I predict that in 10 to 15 years, game designers will just upload the dicionary and grammar rules into a program with a sound synthesizer, and the computer will choose what to say on its own.

Of course, there'll still be key plot points where the computer is forced to say something specific, but it's better than every enemy you meet saying "Imma keel joo" is the same monotone voice.




So, any thoughts on this? Projections of your own?

In the future, games will be played by combining the Virtual Boy/Wii Remote/Power Glove into a completely virtual enviroment.

How about having the games in your mind?




Oh wait you can already do that if you have an imagination...

We'll have to jump around the screen and they'll actually make us JOG in games.

Wii has started it-the Nintendo which I loved so much has actually been making us work to play games.

And now Microsoft and Sony have gone after it too. I just want a controler in my hand, a friend and a CD goddamit, not to jump around of the screen to kill a zombie or whatever foolishness will be next on the Wii.

it would be like the matrix
in all honesty, I prefer button mashing to flailing about like a madman

Well, Nintendo does a good job at making motion control just another "button", but if people take too much advantage of the motion control gimmick then it'll definitely be horrid.

I personally think that Project Natal is a step into bad territory motioncontrol-wise, and as for the PlayStation Move, I highly doubt anyone is going to buy into something the Wii Remote -with or without Wii Motion+- has already done, and done successfully.

The Wii Balance Board could've been a step into virtual enviroment a la Natal, but thankfully it worked on pressure and not on motion detection.

In essence, I agree with Shadow's take on things, although I do believe that trying to take what Wii did and overdo it is a bad move on Microsoft and Sony's part, and I also hope that Nintendo knows that motion control will have its limits (I certainly think highly of Miyamoto and Satoru- they haven't been too wrong yet. It's Reggie ya gotta watch out for -_-)

It'll be like the Virtual Boy without the forced brakes, headaches, and red beams.

And also have eerything that the DSi and Wii has.

I like motion control, but I still don't wanna jump about. Seeing that I have a small tv, playing the Wii with the motion controls is a tiny bit more difficult to me.

Ah, I loved it when I could sit on the floor with my Gamecube and play Paper Mario TTYD 8 hours or more.

I'm no Miyamoto, but it maygo down hill. I can't see the future.
And if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's that simple.

Example- having to point the remote at the screen whenever wanting to collect star bits in Super Mario Galaxy. It gets tiring after a while. Still a fun game though.
