I've already discussed this. A full body suit that reads all your motions and renders it in game. You want to swing your sword, you better pick it up and swing it baby.
Now if I can just attach collision sensitive mechanics that cause the suit to freeze whatever part has hit something, it would be truly epic. You could actually put your weight on an in-game wall because the suit would not let you move beyond that point.
Unfortunately, I would also need a treadmill-type device so one could run in pace.
Get this idea really fine-tuned, and you could actually learn martial arts by playing (and most likely paying) in game, and you could spar with someone for technique practice.

I remember once hearing about this controller they were workin on that was for shooting games, it was this huge contraption that actually gave u the kick of a real gun when u shot. i think that sounds like itd be fun, just imagine using it to shoot the .50 cal on cod 4
i love the xbox 360 controller. if only if it were more durable and the price wasn't so fucking high. and i started pc gaming and i'm starting to like the mouse and key board for fps games.
In the old days, I would have run into this thread and screamed "THE SNES CONTROLLERRR!!!" from the top of my lungs. However, about half a year ago, I played Street Fighter 2 on an actual SNES again... My thumbs still hurt the next day.
That being said, if the 360 controller had a better Dpad, I'd say that the 360 was the winner. But for now that award goes to the PS2, even though I personally don't think that's an extremely great one either: my fingers tend to slide off of the analog.

A keyboard and mouse for the 360, please Microsoft, I am begging you; even the Dreamcast had a mouse and keyboard for games and its webrowser(that would be pretty cool too).
:O Really? Maybe if they improved upon the thing...xitel said:
Mine would be the spawn of the PS2 controller and 360 controller. I grew up on PS2-like controllers, so it's more comfortable. The amount of attachments you can make to a 360 controller is phenomenal.
I loves my red 360 controller. *snuggle*
Something like the 360 controller, but better suited for my tiny hands.
If it could fetch me drinks and go to work for me, too- I'd be set.

A controller that has multiple screens on it that act like a HUD so they don't clutter up the screen.
On second thoughts, that's a terrible idea because then you would have to keep looking down at your controller, and if you already have the buttons mapped out on every controller like I do, then you never need to look down. It would be a distraction.

Yes the original xbox controller took elements from both the dream cast and the PS1 and PS2.Deckard said:
Though it did make refinements to them. By swamping around the thumb stick with the D pad from the Ps2 controller layout, it gave it a more natural feel (like the dream cast). and adding throttle like triggers was an innovation of some sort. ( I could go into more detail but that would be an entire essay )
Replacing the Black and white buttons with shoulder buttons like the Ps2 was a nice refinement for the 360.
Also note that the PS3 now has triggers like the xbox and a centre button to bring up a menu for xbox/playstation control, so both company's have influenced each other...
-back on topic
The keyboard and mouse is the most flexible controls out there, by adding top notch joystick, you can play just about any game you can think of. Though it means switching between devices and you can't really walk around with them, or play standing up without a table...
The xbox360 joy pad is by far the most flexible easy to use controller on the market, motion sensing was a nice experiment, but it has not been taken full advantage of.
Maybe if you split the 360 controller in two, and added motion sensing like the wii, plus a gyro for full tilt sensing accuracy. Also been able to 'lock' them back together again to form a single solid controller again would be a nice touch for FPS and racing games. Been able to charge your batteries while you play is also a very important feature. Oh and don't forget rumble!
