[QUOTE]Video games have been blamed for everything from encouraging violent behaviour to making us more antisocial.
And now, one expert has claimed that ultra-realistic games played using virtual reality headsets could kill people.
Denny Unger believes that the technology is so immersive that the first incidence of someone being scared to death, is not far away.
Mr Unger, creative director at Cloudhead Games warned a virtual reality panel in Seattle that ‘we’re very close to having the first death in VR’
He said: ‘When the commercial version comes out, somebody is going to scare somebody to death - somebody with a heart condition or something like that. It is going to happen. Absolutely.’

no its funny
People with heart conditions are generally not advised to play those type of games, whether or not its VR.
To be honest, if you went by Daily Mail logic everything will kill you.

Looks like that's the end of VR as we know it folks!
More realism added to FPS games, why would you complain?

At least I could die doing what I love best.
The people that survive the violence caused by games will be killed by the immersion

But that won't be a good clickbait nor will it scare anyone!
I can see a game dev marketing this similar to how [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKkPFDEiC6Q]Dead Space 2[/url] was marketed.
"video games kill people!1!!!!1!11!1"
Well I mean they're technically not wrong, but you could get a heart attack from your lame nephew jumping out from around a corner, what's this supposed to suggest v:v:v
I knew this would be the daily mail from the title..
-.-'
When you don't have anything to report, make something up.
If you die in the CyberWorld... Your real self dies as well!
Can we please add Dailymail and RT on the do-not-post as a source list already? They conjure nothing but stupid shit.
Hahahahahaha How the Fuck Is Virtual Reality Going to Kill You Hahahaha Nigga Just Take Off The Rift Like Nigga Close Your Eyes Haha
I jump when I get one-tapped in Counter-Strike
according to dailymail if I played VR CS I would be [highlight]dead[/highlight]
let's test this theory quick someone give me a rift thanks
It should genuinely be a rule to include "dailymail" in the title if the content originates from there.
