1 - You're right, Schindler's List was all about making money.  What a cash in.  /sarcasm  The point was not necessarily about Spielberg alone, it's the goal of all filmmakers and films to ilicit emotions from the audience. 

2 - Thank you for making my point, emotional content within games is extremely limited and has vast amounts of room to expand.  This device could allow you to do that in ways that have NEVER been done before.

1 - That's great for Film makers, let them make films. Forcing emotion out of a gamer is not only unnecessary, but not likely to happen. Do you cry while playing Final Fantasy games?

2 - Adding on, yes games are limited in emotion, because games are not emotional things. Your goal is to win, not to feel. It always has been this way. Gamers don't want to feel - they want to enjoy, unwind and relax, and veg out from a world that is overrun with pointless feelings. I seriously doubt that a half-working prototype is going to be the golden avatar of emotional gaming

Well let's agree to disagree, we obviously have different tastes....and yes, I did shed a tear playing Lost Odyssey, RPGs are my favorite genre because more than anything I love a good story and it's most definately not the same as watching a movie.  I don't really play shooters.  The Milo demonstration showed me that gaming still has a long way it can go. 

If you've ever watched professional athletes crying after winning (or losing) the championship then you know that your point about games being about winning and not feeling are completely wrong.  Why aren't they sitting there emotionless?  After all, the only point of sports is winning, right?  No, winning is about emotion.
