That one's called Move. It's mildly less dumb.

So is the horrible SIX-AXIS officially dead, then?

No. Games that use the regular controller will still abuse it like it's going out of style. Actually, there are some decent uses of SIX-AXIS.

'cause using 1980s zapper tech for motion is better!
 

Seeing as I've yet to play a game for the Wii that requires me to run back and forth across the room, and maybe two that actually required me to stand... Yes, it is indeed less stupid looking. The majority of Wii games I've played have all had me either using the Wiimote as an aiming device, doing quick simple motions with the wiimote, or, on occasion, both. I get that it's cool to hate the Wii, because quite honestly its library is shit, but it really isn't half as bad as you make it sound. Unless of course I missed the thirty major titles for the console that somehow look dumber than the video I just watched.

I could also go into how the Wii actually gives you a device to interact with and buttons to press, giving the player more opportunity for finesse that I really don't see happening with Natal anytime soon.

keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
 

I think the comment was intentionally self-derogatory. I'm ok with that.

Some? You mean there was more than 1 Heavy Rain game??



But yeah, that vid, that ain't gaming. That ain't gaming by a looong shot. I really do wish they'd just hurry up and release this crap already though, then everyone can go out and not buy it and Sony/Microsoft can see how nobody who plays their systems gives a damn about motion control.

Folklore did a decent enough job with it, I thought. I've also heard good things about Heavenly Sword or whatever it's called arrow aiming thing.

I'm hoping this fails in the market just as badly as the PSPGo, if not worse. (Assuming the tales I heard of the PSPGo bombing like crazy were indeed true)

It's a little telling when Wii Sports is the best use of the motion control...
 

I think I want it to, too. That way all the gimmicky bullshit can stay on the Wii where it won't bother anyone.



This isn't to say motion-sensitive games are all gimmicky bullshit or bad, but the overwhelming rush to develop for these projects will inevitably deluge us with loads of tripe that no one really wants to play, aside from some kids who like to flounder about the room with pretty lights and music.

Are you sure it's people who play their systems that they're trying to appeal to?
