Youtuber Allen Pan manages to connect the DualShock 4 to a treadmill to achieve the ultimate experience playing the new Hideo Kojima.
Death Stranding, the new video game by Hideo Kojima starring, among others, by Norman Reedus, bases much of his gameplay on very long walks on foot while his alter ego, the suffered Sam Porter Bridges, tries to safeguard the load against all kinds of dangers Therefore, youtuber Allen Page has decided to take the title immersion further so that we can feel like Sam walking while we control the character.
The definitive walking simulator
Thus, said user has managed to connect the typical gym treadmill to a DualShock 4 PS4 controller so that the player can control Sam while walking; but the really surprising thing is that when walking, the protagonist of the videogame will also do it. Of course, for the rest of the movements and functions it is necessary to have the control pad in your hands.
Even, youtuber is allowed to improve the experience by carrying backpacks of different weight to try to assimilate what happens on the screen and “suffer” Sam's effort while walking through the inhospitable places of Death Stranding. Of course, the idea is as surprising as it is interesting and gives rise to new interactions with the videogames themselves and the increasingly present virtual reality.
