    dr00g911, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?

    He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, almost 100 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to corporations. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Corporate infiltration, Corporate indoctrination, Corporate subversion and the international Corporate conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

    This is a VERY old diagram. It shows how the design was intended 3 years ago.

    If your going to cite diagrams, use one from the actual product. http://audivolv.com/emotivEpocMindReadingHelmet.jpg

    As for previous comments on "conductive goo", the emotive epoc uses felt pads with a saline solution for conductivity. If you will notice, the owner and lead researchers are both women with thick, long hair and they have no problems using the device.

    Linux support is in the works (Read: Drivers are under development); however, since their target is gamers, this is not their priority at the moment.

  16. Re:Makes me wonder... on Lair Review · · Score: 1

    yes. Warhawk for example uses the motion control. IMHO warhawk nailed it with flight controls. Motion control plus two joysticks, one for aiming and the other split into two functions.
    The aiming is absolute stick position.
    On the other joystick, left/right is rudder control. Up and down are 180 loops (Pull up till your facing behind you). The loop only happens one the joystick is at 100% top or bottom.

    In expert mode, the plane does not auto rotate to UP.
    Weapon select is on the D-PAD so you are not loosing mobility to select a different weapon, instead you are loosing aiming.

    This problem seems to be squarely on the shoulders of the game developers.

    I have noticed the motion controls are very sensitive on some games and you don't have the option to turn down the sensitivity. When the sensitivity is turned all the way up, sharp movements are not registered and it makes me think they [LAIR Designers] overlooked this aspect of game input design. If in Warhawk you turn up the sensitivity, yes you can violently thrust the control in a direction, but at the end of the motion, you have to bring it back to a normal gaming position, and most games will read that as an override to the action your just slung your control out of your hands for.

    If the game is as bad as this and other reviews, why would a game studio put out something to place marks against their reputation. If it was pressure from Sony, then the responsible party for placing that pressure should admit defeat and do what a Honorable Japanese Fellow does when he faces defeat.

    My money is that there will be a patch to eventually fix this problem. At this point in the game of developing a market for the PS3, Sony really needs to have a Quality Control team properly review each title before it gets out of the development phase. They can ill afford bad press like this.

    Don't give me something that isn't polished, cleaned, and doesn't require me to grow 6 extra fingers to operate. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work and should never be boxed, wrapped, copied, printed or reviewed until your get it right.

    This is the same as having ignition interlocks on automobiles in response to a DUI The ignition interlocks do not require you to replace your car with a supported model. They do not require you to replace your car's control computer with a model supported by the interlocks. They are installed and paid for by the enforcing body and there are many different certified brands and types. Farmers are not required to install them on their tractors either but those are allowed on the roads. Exceptions are made depending on the circumstances.

    If you are sent to prison, internet access is supplied by the state. Computers are supplied by the state. Operating Systems are supplied by the state. Electricity, water, A/C, and food are supplied by the state.

    If they force him to use a particular OS, the OS and quite possibly the computer should be supplied by the state for the duration of the sentence. It might be the go cart of computers running windows ME, outdated and thrown out of a judges office after 6 years of service with 3 inches of dust, but it still should be supplied by the state.

    On another note, this type of monitoring should be a network device, not a piece of software.
