What games have useless tech tied to them? I'm talking the gameboy printer, the power glove, the steel battalion controller set, the XBOX 360 camera, that roller board from AVGN. Cmon, I know theres got to be more deprecated hardware gimmicks out there.
>>335710432
wii, wii u, all forms of nintendo ds and 3ds
>>335710432
>the steel battalion controller set
There's nothing useless about that's, it's literally the best prop ever AND a foolproof copy protection method that no one will complain about at the same time.
>>335710432
>What games have useless tech tied to them?
literally any game exclusive to consoles
>>335710432
Done both of these things and can literally go into the livingroom and do one of them right now.
>>335710785
I got that piece of shit for Christmas. I was so hyped for it because i thought it was going to be like tony hawk project 8.
>own a gameboy printer and camera
>tfw no paper to printalso I have pictures of my aunt that died 10 years ago
>>335710432
>There are people on this board who never used a VCR
I think it's time for me to leave.

>>335710992
So why console exclusives looks more advanced than PC ones?
>>335710992
I mean more like peripherals and addons.
This thing. Its an exercise bike for the Wii and it only worked with one game.
>>335711339
I can't believe this story you're telling me, it's macabre!
>>335711395
because it's a supercharged PC
>tfw you can drum along to Rock the Dragon.
>>335710676
Agree with Wii and Wii U.
DS/3DS family bottom screen is great when devs use it for sensible things like maps and menu shortcuts.
>>335711358
If you're 18 or older you should have been exposed to VCRs at least once in your lifetime.
>>335710785
I remember the pyramids made of these things at every big box store.
>>335711438
that game better be road rash 3D - bicycle edition
>>335711937
Nes light gun, ahead of its time but only really ever used for duck hunt which was a shit game anyway
But I know what it feels like.

>>335710432
the chain saw controller from resident evil 4
that one basket ball game from NBA where you had to use a actual basketball to play the game
>>335712163I lost an external HDD like that
>>335712163
Jesus, fuck you, that triggers me.
>>335710432
>the XBOX 360 camera
Come on anon, uno on 360 was amazing, you could watch all sorts of crazy shit, like people doing coke, people having sex and children dancing naked
>mfw I still record standard def game footage on VHS tapes because they don't take up harddrive space and the tapes cost basically nothing
>mfw I'm watching a movie on VHS as I'm reading this thread
>>335710432
I own 2 VCRs though
>>335711971
Probably like 15 or 16.
I mean VCRs were prominent until like 2007 right?
>>335710676
Don't forget NX.
>>335712941
No, they were gone from my home in the early 2000s.
Anyone remember Eye Toy? That shit was cool but looking back it's kinda dumb
>>335713072
Woah there Mr richfag!
my old roommate had this, the wii fishing controller thing. it came with some fishing game that i never saw him play a single time.
he had the steering wheel things for mario kart too. i can't remember ever playing that either. i think he bought things just to say he had them.
>>335713156
I'm not rich at all. I actually live in a shithole.
>keep wanting to call it a VHS player now
My childhood is dying
What was that game that came with a dildo?
>>335713072
Yeah you're right. I actually don't remember buying a VHS after I got a DVD player around 2002.
I think I was just watching old VHSs.
Two controllers for Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar Mode. The idea was that you would use the controllers in the game to learn how to play the song in real life.
The top one had a million buttons to simulate the many frets on a real guitar.
The bottom one is an actual goddamn guitar with sensors in the fretboard, and can be plugged into an amp.And one of the DLC songs with Pro Guitar mode was Through the Fire and Flames
>>335713404
Rez?
amazing game, but i had it for dreamcast not ps2. i think the vibrator versions were extremely rare.
>>335710432
Pushing a VHS tape into a VCR is a magical experience.
You slowly guide the VHS tape into the VCR until it starts pushing in, and things are slowly inching deeper and deeper inside until there's a hint of resistance, which with one hard push is overcome, and the tape starts sinking into the VCR on it's own until it's completely inside.
HELP ME FIND SAUCE.
I used to have a motorcycle game, it was a console of its own with just 1 game built it. Kinda looked like pic related only red and more cheap looking.
It had A/V wires that plugged the controller directly to your TV. I believe the graphics were 16bit. Ring any bells to anyone?
>>335712941
The last major VHS tape was released in 06 and the last VCR was 2008. There was some study in 2014 that said well over half of Americans own a VCR. Even today if you haven't at least touched a tape you're some sort of anomaly.
>>335713554
Yes thats it, thanks pham
>>335710432
>tfw ever since my last VCR died sometime last decade I have had no way to record shit I want to watch on TV, and there is no way I am "renting" the only DVR that works with my satellite dish from the company.
>>335713627
It magcally moves away from your fingers.
>>335713531
It makes me laugh how quickly rocksmith came out afterwards and fucking rekt'd that game.RB3 had a way better soundtrack though
>>335713156
PS2's were incredibly affordable DVD players and helped usher in DVD. Just like PS3 with blu-ray, you didn't need to be rich to have the new tech (however PS3 was comparatively lidicrous in price by itself).
>>335713627
Fuck, does anyone have the original post?
The one that equated pushing a VHS tape into a VCR like deflowering a teenage girl?
>>335713739
Just get a TiVo
>>335713739
you can buy your own DVR if you want
>>335710432
>the XBOX 360 camera
I'm thinking of buying one just to mess around with the facecam in rainbow six. They're only like $5

>>335713969

I am pretty sure TiVo doesn't work with my Sat. Didn't last I checked.
>>335711395
>just use some low quality shit for pc and pic some high quality shit for consoles
That image makes no sense. You're opinion is shit and deluded. There's lots of good looking games for pc and console but that logic you are using is so flawed I'd go get tested for autism first.
>>335714059
Dude, late night cable channel shows about haunted shit is fucking awesome. Also Gotham and Lucifer for max comfylarity.
The Eye-Toy.
>>335714214
Its so obvious that he's trolling I think you need to be the one who goes to get tested for autism.
>>335710432
>gameboy printer
Man that thing was near useless and the paper was hard to find but I loved printing shit with it. It was great.
Also still have a vcr in my living room. It has a slot guard in it right now though.
>>335714189
>That's illegal in America
no it fucking isn't, renting a DVR from your cable company is just an idiot tax
>>335711339
You can just get a roll of thermal retail recipient paper and cut it to size
>>335711378
>2 minutes in, guy still talking about all the expensive shit he bought recently
Fuck this
>>335710432
Steel battalion was hype as fuck when I bought it. I thought that was the coolest shit I would ever see. Too bad I was young as fuck and was too dumb to actually get good at the game

Did anyone else invest in laser discs thinking they were the next big thing only to be BTFO by DVD?

Kek, never watched the X-Files but that sounds hilarious.
>>335714498
>getting double-baited
>>335715660
You have no idea how bad it feels man. After DVD, I was so sure that we'd be going back to tapes. I invested a whole bunch of money in HD capable vhs.
>>335712738
Why?
>>335712738
liar or retard.
A 500 HD is cheaper than the equivalent in VHS

Be older, and more social, frogshitter.

As much as PCucks like to brag about power, the audience with powerful PCs isn't big enough for developers to cater too.

All things you can watch online. Hell my mom does that shit these days.
But I remember when I was in my early 20's the last time I really watched tv. This was circa 2008 or so. I reember it was Halloween and my cousins were out taking the kids trick or treating and I was at home with my grandma in the living room watching spooky ghost and monster related shows on the History Channel and my grandma made a super nice steak.
I was so carefree back then. All this shit on my shoulders these days. I used to be happy.
>>335712163
>>335713702
there's a million of those plug and play games of every size and shape with all manner of games
you're on a wild goose chase for something inconsequential
>>335712738
A movie encoded to VHS quality with modern algorithms take next to no space, imbecile.
>>335713627
Why did VHS tapes never have the problems that cassette tapes had? I can't remember ever having a VHS fuck up and have its entire roll come out of the plastic thing but with cassettes that was all too common.
>>335716794
Not him but as a PC user myself there's basically nothing worthwhile.
Star Citizen isn't coming out any time soon,the market is over saturated by crappy indie games, the community sucks now and Modern MMOs have the plague.
Any developer who wants money is gonna head over to consoles now due to the decreased piracy,even now I only use my pc for emulations.
>>335717263
your vcr never at a tape? bullshit.

ok anon
>>335717620
>hundreds of games
that doesn't mean all of them are good, also I thought we were talking about this generation.
I won't lie, PC has a strong catalog of games leading up until around 8-3 years ago when things started getting pretty bad
>>335710432
>tfw had 150 VHS of anime I copied from a bro's DVD collection in 2001
I wish I could go back to when I was 16 sometimes...
>>335711378
Is this akin to Superbit DVDs?
>>335710785
"this thing is full of technology"
>>335717572
Nope never have. Maybe I just listened to more shit on cassette than I did watching stuff on VHS.
>>335710432
Pocketstation for PSX, only know one game that used it, and it is FF8
I spent $500 on a minidisc player and discs. Feels bad
>>335712492
Jokes on you! I did that, twice. The third one I filled with spoons.
>>335719230
Looks like a proto UMD.
>>335719435
That's what it essetially was. I have to give it to Sony - even their failed hardware looks sleek as fuck
>>335719143
R4 did as well. Speaking of Ridge Racer this bad boy. The wheel thing had force feedback.
>>335710432
Emit series and Angelique Voice Fantasy on the Super Famicom use a peripheral called Voice-kun, it sends IR signals to make your CD player play certain tracks during gameplay in order to provide voice acting.

If you don't like modern PC games then you don't like console games either, since there are more multiplats than ever before and multiplats are the top-selling games on consoles.
>>335720229
That's fucking amazing actually.
