Ok. I would allow it for this game only. Fresh cut grass is my favorite smell in the world. Good call. |

Now Microsoft's IllumiRoom concept makes a lot more sense in terms of immersion than this GameSkunk product...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re1EatGRV0w
Sounded like a cool product at first but the GameSkunk guys threw all their creditability out the window when I noticed at the end when they mentioned that vibrational dietary supplement b.s. |

Why would they make the game make you barf?
While they may not intentionally aim for inducing the gag reflex, for people like me who are hyper-sensitive to smells, even "good" smells can become objectionable after enough exposure. I can't walk through the perfume section of stores without winding up with a pounding headache.
Yeah, it would definitely need to be adjustable and subtle in general. Also, you can just not use it. :p
I look forward to game where the screen is black and you're simply forced to follow your nose...
This. I believe this would be the best application IMAGINE....

You smell towards the west of the room and smell a stinky Grue, lurking...

what I want to know is, where did they find the investors stupid enough to put up the money for this shit? Because I can come up with plenty of idiotic ideas, and I need investors that don't have any brain cells too.

This is even more retarded than the physX guys trying to tell me my gaming experience wasn't complete until I saw a million chunks of crap flying around a la borderlands 2 when I shot something.
I don't need to smell all the things they're talking about, because they SMELL FUCKING BAD. Nobody wants to smell explosions on the battle field, or a festering bullet wound after two days, or that yummy sewer that untalented dev #241 has you slog through because they can't come up with any other fucking kind of level. (kudos to Spec Ops for NOT making me walk through a fucking sewer!)
In short, this is a bullshit gimmick, it won't sell for shit, and it will quickly die out.

| You just know the early units won't produce smell properly and you will be trying to figure out what the smell is emanating from your PC, or everything will smell the same or smell like chicken. |

If anyone has read 'Ready: Player One', there is something like this in that story. Basically an immersion device that simulates smells depending on the enviroment that you are in (like a sewer in a FPS would give off the smell of urine).
Not sure how many would pay for something like this though. |

So you are telling me there is a device that can produce many smells on demand (they say 30,000)? Why not have that now in a domestic product and allow us to pick what we want? Strawberries, lavender, vanilla, chocolate, bbq, tomato sauce, cigar... rubber burning, hot tar, garbage.
I mean, if this thing can do it, it is viable well well beyond games, in fact games would be limiting it greatly.
So because of that simple logic.... (Reminds me of Milo and the scanner. Pete the Liar, waves a page in front of Kinect, it instantly is in game and Milo reads from it. Screw games, the rest of the world needs that amazing scanner.) because of that simple logic, I don't believe this, unless it's embarrassingly limited.
This doesn't seem to pass my smell test. That said, I won't say it's impossible, just that they then aren't targeting a much bigger audience called everyone living everyday life. |

You wouldn't smell fecal matter and all that stuff, obviously, but there are a ton of neutral smells that would fit well with battlefields, sewers and other areas like that. Don't you agree? No. Because THAT will break immersion. Gentle flowers i may smell, but in the sewers i only get some fake "sewery" smell? Which will be unpleasant to many people even if they conjure up some earthy, mossy fake smell?
But a someone mentioned before ... they tried that in cinemas several times. Smell cards and evaporators and such. Didn't work. |
