“I still find the mouse to be one of best input devices ever made but it’s not very comfortable for the living room environment. I think that addressing the inputs would be one of the few things I would look at from the technology side.”

But surely new control schemes like the DualShock 4 for the PS4, with the new touchscreen and lightbar, would present some remedies? “Yeah, I mean stuff like that might not be one solution for a number of different things,” states Wright.

“I feel like the amount of data that we have coming out of these games with the rendering and the visuals is tremendous now, and it’s improved thousand-fold from when games started. But the input going back into the computer has only just barely crept up a little bit, in terms of the number of bytes we’re inputting back into the game.”

While “emotional” input looks the way to go, Wright believes that “it’s probably going to be a hybrid of all these things and probably a lot of it is going to end up being on the software side.”

“I think these motion controllers have amazing potential for shooters, but perhaps not in the way people might immediately think (i.e. controlling motion),” Wedgwood told CVG.

“Perhaps we’ll think about that in the future, but we don’t have any plans for implementation in Brink.”

CVG speculated Wedgewood could be hinting at using Brink’s SMART system. When asked about the said system, Wedgewood said, “The idea is really straightforward. When you’re in combat and you want to get somewhere in the game world, you hold down your SMART button (which doubles as a sprint button) and it will help with jumps, vaults, mantling, sliding, and so on, allowing you to easily navigate any obstacles in your path.”
