Sword Art Online Virtual Reality MMO Project - Master - 02-23-2016

Quote:IBM Japan opened a website for a virtual reality massive multiplayer online game (VRMMO) based on the Sword Art Online franchise on Monday.

The company began taking preregistration for an alpha test, "Sword Art Online: The Beginning Sponsored by IBM." The test willl take place in Tokyo from March 18-20. Applications will be accepted until March 4 and 208 applicants will be chosen.

The website reveals that the completed prototype utilizes IBM's cognitive computing system "IBM Watson" and its high-speed cloud service "SoftLayer." Participants in the alpha test will be able to enter a virtual reality space and interact with other participants using a scanned 3D model avatar.

You’ll be happy to know it won’t follow the Sword Art Online in-game rule that if you die in the virtual world, you die in real life. Phew.

Aw man, I thought the whole point of it was dying in the game and dying in real life :'(

Anyway, that sounds sweet as hell, but all the gear which will be required to play it is probably going to be expensive as hell.

I've heard about this, very interesting. I remember them working on something similar for some time tho. SAO is just a good fit to demonstrate it.

So exciting! I so want a go. Is there a regular Sao game out as well or is this the only one?

RE: Sword Art Online Virtual Reality MMO Project - TheEvilSocks - 02-25-2016

I'm so excited for this and I hope they won't fuck it up.

Some other people are making a non VR version as well. Development has been going on for a long time now, but they're still working on it.
