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.

Tetsuya Mizuguchi should stop designing games. Seems all he really is trying to get is a good masseuse.

Well it's not like most gamers would be able to fit in a corset anyway. I really can't see the market for it.

Ridiculous peripheral or not, I'm very excited for this game. It looks like the first serious release to utilize the Kinect.

Setting up 3 spare controllers to vibrate along with Rez was actually pretty fun. Surround sound+large HDTV+vibrating chair+drugs=OMG I AM MADE OF MUSIC.

Hahaha...
"Surround sound+large HDTV+vibrating chair+drugs=OMG I AM MADE OF MUSIC."
That equation deserves to be proudly displayed on the front of a t-shirt...

@JBourne Get a Buttkicker for your chair/couch. I have a couple and they're waaaay better than regular old rumble for music. It feels like you're riding the bass like a rollercoaster when under the proper influence.
But the controller idea is still cool because each of them can have a different beat and pattern.

Jesus, Mizuguchi...
I'm sure the follow-up will come packaged with some sort of battery-operated vibrating face-mounted dental dam...

Think of the amazing things this guy could invent if he'd just quit videogames and go work for Tenga.

Why use corset when you can use DUCT TAPE?

@Anticrawl - Oh, that does make more sense doesn't it.
Umm...umm...well, duct tape would rip out your hair, and hurt like hell. That, my good man, is why you use a corset.
...Good day sir.
