Hey, it's like laser tag, but you have to look through a tiny screen while you run and jump and try to evade and attack! What could go wrong?

- eric001 11y agoJust like you, I was about to write a rather pessimistic comment about how obsolete this will be as soon as VR goes mainstream, but I hate being the nay sayer so I will just go along and assume this would be great as a cheaper "hybrid" alternative to join the fun?
- rquantz 11y agoHonestly, it does look like fun. But also like a lawsuit waiting to happen? Like a future source of broken noses and arms and what-have-you when people trip or run into walls. Which, that's fine, if that's a risk you choose to take. But I think "what could go wrong?" is justified.
- jcoffland 11y agoI don't see why they couldn't add VR headsets once they gain traction. If they started out requiring hardware that was expensive and almost none had then it would be difficult to reach critical mass. It would be even better I'd they didn't need anything but a phone to get started.
- emerongi 11y agoPlus, it has the Airsoft/Laser tag bug - it relies on people being honest. I can just place the phone under my shirt if I'm moving around and never die. So you can immediately scratch the "massive multiplayer" part off the slogan - if it's going to get popular, people are mostly going to play in small communities.
