The problem is the devs are still going to use gimmicks. I've already seen that in Thief 4 you have to tilt the controller to dash and blow in the mic to snuff out candles, etc.

What's the problem with that? It more closely mirrors the real life action...Or are you so insecure you can't possibly be seen "blowing' at your controller?
Do you get all shy when blowing out your birthday candles?

He's most likely not insecure at all.
Blowing onto a controller is weird, at least with REAL LIFE candles your actually blowing out a flame. It won't really make the game anymore immersive.
PS
With the amount of slavering you do on here I wouldn't let you near my controllers..

That'll be a game to get on PC then, without the silliness.

At least the plastic guitars were fairly accurate (not counting input lag)
I can only speak from the Eye on the PS3 which wasn't the best. It was quite good for basic games but Kinect was without a doubt the better of the two. Kinect allows a much wider range of motion and freedom when gaming.

No, it's just weird.
Who wants to be doing all that motion stuff anyway when you can sit back and relax in a comfy chair with a beer? Little kids, most likely.

You don't want games to be more immersive?
Oh right, "press B to blow out candle" is so much better!
I'll bet you a gazillion dollars that you don't lounge about comfortably when your playing a game, especially online. You'll undoubtedly be sitting hunched forward, arms on legs. You extremely unlikely to be lounging about with your back supported, bear in hand. (I would correct the spelling of this post but ios 7 doesn't let me. Eurghhh).

So please explain how blowing into your controller is more immersive?
I have eyefinity on my gaming rig and I class the additional 2 screens either side of me as adding extra immersion to my gaming experience. It feels like I'm more involved in the game. I do not see how blowing into my control pad can come close to this. It's so retarded it's verging on insulting
Also you refuse to believe people can lounge and play games
He wasn't referring to online but in any case I have played many a game of COD lying back on my bed
The thing about games is that whilst we're directing the character's actions, the character is not supposed to be us. Therefore it does not make the game more immersive to have to take the same actions as our character is taking.
The characters we play are puppets on our strings. Pressing 'B' to have the character blow out a candle is just as valid as waving your arms around or blowing into the mic. And it's certainly less problematic.
In short, no it's not about immersion.

We'll blow me down, when I'm playing a game, I'm of the mindset that I AM the person that I am controlling... I don't think, oh I'm telling Solid Snake where to go, he'll be mad at me if I go the wrong way!
Why do my triggers vibrate when I fire a gun then, if I'm just "controlling the strings". Surely by your logic, that's retarded also?
No ones saying your opinion isn't valid fella.
It'll be in a minority now though, everyone's bored of the happy clapping, wafting and pretending that you are doing banal stuff by doing vague actions that aren’t really relevant.
Both consoles have a camera attachment? Thankfully the PS4 isn't going to force it on us, tho. So we can probably avoid the worst of all these problems.
I feel a bit sorry for the X1 users tho.... they'll need stand on one foot, rub their nose and sing 'Barbie Girl' every time they want to reload

Well it's pioneer2000 anyway so it's most likely regarding Xbox One anyway.
