YOU WILL PLAY HALF LIFE 3 USING A BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE
YOU WILL RISK COMING OUT A RETARDED VEGETABLE






Gabe Newell says brain-computer interface tech will allow video games far beyond what human 'meat peripherals' can comprehend
"The real world will seem flat, colourless, blurry compared to the experiences you'll be able to create in people's brains.
"Where it gets weird is when who you are becomes editable through a BCI," Newell said.
At the moment, people accept their feelings are just how they feel — but Newell says BCIs will soon allow the editing of these feelings digitally, which could be as easy as using an app.
"As soon as you do that, they say, 'Oh, well can we give people a tentacle?' Our brains were never designed to have tentacles, but it turns out brains are really flexible."
"You could make people think they [are] hurt by injuring their tool, which is a complicated topic in and of itself," he said.
Game developers might harness that function to make a player feel the pain of the character they are playing as when they are injured — perhaps to a lesser degree.
