    An end to controlers?

    I belive it's near. With such a positive reaction to dance-simulators and EyeToy. I don't think there will be much use for contolers much longer. (Have you played that new Hover Board game w/ EyeToy?!) Just imagine and RPG where you walk around. Scrolling menus would simply be touch screen. Sports games where you run around and jump and push to tackle. Imagine it! Games are getting more interactive all the time. Do you think this is what's in the future for Gaming?

    Controllers won't be REPLACED, no. They may become better, and they may be right alongside special input methods (Bongos, Dance Pads, Mics, Cameras), but come on... you expect games so demanding in physical activity, especially just to do simple routines of gameplay, to catch on with most gamers?

    Controllers will never die! They'll just have more and more buttons on them every year. I hear they're making a 50 foot long controller with 6,000+ buttons for the new X-Box console.

    I believe that someday controlers wont be nessisary... If you've ever watched the Discovery Science channel, you'd see how close we are to creating games that just work of our brainwaves ^_^

    I can't wait until they can do that well.

    I would also like a way to get rid of the game screens... maybe some way of filling a game screen up to fit your field of view... or some kind of virtual reality goggles xD

    I'm guessing you people have never seen the Steel Battallion controller?

    50 or 60+ buttons, four foot pedals, two joysticks. It comes with it's own manual just for the control explanations, which do everything from launching missles and chaff grenades to wind screen wipers that clear away the mud that collects on your robot's windows.

    Clearly the reason it didn't shift next to any copies of the game.

    And what games WERE designed for the power glove? Seriously, you're making me want to search right now.

    If they remove controllers then there won't be a use for fighting games... I'd probably hang myself with my PS2 controller if that ever happened.

    Actually, I heard Midway was working on a new fighting franchise that utilized the Eyetoy...it's a spinoff of the MK games that utilizes a DDR-style gameplay to imitate actual formal karate techniques for fighting the enemies. As long as Scorpion's in it I'm down. mkownz
