Any plans for TrackIR?

lol can you imagine aiming like that ! :smiley:

EDIT: watched the rest of the movie, don’t really like it on fps but that’s just my opinion

It’s fine in FPS games where POV is separate from weapon aiming.

Looks like it’d be annoying, your head moves but your monitor stays still… you’d be straining your eyes to keep looking at the monitor.

Don’t like it, give me raw gaming!

Makes you wonder when we will see the full body sensor suit :slight_smile: (something mainstream). Then I will probably see my neighbor playing the sims in their living room…

It’s like anything. It has it’s purpose.

Looks like it’d be fantastic for Simulator games, but no good for action/adventure etc.

Get a GameGun instead!

Note how ETQW has support for that and requires a special mod to run. IE only people who own that thing can play together.

like Arma 2 for example.

you can say same about mouse and keyboard.

Not really, the PC version can be played with any controller, including gamepads etc.

They even made HL2 playable with a Wii mote :smiley:

And people say PC gaming is dying, I laugh at them! ha ha ha… ha. …heh…

I found the idea of your head moving while trying to focus your sight on one fixed spot ridiculous. How is that supposed to be more immersive?

You might as well go for a huge widescreen, thats 3 times as natural, as you actually look around to different views, not wobble your head in front of a screen like a complete no-life.

also see the latest video on that channel.

in facts its WAY more immersive.
really enjoyed this from 1st version of Flashpoint[not Resistance addon]-era, ie [almost]ten years ago.
with little training this way VERY helpful even when used with kbd/mouse input only.

p.s.
Mirror Edge fail not because lack of ideas, but because lack of time 4 testing/polishing.
i guess.
