Wii not so great for FPS.

I'd like to bring up the subject of First Person Shooters on the Wii, many sheep say that the Wii is the best console for these games and offer more responsive controls then the PC. I don't think that is true at all, the problem being is that the wii mote is responsive. Too responsive, you see while aiming if your hand moves in the slightest the cursor moves and throws off the aiming, I'm sure there are settings to lower this, much like a PC; however your hand is resting on a desk while controlling the mouse to your PC, where as your hand is dangling in the air while playing the wii.

I own Metroid Prime 3, and I couldn't stand it for the first couple of levels due to the free-aim. Luckily Retro put in the older style of controls, that was in Metroid Prime and Echoes, where you could lock on to your enemy. I've been viewing some Conduit videos on IGN and while the game looks good, I've also noticed how the guy playing misses the target far to often even when the enemy is right in from of him. Unfortunately for the conduit it's not an FPA like Metroid so you can't really have a lock on system that lets you shoot and always hit the target. So I have to disagree when Sheep the wii is made for FPS.

yes wii has the best controls for any game except hmm i dont know but ya wii has the most realistic control setup then any console before it

you can rally for 360 if you like but loads of people dont have 400 dolllars every month that a 360 fails ,

The Wii is terrible for FPS. The wii fanboys have tryed to prove me wrong but in reality its horrible.

Aiming is just god awful and doesen't feel very comfortable. And besides the aiming the other controls are also really bad. Id take a gamepad over the terrible Wii controls anyday.

I've heard some say that they are superior then PC. I've only played MP3:c and resident evil: Umbrella Chronicles (even though that's on rails). I'm sure The Conduit will be good, even if it does look a little generic. It has shaped up a lot since it was first shown, I was watching the first level on IGN and just noticed the issue of the shots being fired all around the enemy before actually landing a hit.

I do not think anyone said Wiimote controls for FPS's are better than PC. They are more realistic. They are also more responsive and faster than dual analog..SMR-Venom

FPS will work better with the new remote coming out even though MP3 and MOH2 both controlled very well.

IGN about MP3 "Not only do the new controls respond quicker and with more precision than any dual-analog-helmed FPS ever created, but the gesture system works brilliantly, too"

Gameplay
Spectacular. Controls better than any console first-person game before it, features great pacing and a fun mix of puzzles and shooting. In contrast, there's a tedious fetch quest and some door loads.

FPS is easier to play on the Wii than the other consoles -- but a big part of FPS is online and voice chat, both of which are kind of hard to use on the Wii.Haziqonfire

Wii FPS titles are terrible compared to proper PC shooters, anyway. Wii owners like to insult dual-analog, but in the meantime, the PC gamers are laughing at the sheep for thinking that Wii is the king of shooters.GinoNYC

I'm willing to admit, despite being quite vocal about disliking the Wii on so many levels, the Wiimote HAS THE POTENTIAL to be a standard for FPS controls on a Console. Some of the very few (key words "VERY FEW") highly proven and rated FPS have proven the Potential of the Wiimote for FPS.

The Biggest problem is like I said and someone eles said, Wii has very few FPS in it's library to prove this. And SEVERELY needs MORE.

Its know-here as good for FPS as everyone thought it would be.

The wiimote is surprisingly poor in fluidly navigating a 3D environment from the first person perspective.

Surprises even me that the mouse and keyboard is still the most fluid and suitable control method.......

The Wiimote could completely destroy dual analogs if 3rd parties cared to make any important contributions to follow up MP3, but as usual, the Wii is the farthest thing from their minds.

well look at CoD:WaW sales (they're terrible)

The first wii FPSs were so bad that it killed everyones interest in them. It will take a really really good exclusive FPS with good marketing to get people to notice FPSs on the wii again.

Does locking the reticule in the center of the screen not work well with the wiimote? because it doesn't seem like any of the developers do that with FPS wii games.AAllxxjjnn

Multiplats will never do well on the weakest console with the worst online capabilities.

I wish Valve would make a Wii-exclusive shooter. It would have built-in notoriety and hype, and would most likely end up being really good. Sadly, I don't think Valve even wants to acknowledge that consoles exist.

At the very least, its better than dual analogs and is arguably better than kb/m atmosphere-wise.nitekids2004

There are only 4 real Wii FPS i can even think of

Medal of Honour..... something,

CoD;WaW; Gimped edition.

MP3

and.... Red steel *shudders*

PC> Nintendo DS> DUal analog>Wii

It is the best console for FPS controls... if done correctly. I thought Metroid controls were good, reviews also praised it, but I can't help you if you didn't like it. I didn't like Metroids controls on the DS, it was too awkward, but that got praise.EuroMafia

Another reason is that splitscreen can't be done on wii because you need your controller pointed in that corner of the screen the entire time.nintendoman562

You don't (or you shouldn't anyway) hold your arm in the air to play. Anyone that plays a Wii knows that for a serious/deep game you rest your arms/elbows on your legs. This limits movement allowing for more precision, not to mention that it actually makes marathon gaming possible.

Also, people with sense don't dare say the Wii is better control than KB/M. I'd say KB/M takes the gold with Wii only earning a few extra points for being naturally fun, but the point is that it's significantly better than Dual Stick. Thus Wii enjoys the bragging rights of having the best console controls for FPS.

Ok, so maybe the Wii is not that great for FPS... or RPGs or puzzle games or racers or... well... anything...If on the other hand you are a fan of $50 mini game collections that are slapped together over a weekend for a couple of grand then you are in the right place.

Ok, ok take it easy there, that's just a joke...well mostly a joke.
