I do want something like this (and the STIMs feedback sounds great) but I feel like that's too much money to shell out for a kickstarter, since there's no guarantee it'll work well or we'll see much software which integrates it.
Nobody claims Rumble feels like your actually shooting an automatic rifle, but people still like the feel of it non the less.Flameeater said:Our sensory system, for lack of a better word, is very complex, and to think you can fool it with a few rumbly pads and a light electric shock is just insulting really...
No way, this could be genius for marketing.Strazdas said:Being shot repeatedly with a rifle while health autoregenerates? Thanks but no thanks. i dont play games to experience pain.
No your muscles actually do contract quite severely to counter the recoil, otherwise you would be flopping around like jelly for minutes after each shot. I know it wouldn't seem that way but we never do observe to what muscles we move, it is simply handled by our system on instinct, which is why it can be very easily exploited for virtual feedback.Flameeater said:Nor does the recoil make your muscles contract. What it does is compress the tissue, quickly and violently, some more then others...
If an argument is made that peripherals like this are not designed to give an "authentic" experience then I must simply ask what is the point?
On the plus side, it appears to lack pants, so we don't need to worry about any future crotch-fondling shenanigans.___________________ said:Nice. Can't wait to play a Metal Gear Solid game with one of these on....I'll just keep my fingers crossed so we don't get a lot of torture scenes in the next games...
After quickly skimming the Kickstarter page, they apparently have two versions. Their "ARAIG Architecture" image lists both an "Exoskeleton Male" and an "Exoskeleton Female." Don't know what their plans are regarding producing suits for various body shapes or cup sizes, but at least they have something in the works.CriticalMiss said:They should call it the Crazy Real As It Gets suit, then the acronym is CRAIG which is less dumb. Odd, but less dumb.
I'd like to know how this thing copes with boobs. Or is it exclusively a boys toy?
It's probably like the 3D effects in movies or the 3DS: Too hard to explain properly, you'd have to try it out to get an idea.BleedingPride said:So what happens if you get shot exactly...? I assume it won't be so bad, but I just want to know exactly how that's being dealt with.
Good point...damn Volgin and his questionable identity checking techniques.Moontouched-Moogle said:On the plus side, it appears to lack pants, so we don't need to worry about any future crotch-fondling shenanigans.___________________ said:Nice.
