A new game with the gameplay style of Chaos Legion. I don't mean DMC, I mean an actual Chaos Legion game.

Reposting a post I just made on Fark...

I wasn't very excited over Kinect type systems, nor for 3D TV, but a system that combines the two... starts to get interesting.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out Online 2014 anyone?

Finally, you CAN punch someone in the face over the internet!

Unfortunately, they won't feel it.

It comes with a special headset. It's electrodes that you stick on your face.
And they have to sense a pulse and moisture to work.

I don't think motion controls will be really good until there's actual tactile feedback, be it through some sort of glove or physical props or what have you. While I can swing a remote and kinda pretend it's a sword, I'm not meeting any resistance when I hit something. That always throws me off.

I don't think motion controls will be really good until 'games' are actually pocket universes created whole-cloth that allow the player to physically take the role of the character they're playing.

Nah, but seriously, imagine it. No lag for multiplayer, the ability to potentially experience an entirely new body (Afraid of spiders? Become one!) and the ability to learn how to actually, say, fly a jet fighter without having to worry about permanently dying horribly if you crash.

This is "games you wish existed" not "separate realities you wish existed". This topic works so much better if you restrict yourself to current technology.

Okay Debby Downer. I can't *wish* I had a virtual reality boxing game so I could practice at home of all places? I think you need to sit down son.
Its a game. And I wish it existed. Therefore it isn't derailing the thread, mister paralegal-in-training.

Speaking of tactile feedback, I remember reading about this Street Fighter II arena where the players would hook up electrodes to themselves. And whenever you were struck in-game, it would electrocute you IRL. It looked like a ton of fun. I wish I had it set up to work for Mortal Kombat.

What would happen if you got fatalitied though? Ow.

Just start a fight club in the parking lot of a local bar. This holds the extra bonus of self discovery and learning your own place in the world. Side effects may include dating Helena Carter and easy to spot plot twists.

Nah, it wouldn't electrocute you that much.

In any case:

Ok let me see

A Hard game that is challenging

Yet its difficulty isn't a selling point.

[Fniff]

That's really vague. How do you think this would be implemented exactly?

Simple any game that is hard... but where both the developers and the fans do not jump infront of me and go "Ohh man you have to play this, it is actually hard!"

since those tend to get me games where:
1) They are too hard to be enjoyable
2) Where the difficulty is meant to be overcome with a strategy guide
3) Where the difficulty comes from unfun gameplay elements such as a character who walks like they are wading through jello.

A game that is hard but where that comes naturally from the fact that it is fun.

Not a game that is fun and hard...

A game that is fun but just happens to be hard.

[Fniff]

Well, that's relying too much on the developers and the fans, since difficulty is subjective. I imagine some guy managed to make a completely working dwarf fortress on his first try, while someone else dies within a few seconds of playing Pacman. It's all subjective, and that's why it's still vague.
