Wii FPS controls: near perfection, not there yet

Something like Wiimote is definitely the future, but right now there's no way any player with Wiimote/nunchuk controllers could beat a good mouse/keyboard player. A mouse player would be dancing circles around an equally good wiimote player. For me (as a former competitive FPS player) that's the criterion that counts.

For example, try to instantly turn 180 degrees while running, take a shot at an opponent who's chasing you (while continuing to run backwards), and then immediately turn 180 degrees again. Pretty ordinary with mouse/keys, impossible with wiimote/nunchuk.

For the moment, only a mouse can offer accurate reflex moves across 720 degrees.

Resident Evil 4: Wii edition. Press Z and Down = 180 degree turn.

not only does this show it can be done, it has been done. By saying something is impossible all you're saying is you lack the creativity to think of the possibilities. I agree that no wii fps has reached the pc level yet, but to say it is impossible is a bit of a bold statement considering the infancy of the wii fps genre.

Resident Evil 4: PS2 (gamecube as well) Square and down = 180 degree turn, but a bad example in my opinion because I think you missed the point of what Godsmurf was saying. However I think he kind of worded it wrong because I know where you're coming from.

I believe he was talking about a first person shooter where with the mouse and a sensitivity that feels like an extension of your own arm, you can whip the mouse around in the general direction of the sound or damage indicators to quickly squeeze off a round or twenty at an attacker.
