Were you looking in the mirror when typing this?
A company that made 4 VR games apparently did not have a VR division... According to you.
Sony have launched major peripherals every generation since PS2
Totally forgot about that lol..I tried the 3D with Uncharted 3 but I didn't like it at all
They obviously had a VR division since the entire company weren't working on VR games... It's that simple. Quit acting dumb
I’d imagine most of these VR studios are on the chopping block. Now Sony is gonna need to fill their showcases with indieshit or something because the VR reels were perfect for bathroom breaks.
Biggest blunder of the gen for Sony. Wasted teams on gimmick trash no one cares for or buys. Outside of cockpit games it’s done nothing of note.
It’s definitely a huge flop. They haven’t bothered reporting on it since launch. I’d be supportive of them dropping it altogether for the next gen to focus all studios on non-gimmick driven tech and make core game experiences instead of this on-rails scripted junk.

I'm going to clue you in on how tech companies work.
Just because you work on a project doesn't make you a part of a division.
The people who worked on these VR games also worked on non-VR games. The people who worked on Ratchet games also worked on Spider-Man games.
There is no Spider-Man division at Insomniac. There is no VR division at Insomniac. There is no Ratchet division at Insomniac. Nor is there an ios/android division at Insomniac. Nor is there an Xbox division at Insomniac.
Some companies have specific teams or divisions who work on games, Insomniac has never been that. Primarily because they aren't that large.
A project does not make a division, nor is one undone by working on a new project.
Yeah it was such a blunder that Nishino was fired... oh wait... I meant promoted to CEO.
For a bunch of people that "had no heart in it" they sure made one excellent piece of tech. Gamespot on the astroturfing train.
People say the weirdest things. The only VR studio Sony bought was Firesprite. They got hit by layoffs and maybe they'll eventually be shutdown, but people saying that Sony made this big investment in VR... there's no evidence of that.
Even Sony London wasn't working on VR before they were shutdown.
I think they'll continue to make some VR games and VR modes just as they have, but primarily rely on 3rd parties on this.
