“Not just making something visually stunning, but also telling a story that is emotionally engaging and which resonates with players beyond the game world,” Freeman said. “It’s a bold ambition, we know. But just as PlayStation VR will invite players to enjoy gaming in an entirely new way, I think it should also inspire us as developers to create ambitious experiences worthy of this amazing new technology.”
