Sony's Project Morpheus VR system has a new, more obvious name: PlayStation VR. The announcement came today at the company's Tokyo Game Show press conference, but that's about the only new information Sony was willing to part with. Explaining the change, PlayStation product business president Masayasu Ito says "The name 'PlayStation VR' not only directly expresses an entirely new experience from PlayStation that allows players to feel as if they are physically inside the virtual world of a game, but it also reflects our hopes that we want our users to feel a sense of familiarity as they enjoy this amazing experience." He adds that the hardware itself will continue to be refined in the coming months, and that Sony is working closely with 3rd parties and in-house studios to ensure there are actually some games for the thing when it launches. There's still no official release date for the headset, which is due for release at some point in early 2016.

I personally am very excited for this, I will definitely get this. I have been waiting a while to experience Virtual Reality. It looks dope.

New controllers and faceplates!
Sony announced four new PS4 gamepads at the Tokyo Game Show. The new colors available will be Gold, Silver, Steel Black, and Crystal—a transparent iteration of the controller.

The PS4 itself will be receiving faceplates in various colors including, naturally, gold, but also silver, red, yellow, purple, and pink. Unfortunately, for the time being at least, both the new controllers and faceplates are being released in Japan only starting this November. I’m sure we’ll see at least some make their way to Europe and the Americas, but not right away.

These are pretty cool but the faceplates have been out for a while and you can find some cooler looking ones for a cheaper price. The controllers are fantastic although.
