  I don’t want to agree because I like biking, but damn if “literally speed run” isn’t clever.

    Let’s make gamers get fit if they want high score. Only thing I seen that comes close to that is like the rhythm dancing games. I’ve seen some of the people REALLY into those and wow do they have muscles and are fit.

      There’s also this (GTA V mod that lets you connect an indoor cycling setup to ride a bike in the game): www.gtbikev.com

    Now I wanna see a Super Mario literal run with jumping off the treadmill being jumps in game.

  Allen Pan did that with Death Stranding.

  But you don’t really control a treadmill - it sets a pace and you follow. It’s not like you can run faster and it will keep up, it’s the other way around.

    There exist treadmills that use a solely human powered belt.

      The inertia would be tricky, but maybe with some sensors and strong motors it could be done.

    Yeah but you modify the treadmill to work like that. I’m just picturing like a gym of gamers all competing in some race like across the ocean of subnautica. Faster you run, faster you swim, can you reach the goal the fastest?
