Forget the rumble controller: ForceWear Vest

[Altimus]

Hidden from nerd radar comes a new technology dubbed the ForceWear Vest. Developed by Dr. Mark Ombrellaro and TNGames, the ForceWear Vest will be the next step in rumble gaming where the player will wear a full upper body vest equipped with 8 pressure areas. Basically, imagine playing Killzone 2 where you will not only feel rumble but the cuff of every bullet entering your CGI body, or playing Burnout 5 and feeling the kick and thrash of your collisions.

how long till the rumble results in a broken bone or worse... yeah, sounds funny, but I swear it'll happen someday.

I remeber there was a vest/backpack like contraption back in the day. It was basically just a really bad subwoofer. At any rate, playing the Wii is about as far as I'll go when it comes to looking like a total nerd while playing games. I'l have to pass on any vests and what-not.

Re: Forget the rumble controller: ForceWear Vest

And how much is this add-on going to be? Which games are going to utilize it? I can definitely feel it, but if I only have one, what's the purpose? I mean, if I'm playing NBA 2K7 and I'm wearing the vest, how is that going to benefit me against my opponent? Good concept but there is so much that can go against it. I'll definitely check to see how far this concept goes.......

I believe EG is on his way to GameStop to reserve this as I type.
