Here in Edmonton there is a 10 million dollar project to build a huge recreational arcade center on the southside by Cineplex Odeon. It will be a large 2 story building filled with arcades, food and beverages, bowling, Racing simulators and some top secret VR space they won't talk about.

I'm very excited for the grand opening this fall and I plan to go myself!

Personally I think that VR will be the key to restart the arcade industry should it ever happen. The amount of unique experiences that can be tailored and made for certain environments is pretty vast.

I guess im not the only one who thinks VR can revive arcades .

Nope, your not :P


Arcades never really had to die. Back in 2004 we had a Playdium that had stuff like this:

Ours was in the shape of a monster truck and was a monster truck simulator where you would drive a monster truck in real time over hills and what not. It had 360 movment and was equipped with pedals, steering wheel, and a shift stick.


This Bobsled one actually is the same unit from Edmonton. You move them youreslf but they do tilt on the slops. This video is to show them to auction them off :'(



We also had a Indy car one as well that was in the same style. The line was alway busy and they had around 8 or 12 of them for multiplayer.
