Forums - Gaming Discussion - I thought most ps3 and 360 owners hate motion controls

no, I like motion control (use it on my Wii, which I play as well as my 360/PS3), I'm looking forward to trying out both Natal and PS Wand, one thing I do think though, is that there should be classic control games for around in the future too, I love PS3/360 controls and I think they work really well with alot of games, I think there is no reason why the industry can't both innovate on controls and by making old control games more and more awesome.

Well I don't own a 360 so I really only hope Natal isn't their main focus for the sake of my buddy Machina.

The point is, if you don't figure out exactly who did this then your accusation is meaningless. And that means you'd have to spend all day looking through people's histories which would be boring as hell.


That's awfully generous of you Tor.

See, now I forgot what I was going to post.  Oh well, at least I got to watch some Scrubs.




 

I've always liked the thought of motion controls.  And I own both a PS3 and 360 - as well as a Wii.

 

Although, I can tell you, yea... a lot of people are changing their tune because a console they own is getting motion controls.  That changes everything when you have access to it.  You only bash that, which you don't have.

To quote myself here on VGchartz from a few years ago:

"I would love to see a Wii-Mote like device for the PS3"

I think most of the criticism regarding the Wii actually relates to its low hardware specifications, not the Wii-mote control scheme idea for certain style games.

Isn't the Wii powerful enough for a SD console?

As more video and articles about porn arise, it seems like more people are being very hypocritical.

I remember how when the girls at school first came out and those same people said they hated them, yet were the same people to try and like it then hate it again (its like wtf). Some people were honest and admitted that they like the vagina but not the girls that come with them.

Next thing we see are despisers of the same girl loving the new motion girls coming. Its one crazy world. 

 

Was that a joke? pretty bad

I admit it wasn't scathing social commentary.  It was just me editing the OP and removing the game references and replacing them with girl references.  You see, when I was in school, I didn't like girls.  It was mostly because, at the time, boys were supposed to act like they didn't like girls.  As time progressed, popular opinion changed, and I matured.  Just like with video games.  There are those who didn't like motion control for one reason or another.  Either their opinion evolved, they matured, or motion control grew boobs.  Either way, people who shunned motion control in the past are ready to embrace it now......if it's done right. 

If Natal and the PS3 wand are imprecise gimmicks then expect them to be be criticised like the SIXAXIS controls (in most PS3 games) or the tacked on motion control in several Wii games were.  If they reach a WM+ or better level of interactivity, then why shouldn't gamers look forward to it?  Personally, I want Sony AND Microsoft's take on motion control to succeed.  I'm a fan of games (look at my tags/game library) first.  Companies/platforms second.

Well, the PSMotion does look like a dildo, but.......

Motion controls do not add anything to gameplay so it is unnecessary for me.

Boom blox would be about 1/10th as fun with a controller.  I suggest you try the marble series of games or super monkey ball or mercury meltdown revolution, then play the latter 2 on a console with dual analog.  Or EA grand slam tennis for wii then play an EA tennis title on another system.  There are times when motion controls make a game that otherwise would have lived in the bargain bin.

IR pointing also makes games.  I have all 3 consoles and a gaming pc and like wiimote aiming best (mouse is more accurate but I love rail shooters so I enjoy wiimote more).  I skipped metroid prime because of dual analog.  I LOVE it on wii.  Guess what I'm playing now despite just buying tekken 6?

What you're essentially claiming is that DDR on a pad is no different or more enjoyable than DDR on a controller.  It's so hysterically wrong that I don't understand how you could say it.

Your suggestion is in vein. I have zero interest for games like that. Including DDR and guitar hero like games. I don't see how a bad game comes better with motion controls. It is still the same game. A better argument would have been PGA 10, which is pretty good with motion plus. Not that it hold my interest for more than hour or so.

IR pointer is not the same as motion controls and it is good in some games. I still prefer mouse and in some cases dual analog. Guess who is not going to bother with rail shooters?

Naturally I have no objections if motion controls add to gameplay for you, it just does not do the same for me. I mean, I am not interested in a game where you push buttons with some rhythm. Does not matter if it is done by a keyboard, control pad, plastic guitar or a dancemat.

I know it's not 100% on point but I'd like to say without sixaxis, flOwer would have sucked.

Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

I gotta laugh at people who actually believe that motion controls on 360 and PS3 are somehow going to be used better than motion controls on Wii, despite Wii being completely centered around motion controls, and the HD consoles just using them as an afterthought. I mean we don't even know any games that are going to utilize Natal yet, and as for the PS3 wand, there have only been a few crappy games announced yet. MS and Sony aren't taking motion controls seriously, and so I really doubt they're motion control systems are going to be near the Wii's in quality.

In short, when Nintendo does it, its a gimmick and a mark for those wh othink they're 'hardcore' gamers to make fun of.

But when Microsoft or Sony comes out with a similar device on their own systems, those same people have to defend it because its on their favorite system and 'one upped' Nintendo.

To be fair, the Wii was aimed at the casual audience, Hardcore PS3 360 gamers saw the whole console as a gimmic, the Sony/MS motion controls are aimed at the casual end of Hardcore.

E.G. We have Resident Evil coming out for Sony's motion controller, when the Wii launched, you had those little cartoon dudes to play tennis with.

I think this is more about presentation than people simply having a bias (though I am sure most people do have a bias, myself included)
