If I could rate this place higher I would! Since going to Zero Latency about a month ago I haven't been able to stop myself from weaving their name and my experience into any conversation I have.
Zero Latency is a gaming experience that allows a player to fully submerge themselves into the gaming environment. Zero Latency is essentially zero lag time so as you move and turn, so does the gaming world around you.
It was a pretty cool experience that lasted for about an hour. Spots are hard come by as there is only one warehouse space that accommodates only up to 6 players at any given time.
When we arrived we were introduced to our host who went through all the rules, safety information and how to wear all the gear that creates this experience. He explained what we would see (or not see) as we moved through the transition between different levels so we would know what to expect and periodically would pause the game if one of the players were getting too close to each other.
I don't want to ruin the actual game itself, but the first few steps you take once you have your pack on and your head gear in place is a bit weird and the graphics reminded me of old arcade games (I actually love that style so it was great). Even though the graphics may not compare to the realistic feel that most games have these days, once you started and got into the game it didn't matter.
Something I enjoyed seeing was looking at my hands through the head gear and seeing myself as video game character, but even funnier was seeing my friends as video game characters.
If you think you will smash into another player or the wall, fear not as the zero latency team has built in a virtual barricade within the game so you won't get too close to the wall and your gear has sensors that detect if you are too close to another player to avoid any collisions.
I would definitely go back, but maybe not for a little while. We spoke to the crew who were really interested in hearing our feedback to improve the experience for future players and they also said they are working on some new gaming experiences.
If you want to get up close and personal with a zombie, or prepare yourself for the zombie apocalypse, book a session. You won't regret it! read more
