The Ultimate FPS Simulator

Check this out.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I wonder what it would take to build these on an arcade level? Set up a dozen or so separate FPS sims, and sell access?

Nothing but a lot of money, really. This was set up as a promotion for Battlefield 3, soooo if Dice and EA signed off on it... I'm guessing $30,000 per installation.

This is based on the racing sims found in Japanese arcades, mind.

Amen. Although... Thanks to GoW3, I'm more a fan of the Retro Lancer. Something about hoisting a baddie up on your bayonet and then tossing him aside just... speaks to me.
