Whoa! That looked waaay cool!

Freakin awesome, though it's a bit hard to take it seriously, when it's narrated by Kermit the frog. Still, freakin awesome.

Hey we can't choose our voices.

*Damns his soft voice which apparently sounds like a girl over any kind of electronic device.*

Anyway, yeah that is pretty damn cool. It's a good way to immerse the player even more. Imagine if that desire to tilt your head to look around a corner actually helped you. The setup is cool too, although you wouldn't need the glasses, just a head band with two infrared emitters on either side of the head.

Video: freaking awesome....
Mystic:............cute voice *runs away*

[Snakebite]

That'd make MMO's alot more interactive.
And keep the gaming population skinny :lol:

Some people have funny voices like this guy. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2955958452592530239&q=ecco+the+dolphin+let) I don't know what's wrong with that Johnny Lee guy's voice though. He just sounds american to me.

It's pretty cool but i don't see the target as floating outside of the screen. maybe that's just me though, 3D glasses don't work for me either so maybe it's the same thing.

Yeah, you're some kind of mutant or something. :P

I want to see that with CoH. Could you imagine bullets and energy blasts flying from your monitor?

Someone needs to give him a job.

That came across my mind too.

To clarify a little, he doesn't mean it's floating "outside of" the screen, but with the way it changes in perspective it appears to be floating in front of the screen. In other words, the front target looks like it is closer to you then the screen does.

I don't think anyone assumed that the screen somehow projected a solid into space.
