Mikami: Motion controls ‘won’t be mainstream for 10 years’

Posted By | On 02nd, Sep. 2010

Creator of the upcoming title, Vanquish, Shinji Mikami says he wasn’t very satisfied with Microsoft’s motion sensing camera, Kinect, and says motion controls aren’t detailed enough yet to be called mainstream.

In an interview with PS3M, the creator of Resident Evil said he doesn’t expect upcoming devices like Kinect and PlayStation Move to have much of an impact on the market.

“I don’t think motion controls will be in the gaming mainstream in the next ten years,” Mikami said. “When the technology gets to the point where you can just flick your eyeballs around and the computer can pick it up, you won’t need a controller anymore. Obviously it’s going to take a while to get there.”

It isn’t like we didn’t say that before…
