Squall Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 When we see the show, we see people with facial expressions. How is that possible? I'm sure they don't type in commands for it and they only wear v.r. GOGGLES. I think the world has tapped into people more than anybody origionally thought.
Domou Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 I play a game called DarkAges, and in this game, there are similar facial expressions that are controlled by hotkeys. Though not as vibrant as the ones in The World it's still quite possible. But what you're saying is an interesting hypotheses, it could be that The World does control them on an emotional level.
Squall Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 I'm pretty sure the expressions arent controlled by hotkeys, 'cause they respond way to fast for that. I know its probably to make the show more fun but stil...
KKC Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 I always thought that somehow they could play with there mind because it seems to be the only possibilty of reacting to things so quickly, but Im probably wrong on this. I also thought that maybe they have a speeker they talk into that is linked to the game.
Squall Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 The speaker is a definate 'cause in ep. 19 Recollection, when (for those who haven't seen it, look away!) [spoiler] Subaru hugged Tsukasa and cried, she shure as heck wasn't typing in *sob**sob*[/spoiler] and also, I think with only seven episodes left in the entire series, I get the feeling that we'll find out
OtakuSennen Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Maybe the artists just did this to make the game seem more like a reality. Like, for real maybe the expressions aren't like that, but maybe because Tsukasa is in The World for real, maybe he sees true expressions somehow.. If he can feel pain and cold, maybe he can see other people's emotion..
Squall Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 it probably is something like that. but also, in .hack//mutation, it doesn't seem like they control their face expressions at all, like in the beginning when kite does the :-) at to blackrose and she reacts... wouldn't Kite usually just smile? and something else... blacck rose SAW the smiley, so it cant be voice program, come to think of it.
OtakuSennen Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Well, since none of them are trapped in The World in Mutation and Infection... Maybe they won't see such facial expressions... (Wait.. IS anyone trapped in The World in the games..? I don't have a PS2.. -_-)
Squall Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 well, I think Tsukasa got out by then (or died or...whatever) so the only thing trapped in the world I can think of is Aura, and I dont know if she's really even trapped.

[/quote] Well, I really don't think Aura is a real person.. A player character.. She's just AI, I think... So I don't think she's trapped, considering she never logged out, nor did she ever log in.

I mean, Crim took his shirt off for crying out load! Maybe there is a "Take off clothes" option. Thats weird. Not to mention, even though they dont really feel pain....... (except Tsukasa) They sometimes act like it. Like when Subaru got the crap beaten out of her. But, like everyone else. I really have no idea.
Squall Posted July 8, 2003 Author Posted July 8, 2003 Truthfully, before I knew that they only wore goggles I thought they had to use like gigantic VR boots or something.

[/quote] LOL I thought I was the only one who thought that.. 'Cause in the opening scene it shows them with the VR visors and they're walking around.. I thought that you walked around in real life as well because of that little 20 second bit..
Squall Posted July 8, 2003 Author Posted July 8, 2003 I must say that if they did walk around in real life, it'd really stink for people around them.
OtakuSennen Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 lol That's true... Player 1: Oh no!! A monster!! Player 2: Quick, use your heavy axe!! Player 1: ok! *swings around arms as if he had a sword* Little did they know they were in a fine China store. Player 2: *dodges by rolling, then into a wall of plates* Store owner: No no no!!
KKC Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 XD that would be odd. I always thought they would have this virtual little area where they would on. Or... something like that. Im not sure, I confuse my self sometimes. I still think that they have some kind of speeker that they talk into.
AzureWolf Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Do you know how boring the .hack anime would be if the character were acting exactly like characters in a game? I'm not much of a fan of watching someone else play a video game, so why would I want an anime about it? :haha: However, I believe Subaru fits into this category of "all-too real" in [I]The World[/I] with her tears. Facial expressions seem pretty commonplace for games and what-not, but actual tears... that's a different story. While not physically like Tsukasa, I believe Subaru's very much trapped in the game, and there is no longer a border between reality and game for her.
Squall Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 Your probably right but you know how much dothack enjoys going deeper with things.
Japan Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 It says somewhere that the voice is the world. The voice I think, controls, Tsukasa, and the girl Aura. Tsukasa as the tool, and keeping Aura asleep.
Radical Ed Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 first time i saw dothack it was sweet,but then i wondered how they did play it i mean i thought it was just a key board and there ya go,but now this is getting more confusing! Subaru crying and everything now it seems more like vertual reality ah this is confusing me,well anybody who finds out what it is pm me it will clear things up now i'll think of this all nite ah man.
Elk Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Besides if they did walk around they'd more than likly have to remodel their rooms alot and what if they knocked down their computer!:( And in infection their lips don't even move, so you really don't know what the feel unless you pay close attention!(which i really hate!):flaming:

True, the tears are a little overboard for a game, but I still believe Subaru hasn't been trapped in The World. [spoiler]Besides, again, I repeat, we saw the real world clip with Subaru IRL crying.. How can she be there if she is trapped in the game?[/spoiler]
AzureWolf Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 I never said Subaru was trapped physically. Read my post again.
OtakuSennen Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 :( Oh, sorry, Azurewolf. I confused myself with other posts I read on different threads. I just wanted to show people who think Subaru's trapped that they are incorrect in some ways... :( Gomen.
