    Hasbro, DMG Launching Virtual Reality ‘Transformers’ Centers In Shanghai
    I think it's the follow up to this report from last year: Transformers Attraction in China 2017

    If this leads to an exhibit like the Tron Cycle Run in Shanghai's Disneyland, you can bet I'll try my darndest to go someday

    Can't wait till it gets ported to Japan and Mega Empress rubs her bolts in my face.

    That's great! Looking forward to experiencing this! Sounds like a super extended VR update to Transformers The Ride which I absolutely love and been on multiple times.

    I... That's...

    Now, I know this is a typo, but this drastically changes the meaning of the joke.



    Wondering, does Japan have VR stuff like... that already? for <research purposes>

    Excellent, I no longer need any more social interaction. Farewell, sir.

    jk jk but that's tamer than I thought. Would be kind of interesting to see that in person.

    Part of me wonders if there is a "special time" where it will say certain things to you.

    Anywho though. I doubt this will ever reach the US, and if it does it will most likely only be at 1 place forever before closing down.

    Yeah, most "anime" styled stuff doesn't tend to be big over here. Fine with me, I'd rather go to this TF VR Experience thing anyway.

    Don't blame Japan as a whole for this, it's for people who don't have anything else.

    I don't know. The articles at Deadline and Variety weren't really forthcoming with the information. The picture comes from DMG so that may be a clue :)

    This has some massive promise. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves and what they eventually do with home markets as the tech progresses.

    Isn't there rising disinterest in dating and sex in Japan?

    Yes there is unfortunetly, but my point was not to judge the whole of the Japanese people for a single product made, it's not just.
