Now Elden Ring fans are trying to beat the game without touching a controller at all

We've graduated from the days when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring players were trying to beat the game with unusual controllers, or devices that were never inte✃nded to interface with videoꦺ games - now they're doing challenge runs without touching a controller at all.

You might recognize streamer Luality from her previous Soulsborne challenge runs, where 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:she took on Demon's Souls 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:and Elden Ring with a dance pad. But now, Luality herself is the controller - she's set up a motion camera to capture her movements and translate the♔m to in-game actions. She can stick out a leg to move forward, or hold it to the left or right to move in either direction. She's mapped a whistling motion to call Torrent, and a drinking motion to chug a potion.

.

Meanwhile, another streamer named Larxa has been using voice controls to work through Elden Ring, mapping attacks and movement🤡 to commands like 'go' and, uh, 'wombo'. Larxa is now very close to the end of the game using these controls - is live as I'm writing this, and she's now making runs at the game's final boss: the Elden Beast.

PerriKaryal seemingly opened the floodgates for these controller-free runs when she 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:start🌊ed playing Elden Ring with her brain. And, like, these other hands-free gaming exercises are extremely cool - but they're not using neuroscience to play Elden Ring.

Now 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:finally ready to make Armored Core 6.
