Feel the Bullets While Playing Shooter Games



TN Games, makers of "physical experience hardware," will release a PC vest accessory on Nov. 21 that mimics the feeling of being hit by real bullets when playing first-person shooters.

The 3rd Space FPS Vest features eight embedded contact points that are said to simulate the direction and force of bullet fire in a first-person shooter game.

"Our patented vest technology now provides gamers with an unprecedented opportunity to physically experience their action... feel the rush of body slams, be crushed with G-forces, feel a stab wound or be blasted with bullet fire in either a single or multi-player game," said Mark Ombrellaro, founder of TN Games.

The 3rd Space FPS Vest comes bundled with a TN Games developed first-person shooter in addition to a 3rd Space enabled version of Call of Duty II. The rumble suit retails for US$189, although it can be purchased online without Call of Duty II for $169.

Shipping Nov. 21, the FPS vest also supports Quake 3, 4, and Doom 3 via free software patches found on the Redmond-based company's website. It is available in black, digital camouflage, and pink and comes in two adjustable sizes


I can't wait to feel like I'm being riddled with bullets playing COD4, what a RUSH!!!!!

uh, i'm weaksauce when it comes to pain, but i doubt they would put something in the market that is painful. pretty interesting bm.

As weird as it sounds..? Somebody is gonna get that shit...

Man, I don't know how I feel about this. HW, you're right in saying they wouldn't put anything too painful on the market. But this would definitely enhance the gaming experience. It'll be interesting to see how people respond to it.

Buff, you play COD4 on XBox Live? What's your gamertag?

Not this pussy I tell ya. If I wanted to feel gunshot pain I'd sign up for Iraq.

if your gonna pay that much to see what it feels like to get shot you might as well put a white sheet over your head and start calling ppl the N word...
