a mouse and keyboard a controller these
are the tools of the gamer but is that
really the best that we can do as a society what if there was something that
allowed for the more immersive and
exciting gameplay experience than anything you've ever experienced before
what if that was a thing well today we
have that thing ladies and gentlemen and other people this is the arcade motion
blaster it's a motion controller shaped
like a gun because you can use it in
games that have guns in them the people at arcades say that this thing can
enable the type of immersive you know
crazy mind-blowing gaming experiences
that you just can't get with a with a mouse and keyboard so we're gonna try it
out today and see whether it's good
Brandon are you excited big gamer huh
you don't play games but maybe if you had this thing if you had this thing
maybe you'd get all the headshots every
time how it works mobile PC and motion tracking all three
of those things that's how it works in case you were wondering it's got a high
high-precision gyroscope low latency Bluetooth haptic feedback moves like
that rechargeable battery I should hope so works with the top PC and mobile games
doom eternal Call of Duty fortnight pub G valor n't counter-strike that's all on
the PC side on the mobile side we got fortnight modern combat shadow got
roblox that's what I'm talking about now
they have like a certain amount of like certified games but they also say that
it should pretty much work with any game we'll put that to the test all right
let's take it out ok whoo all right I
like the feel of it like it is light but
it also I mean I don't it does definitely doesn't have heft to it but
it but it definitely I think maybe it's just the structure that makes it feel
good in the hand you got your phone hole they're here which you can loosen that
and adjust it to your to your liking why
would you want to put it all the way around they can stare death in the face
as you do a 360 no-scope on their on
their butts you saw this you should have seen this coming um so let's put that around there that's
probably where you want it and you can also slide this all along yeah so if you
want to play if you want to play right up in the game like this you can I feel
like I'm there if you want to do that you can or if you want to have it a
little farther back maybe this is like the situation where you have it there
and you're playing a PC game and you're really looking at the monitor but I don't know we're gonna find out looking
more at the physical device here we got a joystick X Y Z buttons over here
trigger here and then you have these buttons which I believe are the movement
buttons so I think this is gonna be forward and this is gonna be back and
then this is strafing side to side right
and left but I guess like if you're holding it like this it's kind of like
that's your regular joystick looking around on a controller and then this
would be your you know what I mean the two sticks alright anyways over here
we got a whole plethora of buttons a plethora of buttons abcdefgh so I'm
assuming you can like remap these arcade has given me instructions for how to set
this up because I don't think this is actually fully out for anyone to just
buy yet so we're gonna we're gonna test it out here first let's get it pair it
up to my to this phone so power button
ooh pretty lights green work and blue
RGB baby we are what does that mean is
that what that might mean it's pairing and we are connected okay shadow gun
wargames here we go I'm gonna I'm gonna start the game okay they got some for
tonight for tonight dances very cool
very cool this seems like a game for young and hip cool people
okay so yet indeed these these buttons are back and forth so you gotta get used
to using though I think I have to stand up Brandon Brandon I need freedom don't hold me
back oh no bad guys okay I got a kill
oh it's tracer it's not tracer I got
killed I got killed somehow but I already got a kill with it so like this
is this is look around but also the joystick is the left joystick is also
look around so I guess that's how if you if you like it if your motion gets
knocked off then you can like correct it that way so like if I do this now I'm
looking straight but my gun is looking down but maybe I just deal with that you
know maybe it doesn't really matter it definitely takes some getting used to
like I will say because I am still getting used to it also this mobile game
and a lot of mobile games have it set to like automatically fire when you mouse
over or you know your cursor goes over a bad guy so it's it's a little confusing
because I'm trying to to play this and get some like precision headshots but
you know it's firing for me and I'm like don't fire yet I want to woah what is
this game is this a game that people play like there are people who are good
at this game maybe they're playing with arcade motion blasters too and they have
more practice I would definitely like to see them put in a little bit more
development towards like making it one to one because if you're playing a game
like the whole point of having precision aim is so that you can kind of like do
this and have that track to your movements in game but right now it's
like it's more like this is just a big joystick where to go left you move it
left but that doesn't translate to exactly 45 degrees like the turn that
you did it's more like do this for a little bit and he'll turn left for a
little bit okay so that's enough of that I'm gonna try 49 now the classic it's
giving me it's giving me the on-screen controls like the touch controls sorry
but I don't need them lock and load
okay so now I have to press a to jump it's the first time that I'm I have to
use a button oh gosh I have to jump er I'm gonna be stuck in the party bus I
don't want to be the last one to the party you can also do it by like
recalibrating that way cuz it's it's definitely not one-to-one I'm this might
be a little bit worse than war games Shadowgun wargames what am I doing here
I looked down so far that the screen
reversed I'm gonna die so fast Oh bad guy oh okay and I want to adjust
my view of it am I going the wrong way I am like it's definitely cool like it's
definitely this is definitely a cool experience and I'm enjoying it it's more
intuitive than you know a noob who would pick up a controller for the first time
and just be like what am i doing like you look left you look right that's
that's how you do it but it's still you still have to spend some time to get
used to it and honestly the biggest thing to get used to is the movement
mechanics like left and right with your thumb like this
and forward and back with your like middle finger and pinky or maybe you can
just like adjust your your grip like that I don't know I mean it's it takes
some getting used to and see if I can get one more kill and then or or get
killed myself Oh Brandon I never thought
I would get kills in this game for real that's amazing I loved for tonight Linus
I'm getting kills in mobile for tonight you know what I take back what I said
about this being kind of janky because I who am a complete fortnight noob like I
played some pub G I played a little bit of for tonight for like benchmarking for
a video before but like I have not played mobile for a night at all and I
have gotten how many kills is that three or four kills that's ridiculous
okay well the verdict for fortnight is
good for this thing okay time to try this thing on PC but before we do that I
got to tell you about our sponsor display metal prints they have over
800,000 unique designs and they're magnetic mounting system decreases the
risk that you're gonna damage your walls and LMG even as some of our own designs
on the platform right now so use code circuit to get 15% off through the link
below today okay so what we just did
connecting via bluetooth is the way that you would use this just with your PC
without streaming it to your phone but if you want to stream the game
to your phone so you can look at this you're streaming your PC game to this
and you're like moving around all the way 360 like that then you want to use
their special app called space disk so okay I'll try a PC game without space
text here we go see now this I did I
automatically see that this is a problem because I can only look one direction I
mean I guess I oh I can do this and scope all the way around hmm this might
be better than I thought it was I'm doing this and it's like it's like a
mouse eye there is almost zero latency
from what I can tell I mean it's a Bluetooth peripheral so obviously
there's gonna be some latency but like I'm not seeing a ton die oh what
difficulty is this son it's a bit awkward because you know I'm not aiming
like where I want to aim but that would
be solved by streaming the game to the phone and then I could be like looking
where I'm aiming so I feel like I want to do that this is kind of interesting
it's like it's basically like holding a mouse that you control by like moving
around like that aha I'm not gonna talk about all of the
technical issues that I just dealt with in order to get to this point but we're
here I'm streaming a PC game to my mobile device I'm controlling the mouse
with the arcade motion blaster so suffice to say there were some technical
issues they have a document telling you how to deal with them but here we are I
just want to play some games so here we're gonna do it so now I'm spin all
the way around and I can see how this goes let's look for some bad guys what
do I do there's definitely latency there's
definitely choppiness yeah there's just maybe a little too there's just maybe a
bit too many yeah there's too many
variables the motion blaster is connected to my PC via bluetooth the PC
is streaming via Wi-Fi to my phone this
thing's not connected to my phone I wonder if that would be better if like
your the blaster was connected to the phone and then that was serving as the
controller going through the Wi-Fi connection for the game stream suffice
to say that this particular setup where
this is connect to the PC your PC streaming to your phone via Wi-Fi is not
the best way to use this oh and we got disconnected so that's a good place to
stop guys what to say about this I mean
it's definitely cool PewDiePie backed it I think PewDiePie has like a special
bundle that you can get with this it's definitely fun like if you're the type
of person to to get something and you want to fiddle around with it and like
tinker and things like that there's definitely a lot of potential here for
really cool experiences but if I was to
tell you that it's something you can just pick up and immediately have the
best experience with ever that's not
true it definitely takes some fiddling I will say with their suggested games that you
try on on Android it's pretty much plug and play and I think the best time that
I had with this thing in this whole video was fortnight right I got like
four kills dude yeah Edda at the end of the day this definitely takes some work
to get used to and I don't know whether
the industry will want to you know
adjust to this when we've got pretty decent method of control already
