Unreal Engine 4 now supports Morpheus - meaning developers can easily implement compatibility with Sony's device and Epic think this VR thingamajig will have legs.
Epic Games has issued a new update for its latest videogame development engine, Unreal Engine 4. The update, titled Unreal Engine 4.2, adds a host of new features to the tool, which features support for virtual reality (VR) development. Where as previous a previous update had made the engine compatible with Sony Computer Entertainment’s (SCE) PlayStation 4, this latest addition includes support for the console’s Project Morpheus VR headset, running on both PlayStation 4 and PC.
The engine is already compatible with the Oculus Rift VR headset on PC, and has seen a slew of supported projects already announced for it. Of course, Project Morpheus running on PC doesn’t mean that SCE’s headset will be compatible with PC titles upon release, merely that developers can use the headset on the platform while creating their videogames. It should prove to make cross-platform development of Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift titles smoother, without having to transition to the PlayStation 4 for the former’s development.
