    so damn elaborate when what they needed was a karting track with some nice backgrounds, some applied weapons and a bad guy in a suit driving among the other racers.
    it feels like vr and ar is used as a mechanism to cheap out on many things. i never understood those rollercoasters that dont move at all but just shake the chair while youre watching at a screen.
