Sony removes Suicide option from Project Morpheus!
Quote:
Sony’s much-touted virtual reality headset, Project Morpheus, has been doing the rounds as of late (including at this year’s GDC event) with a handful of exclusive demos designed to immerse your senses in new interactive experiences. In fact, one of these demos was so convincing Sony had to remove the ability to turn a virtual gun on yourself due to the potentially damaging psychological effect it could have on users.
The change was revealed in an interview with president of Sony worldwide studios Shuhei Yoshida in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine. “It can be quite scary. Originally, when the Sony London team was making the London Heist demo, they had the ability for you to shoot yourself,” he commented in issue 109 of OPM. “You could point your gun at yourself. And that felt wrong – it was too stressful – so they removed it. The medium is so powerful, so we need to be careful with what we provide.”
How disgusting of them to value human life over potential profit.
Sorry, I was unaware Sony built the Matrix and their virtual guns actually kill people. While they're at it they should prevent you pointing guns at other people too. London Heist?
