The Ultimate Game Chair
Just how many ways are there to make your product sound better than “The Ultimate Game Chair“? Well, apparently that just about takes the cake, thanks to a Capcom-branded Reactor Video Game Chair. Ultimate Game Chair is not a piece of furniture actually - it is but the first and only game chair company to have a formal licensing agreement with Capcom, and it would be pretty interesting to see how things shape up from here. Head on after the jump for further context.
With eight high-impact vibrating motors and 3D-stereo sound, the Reactor delivers a full-body sensory experience that amplifies game play on Capcom’s hottest titles “Street Fighter,” “Devil May Cry,” “Resident Evil,” and “MotoGP,” among others. The new Capcom Reactor game chair by Ultimate Game Chair will be available to Capcom’s 50 million fans worldwide later this year when its most anticipated releases hit retail. The Capcom Reator Game Chair will be marketed via Capcom’s in-game bundles and online marketing promotions for $179.99, plus shipping.
Well, would you fork out $179.99 for the chair itself along with in-game bundles from Capcom? I know that any self-respecting hard core gamer would, since it is the experience that is worth paying for, and with the fact that the Reactor Game Chair is able to boost game play with full-impact body blows or subtle movements, playing those mentioned triple-A titles will never be the same again. It is compatible with just about any wireless controller, steering wheel or mix-and-match favorite game accessories. Of course, before you continue on with your wireless lifestyle, you must pick up Ultimate Game Chair’s wireless adapter separately for $49.99 a pop, while those who want to get their gaming fix in the middle of the night without waking up the rest of the household can always rely on a pair of headphones.

At 179.00 this is a great buy. However, I have just reviewed a similar chair, albeit 6 times its value, where the machine in the chair responds to the action and sound from your entertainment unit. Both products are available to purchase online. I would like to test the chairs before considering a purchase as the size is substantial and if not suitable then this would be difficult to hide under bed.

I really like this design but I’ve found with a lot of gaming chairs the quality is so lacking in them that they are simply not worth the money. The sound quality is normally terrible and I would rather invest the money in a good 5.1 surround sound system which will shake the chair far more than any motors ever could.

As far as I can tell these chairs are mainly for show and don’t really make the experience any better.

@Interior Ideas - that is true, but with my Ultimate Game Chair, I connect the game chair speakers to my 5.1 surround sound receiver. I split the rear left and right channel to the game chair. Playing horror first person shooter games are amazing - it’s like virtual reality and I can feel and hear the attackers before I see them.

I have a Renegade Game Chair and it’s awesome! However, I think the Reactor is a different model than the game chair pictured. I love the Renegade, especially with Streetfighter and Resident Evil. I can feel each hit and the game audio in the headrest speakers makes me feel like I am in the game.
