Motion Controls

Continuing from yesterday's blog. I think skyrim and kinect working together is the future of gaming. All these motion controls are amazing not the novelty wears down after a couple of days.

I remember when I first got my nintendo wii, I was so excited for it that I turned down selling it at christmas for about 600 pounds. This is around the time the wii first came out and nintendo couldn't meet the customer's demand and many people to furfill their kids demand, they went on ebay and paid over the odds.

Well when I got the wii, just a few days after christmas after I had a few games of wii sports and completed red steel, I realised that motion controls are just a gimmick and traditional gaming is so much better. Sitting back on a coach in a small room and sitting infront of a gigantic TV in the early hours of the morning - that's what gaming is.

Another game that used voice commands but it wasn't very popular, tom clancy's endwar. Tom clancy's endwar was a RTS (real time stragedy) and you had the option to use voice commands such as delta - move to alpha and all that kind of stuff these commands were used to control your soilders in the heat of the battle. Although a very good concept but lacking in areas like practicality over theory. The concept was never executed well until kinect came out.

Gaming needs to be enjoyed in your small room with a big massive television hunch over on a controller instead of standing in the middle of your living room, flailing your arms around like an idiot and not shouting at your kinect trying to get it to recognize your voice.
