I think interactivity is good up to a certain point, and I think we've almost reached that point now. When I play a game I want to actually push a button(and have it feel that way), and not do the thing I want my character to do in real life. Virtual reality is fun and everything, and can be usefull for realistic simulations, but I just don't think it would go with games very well. If I want to shoot with a bow, I don't want to start up my Wii and play Twilight Princess or Wii Sports Resort, but shoot an actual bow, not a virtual substitute. Games should stay games, and not become some strange copy of real life in which you can just do crazy things.
Also, during the lunch break today, my friends and I had this "fun" idea (we were talking about the 3DS):
A suit which gives shocks which translates in game events into "real" feelings. Along with taste and smell and whatnot. We imagined playing Call of Duty or Modern Warfare with that, and once Super Smash Bros came up... Let's just hope something like that will never exist. We all watched the Matrix and we know what can happen if such things are created (ok, not really, but still). Also, during physics our teacher actually told us that you can generate energy with the magnetic particles within your body. Glad I'm immune to nightmare fuel.
