Gaming Vest?

Ninja Please! · 16 May 2009 at 21:52

Hey Mates,
Just doing some surfing around and I managed to com across this:TN Games 3rd Space Gaming Vest. From what I gather you wear it when you game and you can feel where you're being shot from (back of shoulder, middle of gut etc.). Has anyone ever tried one of these? They sound cool as hell!

I would get one if they are legit. Maybe someone on here has one and could tell me their opinion of them?

Ha I never thought of that. Thanks I'll have to check that out. I just can't help but think of how funny it must look when someone walks into my room and sees me getting into this hardcore. lol.

I would agree but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want to try it.

I actually read a review giving it props. The user said it actually helped him in fps's because he could instantly tell where behind him he was getting shot from.

I'd post the link but it's a competitor's site.

$139.00 - That's cheaper than what I expected anyway.

Ill do it for free the effects ill just get a pole and stab u with it all the time when u get shot in a game.

It would be rather disturbing if it made you feel the pain realistically wouldn't it? I bet you would get real good real fast

I've heard of these, think they sound like a good idea. Though you would look like a **** & i'm sure you'd feel like you were in a swat team with it on

Think that if the software with them worked & integrated with the game you were playing they would be good, like surround sound you would know where the enemy was.

That member of the swat team who got shot in the spine last mission and has to stay in the van and play fps'.

It makes me think that if you get killed by head shot it would make it really unpleasant, you would expect the vibration, but it wouldn't be there.

Interesting concept. How does it actually work?

Not even close, although its developed a bit since then. I think the ear attachment swings it for me.

Some sort of Mohawk adjuster / Telepathy machine?

i'd imagine it's compatability is somewhat limited, surely..

I saw the vest on the gadget show, looked like it works and the presenters gave it thumbs up. I would like to try it but would never buy one.

TBirdUK · 17 May 2009 at 17:57

I have to admit, I got given one of the vests and have never tried it!! Its sitting in the loft as I just dont have the time, maybe I'll give it a go in the next few weeks and tell you what its like!
