Guess the next innovation in gaming!

[nine0nine]

if we are going to use a visor to similate a real environment and then sit down, would that itself make it less virtual, it may work for a racing game, where you would be seated, but then in that case you still need a wheel and pedals to complete the set up, somethiing thats just too expensive.

Also, bowling with a wii reemote is one thing, blowling with a visor is another, even in wii sports you often wait for other players to move, for dogs and cats to get out the way or for your stupid girlfriend to move her big toe so she doesnt get it smashed by the wii remote (even if it is hilarious). with a visor all those things become a problem.
Theres also the social interaction, half the fun of wii sports or warioware is seeing the other people playing the game, or their reactions to when you are playing, and ofcourse the victor shouts and taunts. I wouldnt swap that for a visor in a million years.

You cant just engineer an LCD that doesnt damage your eyes either, focussing on anything at such a close range will damage your eyesight, theres no ifs or buts here, you just cant have that concept in a domestic device. For immersion of this style, we are going to need matix head jacks or something!

Like i said before too, imersive games just arnt a good idea, games are already under attack for being too realisitec and affecting peoples lives, there are already a number of murders that are connected with certain individuals playing certain games. Now these people may already be killers and the video game pushed them over the edge or whatever spin they wish to put on it, but with truely imersive games that would worsen these issues 100 fold.

Along the same lines, how many of us are genuinly scared when playing resident evil? I am and it makes the game better, no doubt, but along with that sense of fear is the sense that you can press pause and it stops, theres the safety that its just an image on your screen, even tho it still scares you. There maybe the odd person that is happy to take that to the next level, but im very sure that there are alot of people that not only dont want to, that it would cause mental problems too.

I honestly cant see videogames ever leaving the screen/interface method set up, atleast not in a domestic environent.
