all i heard was whon whon whon get playstation whon whon whon get playstation...

i started with some pongish system that had pinball and like 8 other blip games, 2600, intellivision, colecovision, nes,snes, segamaster system, genesis, neo geo, ps1, ps2, ps3, 360, wii and my favorite of all dreamcast.  that dont stop me from getting kids kinected.  theres nothing wrong with kids being active while your sitting on your butt.  were tlking kids not you.  you would swear it was a casual gaming indoctrination.  what you dont realize or maybe you do  gaming future is beyond being lazy twiddling your dumbs.

ps4 has a touch pad and a light in front for a reason.  thats already pass button mashing very minute but it is.  just playing agame with your thumbs wont be enough to be immersive.  i dont know if you saw the video with the kinect setup in a dome with paintballs but thats far from being casual

Ah, you sound like from my generation!  We have a similarity overlap in many games.  Do you play Commander Keen? Any of the Ultimas with Numbers, or Ultaima Underworld? Star Command I and II? (aka Star Con 2)

Do you remember 'Le Stick'?  It was a baseless joystick that had (mercury?) in it so it was aligned with a real time axis – being virtual for neutral.  If you tilt it right, it would be like pushing a joystick right.  I had one, and it was a challenge to use, and required you keep in a rather uncomfortable position.  Although, it was great for 2600 Combat - because  I could make these really odd fast diagonals with it.

Because I my experiences with it, I really thought the Wii might fail and would need to solve that point of reference problem.  But their stroke of genus was the 'sensor bar' that give you a base to align from.

 

yeah iremember those lol forgot to add the commodore 64, 128 and amiga lol... damn i wasted alot of money lol
