Andriasang: "Controller upgrade arrives in five colors. Will be packed in with Wii as well."
Cyberith presents Skyrim VR: Tamriel as you've never seen it before, thanks to the Oculus Rift, WiiMote controller and Virtualizer treadmill.
I really want to get my hands on this - VR could be so huge, I hope it takes off!
This is terrible... this technology is so far off, who really wants to be in that contraption. No thanks I'll pass on the VR for now
When you put on an Oculus Rift for the first time, you'll change your tune.
I pretty much guarantee it.
It just looks like way to much stuff going on...Maybe I would change my view if I used it, but for right until I get that chance, um no thanks
you do know theyre separate right you can use oculus in chair with any controller right
Ever since the Wii was released video games developers have been trying to create something innovative by changing the controller, making high tech Eye Toys or strapping screens to our heads, but does any of this actually make video games better? Let’s first look at previous endeavours in video games and see if they did anything to better gaming as a whole.
I think each on its own will be limited, but a kinect camera, oculus and wii-mote nunchuck together, seems plausible that good games could be made... I could immerse myself in an modern Elite game.... Dreaming now....
I'm not sure a wii-mote is ideal. One of the peripherals I would expect to see in coming years is some form of glove with artificial muscles which contract and expand as we touch things in game (so you can grasp things such as joysticks, weapons and ledges and feel resistance). Combined with a kinect-style camera, this could be very promising.
Regardless, we're going to see a lot of innovation in making VR more immersive beyond the goggles themselves soon I'm sure, and it will be quite interesting to see which designs succeed and which fail.
I don't know, a lightsaber fight with Darth Vader would be nice! I don't think there is too much past that for me with motion controls. I like to lazy around the living room....
As for the Oculus Rift: I am down! That thing looks awesome.
Oculus Rift is the future...
Motion control- already tested last gen and it did not work....don't see it working this gen...
Yes...especially when you combine both technologies. VR motion headsets, especially the Oculus, will only get bigger. When you mix motion gaming (like the Razer Hydra, for example) with headsets, it adds depth to any experience. Everyone has been experimenting with that. My favorite example would be Surgeon Simulator 2013.
The crew discuss the new Zelda, waggle, and other unusual control schemes that they’ve both loved and hated. Paul goes the entire episode without hating on the Wii. We’ve also got your Viewer Mail, Saints Row: The Third, and yes, more Skyrim.
Nintendo's really loading up the guns.
