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 😅😂😍

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.

Congratulations, you have fully realized Kojimas dream

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.

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.

now here is an idea, imagine if the tilt function of the treadmill could correspond with the angle of the mountains

When you realize death stranding is about a futuristic mail man who gives people the wifi password

I love how every ounce of the description of death stranding sounds pants shittingly insane and completely accurate to the game.

Speedrunning just took on a whole new and more literal meaning.

I would like to see a speedrunner do a speedrun.

You can't break your New Year's resolution if you never make one. Big Brain.

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?

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.

*"I am walking, I am walking in real life and in the game."* 5 seconds later, horrendous accident ingame that would have paralyzed an average person. LoL

If this was required for any game, gamer population would either drastically decrease, or we'd have thighs thicc enough to choke an elephant

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.

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?

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.

Now we can feel the pain of making our gta character run across the airport

Now you only need to connect a vr headset^^

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

“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'd love to see what this would look like of he added some kind of button to the bars so that you can stabilize yourself with your hands and press the buttons.

Now i wanna see a livestream of someone actually playing through this game like this... :D

Imagine playing like this in Outlast while being chased

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!

4:50 Wait a minute, Michael mentioned that Allen stole his shirts during a party. Is that Offline TV shirt one of those stolen shirts?

I wanna be the first one to say: *This guy just invented realistic VR equipment*

6:46 man delivering a pizza falls down a mountain for a solid 10 seconds, 2020, colorized

I appreciate your editing. This is a great video. ❤️

12:06 you gotta avoid the ghosts 12:24 William: i aM SpeED

The pure joy he had when he started to run,I love Jabril.

“Nice torture device.” Fun fact: the treadmill was actually intended to be a torture device where prisoners mill grain by stepping on a wheel endlessly, hence the name of treadmill.

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.

I love how there’s just a group of dumb science KZfaqrs all just living together and none of them acknowledge it

If you do this for a year, you'll probably be as godly as one punch man.

Have Michael hook up a shock vest for when you fall or get damaged. Just his sort of shtick.

Seeing Jabrils on an Allen Pan video while wearing a Coding Train shirt is the best freakin crossover ever

Love this! I was laughing with you when you were on the treadmill. And you are walking making the character walk. You should really patent This!!! Il buy it

That's impressive considering you were fighting the motor brake the whole time lol!

A strand type exercise

I love death stranding, can't explain why, anything that mixes good story and good lighting always gets me

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!

Man accidentally discovered resistance training

I need the uncut version of his Death Stranding rant.

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!

Loved the Jabrils feature! You should have him on more!

Allen just play Ring Fit Adventure like everyone else

Mad props on the design great new controller

SUPER SUPER project.. this a real interactive and energy consumption system of gaming ... LIKED so MUCH

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)!!!!!

7:42 *uncontrollable laughter* "This is so stupid!" Whatever it is I love it.

It's just so precious how much fun he's having with it.

this awesome. something to anticipate in the near future

Since i am a huge death stranding fan this has to be the best DS content I've seen so far, now I want full playtrough🤣🤣🤣

Imagine putting a VR headset on during this

Nintendo: makes a game about working out This guy: "doesn't own a switch" I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move

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.

I NEED this in my life. I've been thinking of getting one of those standing desks for my gaming pc and some sort of compact treadmill to put beneath so I don't feel like such a LUMP sometimes....lol

"He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer f**king will"

"obsessed with the game" "played 50hours". Our definition on the word obsess, when it comes to games, is definetly not the same.

11:03 i think that those ladders were from one of Croatias KZfaqrs. This was a very good video, really enjoyed it!

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

Me : Looking for a Tredmill for years Alien Pan: Finds one randomly in the street Me: Wat

"Yeah!! I'm running and he's running! We're running together!! Yeeeaahh!! This is so stupid!" Lol!

This is great! i have been meaning to build something like this for ages but i kinda know i'll just stop playing videogames with it once i do.

man this youtube channel is awesome!

How electrical engineering students use their degree. My parents: ur degree will give u a futrue. These guys: .... 😂

"I once watched this guy build an airplane that dumps water on Jesus fires." - Allen Pan 2020

😂omg guys, you're hilarious, I've laughed my head off)) Looking forward to ideas how to add a jumping and kicking option to fight the mules))

This could be so revolutionary for the VR area of gaming kinda like in ready player one, super cool man

10:14 "cuz you have to walk to walk" Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes

Learns how to walk in the game, almost got Norman Reedus killed.

What a fascinating time capsule

Your humor is so unrivaled 😆🤟

this is honestly genius and we should all have something like this in our homes...

Me: *makes this thing* Me after Completing the game: *T H I C C L E G S*

The way you explained what death stranding is was gold.

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 imagine removing it’s resistance, or using an elliptic would function better, since it looks like you have to push in order to move

6:38 Allen: WOOOO IM DOING IT YEAH *proceeds to fall 70 feet down a mountain*

I actually love this and would totally play this.

I worked as a courier for some time and I love this game, I´m a marathonist too so I wished I could actually play the whole game like this...

Omfg, I love how Allen has little touches. After he finds out Micheal doesn't live with them anymore, he's wearing a "Loading... OfflineTV" shirt. GOLD

As a wise man once said: *I'M WALKIN' HERE!! I'M WALKIN' HERE!!*

Hahahahaha fitness and getting in shape resolutions for January 1st 2020 Right up there with going outside more and attending more social functions!

Why do I feel like all my favorites KZfaqrs live in the same neighborhood haha

"Airplane Rain Man" Yis.

3:59 the mouse pads strapped to the wall😂😂😂

I’d like to see the buttons reworked to be part of the treadmill. The balance buttons on the side like a pinball cabinet or something

Damn this is creative broo👏🏾👏🏾

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.

Nintendo Wii Fit: I can make you fit Allen: Hold my Beer Nintendo Wii fit left the chat

You can even take real therdmill and paint a patch white paint on it and use ir sensor to calculate running sppen thus making the controller connected to aurdino via Bluetooth

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.

“It’s like, if, Breath of the Wild had a baby with Neon Genesis Evangelion...” Me who was playing Breath of the Wild whilst watching Evangelion earlier before finding this video. “what”

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

January 2020 feels like a the calm before the storm, it’s super eerie

I Would love to see this, but the treadmill works, and the speed control is based on how fast the character in the game is moving (so how far pressed the joystick is), and would be amazing if it was calibrated to roughly the same speed as the game character.
