Xbox Wii-Sixty?

[ElephantGuts]

God I hope not. First they make me use those horrid avatars (which aren't Miis, of course /sarcasm), now they're going to make me be shaking my controller around in the air like a retard?

Why doesn't Microsoft just drop the 360 alltogether and start selling the Wii? It sounds like they'd be a lot happier that way.

But mind-controlled games, on the other hand, would be a lot more appealing...

horrid avatars?
but yah, unless they are revolutionizing the motion controler, then they shouldnt even think about it.

Yeah, like... the one you have for your avatar.

There's a reason that Nintendo made them as Miis for the Wii. They don't belong on an Xbox 360. Two very different audiences. As in, the difference between little kids and hardcore gamers. One will take much more kindly to them than the other.

That is, besides the fact that they're blatant, unimaginative rip-offs of Nintendo's work.

Well, PS3 has sixaxis but everyone hates that.

Flower, flOw ever heard of them? Those games wouldn't be possible without the sixaxis, not not everyone hates it.

On Topic: I see this as a lack of creativity for Microsoft having to copy paste like this. My hopes is they don't go through with this.

People who've played Flower don't.

So fucking true, talk about an intuitive control sheme . Also thought that Sixaxis was well implemented in R&C.

Personally I think that motion control has failed, I really don't know why Microsoft wants to jump on that bandwagon. I mean is there really anyone out there who'll buy a game just because it's got motion sensors?

Anyone that isn't into gaming.

 

[Glerken]

Mmm. So they aren't bringing anything new to the table then.

I hope it's not motion control.

 

[Quadtrix]

Further proof that Microsoft can't come up with anything original if they do give motion control a shot.

Time to take names down. If they release a game incorporating motion control and I see some of you calling it 'amazing' or 'revolutionary' I'm calling you out.

Although to be honest, they aren't going to implement this into any AAA main string franchises or games, at least that's what I think. They don't have the balls.

If I so much as hint about it being amazing you have permission to kick me in the balls.

Still, the cynic in me is coming out again. I will hardly give a damm anyway about a motion sensitive controller. It will just be the Wii for the hardcore gamer.

Well how can that be possibly said when we haven't even seen the control yet? For all you know it could be like the Z-Cam, which would involve you even more than the Wii Remote would.

Besides, hardcore gaming on the Wii is advancing at a slower pace but it's still there.

One good use of Sixaxis, out of dozens of other games that use it horribly=I don't give a flying Vorgaarian Flying Hippopotami.

Bah, how many of those games make it required? I just like it because it's an option for the developers to use, it's not like it's constantly forced down on us or that it's the center of the entire console and not using it would basically defeat the whole purpose of the system.

I hate the motion controls. As soon as they bring it to the 360 developers will start throwing out crappy motion games, and soon we'll be swamped like the Wii, left without the majority of decent and fun games we would be seeing without the bloody gimmick.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Please no...please, whatever deity is hearing my electronic cries, don't let it be motion sensor.

Well, plenty of PSN games use sixaxis very well, but I'm talking about the "mandatory overuse" of sixaxis that we all can't stand. Like how uncharted had so many useless things require sixaxis, or how Lair used sixaxis (though, I liked that better than analog sticks but I didn't really like the game). While games like Mirror's Edge made it an option.

Still, games like Flow and Flower (both "flow" very well...I'm sorry) and the however many other PSN games use it very nicely, but that's because they aren't used as gimmicks and most importantly, don't feel tacked on just because Sony said "must have 1 sixaxis use at least" or something. There are a few "AAA" games that I've played that use sixaxis pretty well like infamous and heavenly sword but that's also because they don't "overdo" it - thus, the game doesn't turn into a controller shaking fest. Which is what I hope all games do assuming this motion control trend keeps going, and I hope it stops. Hoping is all I can do anyway.

Jeez, people are mocking Microsoft rather viciously for this, eh?

Well, I don't think that this is really news per se: I already saw a story on another site about motion controls quite a while back for both PS3 and 360. So they're both getting a piece of this "fail pie" that people love so much.

Motion controls have potential, but it's a long way off from achieving the same level of interactivity as ordinary controllers.

This is gonna be a gimmick thing probably: letting the Wii devs who like messing with motion controls go multiplatform. Unless some serious support is behind it though, it'll die fast.

 

[nova18]

I actually like motion controls, it could be used well.
Like the Killzone2 sniper rifle, need to keep your Sixaxis steady to stop the scope from moving.

But I dont see it as being a must have for a console, its just a gimmick.
We're all gonna feel foolish if Microsoft unveils something totally different though

 

[yeah_so_no]

Dear Microsoft,

We really need to work on your definitions of "new," "innovative," and "revolutionize," because they don't mean what you think they mean. I assure you, they don't actually mean "done before by everyone else." Promise.

Crazy talk it's not Telepathy,it's mind controlled games.
