Skratchy said: Games are CREATED. BY DESIGN. They can take something "real" and make it "more aesthetically pleasing", but that doesn't mean it ACTUALLY looks better. Some of these comments make me worry for our future, especially with VR on the rise... Mark Zuckerberg, walking through a room with THOUSANDS of people in a fake world... CREEPY. Do some people really WANT to live in a fake, artificial, unnatural world than the real one? Are you kidding me? Go out and see the actual world; it's more beautiful than you give it credit for. It only becomes shitty if we fuck it up. |
Why not have both. Until teleportation is invented most of those pretty vistas are pretty damn hard to reach in real life. A VR experience of fake climing mount Everest, why not. Won't be doing the real thing ever, so why not watch movies and documentaries instead and VR in the future.
That's one of the reasons to play games, to get lost in a virtual world. So yes, people have been wanting to live in a fake, artifical, unnatural world since the first rpg or text adventure game, for a limited time of course.
Going on a luxury holiday to a perfect white sand tropical beach paradise beats all that hands down. Can't really do that for an hour every night though, unless you work there. Not that I'm complaining about where I live, beautiful in summer and winter snow, not so much in between. Uncharted 4 looks better than taking a walk through the muddy thawing brown forest. Although it will be warm and green by the time it comes out. Luckily it's still dark at night, Uncharted 4 will be a welcome evening distraction.
Ugh hurry up with teleportation, I wouldn't mind teleporting to a nice warm beach on the day side of the planet for a couple hours :)
