Real Life; The Game

[Da_Schwartz]

So if video games became real life..does that mean the actual world would become a video game? 0.o

If it ever got made, games would come full circle - taking a break from everyday life to play... everyday life?

Also, who's to say that this life isn't such a game, and that we aren't just player-characters being played by others?

If that's the case, my player would be a real dick-head, embarrassing me in front of people. Also, the players would be real perverts, watching their characters taking showers and fucking? Then again, I'd be a pretty big douche myself.

Haha then throw in the simulator equipment he mentioned at the top and you got yourself a game where everyone is fucking EVERYWHERE.

Haha and when we die, there is no heaven, just a big "Game Over" screen with the option to return to start.

If it were truly "do as you please" then everyone would be in jail or dead 5 min. into the game.

How does that sound? How about a game where you create yourself (or someone else), and you do whatever you want, real life style, and with that I really mean the really real "real life"? A game with 100% freedom to do what the hell you want. Many games are hoping to be this kind of thing, but it never sticks. Imagine you, in a game (or anyone else, your choice). You choose location, time, and all that shit, and you grow up with the ability of quicksaving. You could do anything you want without consequences, cause you can always load the last save. You would be able to do everything from writing letters to fu**ing your best friends sister (not that I would, I'm just stating an example here, don't discuss this as if I would. I'm not a douche. Or at least that's what everyone will think when I've quick-loaded back). I'm not talking about this like that it should be made, cause to make it, you would need future technology from space, and 30 years of designing, programming and shit. And when it's done, it will be designed for 30 years in the past, when the project started. I'm not talking about this as a serious thing, just wondering what your opinion would be if this existed outside the fairy-tale land of dreams. What would you do if you never would suffer any consequences? (Also, there would be cheat codes) It's life with quick-save.

EDIT: Also, simulator equipment would be available, so you can feel what they're feeling throughout gameplay.

people would be asking where the breathing trainer would be at......and those people would be fed to the level 40 named rats......

CAD reference?

The problem with 'Real Life' is that it requires perfect AI, and that isn't going to happen.

Of course, you wouldn't recall anything you did with your friends sister if you reloaded, so it wouldn't actually matter.
