Super Fruit Ninja on Vision Pro Lets Gamers Chop Fruit With Hand Gestures

[Rychiar]

Give me an announcement of resident evil 4 remake VR and I’ll be happy.

I personally don’t like AR like the point for me to wear any of these helmets (I own a Quest 3) is to actually escape „reality“ aka my apartment, I don’t want to look at it while I am gaming too 😅 I prefer VR games, where you can completely disappear to a rooftop in Barcelona for example and watch an half hour episode of The Bear while it’s actually depressing winter season outside.

As soon as it says „AR“ I don’t buy it. Reminds me of Pokémon Go, which everyone played, but no one bothered with AR mode

So you “escape” to a virtual Barcelona rooftop just to watch a half hour of Chicago restaurant workers screaming at each other? Whatever floats your boat….

so this means people will be knocking over lamps and crap in their living room

Probably an $89.00 annual subscription to cut up imaginary fruit. Only way to get that back is posting a clandestine video of your grandparents trying it on YouTube.

Its part of Apple Arcade, so no IAP.

Good for training prior to going grocery shopping?

I gotta say, this is probably one of the best ideas they had.

 

[Plutonius]

This game sounds like a great reason to invest thousands into buying a Vision Pro .

Yep like a lot of people that appreciate this award sweeping show ☺️

Also, this was obviously just a random example of VR that came to my mind in the heat of the moment

Apple are putting out basically a beta device for developers to find new use cases

Developers...

Groundbreaking. Peak of our civilization. People can now sit at home with this stupid thing on their head and chop fruits in a stupid game. As if playing these kind of time wasting games on iPads and iPhones wasn’t stupid enough.

 

[dgeviper]

Ohhhhhh! So that's what the $3,500 get's you! Makes sense.

 

[WestonHarvey1]

If you're interested in stuff like this you're probably better off with a Quest 3 for the money.

 

[rhaezorblue]

"Honey, what is this $3,700 charge on the credit card???" "Oh, uh.. hardware I needed to play Fruit Ninja." ... lol

 

[NT1440]

Funny, after the AVP reveal this forums was awash in VR fans saying experiences like this simply weren’t going to be possible…

Now it’s already cliche that of course this was going to be released, jokes about how it’s an old game, etc.

 

[macduke]

I'm curious what non-Apple Arcade games are going to cost on the Vision Pro. My guess is they are going to be pretty expensive when you consider the people buying this $3500 scuba mask.

We have arrived...well...those of us that can afford it.
This will turn into a Severance thing where we'll be cutting up fruit, but we'll really be making Soylent Green.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Sounds like it could be a good exercise app.

 

[JohnRckr]

3.500$ ladies and gentlemen. Don’t eat your fruit and veggies, just chop it in VR

 

[Kylo83]

So for £3500 all we get is basic Apple Arcade bad graphics games on a high end m2 device, how is the quest 3 which is way under powered have games that graphical are amazing for gaming, Apple just doesn’t get it. This headset will fail trust me

 

[deadspider187]

You could buy a gaming PC, a VR set, and a M3 MacBook Pro, and still have money leftover, instead of this. It should either 1) be cheaper, or 2) have an M3 Pro and 32GB RAM. Either of these might make it a more viable product for mass appeal.

EDIT: Heck, can probably even throw in a brand new PS5 too.
EDIT 2: And maybe a cheap 4k TV as well!

 

[iLuddite]

I’m speechless, and not in a good way

 

[jdoyle]

Definitely worth $3500USD

If you think that's stupid, try to imagine people sitting at home wasting their time whining on a web forum about what other people might choose to do with their time.

I am waiting for the killer app or use case that really makes the device shine. Apple is usually late to the party, but they execute well. They are late to VR and I am hoping they execute well so we see some expansion of what’s possible.

Right now. It looks wildly overpriced and underwhelming.

Maybe Gen 2 or 3 will showcase it though.

Remember Apple Watch Series 0. No one knew what the thing would end up doing (Apple seemed lost too). But by Series 3 it was clearly a fitness and health device. I feel the same will play out here.
