Warcraft 3 on a multi-touch screen. As in no keyboard and no mouse . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtKkOhMqVhY Do you think this idea would be good for SC/SC2? And yes it's been done for SC. But do you like the idea of touchscreen for Blizzard RTS?
I'm thinking... obscuring my view with my own hands = bad. holding my arms in the air and waving them around for 20 minutes would give me severe arm ache = bad.
play while standing up and you wont get an arm ache anymore and you wont have any problem with obscuring the view
Looks interesting, definitely a new gaming experience. But I wonder whether that is lasting. A friend of mine just told me that such Touch Screens ware off quickly, is that true?
neat as it is, i think the pros would prefer a mouse + kb. moving your hand across a large screen is slower than flicking your wrist. also, hotkeys give you 20 commands on your left hand. better visibility without your hands in the way, too. multitouch seems to be the trendy tech of the day (probably because apple started using it) but it's just trendy. it might be better at some things, but good old buttons are still better for high-speed, quick response situations.
