RE: Virtual reality games we could see come to life next!

in #ideas8 years ago

Pokemon Go isn't Virtual Reality. It's Augmented reality.

Also, you seem to understand the motivations for rape and other crime rather poorly. While VR might decrease crime rates, it's mainly because of decreased IRL social interactions - not because someone was like, "Oh I want to commit a murder. Shucks, it's illegal? Well I guess it's fine if I do it in this game." Crime comes from poverty and unaddressed social problems. Not from a random unfulfilled urge to hurt someone.

And rape isn't because people aren't getting enough sex so they go out and rape some stranger. Most rapes are by someone the victim knows. It's about power, not sex. They want to demonstrate power over their friend, acquaintance, class mate, etc, and forced sex is the ultimate demonstration of power.

Sort:  

Good points, not saying that this will total solve crime just making some points. It would be cool to see some of these games come to life and be a virtual reality game. Just saying Pokemon go could make video game makers come up with a lot of new ideas. Not saying Pokemon go is a virtual reality game but it could open the door for a lot of new similar concepts. What if you could actually have a fake bad guy off call of duty appear on your phone and you shoot them on your phone too? Or it could just be in the 3D glasses as I mentioned. This isn't a is all be all for video games so don't take anything personally.
