Forums - Gaming - Dave Perry: Gamers ignore Wii's 'sloppy' controls

I think GT is playing his wii against a mirror. That, or he has a really bad case of shaky hands.

Other than that. Who the hell is Dave Perry and should I care for his rambling?

I only play Wii occasionally and the only time I had shaky cursor was the first 5 minutes holding the wiimote.

Why are so many attacking the person instead of what he stated? Either agree or disagree with him but it's tiring to see people bash the man, he's done far more for videogames than the people here bashing him have.

 He said a bad thing about the Wii.  What did you think was going to happen?

As a more relevant note, I don't see anything out of the ordinary here.  People accepted weak or exaggerated controls for a certain time and that time is quickly coming to an end.  Games like Metroid Prime 3 are setting a bar high enough to make anything lower unacceptable.



Sloppy controls? I guess he hasn't played RE4 or Metroid yet...
Some of the earlier games (like Zelda) felt somewhat sloppy though.



"Why are so many attacking the person instead of what he stated?"

Dave Perry is an ass clown. Last good game he made was the Earthworm jim series.

Nintendo Wii is the definitive system to own this gen

Anyone who disagree's needs to step into reality.

 Am I the only one who thinks Legend11 has something against the wii?

lol

 

ps. The wii came out less than a year ago with A BRAND NEW CONTROLLER. (I repeat, BRAND NEW)

Sometimes I think some ppl's fanboyism effects certain parts of the brain.



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

Thats just one thing among many weaknesses being ingonred. 1up reported a few stories from tgs about developers in japan that really don't like to work with the wii controls.

There are a multitude of Wii games with sloppy controls, but not only is the console being exploited by lazy third party development but it is still early in its life meaning familiarity with how to makes game for it is still a refining art.



OMG! The Wii has flaws! It isn't perfect! DOOOOOOOOOM!

You don't need to outrun the hungry dragon, just outrun the rest of the party.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Earthworm Jim! He's such a groovy guy! Earthworm Jim! He rockets through the Sky!

He was just a normal, dirt eating worm, when all that came to a crashing end!

Alright, my memory of Earthworm Jim involves Cows and that song. And I only remmeber Messiah because Fear Factory did the song for it and you possed things even before you possessed dog food in another similar game(Poltergeist?).

And besides, I contribute to gaming. I actually buy games. If no one did that, Jaffe, Miyamoto, Blezinsky, Romero, Sakurai, Itoi wouldn't have contributed! So Nyah.

For the record, don't read my posts on a day where I'm forced to do filing because auditors annoy me and having the least seniority in my office means I get to do it. I go crazy! And... back to the filing.



See Ya George.

"He did not die - He passed Away"

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

He really really liked the saying "Whoa Nelly!"
