Thread: Future of gaming?

  1. #1

    Default Future of gaming?

    Softkinetic Natural Interfaces

    I find this stuff to be so incredible, and favour any new and intuitive designs for interaction with digital mediums. I certainly hope this develops far more into virtual reality than we thought would ever be possible.

    Just imagine the possibilities with technology like this. Damn, we've progressed so far in the last 50 years or so of video games.

    Please discuss, and provide your own insight into what you have just viewed.

    I'm very interesting.

    Possibly what will advance us into Next Gen.

    As long as we don't have to stand up (all the time :3) D:...

    Games should stay the way they are now. I dont have a clue how exactly a Virtual Reality console will work but theres no doubt that it will suck.

    Oh great another reason to sacrifice good story and characters for gimicky gameplay and graphics.

    As good as it all looks i think technology sometimes gets in the way of a good game

    I like using controllers. I don't like the Wii very much, because I do not like the Wii Remote. I am too lazy to stand up and move around, I'd rather just sit on my bed with a controller. Nonetheless, this is very intriguing. It would be cool if you had the option of getting up and moving around or switching to "controller mode" or something.

    I think it would be cooler if they had a headset for a console that's already out that goes over your eyes, where you just use the controller but you're almost in the world of the video game itself.

    When this tech gets a little better, I think it's time for someone to make ArtGod.

    The more I watch of this, the more awesome it seems. This has some srs potential.

    I like how, in order to come across as a "hardcore gamer" these days, you basically have to be the video gaming equivalent of an old person. "I like things the way they are and anyone who tries to change them is a fool! Back in my day we... "

    Yup. I play them for the gameplay; solving puzzles.

    The only game that gets away with being focused almost entirely on the story is Metal Gear Solid, and even then because it's basically (and probably should be) a series of movies.

    ... so I guess you don't approve of me saying that I don't play MGS for the story, but for the stealth lulz? xDDD

    I think if MGS were judged based only on gameplay, it wouldn't stand up too well against a lot of games. But whatever. xP It's not a matter of approving or not. I just think if you want a good story, there are a bout a zillion books and movies out there that do a lot better job than any game of telling one.
