1234321 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 You like saying 'Respect the GRIN' dont you? Ok well anyways i dont really like that tracker thing, it looks too confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reb Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I like the idea, but i don't like the way they have made it. I rather see glasses as screen then. Because now, when you turn your head left, ingame it goes left, but your monitor is still infront of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane snyper Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) It would take some getting used to, but its definetly a good idea. It might be better implemented with some new kind of controller for the left hand, or maybe some sort of a trackball mounted on a mouse (though I do hate trackballs). Edit: Or possibly one of those virtual reality helmets, though they need to up the resolution and such on those to make them any good for pc games.

Not only that but the sensitivity can be adjusted through all six degrees of movement. You could for instance peek around a corner with your back to the wall.

GhostSniper Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Armed Assault when it is released will have the support for this device built in... Cant be a bad thing.... Respect the GRIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent_op Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Track IR device is actually quite nice. For the most part it's really good for driving and flight sims. I'm very curious about how Armed Assault will use it. It may not actaully be used for controling your solider. Armed Assault may use it for vehicles. silent_op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pangbang Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Would u use the mouse or keyboard to adjust the view? cause if u do then thats gonna be a bit to many buttons and stuff, i think i can live without that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then wear a special tracking cap with a small three prong arm attached to it. When you move your head the view changes accordingly, so for instance if you lean forward then tilt your head down say to look over a low fence then the view will do likewise. It is really very neat. I really do hope GRIN sometime in the future could maybe intergrate it into GRAW. Respect the GRIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangbang Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 wow sounds good didnt think there was anything like that out , but hey i will be happy even if they dont implement it , maybe in a addon or next version of ghost recon is fine, u cant have everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Tracker ir, and dual monitor suport should be standard in any games by now . I would love to have the comand map up and running in real time on my second monitor. Thats just icing really, but still its one of those things I wish all game devs would do already.

If a gamer has the option to buy equipment that he can utilize to improve his/her gameplay, its fair.... Its not unfair that in flight sims some use a dinky $10 flightstick while others use pro 100+button ultra real flight sticks. Its not unfair that some use a speed pad, its not unfair that some have a better connection than others,its not unfair that some have graphic card than can run the game better, and its not unfair if some use 2 monitors or tracker ir.

smokin Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 IMO it even fair in a competative environment. In the end all these gadget are, are tools(toys), not unfair advantages. Its the player behind the tool that can make it work or not. I can still use my dinky $20 to take down quite a few pilots in IL2, im betting more than a few had some MUCH better sticks. I think its best left for the ones hosting the comptition to decide whats fair or not. Game dev should suport ALOT of options in a dedicated server to accomidate the many POVs and style of compitition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostSniper Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 So how about it BO. would you consider looking at this device for possible intergration into GRAW if not soon then in the future, maybe included as a patch in a expansion pack or something? I mean you have obviously thought a lot about body awareness but i think this would improve environment awareness no end. I know armed assault will be coming out with intergration of this device. From what i heard it improves a persons ability to survive immensely in an hostile environment. Congrats on popping the champagne by the way. You all certainly deserved it after listening to us on this forum constantly telling you what we would like to see in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigworm Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) has anyone been able to setup your current trackir with GRAW for peek or stance change? I don't know if the newer trackir software supports key emulation based on zones but I was thinking it would be cool if I could at least peek left/right or change stances up/down ect with trackir. curious if its possible now without it being implemented.
