And by "PS3 backpack," I don't mean some fashionable branded bag, I mean an actual backpack, hooked up to a PS3 and battery.
In some kind of promotional stunt that wasn't expressly for Sony but rather EPSON, a stuntman was saddled with this ridiculous harness mounted with an EPSON HD office projector-thing, then sent out into the world to play what looks like Need for Speed SHIFT while projecting the images on ceilings, building sides, inside wind tunnels and in nightclubs. Um, yeah, so that's a thing that happened, which you can watch a video of below.
Congrats, EPSON (and EA and Sony), you got the publicity you needed from us. That said, I'd have preferred he play different games.
Since EA helped sponsor the stunt I suppose it wasn't possible, but it would have been hilarious if the guy had gone around playing Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" level, projected onto a huge wall out in public.
Which EA-published PS3-present games would you have liked to see the stuntman play? My vote's in for the love scenes from Dragon Age, honorable mention for Mirror's Edge. The latter would look great at night, projected onto a floor, while the former would just look kind of awkward.
This man is my new hero. It takes a special kind of nerd to be able to not only create an outfit like that, but actually walk around in it and have pictures taken takes big round clunkers.
Wouldn't be too embarrassing - it's obvious that it's a stunt with all the cameras following him around, and it's an impressive projector that's for sure.
However, I would feel very nervous walking around at night with all that expensive equipment attached to your body. It's like a giant "Rob Me" sign. He must have had security following him.
@mistic Well seeing as DI actually promotes the christian idea of Hell (Which isnt even in the friggen bible, the book Dante wrote is what christians adapted as their hell) that might actually be a good idea lol

I wanna see him play Heavy Rain to see what he would REALLY do in those situations.
A professional *what*? He's probably the intern that drew the short straw...

Honestly, this is just more fuel for my wife to use to make fun of my video gaming habit/hobby.
Yes.
Clunky?
Most assuredly.
Fascinating in concept?
Absolutely.
Does The Orange Box count?
