That said there were some bits in TP where the motion sensor failed, like where you had to use the nunchuk to deflect with your shield. But yes, using the clawshot was great fun.FrndlyMisanthrpe said:
Poll: Are motion controls killing gaming?
- Thread starter bouncymike999
- Start date
depends, if devs can know when to use motion control and when not to. im kinda neutral on it, what with owning a 360 and a wii and growing up with the NES onward
yes they are,
for example the crappy six-axis controls on the playstation 3, i hate them and they break the game, looking at you killzone 2

Motion controls do a great job of getting new audiences to play games. This is a good thing, no matter what the so-called 'hardcore' gamers say. They'll just have to accept that their hobby is no longer limited to a small group of nerds. Of course your gaming grandma probably doesn't play much else than WiiSports, but eventually even they will try out other things, and the fact that even the US president owns a gaming console can only be positive for the perception of gaming in general.
Most gamers are fat, motion controls make fat people move. Fat people that move too much have heart attacks and die.Flying-Emu said:
That, and he said it makes people LOOK like retarded monkeys. And it really does make you look stupid to be swinging at nothing acting like you're playing baseball or boxing when for the amount of effort you just put into that game you could be out playing baseball or boxing.
I played saints row 2 with motion sensor(before i found out how to turn it off) it was so fucking annoying in the helicopters and the boat controls were just horrible.
What noo, have we not been waiting for motion control for years and sure it's basic at the moment but how is that any different from the graphics of yesteryear that relied on imagination to make their 16 pixel sprites but now look at the current state of graphics
Give it time
Give it time
Not realy for these here:
PS3: Most games are not designed to the motion sensor, half of those that I played had the option to turn it off.
Wii: The console system itself is built in terms or ergonomics and fun.
XB360: Just no. It should NOT incorporate Motion sensor. Its like there getting desperate and trying to swab hardware from Nintendo and Sony. (And my opinion will not change that the XB360 has the worst Hardware i've seen in a console. My N64 is more stable then it.)

You're kidding, right? Have you ever actually played a motion-control game? They're not rigorous at all, and anyone who views it as legitimate exercise needs to get a serious reality check. Playing Wii Boxing is nothing even close to the strenuous nature of actual physical boxing.asinann said:
The amount of effort you put in? Yeah, it's a little more effort. But for some people, it's more immersive (Spelling?) to swing a Wii-Mote like a sword instead of just PRESS X TO NOT DIE.
Just because you don't like something that's catered more towards 'casual' (and I use that term very, very sorely) does not mean the Armageddon of Gaming (Armagaming?). The OP needs to grow up and realize that his precious Halolz will not be harmed by the advent of motion-control, and that the gaming world is not his oyster to whine and ***** at whenever a different coloured pearl is formed. There will be motion control games, whether you like it or not. They will sell like candy, whether you like it or not. If you don't like the games, don't buy them.
Cause guess what? That means you don't support them.
Pretty much what's said by Flying-Emu in the quote above.Flying-Emu said:
Motion controls aren't killing gaming.
Lack of quality control for games released for consoles or games getting overly rushed to meet deadlines...
This is harming the appeal of gaming for newer and older gamers alike.
Edit: I recommend looking at post 75 above, Flying-Emu makes some other good points there.
No, it's actually a fantastic oppertunity. Problem is, a lot of developers don't use it properly. It's getting better though. Take The Conduit, a Wii exclusive FPS. It's been hailed for it's amazing use of the Wiimote, especially the fact that you can customise your controls a LOT. I wonder why it took so long for something that simple (making your own control scheme) to sink through, but better late then never.

Actually, I didn't really mean that, was half kidding. While it is true that most gamers are too narrow minded to accept the fact that casual gaming is such a big share of the market, it is for a reason. Accessibility in games hadn't been a problem for early games, anyone can play tetris or Mario, as games became more complex,they lost some of the casual crowd. Look at the development cycles for most games today, it's quality over quantity for them most part. Games over-saturated with meaningless gimmicks that are always one-upping each other. Motion controllers have made gaming accessible to the "casual" crowd again, and gamers often forget that the video game industry is first and foremost that, an industry, a business, money isn't the sole driving force, but it's the one that matters, and motion controllers sell, big time, look at wii sales. While i am a true hardcore gamer to the core, I will not go into denial that the industry is changing, we can either adapt to this new era of interactive entertainment or ***** about it from now onwards, take your pick.
Oh my God. Another one of these damn threads.
No. It is not killing gaming, if anything it is saving it, for reasons that have been discussed in detail on one of the 8 billion other threads just like this one.
