all you have to do is look at the origin of shooters and where they still remain king to this day.. the pc.
sony move the wii and a pc mouse offer precision that a gamepad can never achieve even after countless redesigning , you can try and argue this and be blinded by your hate for change but the gamepad is supremely flawed when dealing with aiming in shooters.
try to draw a picture with the gamepad or just try pinpointing a few different spots around your screen with a gamepad, it doesnt work, weird how i can achieve it with a mouse or a wiimote will no effort at all.
your thumb and a small nub can never give you the speed and accuracy that full freedom of movement can give you , holding a wiimote or sony move or mouse in your hand is like holding the real thing , whether it be a sword or gun or punching, the gamepad will always be valuable in platforming and sport games but when it comes to precision gaming im glad to see the gamepad is on its way out . |
Yeah, nothing in gaming is EVER like the real thing. It's not even close.
I work in a gun shop. I've fired shit you've only seen pixelated in a match of Counter-Strike. I work with guys who have spent most of their lives in the military and make me look stupid on a daily basis, doubly so when we get out on the range.
"Realism" has nothing to do with this.
Let's see someone fire a .50 cal sniper rilfle 40 times in real life. Watching it, you'd get a kick out of seeing it... unless you were the person firing. You're so damned shell-shocked after ten rounds that your vision starts blurring. After 20 rounds, you're not sure which way is up. 30 rounds, you're damned near pissing yourself. And that's WEARING ear protection.

Thats not true. I saw a guy the other day walk around a group of targets and head shot a bunch of them from 10-15M away whilst firing from the hip. He was pretty leet, I was convinced he was using the mouse interface.
