Have you guys seen Sword Art Online? Or Oculus Rift

Recommended Posts

It's anime about an MMO with a perma-death system (it kills you in real life when you die) and it's very complex.

I would love for you to implement some of the complexity the show has been showing

It's also played from a first person perspective using a VR headset, like the Oculus Rift. I'd also love for you to support it when it comes out in November.

Here's an example

So in ep 5 of Sword Art Online, they told us about a murder that happened in the game. Someone in a guild got a legendary item drop, so they took a vote on if they'd sell it and share the money, or keep it. 3 people voted against selling it, but the majority wanted the money. The married leader of the guild went to town to sell it, never to return. They all assumed (correctly) she had been killed.

Now, 1 of the 3 people who voted against selling it was killed in a safe zone somehow. Something thought to be impossible. He was found hanging from a bell tower with a huge sword in his chest. The protagonist and his side kick tried to rescue him, but it's too late and he fades away.

They inspect the weapon and it was built by Grimlock, the guy who was married to the guild leader. Logic dictates he's killing those who voted against selling the item cause he thinks one of them killed her for it.

The episode ends with a second of the voters next to window. She gets a shocked look in her face, she turns around, a knife went into her back. She falls out of the window, lands, fades away.

Ep 6 starts with them (protagonist/sidekick) in the room with the 3rd voter. He's freaking out, cause via the process of elimination (pun intended) he's next. They look out the window and see a guy in a cloak on a nearby roof. The protagonist (sorry, you all know how much I suck with names) runs after him, but he has a warp crystal and teleports away.

The last guy fled, and ends up at the guild leader's grave. And he profusely apologizes for his involvement in her death. He didn't kill her, but he sent her whereabouts to someone who did. The 2 voters who we thought had died pop out of the shadows and heard everything. Worse, a group of player-killers pop out of the shadows and want to kill all 3 of them. But the protagonist appears and pulls a Kirk maneuver forcing them to retreat. He figured out what was going on. How?

He was in the park eating a sandwich given to him by the sidekick cause it was about to expire. He starts eating it, but it falls to the ground and fades away, using the same animation as a player death (Imagine the Final Fantasy Victory music, but the notes go down instead of up at the end, You defeated: Sandwich!) This is where he clues in. The 2 weren't killed, they only made it look like it by having their armor defeated at the exact moment they teleported out of it. And since Grimlock was married to the guild leader, he'd get her inventory when she died. Not the murderer.

His sidekick appears out of the shadows with Grimlock at the end of her sword. He killed his own wife. Not just the wife in-game, but she was his wife in real life. In reality, she was the stereotypical, obedient, diminutive Japanese wife, but in-game she grew a pair of balls and he didn't like that so he had her killed. (Ironically this is the opposite of what happened to me when I played PSO. PSO taught me I was a timid diminutive person) Sidekick tells him it's not love he felt, but possession. They leave him with the other 2 voters.

Now this is the kind of stuff I want in a game. Not the murder, but plots like making it look like you died in a safe zone. Well, maybe even the murder given how DayZ is turning out. But I want it using the Oculus Rift so it's more like the show. If they could make PSOv2 actually an MMO instead of just 4 players, and make it use Oculus, that'd be perfect.

Rocket mentioned today that he'd love to be able to implement Oculus Rift for use with the game today on Reddit's AMA. I would also love to see this!

Dude. It's a sandbox game...do you understand the meaning of this?

Yes. So is Sword Art Online. Your comment while rude, does not conflict with my request
