Now you can use the world's least powerful gaming computer, heaviest and most uncomfortable controller and smallest monitor all at once! What will they think of next? |

I can evolve just fine, but it's not evolution if it's worse than existing technology. Some of the stuff you're talking about like kinect-like control systems are technologically impossible. I've tried with the Wii and Kinect at my 13 year old cousin's house. Neither one actually works. They're pretty much impossible to precisely control a game with. They're every bit the useless gimmick the power glove was when I was a kid. Even the things that aren't limited by technology will still not take over gaming because they serve as an alternative, not a replacement. They're not even targeted at the gamer market. They're targeted at non-gamers who play games once in a while. Do you really think anyone but a professional athlete is going to use a Kinect for 6 hours straight? My arms hurt after 1. Do you really think some ridiculous air keyboard can tell apart keys that are millimeters away from each other when the Kinect/Wii can't even tell when I stick my whole arm out? Do you think complex games like MMOs can be played with 6 buttons or even no buttons? Nothing will ever replace the traditional desktop, regardless of what new fads come and go. |

That ridiculous keyboard gets under 7% fail rate after 3 hours of use. Pretty nice from product that isnt even close to be released.
That's not possible. It's not even possible to move one's fingers that precisely without tactile feedback even if the tech to measure it existed. Let's see some proof. Even in the unlikely event that it is true, my physical keyboard gets a 0% fail rate after well over 6 hours. It also costs less and doesn't make you look stupid. |

In my defense, when I said that I was talking about Laser Discs and I was right. |

Yeah. Touchscreen controls beats kb&mouse 6-0.
When touch screens solve the issues of 1) my finger being in the way 2) marks on the screen 3) mechanical resistance I'll happily use them, otherwise, I hates them sooooo much A precision Teflon-tipped stylus would solve all three. I have no idea why touchscreens went from stylus (think Palm Pilots) to fingers. Far less accurate.
Doesn't solve 1 and 3. |
