If you’re a glutton for punishment or would like to make gaming a little bit more realistic then the Force Feedback gaming vest from TNGames is definitely for you. This PC based accessory is meant to make you feel like your actually being shot at. Who wouldn’t want that?
The vest is attached to your PC and an air compressor. It simulates bullet wounds and other contact by utilizing the compressor to give you a jolt. The pressure depends on what hit you. Melee, bullets, and explosions all have different degrees of pressure, so you won’t confuse someone hitting you with the butt of their gun for your team mate dropping their grenade in the spawn area.
The vest will run you $169 and only works with 10 different games. TNGames offers an SDK for the Force Feedback gaming vest so new publishers and modders can add compatibility as they see fit. I’m not sure how well this gadget will catch one though. That’s kind of a steep price just to feel bullets hit my flabby gut as I lose over and over again in Unreal Tournament 3.

- Unreal Tournament 3
