Virtual reality will not replace reality because we still need physical exercise. We can not get physically exhausted from virtual reality. We can only simulate it for as long as we are inside the reality.
Well I'm sure VR will never replace the real deal, I never implied that. But it will be huge in our lives that's almost certain. Just imagine how much time people will spend in it for sexual satisfaction alone! You get the idea.
well... like every other new media in the history of human kind is supoused to replace the previous ones... so don't worry, i'm sure it wont be that importnatn in peoples life
Well, I don't really mind what people do with their own lives so long as it isn't immoral but I know I'll be trying to keep my time spent in virtual reality as low as possible. I doubt I'll be able to avoid it completely though when everyone else is using it so I know I'll still be using the technology regardless. But I do still think it will be very important in people's lives,
You only play games in it Or simulate a beach or something. You don't live there. Not more than you live in your computer.
I don't know about that. Reading articles on virtual reality seem to insinuate that it will play a much larger part in people's lives than just gaming. It is predicted to eventually replace TV and the internet. Therefore, people will probably spend a huge amount of their time in the virtual world.
I don't think virtual reality is really my cup of tea. I mean there's escapism and then there's escapism. I don't want to live my life in an entirely different reality from the one I live in now. It's just unsavoury to me. It's why I don't like the idea of doing drugs. It just seems so delusional...
I didn't really love D2 for the story I was too young to even understand the story, but I loved it anyway. The story is actually really lame.
I agree that the story itself isn't anything to get excited about but the manner in which it is told is extremely convincing and engaging. I think that's part of the reason why people say that Diablo has a good story.
You are really underestimating alarms. Just put up a motion detection camera that automatically notifies you when someone approaches the door.
The equipment you use to produce the virtual reality can prevent you from becoming scared, it can easily do it by electrical impulses. What is the point of buying a horror game if it is too realistic to play It would obviously turn you into this brave hero that never get too scared. Dreaming is once again a good example of when you can do things that would scare the fuck out of you irl.
We must drop this now or it will get deleted for beeing off-topic Even if it isn't... it is very possible that D4 will be in virtual reality xD
Alright, I personally will have to judge by Diablo 3 to see if I even want a Diablo 4 before I start thinking about its evolution. Who knows, maybe Diablo 3 will be terrible. I can't see it being in VR though that's for sure.
Hmm, yes it might be scary when a siege breaker breaks out of a wall and charges you But I think that dying would just equal the screen turning black. It would obviously not include real pain
It will be the future, we will all have leet alarms :thumbsup:
There will always be someone who will figure out how to get through those alarms no matter how good they are. Besides, I might not be able to afford good alarms when I'm older anyways.
And I think being anywhere in the Diablo world would be scary as hell. Think about it, everything in that world would seem just as real as the real world. So essentially you would be walking through dark forests surrounded by horribly realistic demons everywhere. It would be absolutely terrifying.
And I'm sure they'd incorporate other senses into virtual reality as well. I don't know if they'd let you feel pain but you'd likely be able to smell and feel everything else. It would be strange if you were walking around in a world where everything looks realistic but you can't feel anything.
Anyway, mainstream virtual reality probably won't be out in our lifetime unless we are very rich. The technology is simply much too expensive for the average joe to buy. Besides, we'll all be dead by 2012 anyway.
I would not want to play a Diablo game in virtual reality ever. I would have nightmares for weeks. And think of all the times you'd get killed in-game. It'd be a horrible feeling I imagine.
Plus I'd be very paranoid playing anything in virtual reality because if as you say, your mind would be disconnected from reality someone could probably just break into your house and kill your real body while you're playing. It's just creepy.
