The first title revealed for Project Morpheus is the totally not creepy Summer Lesson.
Today Sony announced that Tekken team are working on a brand new virtual reality game called Summer Lesson, which places you in the bedroom of a Japanese schoolgirl. – No seriously look at the video!
Judging from the name and the available gameplay footage, your her tutor and so far the only way you can interact with her is by shaking or nodding your head to her questions. While there isn’t much information about the game at the moment, it will be at the Tokyo Game Show on September 18th, so more information should be available then.
So how many people want Summer Lesson outside Japan?
Summer Lesson is the first game revealed for the Sony VR headset, which is called Project Morpheus and was revealed back in March at GDC. It also briefly showed up at E3, although Sony didn’t focus much on it.
Project Morpheus is Sony’s first attempt at virtual reality gaming and despite being in direct competition with the Oculus Rift, both sides are sort of working together.
PlayStation Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said on VentureBeat back in March that:
“The Oculus guys are saying the same thing. Even their DK2 [development kit 2] is pretty good, but still, they see some other areas they still have to work on. So in trying these things, we are kind of helping each other.” and that:
“For example, DK2 has low persistence. It’s pretty good. We don’t have that. What we have is the 3D audio worked out … how we’re going to mix that and make it much easier, more comfortable to wear, for the PlayStation Move interaction that’s integrated with the headset. The positional tracking.”
Summer Lesson is the first game revealed for Project Morpheus and the game will be at the Tokyo Game Show.
