Games have already changed the world. The key thing is just to excersise daily, don't just sit in front of the TV/Computer screen all day.

 

Sure, games like Eyetoy Play and Wii Sports get you excersise, but its more fun playing with proper people and instead of hurting someone playing Madden 08, go do it in real-life, its a lot more fun.

I play games to relax and unwind, so no - I don't want to be "really" playing tennis in my own living room. When I want to play tennis, I'll actually go and play tennis.

 

I'd rather play virtual tennis with an analogue stick than a Wiimote.

hear hear go out and do the real thing, real life experiance cant be beat. How anyone can sit for hours playing games i dont know, it does your head in as well as your eyes. The only argument for things like wii fit is it will get real lardys who are too embarest to go to the gym to do some god damnd exercise, so im sure it will have some positive benefits

hmm interesting thought.....

Indeed they will but right now devs are still adjusting to the ps3 hardware. Give it a few years and then the great games will come out like they did with the PS2.

EA are plannig World Domination!!!!   I wouldn't be surprised if they owned         Area 51!!!

Don't tell me EA are releasing a free weights video game

psn id: gingo... i like playing sports, going to the gym and generally keeping myself fit so its not an area i would look for while playing a game, i use games to relax so the only workout i will be getting is my brain

the Devil might be on to something here, maybe in 10 - 12 years we'll finally see a better use of Virtual Reality games that take use of the wii or head tracking of the Eye toy like in that demo we saw not too long ago, or maybe even something more advanced. i still think he's the devil.

Spell check.  Anyways.  Ya I agree but (I don't think you can say h.e.l.l.o) h.e.l.l.o that already happened, and it still is.

fcuk the mainstream

Peter Moore is lame. I think Wii fit is lame. Why do you need a stupid board to do push ups on? When you can just do it on the ground. The Wii shouldn't even be considered a console anymore. What's the bigger evil, the Wii or the 360?

Always knew EA would try to destroy the hardcore aspect of video games

I'm not sure about video games having a more physical impact on people...the Wii might have a physical impact because of the motion sensing, but not hardcore consoles like the PS3 and 360.

 

However, I  think that video games will continue to have an increased mental impact on gamers because most video games actually require you to think and use your brain to get past certain situations. So many people still have this image of video games being for "kids" or playing video games is "immature", but they fail to remember that video games are way more realistic than they were 15 years ago and video games just aren't for kids, they are for grown ups and adults as well.

 

However, I don't agree with the need for more mainstream games. It would be great if China and India could get more into the gaming market, but the large majority of people in China and India can't even afford a PS3.... India and China are pretty much the cheap labor capitals of the world for big companies that produce goods.Only the more wealthy people in China and India can afford a PS3.

 

China and India both have populations of over 1 Billion people in each country and if they were a bigger part of the gaming industry, the movie industry would be nothing compared to video gaming right now.

 

And I definanlty don't want to see video games go down the mainstream path... that's the Wii's job and Nintendo's job, they can make all the mainstream crapware they want and get rich off of it. Most Mainstream games like Wii Fit are for casual gamers, and I'm a Hardcore gamer 100%.

i agree. games already have. I mean, the army practices with games [not video games, but VR]. I had a buddy in the army and he told me he had to do some VR stuff to control a rocket launcher. Sounds rediculous, but it's true.

I'll tell you what... I was playing Wii Sports with my buddy's 9 year old last week and my arm hurt for 2 days like I had gotten a workout!

AclayPS3 people in china can afford a ps3 but im not so sure about India though because people in china work hard.Last week i saw a news about ppl in china like they r like smart and wealthy no they r not cheap labor it is because of american that they dont put alot of effort in it like duhh.Peter Moore your games r like cra** every year no matter how hard u try its is still cra** thats y i never bought EA games at all lmao!!! have fun with your cra*** games

I agree with Mr. Moore. Unfortunately coming from EA I don't think he has much room to talk. Maybe he can "fool" these "billions" of new gamers that his games are good.

Now he's making predictions! "Anything" could happend in twelve years. Give it a rest Moore... and games do not take the place of real exercise.

I knew some one who threw their arm out playing the Wii, and the doctor said that he has had countless injuries from the Wii system.  To the article it self no, I think video games are just entertainment, like a movie, and people need to do real activities and not sit infront of the TV/Computer all day.  I like Video Games, but doing nothing eles would be a sad life.

i agree
