on a darker note what if it gets hacked ?????

Welcome to the Twilight Zone

Finally watched the vids.  The first one looks cool if the movements are minimal enough.  I think the flying is the best usage but the infantry was good too.  Could definitely give you an edge.


As for the MS vid, I'm not sold...seems more novelty like the Wii.  Cool no doubt but not for serious gaming.  Besides I want to sit on my arse and play not pretend to walk... 

And I don't want to buy dresses either!

We've had the Eye Toy for PS2 for years and there's some fun novelty with that as well but I'm just not big on motion capture. 

I'd rather the industry focuses on better AI, bigger environments, better graphics, better sound....and Smellovision (I want to smell Africa in FC4...Just kidding)

When I read your posts, like this one, I lean back and... start to chuckle. You have a gift of "saying" stuff I had running in the back of my brains as unvoiced thoughts. Now that you say them, I think "the man is absolutely right!"  :-X ;D

[spaceboy]

haha - Thanks Art.  I also love reading the posts here too..the intelligent humor of our members makes me smile and laugh.  As for whatever is going on in your brain, if they include thinking like I do - you might want to get that checked out.  ;)

Your shrink and mine strongly advise not to share rooms in that asylum they booked us in  ;D

[spaceboy]

you said Asylum - now me and Fiach are thinking about Batman Arkham Asylum again....

As for the tech, definitely thinking how great it would be to look to the sides in FUEL.  In my cruising across a huge plain scanning for barrels of FUEL(points) it would have been very helpful to look without turning.  Too bad this tech is only for PC...

[Art Blade]

don't you have a coolie-hat on your controller that could do it? some games, like flying a helicopter or a plane, have that option.

[spaceboy]

a coolie-hat?  Is that one of those hats with beer cans on the side and straws leading to your mouth?  Not sure what your referring to my friend.

[Art Blade]

haha, no... imagine a joystick on top of a joystick. that thing is called coolie hat, you operate it with your thumb.

It reminds of the chinese hats... wiki calls it hat switch

Tech... nice tech... thinking about our discussions of what we expect games to be like, what graphics should look like, and then reality kicks in. Poor quality in some new games... just to get an idea of what is currently doable on a PC... check this vid :) If you click the vid and go to youtube, there's a HD version which apparently doesn't appear if embedded like here.

DKM2, here's another vid using that TrackIR - oh, check that guy's rig at the end of the vid LOL

I also posted it in our ArmA2 forum for game relevance, here

Ya, I almost think you'd need the triple-head 2 go setup for the TrackIR to be useful.
Way outta my price range anyways...
