I really enjoy full body immersive games, like on the wii. Where you actually have to move and coordinate your motions to achieve results. I think the next big thing is going to be motion-controlled games while wearing VR headsets (Or better yet with hologram projections) to really feel like you are in the game and interacting. I hate that it is taking so long, but understand how difficult of a task this may actually be. It would involve a lot of data to be able to look at a virtual world from any perspective (Standing, crouching, etc) and then have to track all body movements to understand that a character is trying to jump or climb, but I don't think it should be impossible. What are some of your favorite games? As far as motion-controlled I like the wii sports games (Even if they are lacking in graphics), but as far as immersive games I enjoy things like Crisis 3 or Batman: Arkham Knight.
There are games like this already just not in production for the typical home game user. What will be cool is to get a good sweat from using full body motion. There would need to be a pause built into games because some addicts might drop from exhaustion - they already do that with couch potato games.
