This view wasn't based merely off of the internet. Not a single person I've asked has shown any interest in motion-controlled games other than the Wii, whether I ask them the question in the flesh or across the internet.tehroc said:No you just have a large concentration of haters on this forum (what happened to this site, its gotten so hate filled past few months), people that are having fun with these systems are too busy to join in on these little bitchfestsAngloDoom said:I'm mostly out: the Wii is all the 'motion' I need for games. The Playstation and 360 versions are trying to get into an established market with the same idea, but a lot more costly.
I'm no financial wizard, but from the general reaction of the gaming community I've not seen a single person say "I'm totally hyped for this!"
Don't get me wrong, I don't wish to '*****' about the Wii since I have little experience of it compared to other consoles. That said, I've not played a single game on it which I felt was enriched by motion controls outside of the so-called 'casual' games. Mario, for instance, is the flagship of the Nintendo franchise and yet I felt the two Galaxy games would have handled a lot better if I didn't have to flick my wrist every time I wanted to spin rather than just use a button or trigger.
I enjoy some Wii games, but every single time I get into a Wii game all I can think of is "why did I throw my Gamecube controllers away"? Motion controls will only work with games specifically tailored to them; so far that has been a series of 'casual' games which seem to be slowly running out of ideas. Maybe someone will come along and revolutionise motion-controlled games soon, but if it is done I imagine it will be done for the Wii, on the Wii.
EDIT - Amendment timez!
Actually, what I mean to say is that I'm all for progression in the right direction when it comes to motion controls. I just think the direction we're headed now isn't it. Motion control = closest we've come to virtual reality, and I don't think a single person here think VR games isn't pants-wettingly awesome.
