What we're all truly waiting for I believe is either a Holodeck of some sort or something we can control with our minds.

This worked best in the 2d environment, obviously.
Sometimes limitations are good things.

I also wonder if WiiMotion+ and these types of things are going to drastically destroy character-specific fighting styles.

*Quote may not be actually wording, but commenter is too buzzed to look it up.]]>Nov 26th 2008 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/truemotion-3d-enables-true-motion-control/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/truemotion-3d-enables-true-motion-control/
Its basicaly inteligent IK-based charecters for gaming, and its *perfect* for be combined with motion plus and stuff like this.

Fixed-charecter animations are completely incompatable with 1:1 motion controll systems, so game developers need to rethink.
But there is techniques, like endorphin, out there for having decent charecter motions combined with getting the location of the hand to match reallife input.

As for Link, I think actualy controlling directly the sword motions is going to FAR outweigh the negatives of the charecter not looking as cool when fighting. Allthough in many ways fighting would probably look more cool anyway, seeing as it would be more dynamic and unique, rather then just 3 or 4 preset animations player other. The game could use a few simple tricks if nesscery to help the player. Slowing down time, being the most obvious.

As for difficulty, it wouldnt need to be easier or harder, just different. Generic slashs wont cut it anymore, make the player have to aim for gaps in the armour, for instance. You cant aim a sword with buttons or stick, but motion controll lets you easily. So the game should require it more.

Actual fighting games would probably need to be done completely differently, but frankly, I think that needs to happen anyway.
Theres only so much can be done with button combos.

Know where we are pointing, how we are moving/leaning etc. and react to that?

Anyways. There needs to be a VR helmet with head tracking for the consoles and the PC.
Combine it with a motion sensitive controller apparatus like a wii-mote.

It's not new, but it didn't looked like anyone in here have seen what he has done already.
Scroll down to the section "Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the Wii Remote" and let your jaws drop. He has a fully functional head tracing for the Wii and the sourcecode as well - not even mentioning the other cool stif he makes with the Wiimote and the IR camera.

EA said they would make a game som point in time that would support this - anyone know about the title?]]>Nov 30th 2008 4:04PM
