The controls for RE4 and MP3 were great and Motion+ will make it far more responsive and accurate. With Motion+, the aiming could be nearly as good as using a mouse, and anyone who has played a good PC player knows that kind of speed and accuracy is unmatchable by thumbsticks.

 

How does motion+ improve aiming?

The 360. Its more comfortable. Dualshock 3 is next. Its more sturdy than the sixaxis. It doesn't feel like its going to break,and I'm used to using playstation controllers. Wiimote is on the very bottom.

I've never been a fan of PS controllers but I have to admit that the Dpad on the PS3 dualshock controller feels great. Its like someone already worked it in for me.

The 360 controller is by far the best cotroller for FPS games ans the analog layout is optimized for that. And it feels more confortable in your hands...

Wii has motion control hence you cant really compare it. Here is how i would rank the controllers on all the systems i have owned...

Best controller list                                                    Best motion controller list

1. Sega Saturn pad                                                  1. Wii controller
2. Sens pad                                                              2. ???? PS3 controller ???
3. Sega Genesis 6 button pad
4. Xbox 360 controller
5. PS3 controller
6. dreamcast controller
7. Gamecube controller
8. Xbox 1 controller
9. PS1/PS2 controller
10. n64 controller

Really gamecube at 7 I would put that lower and the first xbox controller was bad too

 

 



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

for me its which one less suck.

360: its big, dpad sucks.

wii: works great fps but its not great with fighters require too much waggle very gimmicky.

ps3: i prefer dual shock 2, due the r2 l2 buttons, but its small, light dual analogs are next to each other buttons are well split.
it works for all types of games well.

Gamecube was bad for you average type of games. Fighting, sports, driving...but the games that were specifically designed for the Gamecube, like RE4, Metroid prime...that controller worked great for...

the big xbox 1 controller was terrible. But the small one was pretty good I thought...and when I mean pretty good I mean, 8th on my list :)

How does motion+ improve aiming?

 

Greater accuracy.

Xbox360 gamepad is the BEST
I do not like the PS3 gamepad
It is ugly and less ergonomical...

Also Microsoft will release a new Xbox360 gamepad with a better D-pad in the next monthsHere is a photo about it

Ok. I thought motion+ was about improving motion controls, not the ir-aiming. :)

I think the WM+ will only have an affect on movement not on the pointer.

The pointer is good but it all depends on the developers. Look for the Conduit ;)
