Poll: Game Controls - Do We Really Want Motion Sensoring?

[Hurr Durr Derp]

Where's the option for "different controls work for different games and variety is a good thing"?

 

[craftyfirestorm]

all three are good in different situations
mouse+keys are good in games that require aiming (FPS, some TPS)
controllers are good on fixed cameras (other TPS , fighting games , racing games)
motion sensors are mainly just good for gimmicky games like the wii sports games and rayman raving rabbids and rail shooters such as the house of the dead games. all though red steel was the one good serious wii game i have played and i think i know why. the makers of red steel didnt use gimmicks the used the motion sensors practically (i.e they didnt make you try to throw a grenade by imitating a throw they just gave you a grenade button and also they only used simple motions like a quick downward flick of the nunchuck to pick up a weapon)

no we DONT want it its funny and good when done right but its anoiing when its used as the main form of controle in a game controlers are the standard for over 20 years (posibly longer) so why fix what isnt broken

If we follwed that line of logic, all games would still be 8-bit 2-D affairs. Change is necessary for the medium to evolve. Also, use proper punctuation and capitalization.

sorry about evolution maybe you are right, the technology now is still to young if you look at it that way

The tech is young, but it's already improving. With Motion+ now available, there's more fidelity for motion than ever before. And it's absolutely fantastic (seriously: If you own a Wii, go get Resort or Tiger Woods '10 with Motion+. Great games).
