Gametrak Controller Wins Award

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the insert-dirty-joke-here dept.

Philipp Lenssen writes "According to German Spiegel Online, the Gametrak controller by In2Games just won the "Best of GC" award at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. Cyber-glove Gametrak is announced to launch across Europe next month for the Playstation 2. Once the right software is released (fighting game DarkWind comes first) you should be able to punch opponents, use golf clubs, dance around, and bounce virtual basketballs. A demo video is available."

    There is already a game like DDR that adds hand motions. It's not a bad game, but it gets a little disturbing when 10-20 people are all doing it together (only 2 are actually playing)

      Are you talking about Para, DMX, or EZ2Dancer?

    The next version of DDR will sport integration with eyetoy, and will have modes that incorporate hand motion in concert with the foot steps. check it out

    There are a couple of games kind of like that already: Para Para Paradise and Dance ManiaX. You don't really have to move your feet for them, though. I suppose in combining those with DDR, you'd start having issues with where to put the sensors if you were playing doubles (covering both pads at the same time).
