This is just the beginning... if someone(Free Radical) can get this implemented into an FPS game.... The 360 might have to say goodbye to the FPS crown.

I really don't think it would work for an FPS... and I'm not sure why people think it would... if you were really there shooting stuff you wouldn't be doing so through a window a metre in front of you.. it would be very disorienting. wheras other genre can benefit massively, Endless Ocean for instance could have you moving around to look at the fish, 3D puzzlers (like this i think) would work really well.

Yeah, that would be silly. When I shoot I like to stand out in the wide open with my head up. Having cover like a window just gets in the way of a FPS. Turning or tilting my head to get a better angle at a target wouldn't help my game at all.

 

Seriously, do you have any idea how wicked awsome it would be to have the camera controlled by your head movements! Then you would use the WiiMote to aim... I can just picture coming of to a corner, or a door and peeking in just by look into it... It this implemented in a responsible manner(not EA please) it would have a shot a being an UBER system selling shooter... this would work especially well for Tom Clancy type games(slower paced)
