Child of Eden – a tech-magical shooter

The gaming industry is, with astonishing regularity, a total circus sideshow of inexplicable oddities — but we’re confident that nothing has approached the levels of bizarritude contained within this here post. According to IGN, Child of Eden creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi announced at the Kapow! Comic Con that developer Q Entertainment has whipped up a unique peripheral for the Kinect shooter: A corset which holds four 360 controllers at one time, all of which individually vibrate to the beat of Eden‘s music.

It sounds like a prototype that’s unlikely to make it beyond the borders of Q Entertainment’s home office — but that doesn’t make it any less magical. We mean, mathematically, it’s four times crazier than Rez‘s Trance Vibrator. Exponentially more so, actually, since the vibrations in question happen inside of a corset.
