That looks really awkward to use and doesn't interest me. I'll buy the normal version of Portal and use a mouse and keyboard.

Ok.. and let me clear something up for you.ThrobbingEgo said:
Unless you are completely backwards you know exactly what point I'm putting forwards... so stop dragging it off into something else.
Capisce?
Low tech? Considering their facial animation system, from a six year old game, is still the best in the industry?mad825 said:
This also isn't the first time Valve has put out special editions of their game for a hardware manufacturer. Look at Nvidia and Novint.
I must be completely backwards because I don't see the point you're putting forwards. How does paying for one game entitle you to tell Valve what they can't put in other editions of their game?Fumbleumble said:
Well I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.. Thank goodnees I can't get suspended for stuff you admit yourself.ThrobbingEgo said:
Heeey, quoting out of context. And not responding to the rest of my post. Nothing intellectually dishonest about that.Fumbleumble said:
Have a cookie. It's made of hollow, self-deluding victory.
Um, nope. The PC doesn't have anything like these at all. What it does have, is a million and one people figuring out ways to use Wii, PS move, Kinect, etc. as input devices for the pc.Jumplion said:
But as for actual motion controllers made specifically for the PC, there aren't really any yet.
Not that it matters. The demo video disturbs me because it's the worst possible thing you can do with motion controllers; Use them to create 'virtual' buttons.
None of the actions on that video are anything other than direct replacements for standard controller/keyboard/mouse actions.
And if there's one thing I've learned, if motion control is worth using at all, it's only worthwhile when you actually do something with it a controller can't really manage.
And... That requires writing games specifically for it.
Basically, if you can use a traditional control scheme for your game without having major issues, then you're implementing motion control badly.
But you won't, only the people who buy the special edition will get these fancy motion controlled levels in a special edition which will cost more. You aren't being given levels that you cant play, you're paying for the game and co-op in its entirety and not the extra motion controlled levelsFumbleumble said:
I can't play it, but the game I'm expected to pay for is the same game in which someone is getting more for the same price.FallenTraveler said:
Either I'm paying the same for less for someone is paying the same for more.
Either way.. people without the controllers are getting duped.
I don't what the problem is here, everyone is just arguing around my point.. my point is perfectly valid however you want to clasify it.
In the game I'm expected to pay the same for, some people are getting special treatment.. it's not a hard point to grasp and doesn't become any less relevent because everyone wants to call it different things.
But youre getting the same thing, they arent making you pay for the controllers, you will buy the 60$ game, you get what everyone else is getting, and if you pay 40$ or so more, you get extra content and controllers, so youre paying for what you get, what is it you cant play in the normal game that those with motion controllers can play? The motion control game costs more.Fumbleumble said:
I just dont see what your point is I guess :/
I think by hurt less, it is more with the right wrist sitting on a mousepad of a desk for long times, leaving that one spot stationary, then moving the wrist around to control aiming (which can lead to carpal tunnel issues), and the left wrist and hand which is spread about a keyboard, quickly making very repetitious patterns (and stationary wrist again), compared to the generally free floating nature of those hand controls.mjc0961 said:
Call me a buy-in, but I would be willing to give them a shot. They look like they'd be fun to use, at least for a while. A good alternative to dual analog, and they seem to get the job done with minimal exertion. This type of control isn't quite waggling your hands around like the Wii, and who can HONESTLY say they haven't actually wanted to throw the grenade?
Kinect was always a gimmick with me, and I even gave it a shot on the Microcenter display. After a few minutes trying some racing shovelware very unsuccessfully, I dismissed my preconceptions as true and moved on. Same could happen with these.
It sounds too convoluted for me. I'd rather have a load of buttons that are easily accessible rather than doing movements that represent actions.
What happens if you sneeze, cough or yawn? I can take my hands off the keyboard and my mouse may move a little - but what happens if you have these in your hands when playing online for example?
What happens when you play online and the battery for the controllers runs out?
I also don't think that holding your arms out for an extended period of time is comfortable, unless you put a cushion under your forearms and let your hands dangle or something *shrugs*
tl;dr - It's a cool gadget but I don't think it would be overly practical. Still, it's definitely one of the better motion controller concepts.
