Nothing will separate you from other people in the real world more than a virtual reality headset, but Sony doesn't think that means we can't get more social virtual reality games. The company recently revealed that its in-house London Studio, which created the EyeToy camera, SingStar, and The Playroom, is working on social experiences for the PlayStation 4's VR headset Project Morpheus.

"Look at our studio history—we've done a lot of social games," SCE London Studio Director Dave Ranyard told Digital Spy in an interview. "Having that social screen is really important to us. There's actually quite a lot you can do with that. We've been doing lots of companion apps as well—you can interact, you can see what they're seeing—you can imagine that with a haunted house, and you can totally see it—the payoff is brilliant."

Ranyard also said that the current demos that Sony is using to show off the device, Street Luge (watch Conan O'Brien play it here), and The Deep (which puts the player in a shark proof cage), are cool experiences, but it's too soon to say whether they'll evolve into full games.

"[Morpheus is] still a prototype, we don't have a date on hardware. We're very pleased with some of the things that we've done, so it would be lovely to get out there to an even bigger audience than the people that just go to shows," he said.

PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida recently revealed Sony has completed 85 percent of the work necessary to release the consumer model of Project Morpheus.

Both Twitch and Steam have issues new rules that ask users to label content and games they were paid to promote.

For Steam, the new rules are aimed specifically at Steam Curators, a feature that was introduced to the platform in a major update last month. Curators are individuals or groups that publish reviews and recommendations on a dedicated Steam page.

The about page for Steam Curators now clearly states that "If you’ve accepted money or other compensation for making a product review or for posting a recommendation, you must disclose this fact in your recommendation."

On Twitch's end, the game streaming site published a blog post announcing a new policy and features to better identify "Influencer Campaigns," meaning cases in which broadcasters are paid to play certain games for promotional purposes.

"While we have always encouraged our broadcasters to acknowledge if they are playing games as part of a promotional campaign, we are now establishing a much more transparent approach to all paid programs on our platform and hope that it sets a precedent for the broader industry," Twitch's VP of Marketing & Communications Matthew DiPietro said. "Simply put: We want complete transparency and unwavering authenticity with all content and promotions that have a sponsor relationship."

Twitch users will notice that sponsored channels and newsletters are now labeled as such, and tweets that promote these streams will be clearly identified as well.

DiPietro later clarified that the new policy pertains specifically to Twitch driven campaigns. For sponsor relationships that are made between broadcasters and publishers alone, Twitch recommends that all broadcasters follow FTC guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in advertising.

If data from the first half of the year is any indication, funding for Kickstarter games in 2014 will drop by more than half compared to 2013, according to game consulting and market intelligence agency ICO Partners.

2013 saw 446 Kickstarter game projects get funded compared to the 175 projects that were funded in the first half of 2014 (between January 1 and June 30). If funding keeps going at that rate for the second half of the year, 2014 will see only a 20 percent decline in the number of successful Kickstarters. However, things look more grim when looking at the total amount of money pledged.

Kickstarter games raised $58 million in 2013, while the first half of 2014 stands at $13.5 million. "If 2014's second half is comparable (something that is not easy considering you need a similar number of big hits), 2014 would be less than half of what 2013 has been… A sobering consideration," ICO Partner CEO Thomas Bidaux said.

Bidaux theorizes that the decline is in part because all the big name Kickstarter projects were already funded. In 2013, 21 project brought in more than $500,000 in funding, a lot of which had recognizable brands or developers behind them. These include projects like Torment: Tides of Numenera, Mighty No. 9, and Elite: Dangerous. So far, only three projects raised more than $500,000 in 2014: Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Amplitude, and Unsung Story.

Another reason for the decline, Bidaux thinks, is that people are more aware that Kickstarter projects can fail. In 2013, we saw success stories like Double Fine's Broken Age and the Oculus Rift, but now we've also seen projects like Yogventures and Clang fall apart.

Finally, Bidaux says that some priojects might be going directly to Steam Early Access instead of Kickstarter, which might be better for many developers with playable builds since there's no end date for the funding campaign.

Flatout creator Bugbear Entertainment has announced a new name for its demolition derby-themed racing game previously known as "Next Car Game." The project is now called Wreckfest, which Bugbear introduced with the following Urban Dictionary definition:

“Mostly common in racing series such as NASCAR and Formula 1 (aka F1). This happens on some tracks during races where the cars are close together and drivers misjudge how close the cars are. Thus, resulting in one big wreck after another.”

"As Wreckfest is all about the madness of colliding cars at breakneck speeds, a term describing the glory of tearing metal is nothing if not apt," Bugbear said.

Bugbear also announced the release of Build #6 of Wreckfest. It adds 18 player multiplayer, a new track, a new car, and improved suspension physics. For the full list of additions and fixes head over to the game's website.

Wreckfest is currently in Steam Early Access and Bugbear has yet to announce a release date. This is also just good reminder that Wreckfest's physics and destruction models are just super entertaining, as you can see in the video below.

Retailer Amazon posted a listing for a PlayStation 4 bundle that includes a copy of LittleBigPlanet 3.

The bundle is priced at £386.78 (about $617) and according to Amazon is set to release on November 21, which is close to Little Big Planet 3's November 18 release date. The bundle also appeared on Amazon's Spain site, but has yet to be confirmed by Sony. We've reached out to Sony asking if the company plans to release a similar bundle in other territories and we'll update this post with anything we hear back.

LittleBigPlanet 3 is the first entry in the core series developed outside of franchise creator Media Molecule. Sumo Digital is developing the game, which will release on both PS4 and PS3, while Media Molecule is working on an unannounced PS4 game.

Sony recently announced two other PS4 bundles that so far have only been confirmed for Europe. There's the €439.99 (about $565) Driveclub bundle, which comes with a glacier white PS4 and DualShock 4, and the Far Cry 4 bundle, which comes with a free copy of the game.
