Finally, it is here! RIGS, a PlayStation 4 title exclusive for the Morpheus headset, has been released. Working on this game was an amazing experience, having to create a game in parallel with the hardware being developed (and being told “Don’t drop it, there’s only four of those in the world”).
In addition to the performance challenges (the game needed to run at a rock-solid 60FPS to make the best use of Morpheus’ reprojection technology), there were a number of areas where we just had to drop the traditional way of doing it as it doesn’t translate well in VR, such as HUDs having to be embedded in the cockpit or making sure that cutscenes never rotated the player.
