Forums - Nintendo - Wii Motion Plus is Too Accurate

http://kotaku.com/5197722/ea-wii-motionplus-so-accurate-it-can-be-too-accurate

 

Hoping the new MotionPlus tech for the Wii will bring some added realism to console's controls? You'll like hearing what EA's Grand Slam Tennis team have to say, then.

The producer of the upcoming EA tennis game - which will be one of the first titles available to make use of the peripheral - has told British site TechRadar:

It truly is giving you that one-to-one control movement of your arm motion and then mapping it directly to that one-to-one movement of your character on screen.

At times it's overly responsive. It had so much fidelity that at times we have limited that fidelity to make it a compelling experience and giving you full total control.

Much rather have a tech that's too accurate, and can be toned down be developers, than a tech that's not accurate enough and can't be fixed.

That good to hear. Can't wait to see it in action.



Yeh i read that earlier today and I think its a great endorsement for the peripheral



 

*looks at his 4 wiimotes* I hope it's not too expensive.... :(



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

umm the correctly terminology would be " overtly sensitive" and NOT "too accurate".. which kinda sux coz it defeats the whole purpose of the add on.

I see this peripheral flopping unless they bundle it with the wii outta the box...



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

don't really see how the add-on can be overly responsive as it depends on how the devs calibrate it. I mean, if the wii motion plus add on immitates exact 3d movement in space than it can't be overly responsive!



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.

That's fine though, there's no problem with a highly sensitive piece of hardware, it's very easy for software to ignore the lowest levels of sensitivity.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I hope that it's not too sensitive.

If it is I will start a boycott and demand Atari style joysticks.

They had to limit your control in order to give you full control? ...

That's one hilarious complaint!
