Thread: next generation gaming

However the track records for these types of products is simply not a good one. Why didn't DVD's technology take off on the computer and replace the CD-ROM???

because of the (percieved) cost. People just dont like price margins on things, when a DVD takes .50 USD to make, but is sold for 17-22 dollars. Writable DVD media still costs ALOT of money compared to CD-ROM technology, which the common user is very hard pressed to fill up 1 CD with what they want(unless this user is a digital film buff, and comes home with 2-3GB of film every other day).

As to this technology, I agree with skorman it would rock in an RTS; however, I dont see much use for it until it greatly matures.

I don't really see how it would help out any RTS games. I love RTS games and play them all the time, and I think the current controls are perfect for them. I don't have any problems with the mouse/keyboard combination.

Rather I think the glove would be better suite for sim games like flight sim or even a 3rd person action adventure game.
