While the decision to rebrand isn’t hugely surprising, the new name is a little underwhelming. Though most people will know the name Morpheus from Laurence Fishburne’s character in The Matrix, it’s also the name of the Ancient Greek god of dreams, so was a pretty fitting name for the device.Sony's virtual reality device has yet to receive a consumer price point, but several virtual reality projects were shown off in a new trailer with the name announcement. This included the confirmation that Square Enix’s new Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasy XIV Online, will recieve VR support. Details on how virtual reality will be integrated into the MMO are currently scarce but we may find out more as TGS progresses.Naoki Yoshida, director and droducer of FFXIV, reportedly stated in April that his team was experimenting with Project Morpheus and the MMO, according to Level Up . The director claimed that players could explore parts of Eorzea using virtual reality, although the graphics had to be downgraded to do so.It was also revealed during the conference that a VR game based on anime series Aquarion Evol is in development and will be playable during TGS. Gameplay footage showcased multiplayer mech battles with three people. The anime series centers around main protagonist Amata Sora and two warring planets. Elements, people who possess special powers, are recruited to pilot giant robots in the war.Known projects mentioned during the presentation includes The Playroom VR, Cyber Danganronpa, Hatsune Miku, Tekken 7, Summer Lesson and more.For more news on the newly-renamed PlayStation VR and our impressions from TGS, head to IGN’s Tokyo Game Show 2015 hub
