Playing half-life with a wiimote.

wiimotes taking over [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asY_I8y6C0M&feature=recommended]
Just found that on youtube and it made me wonder why anyone would do that.

 

[DeathSnake]

i would say that is practically un-playable, useless and just a stupid thing to do, i have a wii (dont ask) and i find it hard enough to play wii games with the wiimote never mind HL

wii-mote + gravity gun = me excited.

edit: disregard that, in my excitement I thought you woudl fling the wiimote to throw stuff, but no, its a button press....

The Wiimote is potentially awesome for FPS... at least I thought so until I tried Red Steel.

This is pretty stupid, I'd think. But a question I'm wondering: Why in the world didn't he use the nunchuck?

I played that at my friends house, he was adamant i'd think its the shits, I was like... dude why is my characters hand broken?

Really? I thought the controls were pretty good.

Metroid prime 3 proved the wii can handle an FPS really well if the sensitivity gets tweaked just right

 

[RheynbowDash]

that would be awesome if it was actually playable...

 

[Theo Samaritan]

It would be awesome if it wasn't essentially a tilt controller rather than a proper 3d point. It is also very slow to respond.

 

[klarr]

i guess if the game was too easy and you wanted to ratchet up the difficulty by making the controls harder.

I kept having the problem of trying to aim at someone on the edge of the screen, only to have it pan over and mess up my aim.

 

[Strong Intelligent]

The fact that it's a non-nintendo addon puts me off.

 

[Souplex]

Why get half-life on a perfectly good wiimote?

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

Why does anyone do anything?

Because they can.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Mouse > Wiimote

 

[NoDamnNames]

Wii + FPS = Wiimote through my tv

 

[Uberjoe19]

Half-Life was, is, and always will be an awesome old PC game best played on PC.

I agree with the person who said "mouse>wiimote" and I'm a console player. The wiimote is a gimmicky piece of junk. sorry wii lovers...

I only really use my Wii to surf the web when my comp's on the fritz, but if that happens I usually use my iPod touch when my laptop's going batshit.
