    Gabe jumped off a tall building and hit the ground. The suit recreated the feeling of this and crushed Tycho.

    Shit, I really need to play these games. Though that does remind me of how many times I accidentally killed Link via fall damage during the tutorial area in Tears of the Kingdom.

    After playing Breath of the Wild, it was much too easy to think "now I'll just deploy my paraglider and glide down from here!" without actually having a paraglider...

    Is Haptic Suit a real thing? Does such a thing actually have integration with Assassin's Creed? How much of this comic is true?

    I'm also curious as to which AC he's playing. Valhalla has a lot less hay than other ACs. I found that game is quite... accommodating to falling deaths.

    Yeah, I went a good chunk of the early game missing the part where you open the towers and get the glider, because I just love to explore and hate following the main quests. Finally when the lady took me up in the balloon and expected me to jump out, I realized I had missed something and went looking.

    That was something that BotW did better, in that you couldn't even leave the Great Plateau without getting the glider first.

    I remember seeing gaming magazine ads for the "Aura Interactor", a giant plastic vest that cost like $250, promising to deliver me all the punches and kicks I received playing Mortal Kombat on my sega genesis.

    Time is a flat circle.

    It is a real thing, and it does integrate with AC.

    It's kind of clunky though.

    Rez seems like a much more fun use of full-body haptics that any kind of shooty/stabby thing.

    Seems unexpectedly gruesome, even for PA. Or maybe I'm just getting squeamish.

    Be real awkward when Jigsaw had to stop to recharge it.

    It's up there, but there is definitely a history of serious gore. I think it's been awhile since we had something this gnarly.

    Yeah I remember that from the 90's. Haptics is a lot like VR in that way. I'm surprised to see another company attempting to iterate on it. :)

    I could see more of a market for haptic feedback with VR games. AC played with a controller just feels too disengaged from the body to really feel interesting.

    I found that tilting it doesn't work very well, and once I started jerking it, I got much better results.

    That's a interesting piece of technology, but definitely not something i'm going to be personally interested in.
    Putting aside how unpleasant it would be to have a suit that punches me while i'm suiting in my couch, with me i don't think it would even serves its purpose of being more immersive. Heck, even rumble never really did it for me because it just reminds me i have a controller in my hands, which to me generally make the game less immersive.

    Definitely sounds like something that will go well with VR someday.
    It also (like VR) seems like something that a certain industry will be among the firsts to adopts.

    A Haptic Suit is more something I'd enjoy for a concept like a racing game.

    Or a flight sim, to simulate both cockpit g forces and the pressure suit.

    Edit: I could see some overlap in mech simulators too.
