    Avengers? Seen It?

    What - nobody's discussing the Avengers movie in here? What's going on? Hasn't anybody seen it yet?

    Unusual control systems

    Well, I've read reviews on Sony's HMZ-T1 headset, stating how good the quality of its 3D is - some people have said you could almost reach out and touch some objects. Perhaps these things would be very good complementary technologies to use in conjunction together. I don't know that anyone has...

    Unusual control systems

    Take a look at this - it's a wrist-band gadget that picks up your neural signals, allowing them to be used to manipulate a robotic hand: http://www.technicamix.com/2011/10/19/7-unbelievable-medical-gadgets/ I wish something like this could be used as a game controller. I can picture lots of...

    Dynamic Mood Music

    Does anybody know of any good games that feature dynamic mood music? I'm not talking about where the music is scripted based on predetermined events, but music that changes in response to your actions. For instance, if you suddenly start shooting or whacking a whole lot of bad-guys, then the...

    Light Gun Games

    Cmon, that's what people say about shooter-gamers in general. "Why do you like shooting people? Are you a sicko? You people caused Columbine" It's a game. Ok, fair enough. I think that the Wiimote was designed as a compromise around these various things, so that you could do lightgun stuff...

    Light Gun Games

    Hi, I want to thank you for that video - it was very nice. Yes, I totally agree with this idea of 'kinesthetic projection' - that's what I'm talking about with lightguns. But obviously, as you say, such devices have to work above a certain threshold of accuracy/precision/performance, or else the...

    Light Gun Games

    But cmon now - how can you like playing gun-games while finding guns too unwieldy? This is what separates the casual gamer from the hardcore one. To me, being hardcore is about seeking an experience that's as immersive and authentic as possible. That makes it ironic that motion-gamers are...

    Light Gun Games

    But tell me - all other things being equal, don't you feel more satisfaction when you drop an enemy by taking real aim with your hands and firing? When it comes to art of actually firing a gun - which most gamers never have - obviously it's the lightgun which most closely reproduces this real...

    Light Gun Games

    I'm not disagreeing that regular FPS can do it too - but I was saying that when you're doing it on rails, then it can naturally be staged to look cinematic. Whereas if you're full-freedom then it won't necessarily look cinematic and artistic, because the look can't be controlled as much...

    Light Gun Games

    Well, as you know, the Wii Zapper and similar lightguns attach the numchuk at the back, so that you can use its joystick to maneuver. Or you could use the D-pad to maneuver. Various lightgun type controllers now include the joystick...

    Light Gun Games

    One of the reasons I had my hopes up about a Valve console was the hope that they would come out with better controllers for hardcore action, like light guns. I've always felt that the light gun is the most hardcore controller you can have for a shooter game. Personally, I would love for light...

    hi

    Okay, so what about the talk that Valve is making VR-goggles? Is that real?

    Unusual control systems

    But WTF happened with Steel Battlion 2? What kind of morons try to shove motion-detection into a game, just for the sake of being hip and motion-gamey? They should have used the original controller with this thing. No sense scrapping that huge-ass controller, just to replace it with Kinect...

    Unusual control systems

    Well, if I could make my own controls, I would want to include a lightgun. I think the lightgun is the most natural way to play shooter games. The mouse and keyboard are too artificial. But I'm not sure how you could get a lightgun and a VR headset to work together. The VR headset saves having...

    Unusual control systems

    I remember seeing this video awhile back, which involved the Kinect, Wiimote, and VR glasses: Pretty unusual setup, but the results allow some exciting possibilities. Here's somebody playing Skyrim using Sony's new HMZ-T1 video headset, TrackIR & Kinect : If this VR-headset stuff...
