Mad Genius Break-Apart Controller Hones Your Archery in Skyrim

[1337mokro]

Dude in his basement makes better motion controller than 3 biggest multinational console manufacturers. Motion controls still inferior to regular controllers.

I think that says it all.

Whilst everyone is in the Bad idea camp here. I really don't see how this could be a downgrade to what we have now. From what I saw there it tracks both hands fairly accurately. If he somehow managed to make this work for Steel Battalion and it fixed it I would universally declare this a success. Because fuck the Kinect.

Motion tracking the player like that is a phenomenally bad idea. People move and react to in game stuff all the time. To have that translate into on-screen movement will likely send you into a lava pit or a tiger's mouth.

Motion controls will never be practical until we can get away from that tiny window that is a big screen TV. You need full 360 field of view for this to even begin to be worthwhile.

Even then it has a fatal flaw, people game to relax and get away from RL and relax, can't do that waving your arms around or jumping around.

so you move forward and it mvoe forward. i need to run this 5 km of mountain to another village, but i happen to run into a wall in my room. see the problem?

thats good and all, but how does she turn around 180° ?

Using the thumbstick?

defeating the purpose of having motion controls to begin with?

I still don't understand how I was never on that balcony over looking the smithy at the beginning of the video.

I didn't see the one to one tracking he was talking about. Close, but still not close enough to feel as though those are your hands on the screen. Like a lagged behind shadow maybe.
I also feel like she should have been playing in first person.


Pretty neat I guess, probably pushes the envelope alittle more until something that really works comes out.

I feel like an improved Kinect would have been better. I mean I can definitely get behind some voice commands and using hand gestures to deploy squadmates.
