(I cant wait) - krets, on 10/28/2007, -1/+144BB gun + older brother = same effect for free
- MonsterChaOS, on 10/28/2007, -2/+132...and what happens when you get hit with a rocket?
Chest Asplode!!11!!1 - AwesomeMonster, on 10/28/2007, -4/+125Who the hell wants to feel the pain of being shot?
... then again this IS the internet... - inactive, on 10/26/2007, -0/+73"Wow man, what happened to you!?"
"Oh this? Yeah, I fought off this mugger who was attacking a young-girl"
"really!? ....."
"No, the Counter Strike server allowed AWPs" - navster15, on 10/26/2007, -8/+78Hell, if you're going to buy this you might as well enlist!
- ashmael, on 11/05/2007, -0/+63Or you could just put down the controllers and duke it out...
- SgtQuackers, on 10/26/2007, -0/+52This would be great with Wii boxing if they could make it work on the Wii.
- griz, on 10/30/2007, -0/+52Not unless there is a distinct possibility that this vest might actually kill you.
- inactive, on 10/30/2007, -1/+50Personally, I catch myself getting lazy in fps's because I can always reload the save, etc etc. This would be good at motivating players to treat the enemy with more respect. Use better tactics, aim better, etc etc. Maybe I'm alone on this.
- PtoS382, on 10/26/2007, -2/+51Unreal Tournament is going to be SO painful
- PtoS382, on 10/28/2007, -1/+47Nothings better in the morning than feeling like you just got shanked a couple of times
- exomni, on 10/27/2007, -0/+37The research group they hired to describe what it feels like to be shot in the head was less than thoroughly responsive.
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -0/+37Or you could just NOT put down the controllers and duke it out anyway. They ARE called "nunchucks"....
- floodyberry, on 10/26/2007, -0/+34http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF055AD-Game_System.jpg ...
C'mon, it's my turn! - capiCrimm, on 10/29/2007, -0/+33if it doesn't I'm suing for false advertisement.
- azprofessional, on 10/26/2007, -0/+29Depending how much pain, you have a point.
- sacherjj, on 10/26/2007, -0/+28They are when you steal them from your younger brother.
- DiggzDE, on 10/26/2007, -2/+25Where is the profit?
- Ghoztt, on 10/28/2007, -0/+21Cuz we all know you only get shot in the torso in games...
- macwac, on 10/26/2007, -0/+21Watch everyone in the game become campers..
- codeyellow, on 10/26/2007, -0/+20what if the enemies fire armor-piercing bullets? what happens then!?
- LemmingJesus, on 10/30/2007, -8/+28Excruciating pain is playing Halo.
- Shakermaker, on 10/26/2007, -1/+21I'm gonna say "no thanks". I play FPS so I don't have to feel bullets hitting me.
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -2/+22Yeah, I don't know about you guys, but I have this thing against excruciating pain.... It's why I play Halo instead of joining the army =P Man, and I thought the old sci-fi idea of "smell-o-vision" was taking realism too far.
- daridave, on 10/26/2007, -0/+18GROIN SHOT!
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+18Step five : Profit.
- meruru, on 10/28/2007, -0/+18The actual website says that it comes with an air compressor so I don't think it is just a simple rumble pack.
- tankdilla, on 10/28/2007, -0/+17How about a helmet so you know when you've been headshot/tea-bagged?
- Mononuclear, on 10/27/2007, -0/+16I find her singing painful
- merreborn, on 10/26/2007, -0/+15Anyone remember QZar? It was an international chain of laser tag arenas in the mid nineties.
Whenever you got hit, the sensor pack you wore on your chest would vibrate. It definitely added a little to the experience. Hits really register, mentally when you get physical feedback like that.
If you're new to/not really paying attention to a FPS, it's pretty easy to not even notice getting hit. - Elum, on 10/26/2007, -0/+15I agree with you completely.. There is no motivation in most games to prevent yourself from taking hits... except for losing and starting over. This is most easily seen in most multi player games...
- typicalusername, on 10/26/2007, -0/+14This applies only if you are wearing Ninja outfits or are shirtless, like Bruce Lee.
- gibsonic, on 10/28/2007, -1/+15There were some PC add-on mods like 5 years ago that fit in the 5.25" bay on a desktop tower. One was an "innie" and one was an "outtie"
They were sync'd together via software over the internet. You put something in the "innie" and the "outtie" on the other end moves in kind. Same goes in reverse. Outward pressure on the "outtie" on one end squeezed the "innie" on the other end...at least that's what it advertised itself to do. - 1iProd, on 10/26/2007, -0/+14I sure don't want to get hit by an AVRil wearing one of these.
- drlha, on 10/30/2007, -3/+16What else can they mean by "mimics the feel of being hit by real bullets"? Last time I looked, "real bullets" tended to kill or seriously injure you.
- eQUIV, on 10/28/2007, -0/+12SWEET! I hope they add support for Postal 2, then I could feel the sensation of being lit on fire and peed on too! Nothing like playing a great FPS to escape from reality and being REALLY shot.
- Sangatious, on 10/28/2007, -3/+15Its most likely going to be a rumble pack for your chest--that costs $180, doesn't sound worth it to me.
- norman619, on 11/03/2007, -0/+12Man I remember in the first Diablo game if you died whatever you had equiped was pretty much up for grabs. Good incentive to NOT get yourself killed in coop play. :-)
- snarkleclackers, on 10/30/2007, -3/+155, 6, 5? fail.
- SuperMoses, on 10/26/2007, -0/+12Don't blame games for real world problems. Please.
- vulapine, on 10/26/2007, -0/+11Wow! You wouldn't think they would have known in 2004 that the vest was going to be released on November 21, 2007.
- RunnyBabbit, on 10/26/2007, -0/+11It's where player A kills player B, so A stands over B's body and crouches repeatedly.
- MacEnvy, on 10/28/2007, -0/+11The vest does come in pink according to the article. It's either aimed at girls, or to give as gifts to male gamers you don't like very much.
- ookxtreme, on 10/28/2007, -0/+10how about putting a tazer/shock mechanism in the vest also! then youtube the video!!
- JLecker, on 10/30/2007, -0/+10Virtual sex suit IS the profit.
- TwwIX, on 10/28/2007, -1/+11The army lets you feel the bullets for free.
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -0/+10Joy... chest bruises, just what every girl wants out of a game.
- EmperorAwesome, on 10/26/2007, -0/+10I remember when I was in gradeshool, my dad and uncle played a lot of doom over a modem, and they would talk about how cool a full bodysuit to simulate being shot would be. I'ma forward this posthaste.
