how long have you known this? One was where you were arguing that One was a thread by richardhutnik asking how MS was going to convert kinect users to core users using the idea that nintendo converted casuals to core because of the controller itself. Getting users started with simple motion controls would lead to holding a controller in the traditional way. You said you had no idea, and then defended it by saying nintendo hasn't converted many anyways. Then in another thread, you said that ps move wouldn't sell as much as kinect because core gamers would stick to the standard controller. |
Even if they do come out with hybrid games, I am still pressed to think how they will convert casual into core players. The Wiimote is like a less complicated remote, and it gets non-gamers used to the control. There is a transtion. I don't see how motion control will do that at all. I have seen someone who was not used to a 360 controller (elderly man) who ended up having to work to get up to speed. He tried to do Halo, and it was a disaster, for example. He felt he had to, because other people he knew were doing FPS and other games, and he felt he needed to play with them. One can't expect people to be that dedicated to do so. Entertainment needs to map to where people are. You can't expect people to go out of their way to work to try to get up to speed on something that is designed to entertain.
