What I don't get is why people want it to be perfectly 1:1 accurate. Does we play videogames to be as bad in them than in real life? When I play a tennis game, I want to be as good as Rafa Nadal or Roger Federer, I don't want to be as bad as I'm in real life. Being 1:1 isn't fun, because then 95% of the players here won't win a single point against a virtual Tsonga, or a virtual Nalbandian.

 

This is why I think 1:1 is a fallacy, and we want to be helped when we play games, because real life is much harder than videogames, and most of the time being real isn't as funny as winning.

This is true whether people want to admit it or not. There are some simple, mundane exercises you can do in 1-to-1 and have fun, but when things get more complicated, you're limiting yourself to your real physical abilities. Have fun playing God of War and Tiger Woods golf.

Quoted for truth.

Some people here obviously never heard of the Difficulty Setting concept.  ¬_¬


We were talking strictly about 1-to-1 use of motion controller. As far as I remember, there is no "easy 1-to-1" and "hard 1-to-1." That is a ridiculous idea. =P 1-to-1 is just that... 1-to-1.

 

God I hate typing that (1-to-1) out constantly. We need to find an easier way to say it. like 121. >.>

You agreed that 1 to 1 was a fallacy.  The very mention of the difficulty to become a Federer while casually playing such game is completely ridiculous.  When playing a Street Fighter or StarCraft game, do you play it to become the next Umehara or Boxer?  Nope, knowing there are better players out there doesn't mean you can't or won't enjoy the game just as much.

There are many types of games that can benefit from 1 to 1.  Just because those games will make use of it (like Table Tennis) doesn't mean every single game experiences available for Move will make use of it.  Move's 1 to 1 tracking allows for players to have natural movements fully recognized.  Coming back to table tennis, not everyone has room to have a real table in their home, but everyone knows how to handle a paddle.  Having a Table Tennis game that feels just like the real thing, but takes next to no space in your house is a big plus. 

Finally, my comment about the difficulty was made in direct relation to this absurdity: "Being 1:1 isn't fun, because then 95% of the players here won't win a single point against a virtual Tsonga, or a virtual Nalbandian."
