Are You Ready to Smell Your Games?

[Wordsandstuffwillbenexttothis8465]

I always wondered what a post apocalyptic wasteland smelled like, guess i could know soon enough.

 

[OrenjiJusu]

Seriously? This is just stupid.

Imagine the smell of a game like Dead Space. Why would you ever want to smell that?

well with certain games, like dead space and halo for example, the main character wears a helmet almost all the time. so all you'd be able to smell is recycled air and head sweat.

 

[Madshaw]

it would get realy disgusting in some levels of games, like any flood level in the halo trilogy

 

[kawligia]

Most smells that would give atmosphere to a game are bad smells. It's an interesting thought, but I'll have to pass.

 

[Simalacrum]

Portal smell... the sickly sweet smell of lies... and cake...

 

[Easykill]

I actually want this. Except for the fact the smell would actually BE there, and might be annoying to get out, it would add to immersion greatly. To all the nay-sayers: so, why is it you want to SEE rotting bodies and feces in full HD quality, but don't want to smell it? Both are pretty gross.

 

[The Shade]

Gordon Freeman would be, um, interesting?

Things like Oblivion and Fallout 3 are too massive to be feasible candidates. For now.

As someone pointed out, games where your character wears a helmet all the time (Halo, etc) wouldn't be very interesting at all.

Games like Silent Hill and Left 4 Dead would add a whole new dimension to the terror by including Smell-O-Vision though. Hoo wah!

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Ya that sounds like a shit idea i don't really want to smell anything from games

Because my neighbors would get suspicious if rotting smell is coming from my house constantly.

 

[Kiutu]

I am for this mostly as it is bringing us closer to realistic virtual reality.

 

[Chinchama]

Since I mostly play FPS games, I don't think I'd want blood, sweat, and gunpowder to smell up my room, or like in Fable... I don't want my room to stink of sex, unless it's my own doing.

I'll concede that. But on the other hand, it's a great excuse for those of us already familiar with the smell of rotting corpses in our homes.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Mmmmm...just think of the smell of Condemned.

I raise you the smell of Boomer Bile in your face...

Or the Meat Circus, imagine the smell of that.

 

[Fingerprint]

I love the smell of cordite in the morning.

 

[Arkfeller]

... What do zombies smell like again?

 

[FredFredburgur]

The biggest scent would be gunpowder, like all the time. Or rotting zombie corpses, or some other thing no one wants to be smelling. Probably a lot of sweat too. Or smelling the sewers whenever you're in one in a game. I fear this product.

 

[skitzo van]

Uh oh, imagine if someone played that dark room sex game with this.

 

[Hey Joe]

"Righteo soldier, we need you to go into that room full of eggs and mustard gas, ON THE DOUBLE!"

 

[sharks9]

haha, I could imagine this for Mario games. People sniffing mushrooms all day
