That's a pretty bold statement there. But if I was the rift devs I'd look to leverage the system on both consoles (and maybe even the wii-u)Quote:

Unfortunately nothing too interesting, the lack of feedback + the impossibility of 3D movement would ruin the imersion a lot more than using a controller. That new threadmill + a suit with feedback though (EDIT: + kinnect)? *drools*.Quote:

Kinnect + controller could work, controller for normal play, voice+gestures to give commands to squad mates. Other than that, not much use. Having to take your hands off the controller to do silly gestures would ruin immersion, and "kinnect games" and the rift don't mix.
You can already get insane precision using two regular kinnects, one thing that could come out of all of this would be the next generation of arcades, designed for total immersion (soundproof rooms, threadmill, rift, pressure suits). It would be paintball without all the bruising.
