Hi, I was just sitting playing a beat em up on my PC when I thought... How much better would this be if you could control your fighter via VR. I was wondering if others would consider buying a VR suit when the hardware is out and available. Also, What price would you pay for a VR system that you could connect to your pc or console.

I see what u mean. However, There's probably tons of techno freaks out there that would sell their soul for somethin like that.

I myself am really intrested in little bits of add-on hardware and gadgets of the sort. What kind of gadgets is everyone else intrested in?

I made a post like this not so long ago so here is my comment.

VR costs too much time and too much money. The human emotions as well as normal motions are hard enough without running or people with wonkey legs. (please don't laugh :D)

VR may not be real but to make it real, you would have to feel pain, as well as bleed. Who here would honestly bleed just to have a non-real fight in VR?

VR also attracts things to do which you normally wouldn't do due to laws or human rights. And in the most extreme consequences, influence this kind of immoral behaviour outside the VR world.

Obviously we all want VR to happen but it isn't going to happen anytime soon. The longer it takes, the better in my opinion. My kind of future is Consoles with webcams and microphones.

Thank you very much for my mort thought out answer all day.
Also, How much would you pay for this kinda hardware. It would probably come out at first for like £500(every thing you need for pc or console) and i definatly would not pay that much. I'd wait untill it had came down in price by alot.

if they can make VR headsets that don't ruin your eyesight, and give you headaches, and create a VR body suit that works on more than just a few sensor points, then yes, I can imagine a beat-em-up or other game being quite fun in that respect.

Ignore everyone else.
