What I would like to see in the future of gaming would be some sort of a machine (not a console) that made you feel as if you were in the game completely.

Now I am not talking about a virtual thing, well I am but not. It would be a machine that you wired youeself into but when switched on you were entered in the game. You could play in a football match as a player and score, celebrate etc. Play in a shoot im up and get killed hide etc. It would be the best game in the world you could become a star striker in 5 mins or a super hero.

It also have benifits cripled people could play and feel as if they were using their limbs again. But then some people could become addicted and get mixed with reality and the game.

This machine may be a long way off before being built but I think that would be the best gaming machine in the future.

your talking about putting electrical devices into your brains nerves! well thats stupid, VR is a much better idea and thats why it's being done instead of this crazy idea you have. it's impossible at the moment and if it is made safe, you won't be alive to play with it.
when I read this it made me think about 'the lawnmower man' but that was about VR, not stupid electronic devices that get plugged into your brain.......stupid.
