There has been one constant throughout gaming's history. Whether you're driving a car, shooting a gun or rollerblading, all the player does is hit plastic coloured buttons! Madness! Turn the corner in Goldeneye and then use all your cunning to pree the big grey lump of plastic at the bottom of the pad!
Clearly something has got to change before real immersion can be achieved in gaming. Although companies like nintendo have revolutionised controllers, they have always remained basically the same. The only real differences are specific controllers- the light gun for house of the dead, the wheels for GT and the brilliant Maracas for Samba de Amigo!
But this can go too far! Like the skateboard controllers that I've juts seen! Not only that, but they're also too expensive!
Surely Shigsy Miyamoto or someone can think of a better system that lumps of plastic??? It reminds me of cars... despite having improved in every way, they still have a tiny motor moving a bar to wipe water off the windscreen!
