what's your take on motion controllers?

I think motion controllers a la wiimote/move are the best way to interface to a videogame when it's properly made for that kind of controller. I can think of metroid games that play great with the combo wiimote + nunchuck. the great thing is that you can use the controller both vertically and horizontally according to what you have to do in the game, so you can swtich to a classic controller to a motion one at any given time. a hybird thing.

In games where you need to aim, I see motion controllers to be the best solution for them, and it feels like you're actually holding a gun or something, contrarily to having to move the analog stick to aim.

it should be interesting to see what Sony will do with their Move and how it'll be implemented in the games.

thoughts?

I got nothing against them, they work great with some games, but others ones not as much.

good for some games, not good for most.

My take is they need some improvements.

They should DIE:twisted:

I loved the way you make use of the the wiimote on Metroid Other M, they just need to be well implemented in the scheme of a game. a classic controller does some things poorly, like aiming, while the wiimote can be used for different purposes.

I like some motion sensor games, but there is still room for improvement. Kinect doesn't use any controllers, at least not yet.

good for some games, not good for most.

I think they are great but currently they aren't great for all genres but they are great for most of the genres I tried them with. I can't wait to try Portal 2 with the Razer Hydra.

If implemented well, they are fantastic. Sadly, they rarely are. I am waiting to see if anything ever gets done with MLB the Show. I know '11 will have Move capability, but only in the HR derby. If and when they set it up for rtts, and it's done well, then I may just have to purchase. Also, I would like to see, eventually, a Harry Potter Universe RPG. Think it would be brilliant as a wand. I thought it would be great with a Star Wars title, but have come to realise that just waving your lightsaber around to try and deflect weapon fire would get old quick.

It has a chance to stick around. If there is no support of it, or poorly implemented, then it will die a quick death.

I love motion controls. Implementation makes a big differance to how good the experience is, Metroid Prime was the best SP FPS experience I;ve had since the first time I played Doom.

I'm certain that in time they will become the most common form of consol control. Dual analogue fanboys are like Magnetic Tape lovers c1993. The future of gaming controls is here and its not going away.

They're a fun way to toy around with and immerse yourself in, but not something I'd do for gaming every day. DethSkematik

It's a great addition to gaming when used properly.

I don't really mind the motion controls. I just would like to actually see good games be released and not the shovelware we normally get. Playing a party game from time to time is fun and all...but I'd like something more...of a game.

i have the move... cant wait for some games to come out for it tho....lol
