So... KFC apparently made a Virtual Reality training game for it's new employees. Totally rip off of Bioshock, cause WTF. Totally creepy. Click the link to see the nightmare video in full. lol

Lock me in a virtual cage if old. I wasn't really sure if this should go in OT or Gaming though. lol

[shira]

That's pretty cool

 

[yuoke]

Seems more like "generic simulator indie game". Don't compare this to a masterpiece of a game.

 

[Struct09]

That is amazing

 

[Brinbe]

Cool... and extremely bizarre. At least some people over at KFC have a good sense of humor.

 

[snap]

was expecting it to be played completely straight like Bioshock was. instead it's very tongue in cheek.

 

[RedAssedApe]

screenshot makes you look like you're frying a turd lol

The part about them needed a human touch is gonna back fire so bard in the next 50 years.

I am Colonel Sanders, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to fantastic fried chicken? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'Fried chicken is for the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'Fried chicken belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'Fried chicken is not fit for anyone!' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Kentucky Fried Chicken, a nation-wide chain restaurant where the resident saucier would not fear the censor, where the chicken farmers would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat our brow, Kentucky Fried Chicken can become your number one choice of fast food restaurant as well.

 

[O Canada Our Home and Native Land]

Toss it on steam and charge for it.

 

[Razorback]

An obvious reference doesn't make something a clone.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Surgeon simulator or Bioshock?

 

[cirrhosis]

I don't see at all what makes it a clone
Too clickbaity op

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

inb4 it's actually a german chicken restaurant sim.

 

[Dyle]

Well now that I know how to make KFC, I'll never have to actually eat there. Thanks Colonel, please tell the guys over at Coca-cola to make the same thing

whoa there hold your horses

 

[FirstBlood]

That sure seemed like a marketing piece that lives alongside their current commercial lineup as opposed to a real employee training program.

Yup. Sure does.

 

[Dark Ninja]

This actually looks really good and like actual effort was put into it.

ass

 

[Human_me]

The end looked like a cult video.

 

[droggg]

Best fast food related game since Sneak King?

 

[Starviper]

That's pretty awesome, actually. Though I doubt this will actually end up as part of training due to the cost of VR equipment // workstations.

As another poster said, this seems more like a marketing thing. I'd bet we'll see it on steam within a week.

 

[Nimajneb]

While it has some aesthetic similarities to Bioshock, I'd say it's more similar to Zero Escape or Saw. There are some elements of Portal in there too.

I'm amazed they put so much effort into a training game. When I worked in fast food, they just had a shitty flash game.

 

[Sub_Level]

No mention of chicken strips, sides, drinks, or even washing your hands.

Shit training program.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Hell of a lot funnier than I expected.

Solid first post

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

I thought for sure going through the doors was going to turn you into a piece of chicken waiting to be picked up and fried.

That's enough internet for today I think.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Solid first post

Fuck, didn't even catch that lol

 

[Baroquemantic]

That was actually kinda great. VR is awesome.

 

[sandalphon]

I wouldn't mind some fried chicken now...

 

[KevinRo]

Stupid title.

 

[gamerMan]

Whoa that should be released on PSVR? It will give me a reason to hook it up again.

 

[shiftplusone]

Don't worry, no one's doing that

 

[Waddle Dee]

A better Bioshock game than Infinite.

Also, the framed picture of a chicken is pretty amusing.

 

[grandjedi6]

So many employees are going to mess up the chicken now lol

But someone needs to make this a full game that goes to the logical (dark) extreme

 

[Hobbles]

No Community reference yet?

 

[SpaceWolf]

ass

If it's any consolation, I much prefer yours, haha.

 

[slightconfuse]

No God's or Kings only chicken

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Watched the demo.

Doesn't wash their hands between handling raw chicken and delivering the finished product.

Good training there

Almost forgot this became a meme when the game came out.

Nice work.

 

[LProtag]

This feels more like viral marketing as opposed to an actual training simulator that they're using.

 

[Busty]

The constantly coughing Colonel makes him sound like he's on his last legs and the next one to be quartered and stuck in the fryer.

How anyone at KFC corporate approved this is beyond me.

I'd agree if it wasn't such a nightmarish take on the brand.

KFC and various other brands aren't afraid of diving in the ridiculousness from time to time.

Remember the Hamburger Helper mixtape?

I still have two of the tracks on my phone lol

 

[siddx]

Toss it on steam and charge for it.

And make sure to say it's early access, that way you can justify a one hour experience with endless bugs while never actually finishing the game once you get everyone's money.
