It was there from the beginning. Sony was super clear: they have a very dedicated VR audience that is excited about new VR games, and they were very clear that we would have a lot of support from that audience. Ultimately, VR is all about frame rates and making sure that comfort is there. So, the bare minimum you need to hit is 48 FPS, and ideally, you hit 60 FPS with dual rendering.
We have things like foveated rendering, which is basically focusing on where the eye is, and all the smart ways that people have come up with to optimize this. We're actually pretty close, but not 100% there, so we're going to spend a few more months optimizing. That's really the effort right now.
It's working now, as a matter of fact. I have it sitting right here, and it works, it's fun, and it looks amazing. But it's not quite ready for prime time. We talked about putting it out as a beta feature, use-at-your-own-risk kind of thing, but that didn't seem right. Let's just wait a few months and get it right, so then people can enjoy it.
