Last night, while playing Gladiator Duel, with my Moves, I had a thought, about the future of character creation in video games. Playing with the Moves has became a fun experience, that makes you feel like you are in the game. I thought what if you could take it a step further. I thought about what if the Move and PS Eye combo, could capture you and your actions, and use that to make a character in the game. Then your actions and images will be inserted into the program and you would be able to control someone who acts and looks like you. Various sports titles have been doing a variant of this for years now, but not very realistic. This could work on a number of ways, and with a regular controller or motion. There are quite a few examples of this happening in part, but if they could pull it all together, it could be a new step in gaming. Here are some examples, of how it is used and how it could be used in the future.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Cultured Vultures: "Sadly, not all hardware is created equal, and no matter how much developers might try, some gaming hardware just fails to hit the mark. We’ve compiled a list of 10 gaming hardware fails, and boy did some fail hard."
I would label the Power Glove, Kinect, and that Tony Hawk skateboard more as hardware addons hardware failure would be like the Virtual Boy and one day Stadia.
The picture should be the 360 RROD. When I think of gaming hardware failures that's what springs to mind. Kinect and it's bundled price tag definitely hobbled the already underpowered Xbox One though for sure so I would give it a close second place.
Lol I had the Atari Jaguar, surprised its "competition" the 3DO isn't on the list too, both as "popular" as each other.
Stadia is a weird one. It hasn’t sold at all well but in terms of how it works it’s still miles ahead of Xcloud in terms of stability and performance. Xcloud is still a way behind and that needs sorting but it will be in time. Stadia for me is one of those things that will go down as a what could have been moments. With better marketing it could have been a roaring success. I still play it and it remains the best place in my opinion to play CyberPunk 2077. Only platform I have played it on without having any issues at all. The tech is great. The concept is fine. Marketing terrible. Shame really.
The Xbox One was Microsoft’s Nintendo Wii U. Undercooked, undersold and just an unholy mess. The thing is with any of these failures is to learn from them and thankfully both Nintendo and Xbox did just that to the benefit of gamers everywhere.
this is something that lag shouldn't hurt so much , so you can take your time & do the movements & let kinect record them to set to your Character.
Take mortal combat and mix it with street fighter and you inside the game...on the TV... with no controler... and you have KUNG FU LIVE! the game is the best moctionless game I have ever played and is better than most fighting games... plus its only 15 bucks! I tried it at a demo booth but it will be on PSN later this year and is a day one Purchace. I have been begging playstion to buy Virtural Guitar Company before XBOX does and makes them an XBOX exclusive. Please if you think Kung fu Live ROCKS Go to Playstion share and vote for Playstation to buy Virtural Guitar company!
