BrightSideofNews: A small startup called Sixense is bringing a next generation motion controller which makes Skyrim and other games - truly awesome.
We heard of Sixense thanks to Simon Solotko, former AMD social guru whose vision of Holodeck didn't found ground with the PC salesman who is now heading that company. AMD's loss was Sixense's gain though, since the team now is getting more and more vocal about this quite simply, awesome way to play games.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
ah PS Move should have been as cool as this controller...
Is this more accurate than the the Move? I tried the PS-move on that table tennis game and contrary to what everyone else said I noticed enough lag to stop me from playing the game.
So imo controllers are still 100x's better.
but that's not real motion control! is he slashing? NO. will he be able to cast a spell by thrusting his hand out? NO. this is just a normal controller with some Sixaxis abilities.
O_o Didn't seem to be utilized much different from a regular controller. Let's see a few more demonstrations...
I stil got my mouse. No lag there.
