I'm a traditional gamer, I like it sit back on a couch and use a standard controller; but all this shit with motion controls is threatening the traditional style of playing video games! If Kinect succeeds then next gen we're going to be without controllers and stuck playing lame party games till the end of time! Same goes for motion controls on Sony and Nintendo! Okay I'm exagerating a bit, controllers will never go away. But I want to see motion controls flop hard next gen so we can go back to making core games and not lame ass party games that Grandma can play. |
I'm with you. I don't want to be that active while playing all my games, nor do I want that kind of imprecision. I mean the occassional Wii Fit is kinda neat, but I don't want ALL or a majority of my games to be played like that. At the same time though, I want the Wii to succeed, which my sound hypocritical or fanboyish of me, but the Wii's motion controls are really a lot different. Most of the games that utilize it, even heavilly, are nothing more than slight wrist movements.
I look at the Wiimote as somewhat of a 3D mouse. These are the kind of motion controls I like if implemented corectly. But full body motion? I'm not sure I'm into that.. Especially when the games look at poor as Kinect's does. That sort of control just seems imprecise, awkward, and more trouble than it's worth. There is also a very small margin of genres that I could see working with this control scheme; even fewer than the Wiimote.
