In one of Project Morpheus demos (the virtual reality device from Sony), players could commit suicide by pointing the gun towards them, an option that has caused controversy and which has since been removed from the playable demo. Speaking to UK's Official PlayStation Magazine (via Gamesradar), Shuhei Yoshida explained the reasoning behind the decision:
"It can be quite scary. Originally, when the Sony London team was making the London Heist demo, they had the ability for you to shoot yourself. You could point your gun at yourself. And that felt wrong - it was too stressful - so they removed it. The medium is so powerful, so we need to be careful with what we provide," explained the President of Sony Worldwide Studios.
Obviously this is further evidence that Sony London's Getaway-esque demo is likely being primed as a full game for Morpheus. Project Morpheus will be released in the first half of 2016 for PlayStation 4.
