Pointer calibration is pretty standard in most games that use it, all the way back to Twilight Princess.

The accuracy of the Wii remote's IR pointer is as tight as you could ask for, and it is certainly much faster than an analog stick.

Yeah, I wonder when they'll release the first Wii FPS which allows for GC/classic controller as well as Wiimote for online play. It should be interesting to see how much ownage happens there.

 

Insofar as attacking multiple enemies within one's field of vision with an anchored perspective (as in when locked on in Corruption), it's also much faster than a mouse without being as disorienting to use. In a larger firefight, the Wiimote is tops in most respects.

RE controls have always been clunky as hell.

Anywho, I propose the creation of the term "Control Whores" to go along with "Graphics Whores".

The implication there is very dangerous, you realize.

Heh, no, I just feel like I have more control with the analog. I haven't played CoD5 but I hear the controls are similar or worse than MoH:H2 which I did play. I also played MP3. It's not bad, I just think it needs a little tweaking.

Also, when playing RE:UC, I wished so much for a real light gun rather than relative aiming. A mouse and analog stick is also relative, but it would be nice to be able to aim directly at where you want to shoot instead of just guiding the IR like a mouse or analog. When compared to analog and mouse, it uses the same principle of having to guide your pointer (or screen) relative to where you are currently, and I just don't feel like it's more accurate than analog and not close to a mouse yet.

Edit:  And it's certainly not enough to trash a game because it's not on Wii.  If RE5 was on Wii, I'd still get the PS3 version.

I see.

Regarding "real light guns", check out Ghost Squad which did it properly. From wiki:

Ghost Squad takes advantage of the Wii Remote's pointer functionality, the nunchuk and the Wii Zapper giving players controller flexibility. In addition, the game features a pointer calibration mode, enabling players to use line-of-sight aiming and fire precisely where the Wii Remote is pointed. Should player feel their calibration is precise, they can turn off the on-screen pointer for more points.

 

 

They need to add this to more games!

It was a joke...

I don't understand why people think Wii and PC controls are all-around better than standards controls....

They only work well in a few games and that's it. In the Wii's case, RE4 is the only game ever made that made the Wii mote look good. Every other game on the Wii would have worked better with a sexy Gamecube controler.

What I don't understand is how someone can think analog controls are better than anything except D-Pad (for shooting games). This coming from someone who has played Halo 3, Gears of War and will probably buy RE5 at some point.

Also, how many (and which if you may) Wii games have you played to make a remark like that last one?

If the wii had the graphics of a PS3 and had RE5, i would love to see how this conversation would have went.

I just can't wait until X360 or PS3  copy the wiimote so i can move off the wii and play games like Killzone, Halo and Gears of War with motion/IR.

Graphics+motion/IR controls = love! IMO

As a Wii60 owner, I would probably buy RE5 for the Wii instead of the 360 if it was available. Since it isn't, I'll just have to decide whether to buy the 360 version or wait for the inevitable next RE Wii game (RE5 or not).
