Speaking of 2007, remember how hyped motion controls were? Remember how excited we got when we saw people "bowling" and "boxing" on Wii Sports? Remember the thrill of booting up LoZ Twilight Princess for the first time? Remember that first sword swing that was blocked on screen even as your real-life arm kept swinging, undaunted but by a pithy vibration? I remember other people feeling that way yes, but for myself and some others it felt like a big set a gimmicks. Motion control on the Wii wasn’t really motion control, it was wiggle control; I remember complaining years ago motion control would only be really interesting what it was 1:1. I don’t feel that way about VR this time. Virtual reality is rough and it’s it’s in its early stages in terms of hardware, software, and the user experience, but it has so much potential. If anything VR right now reminds me of games back of the time of Wolfenstein and Doom, and I’m pretty excited. Having said that I’m not buying first generation VR gear, I put in my time with early computers. My generation two or three though I expected things are gonna be pretty damn interesting. I’m not a particularly optimistic person, but I am genuinely optimistic about this. I don’t think full immersion is required for VR and especially AR to change the game.
