That doesn’t mean there weren’t a lot of stupid inventions, suspicious techniques, and terrible bad thoughts in the process. From early virtual reality to PlayStation’s acclaimed glow stick MoveMotionController, let’s look back at the hilarious ideas developers have tried.
It’s no secret that first-person, third-person, and multiplayer shooters are some of the most popular categories of video games, but the path to a developer with the perfect experience is hilarious peripherals, gimmicks, Technology is too far ahead of the curve. To work well, and some funny bad thoughts. In this video, we’ll look at some of the most memorable and unsuccessful attempts, such as early virtual reality prototypes in malls inspired by movies such as The Lawnmower Man and books such as Snow Crash. We are investigating the unexpected negative effects of flat screen TVs on light gun games and the slow death of toy gun peripherals. We’re using the PlayStation Move motion controller on the PlayStation 3 to explore how developers have tried for years to keep light gun games alive with ridiculous inventions like Killzone 3. Kinect tried to make the Xbox 360 let the player completely imagine the controller. RIP Kinect. We have a squad voice command long before a tactical game like SOCOM for PlayStation 2 was good enough for voice recognition technology to make it work and lead to the killing of a frustrating squad. I’m investigating how it was incorporated. Next, let’s take a look at some of the latest tactile inventions that seek to improve the increasingly better and well-established controller rambler using the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller with adaptive triggers. That means exploring the tactile vest and the butt rambler.
If you want to try some of these older technologies yourself, many can be found online or in vintage shops such as NES Zapper, PS2 GunCon, Socom US NavySeals PS2 Headset. A remake of the early VR game Dactyl Nightmare can be found on Oculus VR devices. Kinect games for the Xbox 360 still work. We highly recommend them as well as shooters.
