Remember that RedneckTechie and his insanely great GameGun idea? Well, he's back with another "slick" demo video, along with some news for us: he's putting together a retail version that will be ready by Christmas. The gun will also be compatible with Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Windows and a plug-and-play device. We're incredibly short on details, and the pre-order page isn't live just yet, but if Mr. Redneck can pull this off, we're gonna fall all over ourselves to nab one no matter what the price is. New vid is after the break.

Details Here

I know this has probably been posted before in one way or another, but now its going 'retail' I wanted to set up a discussion about it.
Personally I love the idea, not as it is, but because I can see this as a great developement in its infancy.
If the screen was maybe a projector, great. Or more refinement on the gun itself, wonderful. These are things that will likely come if a company buys the idea and goes for mass production. Lighter screen, better batteries, a cable option. Stuff like that.

Now I just want to say that personally, this isnt the way I would go. In my opinion what FPS gaming really needs right now is those VR headsets to look around, and a seperate gun controlling your crosshairs on your screen (with lots of buttons on the gun for movement etc). This is the combination that would work out best I think.

Discuss!
 
I feel Mr.Redneck is going to be Mr.Rich very soon. Could be an amazing product with some more adjustments. Although it isn't very assuring that he died at every attempt a few seconds in, maybe its harder to control than it seems.

Would be pretty bad ass on l4d killing all the zombies with it but i would feel kind of stupid doing it also i mostly play at night so not a very good thing for me.:/
 
Load of crap it looks. Can imagine somone walking round the front room doing that, and some nosy git calls Police saying you have a gun & are waving it around the house:D
