I have a pretty good imagination, so I'm sure I can figure it out. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looked like WC2 to me. Although I didn't really look very close.

interesting.

but from a professional gamers viewpoint this would seem to slow. i think even if they perfected this technique you could never outperform a player that is using the mouse.

if however they managed to make a gesture-only system that could work ~ but only if it enabled you for very fast controll of a lot of single units at once.
this however would require the game to be build a certain way as it would have to process several commands at the same time - or in a much faster fashion.


another aspect is that verbal commands are NOT a good way to controll a game. actually, when playing it is in most cases best to avoid even thinking verbally if you are aiming to give a good performance. issuing orders according to language processing in the brain is just to slow.
just imagine you'd be thinking
"w w a d d s d d d d w d" while playing quake :olo:

Nope, that's WC3. You can tell immediately by the toolbar being on the bottom (was on the left in WC2).

Also, there's the case of it being completely 3D.

I didn't click the link, I never played the game, yet the mental image of this made me laugh.
