Will simulated smells ever be a thing in video games

Will simulated smells ever be a thing in video games.
We already have Vision and Sound covered.
And i think touch is being worked on.
Taste has no game play advantages but smell could make games more immersive and give you an advantage in game play.
Like if in a stealth or horror game some silent enemies has a specific smell letting you know they are near.

What's this from?

>mfw can't smell

Kind of a gimmick, much like VR I can't see it being executed on a decent enough level with current technology.
Not OP, but its from Made in Abyss, you can read it on bato.to or zingbox.me.

Everything smells like ass anyways

What do vaginas smell like, Sup Forums?

they are sweet smelling, to lure you like a fly to a carnivorous plant.

salty milk and bags of coins

You mean like South Park did?

Fish

The devs of the southpark game had some kind of gimmick for the gamescom and shit where you had to put some mask on your face and every time your character farted that mask filled with a rotten disgusting smell. Was more of a marketing gag than actual game play element but it goes in the same direction

bnny

It's dry milk and salty coins you penis head

The problem would probably be getting rid of the smells quickly to make room for the next one most of all. (the only example i can remember was a cinema doing experimental stuff in the 50's that struggled with this)
It would also be a hassle to refuel perfumes. Say you are replaying it a bunch of years later, some of the smells will have dissipated or gone bad. Or if you are playing and you are out of a certain perfume because you were standing around one place for too long.

Depends who you’re smelling. A girl who takes care of herself? Sweet, like nothing else.

An autistic retard who doesn’t wash? Probably one of the most revolting smells on the planet, likely to put you off women for good.

"Made in abyss" or something stupid like that

Made in Abyss.

Basically Etrian Odyssey as an anime/manga.

>the majority of Made in Abyss fanart is just Nanachi

...

You have to be a Virgin to think the smell of normal women is something magical. I feel sad for your lonely soul

Not him but Wut?
Were did he said it was magical?

If it will become a thing, I will make a game with all kinds of horrible smells: poo, rotten eggs, semen etc., engulfing a player all at once. You may only quit the game by shutting down your console.

Fuck
Where*

Sniffshitters are so gross.

I'm glad he's getting the attention he deserves.

Just goes to show what most people like.

Zootopia isn't the 5th most successful (2th Disney only non pixar) animated film of all time for no reason.

Are there any games that let me play as a cute creature similar to Nanachi?

Nanachi is a girl bunny, sorry user.

It.

It used to be female.
And maybe still is but its defiantly not male.
Other than in some fan art.

>he doesn't know

>He didn't read the LN

Klonoa.

No, I was around when Sup Forums got some nip's impression from the 13th episode of the anime and he thought Nanachi was a boy. She was a girl before being turned into a bunny and is genderless now.

I see no issue here.
Does it even matter.
Tell me you still would not want to pet hug and sniff it.

Does she still have one whole left other than her mouth.

Duh, there's even art of her pooping.

It's going to need some sort of source for the smell, like liquids. This will probably limit the amount of smells you would experience, since there's millions of different kinds. Not to mention the possible cost of the aromas. No one will be willing to keep up with the maintainence for fucking smells

It can happen, it's just probably not worth it for the average consumer.

Not really.
Its all just impulses, one day you'll be able to shove an electrode on a stick up your nose and smell whatever you want.

Etrian Odyssey 5 let's you make rabbit chick characters, though they're less furry than Nanachi.

EO4 has a slightly furrier rabbit in the Bushi class though.

Id rather have a visual represetation of said mechanic, like a foggy yellowish colour or just a text notification [You just smell fi poopoo] or sth like that

Honestly the only way VR is ever gonna be worthwhile is if it was Matrix style where your brain handles all the stimulus and input and interprets the signals sent to whatever hardware you jack in to. That way you could have total sensory integration, direct 1:1 control of your avatar, basically replacing your normal sensory input with something virtual.

Won't happen though, the technology doesnt exist, and it'd be a legal, ethical and societal minefield

That would be the absolute endgame for gaming though.

I wouldn't fuck it but I can admit it's the cutest character in the series. I don't blame them

I can't wait to see nanachi's innards!

...

Reg sure is into furry girls.

I can't wait to see her puffy vagoogoo

I want to remove all of Nanachi's non essential limbs and organs!

>The game also shipped with a "CyberSniff 2000", a sheet of numbered scratch-and-sniff paper, corresponding to a number displayed on the screen at a certain location, so that the player can get a scent of what the area the player character is in smells like.

>direct 1:1 control of your avatar
That's completely retarded.
What kind of games could fat sweaty neckbeard that loses his breath after running 30 meters actually play that way?

Read about Vaqso, son, it'll come.

>bondage
>piss
>furry
>loli/shota
>traps
>torture
What other fetishes will the author inject in this? I'm starting to suspect he has a thing for bellybuttons.

>reg pulls down Nanachi's pants and there's a navel where her cunny should be
w-wew?

Not belly buttons, just nice bellies. I share this fetish so it's OK.

>2th

Like your mother can't wait for you to move out?
