Sixaxis is broken
Nobody use it because no game use it correctly.

I m not even sure all the PS3 users know the capcity of the controller since a lot of games dont use it.

SLAP* ... Lair has great controls.. with the SIXAXIS ... without the new patch

Heavenly sword has great SIXAXIS use with aftertouch ... The motionsensing in the ps controller is a feature... just a feature. It IS a good one though.

 

Personally i think that every person who says the SIXAXIS is broken or a bad controller.. they lack the will to accept the innovation. Or they simply havent tried the good games.

 

I know i mentioned lair but i got it recently and the controls are quite good. They have only annoyed me a few times but thats because the dragon flys to the side if its about to hit something and doesent stop unless you command it too. :P

It was not just the control that Lair down it looks very boring and  The graphics looked ordinary in Lair repetitive.

BTW Dual Shock 3 is a lot better than the standard light as a feather Six-Axis controller

LOL. Lair sucked mostly because it was uncontrollable. And yes before the patch. Some people will keep plugging a dead game. Also what innovation? They got worried about Wii and chucked it in last minute. 

 



Its not all about the games. Its just about being able to sell it with the motion controllers.

This is the perfect way to stop the Wii. They dont need to make money, or sell these controllers to everyone.

The PS3/360 are more powerful, have better graphics, have a better games library, and better motion controls. Why would any buy a Wii, other than for exclusive Nintendo games. It has no HDD, horrible online interface, etc.

Thats what its all about. On top of that, you could even port third part Wii games to XBL and PSN. The Wii losing exlusive(functional) motion sensing support takes away a huge selling point. It would have to sell on pure quality and popularity of games with less processing power, worse graphics, and no HDD. I



Motion control should be optional and you can have the choice to play the game with the good old controller.



Sorry but super-rub-a-dub uses the six axis brilliantly. Everyone

Yeah I think in some ways its too late. Nintendo does have quality that is unmatched by anyone. The issue is the uninformed parent who is going to the store. Or the "informed" fan who doesn't know what they are talking about.

If the Wii and PS3/360 are the same price, you can sell the HD consoles with limited effort, unless the person is seeking out Nintendo products. Its a certainty if these controllers come out they will be as advanced or more so than the Wii-mote. It is also certain that they will come with some sort of Wii Sports rip off bundled.

Thats the problem with doing it first. Both companies can make an exact replica, add one or two features, and claim to have the better version. To gamers like us here we can see that its just desperation for market share, but to someone watching the add on TV or reading it in a magazine you will see only this.

"Wii-like controller with more accurate movements, on a console thats more powerful with more features for $50-$100 more."

And I'm not saying this is the complete end of the Wii. But it would definitely end all dominance depending on how hard they push this controller. They will feed off the Wii, much like the 360 fed off the PS brand and claim to be better. Its not head on competition with Nintendo, more of a leap frog approach.

Lair has some of the most interesting controls for a game for a long time. I have it, it is very controllable unless you lack the ability to move the controller around ...

Atleast I personally have had absolutely no problems with it other than the 15 mins it took to get used to..and i haven't even updated it.

I'm not saying it's a great game... but the controls are deffo a strong point of it.

 (i think the acting and story is a little weak though..dragons make up for it XD)
