| Solid_Snake4RD said: first projector will be costly so Nintendo won't do it and second what the hell would it do for gaming???????????????????????????????????????????????? you are talking as if Projector console is the next BIG STEP which its not |
What does motion controls do for gaming? What does touch screen do for gaming? What do dual screens do for gaming?
The next feature for Nintendo's next console doesn't necessarily have to directly change the way games are played, but rather it should simply have a way to differenciate itself and offer an appealing selling point to the console. Look at the 3DS, it is not necesarilly doing something that changes gaming, but a lot of people are still excited about it, because it differciates itself. It is (right now at least) the only handheld that offers 3D, and it does so without the glasses.
A projector built in a console, as I said, would offer great flexibility and portability. If somehow able to project on a surface (just a fantasy of mine), it could add a new dimension to games as they could now be played in a completely different way. Imagine having games on your table, and being able to interact with objects. It's like playing a board game, but digital. Games would become more overhead focused. We'd have more RTS/God games on consoles, as well as overhead shooters. A game like Starcraft would be perfect on a surface, and with motion controls you could move around objects and initiate commands just by moving your hands and fingers around the table. Maybe I've been doing too many drugs, but I love the idea of playing games like RTS on a table, where you can control things Minority Report style :)
This is probably stuff that won't happen for another 20 years, but like I said you never know with Nintendo. They could surprise you. I certainly didn't expect a 3D capable handheld with near HD console graphics and motion control. Maybe in like 2015 but I certainly didn't expect it in 2010-2011.
