With all three consoles having some form of motion control device be it the Wiimote, the PS Move, or the 360 Kinect it seems that console makers want to be on the motion controlled band wagon to get everyone into the game. But I myself have yet to see or play with anything that convinces me that any one of these devices is more suitable than a standard controller. Even with my Wii I find myself plugging in a classic controller when I have the chance to use it settling for the Wiimote and Nunchuck, when it's my one and only option to play the game.
As for the PS Move and the 360 Kinect I still fail to see any games that compel to run out and get one or why I would substitute my controller for either of those devices to play Call of Duty. Especially after the abysmal showing at E3 I feel even less encouraged to spend the money on these devices.
Though it's not to say that there aren't any good examples of motion sensitive games like Red Steel 2, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, or Metroid Prime 3 ,but ask yourself honestly if you had the option to use the standard controls would you use them instead?
That's just my two cents though folks. What are your thoughts?
Motion Controls vs. Standard Controllers or Both
I enjoy using both a regular controller and motion controllers like the Move and the Wii remote. I still don't count Kinect as a motion "controller" .. Using that thing I am the motion controller no matter how stupid that sales speech sounds
Both, I suppose. But motion stuff is more about novelty than legitimate gaming to me. I only do motion gaming at parties/with people in the house.
If the game does motion controls in a way that's fun and adds to the experience, then I'm all for it. I've been playing Red Steel 2 recently, and that game is really fun! And if it was played with regular-ass controls, I don't think it'd be anywhere near as much fun.
