Can this be successful? How bad is it for our eyes? I can see myself playing a game like Dishonored on this.

 
No thanks. I rather not jeopardize my health and get a brain aneurysm while I use that device.
 
That stuff has been around for many years, but were not something made for for home use like consoles. No, it's not the same thing as the Virtual Boy, the visor actually senses your head movement, and the camera will move depending on where you look. They were true 3D games while Virtual Boy games used some optical illusions to make the images "pop-up".

When I was still in my teens, I tried a VR game called Ghost Train. It's basically just a rail shooter, where you look around and shoot enemies that appear in front of you.

I only tried it once for a couple of minutes, so I don't how it will affect people from prolonged use.

Very risky for the eyes. The nice part about this though is that when I am playing as a female character, I get to see myself be sexy like Jade or Mileena. I can imagine myself pressing the jump button while looking down my chest. Spreading of which, what if the next MK game was like this?

Also, I'd love to imagine playing as Mai Shiranui in this perspective while pressing the jump button and looking down my chest. Bouncy bouncy!!! ;)

Well, at least unlike 3D cinema there'd be literally no crosstalk between the two different views and you aren't forcing the eye to see two separate images out of one. So there'd be less eyestrain with it & other problems 3D cinema has.

Also, any prior VR experience is highly outdated.

As for health risks like getting an aneurysm. That reminds me of how some people think one'd get cancer from soaking up the rays from a TV. I doubt there's any link from to having strokes or aneurysms and VR at any rate.

Also that pic of the guy in the lingerie is just nasty.

Dishonored would be even MORE awesome with this.
Assassinating fools and using special powers in first person view?
Where do I sign up? ;)
 
My first choice as far as games are concerned would be a remake or another sequel to Jumping Flash. There hasn't been any other game I'm aware the captures the thrill of leaping from tremendous heights.
 
Looks awesome, but seeing as how I just got my PS3, I likely won't find the cash for one of these things until about 2025
