"how one would control the camera and use the buttons for actions simultaneously." One thumb on the touch screen, one thumb on the face buttons? |
Except that is a completely unergonomic and downright horrible system for Monster hunters and 99% (probably 100%) other types of games.
Plus, It would also require the user to be left handed to even make considerable sense for games specifically designed for that style. (action and trigger buttons are situated on right side of 3ds, right handed people hold stylist with right hand... the issue is obvious)
Traditional controllers such as the duelshock and 360 controller are refined gaming devices for playing in 3D environments. The NGP echos their deign perfectly if initial handling reports from the gaming industry are to be believed. Hell, one of the biggest complaints about the PSP was poor/difficult control in 3d games. From my understanding (I have not personally handled the NGP) this has been aptly remedied.
The 3DS on the other hand will have some mighty difficulties to overcome with its monster hunter game. Overcoming them is not impossible though. It will require innovation and not a copy/pasta of the PSP's version. But to play off 3ds control ease as comparable to what the NGP has with little discrepancy is garbage.
tl:dr- read it Maxwell, don't be lazy this time
