Okay, how realistic is this "experience"?

[Bud]

I am asking as you can't possibly be climbing up the mountain, you also don't have to worry about frostbite or death from exposure or death from Pulmonary Odema from being so high up but how realistic does this program go. Are all the terrain features accurate and if so, how much?

Also, and this will be a selling point for me even into the VR ideology within the year even. What about the horrible things that have happened like a massive, sudden storm or even seeing the dead bodies at the top like at "Rainbow Ridge"?

I am not a morbid person but I have done research on Mt Everest in the past, would I be able to see the "Green Boots" cave and be able to use it as a landmark as the climbers do toward the Summit of the mountain?

maybe they will let you sledge from the top

You could see GB on God Mode but when your climbing unless they add a north col route you wont pass by him

[Bud]

Okay, so if you don't see him...I would be okay with that but what about any of the other who died. I know I am sounding morbid and I truly aren't a morbid person but I was told that there were over 20 dead toward the top with about 180 that have fallen down into a cavern to never be seen again.

I am pretty sure that you won't see those who have fallen down a hole in the game but I was wondering about the "Rainbow Ridge" or any of the other spots where people have died? I'm also, more trying to check how realistic the "game" is before buying it and this is a major selling point to prove how realistic it is is all.

We opted to not include dead bodies as part of the first person experiences. We do plan internally to have more historical materialin the God Mode experience, but we haven't announced when that would be nor what the final content would be.

Fair enough. I looked at just how demanding it will be to even use the "VR" components on your PC and due to finances, I won't be able to upgrade my PC and buy the VR equipment for at least a year anyways. But, I will gladly buy the game when I can...to see the dead bodies were mostly to see how realistic the game is though and without so much of a headpost stating that "X person died here" as they do have on the real Everest is a disappointment though.

But yeah, I will buy the game later on but please understand that if the sales are lower than expected, they will most likely climb later on when people like myself buy the hardware necessary to even be able to run the game and had to wait to buy the equipment when the equipment cost aren't so prohibitively expensive in the future.

instead of dead bodies how about once you finish your climb you have two modes: God Mode and Basecamp mode where at you can tour it and visit memorials for famouse climbers like Rob Hall, Scott Fisher and Andy Harris

Oh, I already was plan on buying the game. I just cannot afford the upgrades to allow VR just yet. I am sporting a 3.2 Athlon chip and I just have a Geforce 730 gfx card. I have two children and they are my biggest priority but I figure within a year, I will upgrade and when that comes in, I will gladly buy your game.

Sucks about the lack of dead though, my wife would have enjoyed it as well as we have talked about the "dead" on Mt Everest after we saw the online video below. You can see the video here https://youtu.be/7OnnX9-587o

Okay, I would have liked to see the "Rainbow Valley" out of utter curiousity and all though.

But to finish this though. Even if I didn't have MS and had both the lack of a desire to "live', kids, a death wish, and an utter stupidity to try to do a completely unnecessary climb for real...all it takes is to truly watch a video like the site below to flat out decide that to risk your life for something that is rather pointless just to prove your "manhood" is utterly stupid.

But to play a game of it though would truly be nice and I am rather excited to play it next year. But to finish though, take a really good look at the video below and answer, is climbing an "already trampled to death tourist attraction" mountain truly worth the effort to risk your life on for real.

Maybe if I were the first or even first hundred people but around 200+ people pay between 20,000-$150,000 for just the opportunity to "prove your manhood"...somethings are better off in a game.

Dancai, that´s precisely the kind of things we are thinking for God Mode along with some other interaction modes. More on that later.

Yeah, it is a little bit dark but not as bad as you think though. It is better to think of the dead as Egyptian Mummies mostly as the dead are pretty much mummified. Sorta creepy in a few pictures but nothing to really gruesome.

The video set..."https://www.youtube.com/user/toptenznet" is both appropriate for everyone and extremely informative and entertaining...I highly suggest the daily videos and the Mt. Everest one was just an oddball one. But even the deaths on Mt. Everest one was more approprate than what other sites would do but I would at least listen to the audio...it is very informative and worth at least a hear.

what are the climbers they mention?

[Bud]

If you watched almost any of the videos or listen to the commentary of those who died on Everest, this one pretty much covered the ones who didn't fall down a hole basically.
