We are now entering a new age of gaming that Nintendo failed to enter, but gave us the possibilities of gaming of tomorrow, and that day is almost here. About a year ago, a certain company whose name I don’t really know started a project for a device known as the Oculist Rift or something like that. The name is weird like the Magnavox Odyssey. This device will enable people to play games in virtual reality.
Nintendo came up with the idea of making a virtual reality console called the Virtual Boy, although due to sales and everybody getting pure red eyes by looking at video games that were red, only a few games were made for this console. An estimated amount of games that were made are 10. That is not that many. This also might have meant that the console was too ahead of its time and technology had not caught up with it.
The Oculist Rift however, enables the game into HD and when video game companies heard about this new device they started having new ideas. The people at Mojang, had the idea that it would be amazing if they were to have Minecraft be playable on this device. People who funded the project got their own prototype of the device and tried it out. It won’t be long until gaming will literally and truly take people into the real game. And that is without the losing all your lives you die in real life routine, no, this is going to be much more different than that, but if I were you I would stay as far away as you can from trying to find any glitches.
Is this really a good idea though? Almost every game before the Xbox Kinect needed to have a control in order to not only play the game, but to even start playing. In the NES classic Duck Hunt, you use a zapper controller to play the game, but you need to use a regular Nintendo controller in order to start the game. I believe I saw somewhere that the Virtual Boy did have a Nintendo controller on it and was 2D to 3D. It you were to play on the Oculist Rift however when you Minecraft, you can say it’s 4D or like you are at an IMAX movie theater because if you look left the character in the game will also look left. The device actually knows what you are doing. There is still this thing about motion gaming though. Ever since the NES days motion gaming is still hard to master. 4 out of 5 games in the Wii sports games are fun to play with the motion controller except for golf, you can’t control you power or be gentle just to putt the ball in the hole. For Xbox Kinect you need a lot of room to play, meaning not furniture in your way or even in the room. The power glove… well, more than half the time it doesn’t even work. Any way I think that’s it.
