How disappointing, they made this interesting new tech and all they can think to use it for is punching and stabbing πŸ˜‘

How about a tickling game or something fun?

Or reverse twister where you have to stretch to touch yourself in different spots?

Who tf wants to get punched and stabbed??

I'm sure those enterprising game devs on steam will publish a whole bunch of hentai games that works with the suit as soon as the suit released.

I need to be stabbed by the OWO suit

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The shirt probably won't sell many units, but just wait until they release the pants.

notices your haptic feedback shirt OWO what's this

There's no way on earth that a haptic feedback shirt made by a company called OWO wasn't intended to be marketed at furries in VRchat lmao

Assassin's Creed with stakes. When you die on highest difficulty setting you die irl.

Desynchronized

If you’re into the feeling of getting punched or stabbed, why not try just getting into a street fight? You will save money, and it would be super realistic.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Street Fighter 6 World Tour is everywhere, if you're brave enough.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This game really makes you feel like you're being stabbed with a knife.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The realism’s off the charts! It’s horrible! I’ve already preordered!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will this fit comfortably over moobs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Far more than comfortably my friend

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I've tried a haptic vest back in the late aughts. Tested it with CS:S if I recall correctly. It was fun until the point blank shotgun blast. Worth a try for sure, but I personally wouldn't use it more than once.

Out of all the haptic options, this is definitely one of the more gimmicky ones.

Everyday we get a little closer to Ready Player One

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/0NSHASDuD_A

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

On a scale of 1-to-Sad, how disappointed with this product were you?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first LAN I ever went to was around 2009. BFG graphics card were still a thing and I think the 780 was king. I had purchased maybe Battlefield 2 to play there. One if the vendors had a suit that did this for their game back then. This is the first time if seen anything like it since then. I'm thinking that most people don't want to spend money on something like this based on my experiences.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Inclined to agree. It seems more like a gimmick than quality of life. Only a select portion of the market would spend any money at all for the privilege of feeling someone punch and stab them, and unlike rooftop sword fights and time powers, it's available for free without looking like a dweeb.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It’s effective you’ll get better at defense.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was talking to my friend who got headphones with haptic feedback. He told me it was the most annoying thing in the world and turned it off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ill accept the buttpunchers seat haptics, or haptics on the table, but on the head? Very terrible idea.

[–] Chadus_Maximus 3 points 1 year ago

Jesus Christ. Were those the Skullcandy crushers?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Friendly reminder that Ubisoft horribly exploits their workforce. Fuck'em

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not the upcoming vr game though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't tell a cost or a release date for the tech

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but when will I not be able to buy it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Correction: *Assassin’s Creed haptic feedback shirt will let players OwO.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There's a few different tech solutions coming out and already out for this type of thing in the VR community. The most popular one I know of is the bHaptics Tactsuit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wonder what the price tag on this ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's... actually not as expensive as I was expecting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably a laser printed flexible silicone sheet with low-bond adhesive for clean removal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow this is so cool! No idea this existed!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We all know where this tech is going.

Only a matter of time until we finally get that PH haptic feedback we’ve always wanted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Marilyn Monroe-Bot incoming next

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yoooo I want this!! I haven't been keeping up with the AC series though...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They're pretty massive now. Opinions seem quite mixed on the latest (Valhalla), I didn't enjoy it much or even complete it. Origins / Odyssey were imo excellent though and definitely worth a look, considering you can prob grab a key fairly cheap for those two.
