I dont doubt it one bit, but then again thats only to be expected with the controller. House of the Dead is easier to play than Gears of War after all.

Well don't get used to it because not many other shooters will achieve even passable controls. All Wii FPS's up to this point have been terrible.

That said I cant wait to play it.

Oh Matt, you and your outrageous claims. I'm sure MP3 will be great, but I doubt it will be the best console FPS ever.

HAHA, just because a guy says it plays better than any other in the genre (which it's not in it's FPA) doesn't make the game hardcore. The game videos look boring as hell and i don't want to hear about this game anymore. Stop trying sheep.

I find this hard to believe.PikaPichu

As do I. Doesn't it have some sort of auto-aim thing going on?

Besides, Matt Assamania is married to a Nintendo PR exec. Conflict of interest much? I never trust a word that guy says. If 1UP, GameSpot, G4 and IGN ALL say it, I'll believe it.

Real problem for me is the new linear level design and that they're really focusing on shooting, essentially turning an adventure game into an FPS with crappy graphics (compared to shooters on the other two) and zero online component.

Thank you for creating a GS account. I can tell you were inspired to make intellectual and worthwile contributions to the boards...

Moving on, this is where the wii-mote shines. I havent played it yet (obviously), so i cant say whether i agree with such a bold statement. But, i expect big things from this.Though one game proves nothing about the general focus of the company. When a company gives 20 mins to a non-game it should worry anyone, and from the looks of it, you're a little insecure.

You can lock the screen to a target but you still aim with the remote. I dont really like how you can move the crosshair all over thescreen without moving the camera. The gun should always point dead center like PC FPS's.

I hope it's better. I played CoD2 on 360 and I hated the aiming. The game was good but I just didn't like the aiming at all.

The Wiimote can work excellently for MP3,if Retro Studios get's it right,it may indeed have the best controller configuration for FPS on consoles.

that's because you got used to it. the mind easily adapts. i'm fine with my 360 controller too. best old gen controller there is.

But if you would have started playing fps games at the same time with the 360m controller and the wiimote, the outcome of that test would be easy to predict.

It's all about learning from other companies sucesses. If Metroid prime can achieve this level of control then the other publishers/developers will do the same. Plus the controls on other FPSers have been getting progressivly better leading up to MP3.

MP looks like a lot of fun, but what have really made it great would have been multi-player but again Big N is lazy when it come to online play. MP has a lot of potential for online multi-player!!!

Yes but targets are able to break the targeting lock after a few seconds or you might not be able to lock on at all (due to technology of who you are fighting against) I believe. Meaning you have to manually aim once that happens.

you sound mad :lol:

oh and metroid is not hardcore?

GOTY at gamespot says otherwise

and if you don't want to hear about metroid anymore, i got a suggestion for you: don't enter a thread about metroid prime 3.

now we're going to continue discussing this amazing, soon to be AAA game, whether you like it or not

cry about it.

We shall see -- no doubt it will be a great game, but im not sure if its 'the best console fps ever.'

Matt also LOVES Metroid, so -- his opinion will be somewhat bias.
