VR News: Rick and Morty; The Simpsons
Still evaluating whether or not I want a Playstation VR, but this may help.
If you’re at New York Comic Con this weekend, the closest thing you’ll get to see from Rick and Morty is a chance to check out the new VR game happening over at booth #768.
In related news, FOX has announced that the October 16th episode of The Simpsons airing at 8 pm ET/PT will be the “Treehouse of Horror XXVII” featuring a VR couch gag entitled “Planet of the Couches” to help celebrate the landmark 600th episode.

Produced with Google Spotlight Stories, “Planet of the Couches” will be available on October 16 through the Google Spotlight Stories app on Android and iOS. View it with any Google Cardboard viewer for the full VR experience. The couch gag will kick off the milestone 600th episode, and will beavailable as a VR experience via the app.
“Treehouse of Horror XXVII” features Mr. Burns organizing a Hunger Games-style contest pitting Springfield children against each other and Lisa’s imaginary best friend killing Lisa’s real friends in a fit of jealousy, while Moe recruits Bart to take Homer’s place as a covert agent.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
