Forums - Gaming - Which of the three motion controllers...

Sorry, should have elaborated :P. I think the whole concept of motion control is lame in general, so there's very little appeal to be found in any of the three techs (in my opinion, of course). Even using the Wii Channel interface makes me want to strangle myself, so I can't imagine I'd get much enjoyment out of the tech when utilised by Microsoft and Sony.



It's all about the game.

I can understand where you're coming from and that you look at gaming as more of a time to relax and I'm sure that there will always be a market for that sort of thing, but I feel that motion controls are a step in the direction of virtual reality which is coming sooner than a lot of people think.

Watch a promotional video for Red Steel 2 (or indeed Red Steel)

Admitedly no one would actually play the game like the actors in those videos, but never-the-less they look pretty cool.

And as neither of the other controllers have as useful a pointing device as the IR camera in the Wii remote you won't see FPS using them.

Sony showed off a tech demo fps style. It certainly looked more like a fps then wiis "on rails" games.

 

I know it has fps too but the ps controller, being more accurate than the wii one(w motion plus) at measuring dept should certainly not have a disadvantage. Hopefully sony also ads a analogue to each wand so when you're holding a wand in each hand you'll be able to turn around and move without having to turn around lol..

I haven't seen the Sony and Microsoft efforts but I already know the Wii Remote is by far the coolest.


Give a reason since you are the king of cool. 

Well it looks like an Apple remote so you couldn't get more cool than that.  The Sony thing looks weird and from what I hear the Microsoft one doesnt even have you holding anything.  If anyone saw you through your living room window playing that wat they would think you were mental.

Yeah.  The Natal has you just moving around with nothing and this just looked odd to me.  They were showing what someone playing a racing game with it look like and it looked awkward.

This is easily correctable in more than one way, including UVA rays

Well, let's see. Natal has you holding nothing, and judging by the presentation with the woman smacking balls, it doesn't have perfect reception. So I'd say the average person will look fairly ridiculous using it. The PS3 motion control won't look any more goofy than the Wiimote I imagine, but Sony needs to improve the design.

I guess when you are as bias as you, it blinds you so much that you failed to see that it did in fact have near perfect reception.

Red Steel isn't on rails.  Neither are several other Wii shooters.  MP3 isn't on rails, is it?
