The USB Game Controller & Future Developments In This Area

Posted in: Miscellaneous

The face of gaming has changed much, not only in the last decade, but even in just a year or two. It wasn't so long ago, that we were sitting close to our TVs, hard wired to our gaming machines via our controllers. We waited many years for companies to come out with cordless controllers that weren't a bulky, clunky generic rip off, we wanted the real deal.

We ultimately got it, and before we knew it, we were being sold controllers that you had to simply move or point at the screen! The technologies seemed to exceed the wants of the consumer, and now was waiting on consumers to catch up. The PC game controller always seemed to be highly advanced in the mid 90s and early 2000s, but it always had to be pushing itself with titles like flight simulators and the likes.

The USB game controller was always spot on and easy to program to work on any game you wished, but somehow always came across as a job only for nerds. PC gaming controllers needed to step back a bit, and think about home consoles for a bit of help. Its only when this happened that games began to flourish on the whole spectrum of gaming. All of a sudden Xbox controllers that could be used with PC's made gaming so much more appealing and open to the mass gaming community.

Suddenly everyone is playing FIFA Soccer or NFL Madden on non specific gaming machines around the globe. And it didn't just work one way, with the help of non specific gaming machines, home consoles became Internet ready and harnessed the power of online gaming, the once highly guarded fence of the PC was now changing the landscape of home gaming forever.

Who knows what the next a few years will bring? Will the computer companies surpass user wishes and needs yet again? Will it be all free from controllers - gaming like the latest Xbox Kinetic system or will we have chips in our brains and just close our eyes and watch as the game unfolds in our minds? Who knows, but one thing is certain, exciting times lie ahead of us!
