You said games aren't games without graphics, I replied that games aren't games without a controller.

A hologram may be a gimmick, but a motion controller or padlet is not by virtue of the fact that it has a tangible value-add in terms of data input.

If you're calling controller like the wiimote and padlet gimmicks, then advanced visual effects in games are equally gimmicky. If we play by your rules, we get fallacies, and that's a sign that your rules are fucked up.


I never said that a wiimote wasnt tangible value-add in, far from it. I am saying by virtue of it always being secondary in the gamers eye and not a successor to the slowly evolving traditional gamer pad leaves it as a gimmick. They will always be searching for some new peripheral to make gaming easier or different from last gen. Nintendo didnt mind that they caught the worlds attention, even if it was just for an instant.
