Kinect, PlayStation Move and their role in developing a complete virtual reality.
A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.
Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever
That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
I will still maintain that motion control gaming and even controller free gaming will lay down the foundations for the next generation of interaction in gaming, albeit not in the current guise. These are necessary steps that need to be taken to help evolve the way we interact with increasingly advanced and complex games.
Totally controller-less gaming just doesn't seen desirable or effective at all to me however.
Hmm.... maybe in the future but i think physical buttons will always feel better for me...
The answer is ridicule, until they figure out how to give the player as much control over the action as they currently have when using a controller and I don't think that will happen for a long time, if ever. To me, that's why Move is better than Kinect. Kinect can be used for gaming in a limited way, but Move can do those types of games as well as more traditional "hardcore" games. Move doesn't have the same wow factor because you still have a controller in your hands, but it's more functional as well as precise.
Totally controller-less gaming doesn't seem likely. Too many people(myself included)would be against it.
Personally I feel it's heading closer to ridicule than revolution however I think we will have a far clearer picture over the next four months on how big of a success Kinect really is with the sales of it's next line of games.
I still don't think the family market is as sustainable sales wise as the core market. With Microsoft almost exclusively catering for this market, there is still a long way to go to see how much of a success kinect really will be. I bet there a lot of non gamer people who bought all the kinect hype and purchased it on that alone.. I wonder how much of them even know about the next line of kinect games out? It's been a long time since Microsoft personally released a kinect game (excluding the horror one) and I think that's going to hurt them as the buzz has probably died down for a lot of people.
Ofcourse with it being Microsoft, they'll probably once again just throw stupid amounts of money at the marketing to ensure at least enough success to boast a few figures.
