Forums - Gaming - This would make me buy a Wii...

If someone made a game that did something like this, I would buy it (boxing and paintball come to mind)

Cant you do that with the PS EYE?

It would require edge detection (probably less accurate), and the PS3 (my fav console) uses a standard controller.

It only really works if you point at the screen with something (not technically, but as far as emersion). I think it fits with how you play the Wii. Moving around your living room, and then clicking buttons on the SIXAXIS just seem odd.



Haha, we're going to see this video posted once per week until a developer actually releases a game with this technique. :P

This is to good of a thing to not be used in games and hopefully they will notice the attention it gets and get right on it.

Are you for real, did you even watch the video?



Awesome! If a game came out that did this, I would buy it day one. Please, someone make a game using this!




leo-j, are you so damn jeolous because people are making threads about innovative ideas with wii than ps3?? if so, make your own damn thread!!!!!! gosh its really annoying from you man!! you get jeolous and ask "can't ps3 do that?"




Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

That video really is going to get perpetually posted, I suspect... And yeah, the PS Eye probably wouldn't be able to do it nearly as well, as it's designed to be a regular camera more than an IR camera. Even if it could, it wouldn't be nearly as practical to feature games using head tracking for the PS Eye, as the PS Eye has a much much smaller user base than the Wiimote. The need for 2 Wiimotes is not a big deal at all; given the popularity of Wii Play, and the imminent release of Smash Brothers (a multiplayer game at heart), a great deal of players either have or will have 2 Wiimotes. And really, how many "normal" gamers would pay $70 more to get a PS Eye just to do head tracking? Compared to $40 for an extra Wiimote that will definitely find lots of other uses? Much less likely, no matter how well the head tracking is done.

No leo-j, you can't... at all. You need an IR sensor to do this, and the only console that can do this is the Wii.
