A FPS Control Scheme

2005-10-29 1128 UTC

I’m not a FPS fan. I used to be, back in my teens when Doom and Quake rocked the roost, but so far as I’m concerned, the FPS genre is stale and stagnant.
However, I do think of the FPS as an important genre for the industry as a whole, so I came to thinking, following […]

There’s snippets from developers, both positive and negative. Opinion from gamers and a look at the history of motion sensor-based control systems in video games. A thoroughly good read.

Revolution Brain Control?

Posted in Revolution, Rumours

There’s been a bit of buzz on game blogs about the latest theory regarding the Revolution’s controller. Infendo sums it up nicely.
Mind control.
My opinion; no. Yes it fits the condition given by Satoru Iwata that the revolution is something that hasn’t been used in gaming before, but the current level of brain input is […]

Nintendo Make Great Hardware - Stop Bitching

2005-05-31 1443 UTC

It’s been a cry made by so many over the years;

Nintendo aren’t number one anymore, why don’t they just quit the hardware business like Sega did?
