Well Norman Reedus and Hideo Kojima both tweeted links to this video so I'm gonna officially retcon at 1:55 to say it's objectively not a good game...because it is objectively a GREAT game 😅😂😍
I got to the video the minute you pinned this lol
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The gods are now pleased
@zay hi the shade
😂 😂
Congratulations, you have fully realized Kojimas dream
I will finish what he started
Good one, Kojimbo
I can die happy now
@Bluebird Boring?
Eh, subjective.
The beautiful thing about this invention is it will either increase his exercise or decrease his play-time of Death Stranding. And both are positive for his health.
A perfect win-win scenario!
@@allenpan when you only said 50-60 hours i felt worse about the 1600 i have in rocket league... and 1000 in csgo...

theoretically you could add more magnets to that detector, dial the speed up a little and it'll be far more responsive with starting/stopping. Because it'll reduce the detection delay from an entire rotation.
Hello from 1 year later XD. He didn't end up using that magnet detector since he didn't find his programing buddy. He simply connected the motor on the treadmill to a relay, and the relay is hardwired to the PS controller.
you sound smart lol
I love how every ounce of the description of death stranding sounds pants shittingly insane and completely accurate to the game.
This is so true lol
That's how I felt about Metal Gear story until I actually read into it. Then almost all story pieces and between-the-lines commentary fell into place and Kojima is a genius 😄
now here is an idea, imagine if the tilt function of the treadmill could correspond with the angle of the mountains
Plus vr headset

They would be a speedrunner
A new E-Olympic game .
This could actually be good for real fun/exercise if there wasn't so much resistance to walk. A manual treadmill would've worked much better.
Just what I came to say!.
I would have preferred more weight in the bag than so much resistance.
Maybe instead of wiring the treadmill to control the joystick, it would've been better to use the joystick like normal but it would change the speed and direction of the treadmill.
So... maybe something with the omni vr treadmill?
Speedrunning just took on a whole new and more literal meaning.
As does the walking simulator

@SπdR not technically a new year's resolution without declaring it.
My resolution was to breath. I’ve had this resolution for about 13 years now
This is awesome! Here's a few small ideas for tweaking this setup:
Secondary shoulder buttons installed in the form of grips, which are installed in your backpack to stimulate holding the packages for balance.
Downward- Pulling strap that can be adjusted based on how much weight Sam has on his back. The heavier the load, the more pressure is pulled down to stimulate the weight you're carrying in- game.
A waist guard that keeps you standing up to some degree for safety.
Shoulder-controlled turning system. When you turn your shoulders about 15 or so degrees left or right, it activates the camera directions by a small threshold, or 25 for a larger one. Adjustable, of course, for comfort.
Action buttons connected to the treadmill, itself, rather than using the controller. Maybe even fashioned to resemble an arcade machine?

Well you see, thats why they used Norman Reedus as the main player.... cause he's not average.

i think a better control scheme would be a relay between the battery and controller.
when W falls under a certain level, the controller turns off
Hey if you ever want to revisit this, i think a better approach would be to leave the lft stick and pressing it forward makes the character move like normal HOWEVER it also causes the treadmilll to move, and sprinting causes it to move faster.
“How do i turn this on”. “I have a degree in electrical engineering”.
Considering a lot of the late-game emotional impact of Death Stranding comes from how far you’ve come to get there, a treadmill sounds like a good way to make me bawl like a baby by the final scene.
I appreciate your editing. This is a great video. ❤️
Damn, this has a lot of potentials. With a proper Arduino and some investigations I see so many things that would make the experience much more enjoyable:
- buttons and joysticks moved to the side rails, for easier access
- a proper reading of the treadmill speed to properly simulate stuff, instead of having thresholds
- ideally, have the slope of the treadmill linked to the slope of the terrain (probably need a camera to read that, if it's written anywhere on the screen)
- change the resistance of the treadmill based on the weight of the package you are carrying.
That would be so great.
The pure joy he had when he started to run,I love Jabril.

I don’t, but I do love your profile picture.

Imagine if gyms incorporated this technology into their equipment, imagine all the nerds that would be in there screaming and yelling like the ones in the video.
death stranding gym edition with save game import, sign me the fuck up
Nintendo kinda made this several times)
@@BestHakase Nah, they only made stuff for upper body, which most VR have now. Their Wii Fit board barely counts cause you can just repeatedly lean left and right to simulate walking, but its not gonna make you burn that much calories.
This treadmill will combine well with VR tho. Its like that omni directional device to simualte 360 degrees of movement so you can walk anywhere.
Edit: fixed spelling.
Then nerds won't be nerds
Idk. Nerds could barely handle the wii. They would cancel their memberships in 15 minutes.
I think that's my zip line at 8:07 when I was playing the game I did whatever I could to put ziplines at every delivery point I rambert climbing the archway not too far back from where he is when he starts the game just so I could avoid the bt zone so if that is my stuff then I'm very happy that people are repairing these helpful ziplines I spent hours building! Keep on keeping on porters!
Have you considered a more old-school approach by simply having a variable voltage ie. walking fast or slow actuating a variable solenoid which then protrudes as you apply the voltage in varying amounts to push on a controller's paddle or as you slow down not push on it as much?
Now we can feel the pain of making our gta character run across the airport

This was so funny watching all the people trying to paly the game using the treadmill!! Yet again you made a funny cool video!! I think these videos are great and really important because i think you are inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists, coders or just plain computer or all things electronic enthusiasts!! So I really jsut wanted to leave you a comment on here telling you how good your videos are and how important they are!!! I truly think you are a great role model for the younger generations and just like how you grew up inspired by the myth buster i truly think kids will grow up inspired by the youtubers who are big into this kind of stuff!! SO THANK YOU MAN KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! Also its late here so sorry for rambling like crazy ( i hope i made sense LOL)!!!!!

@Eric parks
True.
This looks super awesome! If you add some turning controls onto the treadmill handles and reduce the resistance against the conveyer belt (so that people could spend more than 5 minutes on it) then it would be a real entertainment experience!
If you could somehow attach the l2 and r2 to pressure plates on the arm rails of the treadmill that would take this game to the next level!! You would also need to add the right joystick to one the arms for camera control. And probably ease the resistance of the treadmill so its not as punishing.
Have Michael hook up a shock vest for when you fall or get damaged. Just his sort of shtick.

@@riyu6140 death stranding
Mad props on the design great new controller
to improve this, you can either harness the bag to the ceiling or create a controller mount with arm rest/arm supporter at the front to lessen the balancing issues at staying up while running and holding the controller so you have more focus on the legs
I have similar project still on planning stage due to funds issue cause I need to commission a frame which can be strapped to the upper body and balance by being hanged on the ceiling and has a part that is directly mounted to a wired separated left analog stick so mine has less tension since I won't use a treadmill to move (so hard to explain but I hope you get what I mean), I'm so amazed you nailed the realism very much using the treadmill
you just literally made a legit vr 1(or 2?) direction controller, all you need now is a vr headset
It's just so precious how much fun he's having with it.
Yes! This is what makes fun FUN. Now need some sort of gyroscopic stickers on the arms for balance to take away the controller. Full body game on in real and in the game!
Jace Writes a full body tracker game would be cool but you need lots of real life space and obstacles and plastic swords to make it more realistic

Man, this is like this thing I always wanted to make that's a treadmill that goes along the x axis, MADE of much smaller treadmills that go along the y axis, and each axis has a tachometer. You get an omnidirectional treadmill that outputs x and y direction and magnitude! It should be able to straight-up replace the analog stick on a controller!

Hopefully you or one of your programmer friends revisit this project in the future with a better / omnidirectional treadmill for improved steering and speed control! Being able to do all of the walking, jogging and sprinting speeds would be the perfect experience. This game is all about the journey of reconnecting the country, and it's really interesting to see how people struggle with coordinating things like running and handling the controller at the same time. There are so many situations in the game where you have to push through things like water, tar, and snow, where the resistance of a treadmill would suddenly go right up, as well as changes to the incline when climbing or descending.
The next challenge is finding a weighted package controller that sits on your back, and it pushes you around if you lose balance.
I thought it was pretty mean to actually make them drink monster energy in real life though, that stuff is nasty.
I just keep coming back to this video. It's so funny.
IDEAS!
1. Integrate the controller into the backpack. So to balance you actually grab the straps. No idea what to do with the other buttons.
2. The straps that hold you in place should pull to the left or the right to mimic the imbalance in game. Obviously it needs to be live so as it happens to Norman it happens to you. (I don't even think this is possible but would be so cool. Well cool to me.)

I actually love this and would totally play this.
I motivated myself and started exercising by playing a game called “sale hunting.” It’s only viable to play this game if you live in an area where there are a lot of garage sales/front lawn sales. I go on a run and bring a backpack to try and find as much stuff that I can take from a garage sale/front lawns as possible. So far I’ve gotten:
- 4 scarves
- 2 Kathmandu jackets
- 1 backpack
- 1 blanket
- 1 knitting set
- 2 Xbox One S Controllers
- 2 Stools
And that’s it. Looking forward to getting more stuff.
that is my top of the list favorite game and I would love to have a treadmill controller for this game. cuz i am sure in a week time I will be toned like an athlete for the amount i spend on this game daily walking hahaha. what we need is a treadmill that is very easy to walk, run (not like yours as you have to use too much power to push it) something that does not have that much friction. and that the friction is generated by a motor or something to treadmill whenever the character climbs up to simulate strenuous efforts on our side. I wish these type of controllers will start showing up soon and we can play our fav games for hours and stay fit too
first
They likely will with PS5, which is supposed to have haptic feedback
Yeah, like a treadmill that's powered by humans on rollers. I know some gyms have those. If this game had buttons on the handles for X, O and Triangle, it'd be perfect.
I wish he took out the motor of the treadmill that way there would be less resistance to run or walk. I know what it feels like to run on a broken treadmill and I can say it's not fun
look up vr 360 treadmills, basically the perfect thing for that

Interesting addition: If you put triggers on the left/right side (possibly the hand contacts for the heart meter?) for the balancing shoulder buttons. So it's putting your hands down and taking them off to balance.
Even better, maybe accelerometers in the backpack that control the balance
Even better triggers on the side for left right along with buttons for x triangle etc accelerometers in the backpack for balance and vr headset to change camera
6:38 Allen: WOOOO IM DOING IT YEAH *proceeds to fall 70 feet down a mountain*
You could have made it so when you press forward on the analog stick it increases the speed of the treadmill so you are forced to run if you want your character to run. This would also be good because you would have more control over the game.
the motor was dead tho, that’s why he has to put so much effort into walking - he’s literally powering the treadmill himself
could you share the circuit diagram or schematics, would love to try this
