Metal Gear Arcade mixes 3D glasses with head-tracking for this season's hottest new look
Despite a few harrying run-ins with some large white tents at Manhattan's Fashion Week-hosting Bryant Park, we can honestly say we have no idea what's "in" this year for arcade gaming headgear. Still, even with Konami's lack of zebra print or a sly celebrity endorsement, we've got to hand it to them for this fashionable new "Metal Gear Arcade" number. The arcade game is based on Metal Gear Online, but the head gear adds 3D and head-tracking to the experience. There's also a physical gun controller, and the sit down arcade cabinets pump out your gunplay in huge 5.1 sound. This new arcade incarnation of the game will be playable at the AUO Expo in Japan this week, but we have no idea how long it will be until we can look this badass from the comfort of our own couch. Hit up the source link for a riveting video in Japanese that details this exclusive, outside-the-house experience.
























Hottest look? No!
@monzaa : And what the hell do you care when you're supposed to be looking at the damned screen anyway? Jesus, you people with the grudge against glasses are so incredibly shallow.
@monzaa
They have to be ugly so people don't steal them...
But I can't believe none of these designers have ever heard of PINK-EYE... that's the only thing I can think of when I think about sharing a pair of glasses with the world
I got excited until I realised it was part of an actual arcade machine and not a add-on for the ps3.
Hottest look in the Douche-wear Spring Summer collection.
What about for the people who wear glasses.
@KingFaisal94 i believe contact lenses have been invented between the time you commented and i replied. it's a real breakthrough
@brrip
I can't wear contacts anymore due to my astygmatism in my left eye getting worse over the last couple years. Cant do laser eye surgery with astygmatism either. I can see 3d just fine, but I gotta wear glasses (hence why I want a polarized projector for my home 3d so I can get prescription polarized glasses.
Hello there good looking!
Considering the hygiene standards for most nerds, I'd think twice about putting those glasses on.
Snake? Snake? Snaaaake!!!
Dude, are you blind?
Na, just killing zombies...
One sad sad product
@DrBlaze
bad taste
I guess this is just one more step in the life of 3D but who cares about this..really..
mcl
Incredible!
@Atkins

They fucking hurt, its the only reason I resist playing gotcha(aka paintball)
METAL GEAR!!!

@kiyu727 The pain makes it more fun. Imagine the sting of one ball, now imagine your the last man(woman) standing, you vs the field. You hear the sound of twenty markers tearing up your bunker, you know there gonna get you, but your dug in real good, so a few of em' are comin with me.
@kiyu727 Guess it's time to dust of the old gun;)
Just some corrections guys - it is the AOU show (All Nippon Amusement Machine Operator’s Union) - also there is a LOT of video of the game running - try http://www.arcadeheroes.com
Think that you will find that covering the amusement sector may be of interest with your audience again guys?
MGS brough to you by, ANDROGYNOID!
I didn't realize Lady Gaga was into gaming.
I bet thats pretty heavy on the head!
@Atkins
Its also in 1080p (unless you wear glasses) and has NO LAG (unless you're high) whatsoever!
I can't imagine how this isn't awesome. Well, I mean, I can - poor execution - but it's still pretty exciting if you figure in a few years it could be living room bound. The day when you have 3D immersive RPGs isn't THAT far away, which is pretty much what I've been waiting for technology to deliver for my whole life.
Metal Gear Solid 5: Conjunctivitis
Not to go all gun-nut here, but why are they basing the gun on the Magpul PDR, a gun that at this point is just a one-off concept that may never be produced as a functional firearm?
Metal Geeeaaar (*said in the Metal Gear Awesome voice)
Does this mean the headaches are back also
They should have made an open helmet with a 3d visor in the front instead of the fugly pair of glasses.
I'd kill for that to come out on PS3
@Extinction
With those gun, I don't think you can do much damage. :P
