WiiMote playing Half-Life 2 on a computer

A video of a guy playing Half-Life 2 on his computer using a Wii controller that is connected via bluetooth and GlovePie.

NICE

So someone with a PC and a seperate Wiimotecan all enjoy the Wii sensoring stuff like someone with a Wii can, only difference is the PC owner get's real great games and in HD quality...

Mmmhhh let's see. Seperate Wiimote is 50 Euro's or something like that, the PC and BlueTooth is already here... So that's a cheap and nice experience there!

You could say that about pluggin a Controller/Joystick into a computer.. doesnt stop thousands of people buying a PS2 or Xbox 360.

And whats more is how are you gonna use the keyboard whilst using the tilt'n'tumble controller... If you ask me it seems pointless seeing as there is already mice which can be used a lot easier..

It would also just be easier to buy a Wii cheapskates. Can you see your family gathering round the monitor to play a bit of half life 2 with the remote?

I cant see how this would properly benefit anyone except for the guy who has more money than common sense to go buy a wiimote just to see how it works on his PC.

TheMART7098d ago

First off, the WiiMote seperate only costs 35 Euro's. That's not about money and common sense. That's having fun for a small amount of money. Even if it would only do HL2 it would be fun already.

Second. You will know also, a PC can be connected to the 26 inch HDTV. Yeah I can see friends gathering around the monitor to play HL2 with the WiiMote. Or COD3 but then in better graphics the way it should be played (like I do on the 360 already).

Or any other game driven by the drivers that will be developed. Why does one use a force feedback wheel when they before drove by keyboard?

Because it's fun man...

i hope they figure out how to use the infra-red.
that would improve the "mouse" issue

I didn't know Half Life 2 worked on Macs.

TheMART7098d ago

Imagine what if there will be a Wii emulator on the PC... The Wii is a supercharged GameCube so that wouldn't be that hard! Damn. If that works and the WiiMote works fine, there you have the ultimate motion sensor setup

That is awesome, and death monk he is playing on a windows computer not a Mac.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92368d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil367d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.

Deeeeznuuuts450d ago

Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor

JEECE449d ago

Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.

And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.

Relientk77449d ago

So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3

rokos449d ago

RIP Viktor love your work

Ethereal449d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.
