Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Best Wiimote/Pointer FPS controls?

 

Which controls the best?

Metroid Prime 3 69 61.61%
 
Medal of Honour Heroes 2 3 2.68%
 
The Conduit 5 4.46%
 
Conduit 2 8 7.14%
 
Black Ops II 15 13.39%
 
Other 12 10.71%
 
Total:112

The only ones I've played are Prime 3 (and Trilogy) and The Conduit and while the Conduit had wonderful control tweaking options, the Primes are the victors because of their silky smooth frame rate. They control like a dream.

No love for Goldeneye?

I chose the ones usually cited as the best.



Prime 3 was good, but I felt that the lock on feature really depleted the need for accurate pointer controls.

Goldeneye gets my vote. I loved the multiplayer in that game to death. Pointer controls at their finest.




man, i feel like there's alot of bias here. I think metroid prime 3 was easily the WORST shooter with pointer controls. I hated having to point all the way to the end of the screen to start turning samus. However, after conduit refined the way shooters should be customized, i think all the fps's had about the same controls. COD, conduit 2, red steel 2, were all about the same. And were awesome. Still my preferred way to play an fps, but i don't think we'll see it anymore :(

Italic: Have you played Red Steel 1, perchance? :p

Bold: Mine too, but it may not be done for: COD Ghosts on Wii U may very well support it, since Black Ops II on Wii U did.

No votes for MOH heroes 2, that game was actually quite good and whilst the controls arent the best on the Wii, there was some pretty good ideas implemented for wiimote use.

Yeah, Heroes 2's use of motion controls is still among the best on the system to me; pumping the nunchuk to pump a shotgun, firing it backwards on your shoulder to use the rocket launcher and hearing the speaker/feeling the vibration next to your ear, scoping in and out by "dialling" the Wiimote, all great stuff.

That and it's 60fps smoothness put it at a tied #1 with Black Ops II (less creative motion controls, but more customization) and Prime 3, (very smooth and pixel-perfect aiming, but little customization) for me.



Metroid Prime 3 had the best controls. Although after you tweak them a bit, the first Conduit was pretty good too. As was Red Steel 2.



Out of the ones i've played with ir-controls it's MP3 and the first CoD BO. IR-controls when done right really are great, such a great and unique feel to it.



Prime Trilogy + Red Steel 2
