| Legend11 said: I haven't been following 3D gaming much except for news articles about Sony planning to support it with the PS3 but it struck me how Natal would be a much better fit for the technology. Imagine driving a virtual car, aircraft, tank, etc with 3D controls you can see in front of you and manipulate with your hands rather than using a motion controller which would seem tacked on to the 3D experience. I would be very surprised if some game companies aren't already doing research and design on such ideas . I'm curious as to what people here think of 3D gaming and Natal. Are they perfect for each other and likely the future of gaming or do you think motion controllers are the future? |
Yes, they are perfect for each other. The end goal (that won't happen in our lifetimes) is the holodeck from Star Trek: The Next Generation. That's is the ULTIMATE gaming platform. To get there, we have to be freed from tradition control inputs and have a complete immersive and interactive experience. Full body motion control and 3D are steps in that direction, whether people like it or not (and, for the record, here on VGC most will NOT like it).
