Wii Vitality Sensor: Terrible Gimmick

Gaming Union writes: Not long ago at Nintendo's E3 2009 Press Conference, Nintendo executive Satoru Iwata revealed the Wii's next peripheral, the Wii Vitality Sensor. Essentially a hospital heart rate monitor, the sensor clips onto the end of your finger just as you'd imagine, to measure your heart rate for use in-game.

even if it is or isn't does it even matter?
i mean anyone with eyes can clearly see this isn't really targeted to the gaming crowd this is just another add on for the wii fit kind of crowd if that crowd finds a use for it then hey have fun with that

this girl on a forum said this would be cool if they used it in a horror game and i liked the way it sounded
it will never be used that way though

its for the wii fit crowd nothing more

mephman6199d ago

Then why bother announcing it at the largest gaming consumer event and not a generic trade show?

SpoonyRedMage6199d ago

Yer the whole horror game angle is exactly how this could be used. In fact just a few weeks ago there was an article about The Grudge game and how it got worse if you jumped and stuff. Easy way to implement it.

Xander-RKoS6199d ago

Lol...

If Nintendo, and this is only an if, did make emotionally triggered games, this could once again revolutionize the gaming industry. Call if a gimmick if you want, but imagine an RPG that based character relationships off how you actually felt about them and not off the yes no question branches? A horror that changed based on how afraid you were? Even a fighting game or brawler that gave you bonus for the more adrenaline? Stuff like that is really cool and definitely make for some very cool games.

So, you'd enjoy never being able to complete a game a certain way because you couldn't control your emotions? I see.

na-no-nai6199d ago

now if they put this into practical use with many games esp horror like fatal frame or silent hill. they should show the world of what they intend to do with this thing. im quite interested in this but i hope nintendo will make games that actually make used of it.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5829d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905829d ago (Edited 5828d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5829d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5829d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495828d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5828d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5828d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
