Cant argue with that, it is cool to see a new Knightmare story. It seems to be in exactly the same vein, just a shame the game isnt.

: D

What exactly is the point?

It seems to me that the VR knightmare takes the whole 'mates guiding a blind adventurer' aspect and removes it. thus leaving... what?

I always thought the whole point was that the poor guy couldnt see anything apart from what was under his nose. The only benefit i can see from VR is if they altered the helmet so the guy wouldn't see mostly blue screen under his nose then yeah, that would be cool and kind of add to the 'knightmare' a little. But controlling a computer charcter around seems pretty lame to me.

Take a look at the pics though, jeez!

How scary is gorping at an egg screen gonna be? How many peeps wanted to be that lone guy with the oversize helmet on wandering about in some massive warehouse painted blue, everyone knew how it was done and no-one cared, because it just seemed so cool. People walking up to you and talking at you and you dont have a clue who they are. Picking up random stuff that your mates seem to think might be some use. It was the whole point, this VR stuff just seems more dated that the original. Reminds me of Motormouth where poor saps used to try and direct a guy away from the path of the tyranosaur using their phone keypad, bit naff.

Maybe im just being over nostalgic.
