PlayStation bids to bring smell-o-vision to life backfires as gamers say Sony ‘will lose money’

GAMING companies are often adding new features to their consoles in the hope of bringing more immersive experiences to gamers.

A number of hardware pieces have been released over the years in the name of immersion, and most notably, many companies believe that VR is the future of gaming.

However, VR doesn’t have a large install base like home and handheld consoles do, but there is still a large push for the medium.

PlayStation has revealed its next step in immersive gaming at tech event CES, but gamers seem divided on whether that’s something they actually want.

Sony’s Future Immersive Entertainment Concept was showcased during the event, with a piece of tech that covered a whole room.

The room featured Sony screens covering every wall, with a person playing The Last of Us at the centre.

Alongside Sony’s current technology, such as haptic feedback and dynamic audio, the kit also pumped smells into the room.

The trailer for the new technology explains: “This Future Immersive Entertainment Concept aims to explore these possibilities [for narrative immersion].

“This proof-of-concept project combines the latest location-based technologies, Sony Crystal LED panels, engaging audio, haptics, scent and atmospherics to fully immerse you into the world of the story.”

However, gamers are split in whether they are interested in the technology, particularly given the choice of game Sony showcased.

The Last of Us is set in a dystopian world where humans are struggling to survive against people infected with a deadly fungus.

One Twitter user writes: “My room smelling like sweat and gunpowder while I play Call of Duty.”

Another said, “I can’t think of a single game that will enhance my experience by smelling it.”

A gamer on Reddit was more straight to the point, saying: “Nobody wants this.

“Can we get actually good VR first before this weird niche that’ll lose Sony money.”

Aside from her £140,000 diamond engagement ring, Meghan rocked £70,000 worth of glitzy pieces.

First up was her Cartier Love Bangle stack, which is said to be a gift from Prince Harry worth around £7,050.

Next, we can see two tennis bracelets worth £2,500 and £4,500 each, followed by a Lorraine Schwartz evil eye diamond bracelet, which retails for £15,000.

One of the poignant items Meghan can be seen wearing is her £21,400 Cartier Tank Francaise watch that once belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana.

If this wasn’t enough, she also has a Cartier Juste un Clou necklace, which comes with a hefty £15,500 price tag.

She also can be seen wearing a £3,900 emerald choker and £1,600 zodiac ring.

One of the more affordable items Meghan is wearing is a pair of £200 knot earrings, and a jewellery set by Logan Hollowell.

Meghan’s new Netflix documentary trailer shows her cooking with Hollywood pals, including make-up artist and pal Daniel Martin, Suits actress Abigail Spencer, and The Office star Mindy Kaling.

There will be eight 33 minute episodes airing on January 15 showing her trying simple, yet “elevated”, food.

A montage of various clips in the nearly two minute video showed Meghan walking through vegetable patches and fields.

She was also filmed browsing through florists hand-selecting beautiful flowers for table arrangements, showing off her creative side.

The Duchess even tried her hand at beekeeping, fully suited up, as she collected honey.

In the glitzy new trailer, Meghan shared: “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.

“Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.

“I’m going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there. And how you incorporate these practices every day.

“This is about connecting with friends.. I love that we’re doing this together for the first time. Making new friends.. and just learning.

 “We’re not in the pursuit of perfection. We’re in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right.”

Prince Harry featured at the end of the video, embracing his wife in a warm hug.

The pair laughed as they sipped some mimosas.

The show description reads: “This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.

“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.

“She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.

“Guests include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends.”

Meghan’s new brand

The series is reportedly being made to complement her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

However, there has been little update on it, nor is there a release date in sight.

It comes as Meghan released a cryptic video welcoming in 2025 on her new Instagram page.

The mum-of-two publicly marked the New Year as a fresh beginning in her life – and even signified the coming year is going to be all about her, experts have said. 

In her first personal social media post for several years, 43-year-old Meghan ran towards the sea on a large beach before slowing down to a walk to write “2025” in the sand with her finger.

What has Meghan Markle teased from American Riviera Orchard so far?

MEGHAN Markle launched her brand's new Instagram page in March 2024, but no products are available to buy as of yet.

Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.

Meghan kicked off promoting American Riviera Orchard by sending 50 branded jams to friends and influencers.

Those who received a package included Chrissy Teigen, Heather Dorak, Tracy Robbins and Kris Jenner.

She later unveiled two new products from her American Riviera Orchard brand just hours before Trooping the Colour.

Polo player and close friend of Prince Harry,  Nacho Figueras was treated to a jar of raspberry jam from the collection as well as a jar of luxury dog biscuits for his pooch.
