Needs to be played on fallout 3. I wonder how the thing would simulate having your head ripped apart into 5 pieces.

It's compatible with World of Warcraft? Would that ever suck for any of the players to wear. Think about being a raid tank.

Unless you can find genuine masochists, rig them up with this, and make them the main tank. Preferably a Paladin: "Go into that pile of mobs, and make them hurt you." "Seriously? AWESOME!".

Honestly, there's probably some sick elite raiding guild that'll require them. There's already very successful pay-to-join guilds out there (weird, huh?). Non-tanks will be being punished in real time for pulling aggro. Come to think of it, when I was still playing WoW there's a few people that I'd have wanted to wear one...

Why don't you save money and get a friend to stand behind you with a cricket bat? When you get shot, he whacks you with it. Seriously I'm into development of user interfaces but I don't play games for realism. If my hp goes down then fine but if my IQ goes down everytime I take a shot to the head I'm out.

Stupid. I still have the force feedback turned off on everything I own. A game doesn't get bonus points for physically inflicted feedback until we're actually in VR again.

you should make the whole raid wear them, so dumb ass locks and mages that pull aggro can just be left to suffer... a wipe would be bad tho... lots of 'owch, pain, argh, help,heal me, run, MAKE IT STOP!' on ventrillo

I'd imagine if you got tagged by a headshot in real life you wouldn't be feeling much at all, having a large section of your brain missing and all. Mind you that sums up the target audience for this device in the first place, in my opinion.
I'm surprised it took almost a full page for someone to point this out. Something smacking me in the head when I get headshotted is only going to make it feel like someone's throwing rocks at me. Saying it "simulates the feeling of a headshot" is quite a stretch.

I've never really been interested in stuff like this or the aforementioned vest though, to be honest. The various gaming chairs are cool, especially with sound coming from them, but when it gets to peripherals that I wear I just have no interest whatsoever.

EDIT: Seriously? WoW? Even if it's not something I'd ever be interested in, I could understand others' interest, but who on Earth would want to use that thing to play WoW?

Christ, imagine taking one of those heated crossbow bolts to the head!
Not to mention a shotgun shell to the face at point-blank.

I don't see these devices that add physical experiences to games every becoming popular. Not for shooters, in any case.

This is even better than that wanking machine.
You say 'that wanking machine' like we've all heard of it...

I'm not asking for a picture by the way.
Edit: Or a video.

I don't like the idea of a headshot helmet. The sound effect is good enough for me to know where i'm being shot at from. Presumably the character will die from the headshot so it serves no purpose as to improving performance.

Pointless.

You know, this aught to shut the likes of Jack Thompson and Hilary Clinton the fuck up, because, like they said, it re-sensitizes you. so you know how it feels to be a victim of a shooting, and are more likely to sympathize with others and therefore less likely to go on a "video game massacre".

Oh, and this is freaking cool.

This seems like it would get annoying/start to hurt after a while. Not to mentions it probably looks stupid if someone was to walk in on you wearing it.

I guess Jack Thompson was right after all...

Video games do make people more aggressive, though not the way he imagined. Now, all the gamers will just be brain damaged, like boxers.

It's a good idea, but I think it will just be annoying after like an hour.
It is just like having your kid brother poke you for the remote every time you get hit "now it is my turn to play" ... or in my case one of your college friends sucker punching you every time you get hit ...

It is free and you get the bonus satisfaction of doing the same to him/her when he/she gets hit :D

I'm not sure this beats the force feedback headphones, or the force feedback mouse.

Devices like this are exactly why I want to get rich. Well that and sex.
Screw it, why not combine the two? Wear this and do the deed.
No no, you've got to combine this with that USB sex toy that was featured in a news story, like, 2 days ago.

THEN You'd be rockin'.
