would totally love to play. but not booked in! might set a team up with my mates and head down....hard to do since we're in sydney

[DivHunter]

Eh, that's some expensive laser tag

[Madaz]

That certainly looks and sounds alright

[Cowboy1600]

A pic of the guns. They weight in at ~3.5kg each. Unfortunately, due to a problem importing parts, they will have no recoil

[Madaz]

Hahaha nice

do your own recoil.

but seriously, that sucks a LOT - it cuts realism by a fair bit

It's just fancy laser tag, are they even using the proper receiver suits or some gay head only thing?

[J34]

in theory it sounds good, I saw something like this advertised overseas ages ago so its nothing new. Might wait for some vids to pop up and see what its like.

I believe they are using receiver suits, that's what I've read on their forums but I don't actually know. (Ie receivers + headset to know where they are shot?)

One of the resident cannon fodders:

Now put the rigging for all the laser tag gear on him.

Hour and a half for $150!

Jesus, just go to Anakie, great fields, speed tested guns, cheaper for all day http://www.hotshotspaintball.com/

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah for $125 as a starting point for ~60-90mins... You can get half a day with a reasonable amount of rounds at a proper Paintball field...

And then this "merch" push...

The website is lacking a fair bit of detail as well still with regards to how the game works. It makes reference to "research improving experience" - DAFUQ does that mean? Do you have to buy it? etc.

The idea does sound good, however will it actually still be around in 18 months is the real question if there is more than just a $125/60-75min cost as that's fairly expensive given you have to drive somewhere past Jacana/Broady which is 20kms from the CBD.

[darksky34]

would be good if you melbourne folks could test it out for us in other states =D

as for the merch, it's all optional like the suits / uniforms etc, on the day they provide free jumpsuits (you can't keep them obviously) but you can also just wear whatever you want. as for the other stuff like tshirts, cups...er....waste of money yeah.

[DivHunter]

Turns out I know one or more people that did this. Look f**king elite this lot.

[darksky34]

are they re-enacting shaun of the dead?

[*LOACH*]

are they re-enacting shaun of the dead?

:w00t: nice reference

[Cowboy1600]

Today is the day zombies will die.

If the pre-game effort they have gone to is any indication of the game itself, tonight is going to be pretty damn good.

So far we have received our "orders" in the mail, along with our GAPS access card. I also received an email earlier this week with a special mission set for myself and one of my party members to complete.

They have set up a website where we can get a full rundown of the night. They have videos of the antagonist, weapons briefings etc etc. So far, very impressive.

Feedback coming out has been very positive thus far. I can't wait.
