SWORD ART ONLINE is one of the most (in)famous anime out there today, and its premise is cooler than most whole shows. SAO is a fully immersive VR MMO—so immersive that people in the game can LITERALLY die from playing it. Needless to say, this sort of VR experience doesn’t exist yet, but we’re definitely creating the groundwork that will lead to this tech. But knowing how much our current VR systems cost, is a game like SAO even feasible for developers? How much would it cost to create something as ambitious as this? Well, Loyal Theorists, the answer is SO MUCH MORE than you expect!

I believe when Kawahara wrote the first SAO as a short story in 2001, he though the technology by 2022 would be far more advanced. For example, the beds at the hospital were so advanced that they could stimulate muscle movement to prevent muscle atrophy.

SAO is that one game where a slow internet or a PC can cost your life
