Someone Will Die Playing a Game In Virtual Reality

Posted by timothy on from the and-in-augmented-reality-too dept.

SlappingOysters writes: Grab It has detailed a hands-on session with horror VR title Kitchen — from Resident Evil creator Capcom — and argues how the physical reaction to the experience could lead to death. The site also believes that classifying VR games will be a challenge and many titles could be banned. Virtual Reality has a big year ahead, with the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus all set to release, while Microsoft is working on the HoloLens, which the site argues adds a further challenge to traditional gaming.

    This article was brought to you by the makers of quality monitors, that are all you need, and do not cause your brain to melt like goggles do.

    Long before somebody dies because of playing a VR game, I think we will see somebody complain about getting raped by such a game.

    That's already happened. Haven't you played ET for the 2600? Totally raped me.
