When will Wii games start using this brilliant idea?

Third person shooters wouldn't work as well as their first person counterparts. Nifty frickin' idea, though I doubt anything soon if at all.

Actually it wasn't. Bloom Blox was going to have that as a hidden feature, but it was taken out.

I don't know when they'll start...it would probably help if some sort of LED hat or visor or whatever was released in mass quantities for use in this manner so that there would be a standard "head-mounted sensor bar" for use in such games. The other issue is that despite the fact that head-tracking systems have been available specifically for use in games for several years already (TrackIR in particular), few game developers bother to implement support for the things (probably because a device like the TrackIR costs at least the price of three Wiimotes new). It would probably take a major initiative from Nintendo before any Wii developers give head tracking any serious consideration. Anyway, I'm not so sure that I'd want to play RE4 with head tracking...it would just seem a bit weird in third-person. However, it could easily work in FPSs-in fact, Armed Assault already has TrackIR Enhanced support, so you can see how head tracking could be implemented in this genre.

Only 5 sites? You'll have to show me more proof than that. ;)

But I guess that post wasn't as random as I thought. :P

Did you also know or 'no' I didn't just find out about this? Just because I asked when it would be implemented into games doesn't mean I just watched the video for the first time 5 minutes ago.

Nice try though.
