MS’s Phil Spencer: motion control ‘should become a part of gaming’
Kotaku recently sat down with Microsoft’s Phil Spencer to have a bit of a chat about the forthcoming motion controllers and what consumers can expect from them. Spencer, for one, is very optimistic about motion controllers’ future saying we will most likely seeing them accompany consoles in living rooms everywhere.
Below is a quote from Spencer regarding his stance on the subject:
“Much like with multiplayer, I think it will become the norm. If you are a racing game without multiplayer the game just didn’t sell. We think that motion control, we think voice recognition, should become a part of gaming as well.”
While I agree, motion control is definitely the future (showcased by the Wii’s success) I don’t know how fast the generation of gamers who grew up with a normal control will move on. For instance, playing Halo with Project Natal? Sounds like a nightmare to me.
