One of the complaints with motion controlled gaming seems to be that buttons are just being replaced with gestures and positioning.  Well I came up with a odd thought or idea if you will.  What about gaming in which rather than swiping or thrusting for an action, you have the controller make feedback with limits the controller's actual movement at certain points.  For example, if you're using a chainsaw to carve a zombie; instead of performing a complete swipe, the controller stalls a bit as the chainsaw goes through the skin, bone, organs, etc.  For that, I'd imagine that controller would need some form of resistance.  I don't quite known how it could be done but I hit would make the player feels as if they were cutting from the zombie rather than swiping or thrusting and have it done on screen in the form of a quick time event. Ultimately by doing so, you could create a greater sense of immersion as it feels more realistic.

Just an idea.

Maybe more rumbling/ vibration.

There's already such a controller. It only works with a few games though, on the PC. I believe Half-Life 2 and/or Portal might have been one/two of them.

And there's force feedback. Which is basically the same thing, only applied only to a wheel.

Most developers aren't imaginative to use a simple motion other than a button replacement. Regardless of that I would think super electromagnetism that used the planets field to provide resistance. Will we see this form of gaming in our generation? no, in our lifetime maybe, but it would be pretty awesome.

The console and the controller would have to be extremely well shielded from the magnetism, as would any nearby electronic devices.

Such a device would be sufficiently advanced to be considered indistinguishable from magic...

I think something like that could easily be implemented in arcade cabinets, but not on home consoles

people liberals would freak out and say its teaching kids to kill

what if my controller ran away from me?
