Project Cars Announces Morpheus Support
Project Cars, the highly realistic racing sim from developer Slightly Mad Studios, has announced Morpheus support for the game's upcoming release on PlayStation 4.
The announcement comes from a blog post on the developer's website, where Slightly Mad writes about how virtual reality is a perfect fit for the racing genre and delivering a true sense of speed.
Project Cars announced Oculus Rift support for the game in 2012, but makes no specific mention of the device in this post. We've reached out to the developer to confirm continued Oculus Rift support.
Update: Project Cars' creative director, Andy Tudor, confirmed continued Oculus Rift support in an e-mail writing, "Project Morpheus joins the long line of ‘next gen tech’ that we’re supporting such as 4K displays, nVidia Shield, Oculus Rift, and the latest steering wheel hardware in our quest to take gamers ‘beyond reality’."
Project Cars is planned for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Wii U, and Steam on November of this year.

Our Take
Project Cars seems like it would be the perfect showcase for virtual reality. The player remains seated in virtual world of the game, and presumably in real life, so the the disconnect that exists in something comparable like a first-person shooter is gone. We still don't know if virtual reality is the way we will consume entertainment, but developers (and Facebook) seem pretty convinced it is.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
