| Kulle said: Looks quite bad actually. Could be because of that crappy video. :D I haven't played any wii fps:s, so I have to ask. Are you able to lock your crosshair at the center of the screen on this/all games? It looked pretty annoying the way this guy played. |
No, locking the crosshair in the centre of the screen wouldn't work very well in any Wii game. FPS games on the Wii these days use a dead zone. While the cursor is in the dead zone, the camera doesn't change orientation. The further the cursor strays from the dead zone, the faster the camera moves in that direction.
This game's default configuration seems to have a pretty large dead zone, which is considered to be less responsive but more accessible to rookie gamers. Experienced gamers tend to prefer a small dead zone, allowing for more responsive camera movement. CoD: WaW is rumoured to be configurable enough to shrink the dead zone smaller than what we've seen in these youtube videos.
Metroid Prime 3 did have one feature which is similar to what you describe. You could lock the camera onto a target by pressing Z. The cursor remained free, allowing you to blast other enemies or weak points on a boss while strafing around the locked camera target.
