Still believe in sixaxis?

So after the recent disappointment with a game dependent on motion controls and nothing really useful with this feature (snake cam, shaking it in sigma, shaking in RFOM, driving in motorstorm [which I did once and quickly went back to analog]), do you guys still think there's a future for sixaxis or was it a failed attempt to be innovative?

BTW, I totally support a company trying to bring something new to market ala sixaxis but I think if they do so they should keep what hasn't proved to be broken, e.g., rumble.

It's been used well in some games and in others its a total disaster.

I still believe in it.

I agree with you. If used right it can enhance the gameplay.

well there is one game i am looking forward to with the sixaxis

Ratchet and clank future:TOD using the sixaxis for some weapons like the visibomb and the rocket helicopter

The motion sensing has been put into a good use in a few games. The future is still bright for the sixaxis.

The SIXAXIS works fine in Lair and Warhawk.

I still believe there will be good uses for the sixaxis in the future.

I can't wait for the playstation eye though. It looks so cool. I hope there are good games for it.

No it's because he only has Wii and PC games in your profile list.

Well, unless I'm very much mistaken, there -is- the option for analogue only, in Warhawk... I've only played once using Sixaxis on there... the rest of the time, I'm on the sticks.

I bought Lair without even thinking if the sixaxis will work or not, when i played it it was bad at first but i got use to it and its all okay now and its fun. i dont even believe reviews anymor except when the reviewer is Greg Kasavin, his review are always on the mark. I think its more personal preference than your traditional pick and play controller

Are you joking? There are cool uses now and more coming in the near future

Sorry i was refering to edd678. not you.

lol.

I think that the Sixaxis still has some potential... I just dont think it shouldnt take a major influence on the actual movement of your character i.e steering in Motorstorm...

When put in such a big roll it can make the game difficult to play and thus not fun...

But to control little things like the weapons in Ratchet.. i think thats what the sixaxis should be used for..

To try to control a characters movements using the sixaxis is not only hard but very embarassing!!

reviewers seem to make first impression only impression mistakes. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fxPKXfRRNAY. I wouldn't say lair is a "hardcore" game.

No matter if you think there are already cool uses of it or not (I think there is by the way), you can't blame the controller for the way the devs are using it. That's like a kid blaming his toy for breaking when he dropped it down the stairs. It's not the fault of the item, it's the fault of the way that item is used.

The motion control right now seems to be a hit or miss depending on how it's used.

GRAW 2 uses the sixaxis very well. It actually makes it better then the x-box version imo.bob_the_can_man

Thank you, I was wondering when someone would mention this. The stance changes and rolling using the Sixaxis is great! Features like this, that complement the main controls are great! I however prefer not using the Sixaxis as the primary control method.

But using it to control things like the Hoverboard in UT3, and the weapons in Ratchat and Clank look to be great uses. There are tons of ways to exploit the Sixaxis controls without having to use it only.

But then what's the point? I'm not saying it has to replace analog or the dpad but if it's just to control insignificant things like a snake cam or a hoverboard, was it really worth it? Some people miss rumble now. Would anyone miss sixaxis if it wasn't in PS4?
