In NOM I read in the store (page 98 I think) that there is a control device called the P5 glove. Its supposed to allow freedom of movement especially in third person adventures.
Now I was thinking this would be an ok device but it would have certain limits. Then I got thinking about other games that use devices that have certain limitations, such as light gun games. Now if you could have the glove in one hand and a light gun in another, you could have more freedom. Instead of being stuck following a set track on a light gun game you could go your own route. Then with the glove you could move a virtual hand and be able to pick things up such as keys and use them in doors. Or may be able to punch enemies when your out of ammo, which you have to put in by hand! This would make many people happy, as some want light gun games (as I have read in one of the topics) also people want more realism/mature games.

Who knows maybe someone like Rare have already thought of this and have it ready to shock the world (I wish). Really they are the only people who could make this work good enough for it to set a standard for others to follow. As they well get the controls spot on, and have that great game play while having that special Rare something that makes everyone like their games.

What do you think of this weird idea that I just found flying around my head? Feel free to subport this idea, add to it or just say how cr*p you think it is!

Yeah, I saw that P5 as well, looks good. (It was only by chance that I got NOM this time rather than NGC, as I wanted the Harry Potter stuff!).
