This week’s episode is raw and unedited, since Jonah’s laptop got fried. However, despite the audio issues and being posted via cell phone, the gang got off a pretty good show.
This week’s news includes:
- Overwatch pro ends career with stream of racial slurs
- Don’t expect Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy 7 remake until at least 2018
- DOTA 2 will soon require competitors to cough up their phone number
- Report: PlayStation VR bundle will come with required camera and one Move controller
The Question of the Week: “What kind of VR game would you want to play?”
The same company that brought us the NES Advantage has proven the Wii control scheme isn’t as bad as critics speculated. The beauty of adding the “waggle” technology is limiting your button count to a reasonable level without overwhelming gamers.
Sony took pieces of this concept in their PS3 controller and its ability to detect “tilt.” Xbox 360 stuck with the beefy controller with lots of buttons and analog sticks. Not just a D-Pad but two analog sticks and a ton of buttons to press, some pressure sensitive as well. What of our next-generation console? Maybe a few new buttons?
