Many have wondered next week's very limited prototype alpha experience for IBM Japan's Sword Art Online: The Beginning was merely a technical experiment and not the true herald of a game in the making. While we still don't have the answer to that question, IBM Japan continues to make us wonder with yesterday's release of several promotional screens for the event.

    I can see it now !

    In the future, VR gamers will all have bodies like the cast of the movie "300" due to all the physical effort needed to play VR games...

    Yeah, riiiight...

    if I could only have $10 for every VR prediction I have made in the past 2 years coming true.

    anyway...here is another one.

    expect to see VR rooms in public places such as malls that provide a better VR experience overall than what the home versions such as Oculus provide, and no I am not talking about existing ones using technology not related to the most recent changes in VR technology

    You would have ZERO dollars.

    So VR being in malls.. Back to the 80s and early 90s are we? Not much of a prediction there scooter.

    SAO would be the one game I might actually shell out some bennies for VR.

    you intentionally misunderstood my prediction just described. You know damn well what I meant.

    anyway, past predictions? yup pretty much all have thus come true

    I like the anime and would love vr experience of this like they seem to be doing ..that said I dunno how much this would take hold in NA/EU but I think it has good chances in Japan. I would so love to do two things before I die of old age and that would be true VR and go to space.

    You might see that in Asia but you definitely won't see it in EU and NA.  The Asian cultures are comfortable with public gaming cafe's but the other cultures are not.  Sure it sounds like fun but to actually get people doing it is something else entirely.  @home units are where the future of gaming lies not @public.

    would you like to place a wager on that?

    I bet within 3 years you will see them here in the states not to much unlike this place:
    https://www.iflyworld.com/

    and yes the vast majority of the future of VR will be in homes but there will be public spaces as well. I am nearly positive this will happen and HTC VIVE is PERFECT for such kinds of spaces because the lasers....link

    Did not know he got married to two people. 
    (Polygamy is marriage, maybe polyamory?)

    It isn't the right time for anything like that.  1970's-mid 80's was the time where arcades in NA were popular.  Now everyone has computers and consoles, everyone wants it at home and not some arcade.  The reason internet cafe's are popular Asia because internet isn't easy to get and its expensive.  Gamers aren't frowned upon like they are in other countries either.  Like I said the idea is great on paper but the public just won't do it.  My local theme park has a vr unit that costs 20$ for like 15 minutes of gameplay.  And you hardly see anyone using it.  Also the local arcades have some hands on games yet they aren't really being used that much and makes you wonder how they are even in business.

    I just got finished posting a new public space sky diving company that has places pretty much exactly as we are describing all over the country, just not VR related.
    public space? check
    pay as you go? check
    like laser tag? check
    like those trampoline places? check
    like those glow in the dark putt putt places? check

    here it is again

    This was a hoax. I can't find any evidence this is anything more than a marketing stunt.

    Would be a pretty nice prank when the game launched to hide the logout button for around an hour and see what people say in chat.

    :D
