I love Harada and his general attitude and I've loved Summer Lesson since the first teaser. VRVN OR BUST OK.

I really hope Ni-Oh will be good. Although what I really want is an early medieval Japan action or stealth game WITHOUT demons and monsters everywhere. And I do mean early medieval so at least before the Sengoku period.

@karnaz: I don't think they meant that it's fast-paced but rather that it would suck quarters out of you in an arcade game of old times.

Listening to and reading impressions of the latest Summer Lesson demo my heart starts to feel seriously pure and innocent.

With a little luck Harada'll get to expand this into a full on game, that's how the talk goes from Q&A. Would easily turn into a full Idolm@ster game where you're one of the Producer, you build your group and arc.

Worthwhile article on SL and it's strength in "I'm really there" http://www.wired.com/2015/09/playstation-vr-kitchen-summer-lesson/

I need to experience this!

Where were they getting this "Operation Racoon City sold well especially on PC" information? Really? I find that hard to believe.

I LOVE the sound of this game. I find that samurai settings are so neglected and could make for such a good game.

If you're talking about the "Would you save your son?" thing, it's a Mario Maker level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSm1Rn7Prcs

The more I hear about VR the more concerns I am getting regarding the psychological effects of something so immersive. Now gaming has been accused over and over for brooding violence but it has never been proven... what are the chances this level of immersion can affect you over time? What if you are placed in a position to exact violence? Your mind thinks its real enough and will illicit those emotions far more than traditional gaming methods and lets face it there are lot of people that may not be able to handle this threshold...

I need more Mark arguing with Shane about Kingdom Hearts in my life. It's a pity that they cut that conversation short for the sake of "moving things along". Pffft. What else am I gonna hear about? More pie-in-the-sky VR evangelism?
