Hey everyone, got the all time question for everyone. Now that all the systems are impleminting some sort of motion controller or camera onto their system just like the Wii, I want to see what everyone thinks of this. My question is, do you prefer to move your body to play the game or relax on that cheeto filled bean bag and push the buttons on the controller?

Me I prefer to sit down and relax. I'm mainly a computer Junkie and a console person second. I've had a PC all my life but I've also grown up with Sega and Sony (Not a PS3 fanboy, I'm a PC fanboy). Besides what's going to happen when they decide to make a motion game using the action genre like God of War or iNfamous?

Opinions?

I like using my controller. I don't really like motion controls.

I prefer using a regular button pushing controller over a motion sensing controller. 

I really shouldn't say  ;-)

At this point I really would pick a controller over motion controls in a heart beat.

But we don't know enough regarding the motion controls to really say one way or the other I don't think.

I'll gladly take waggle waving over massive button mashing anyday.  It's so much easier.

I definitely will stick to a controller.

I think it would greatly depend on what I'm going to play if I'm going to sit down and play for many hours I want a button controller but a casual experience or if I'm only going to play for a short time motion controls could be fun

For the most part a button controller will be my main choice and not geting tired while a shoot junk

Both, please.

Also, your question is inherently faulty. 90% of Wii games you can play laying on a couch resting your arms in your lap. Don't believe Ondor's lies - Gesture-based gameplay with buttons is where it's at.

i'll go with Brain Implants that connect directly to the neuron receptors in order eliminate the lag time it takes the brain to issue your fingers to move.

If the games work well with motion controls, why not? If they work better with controller though - DualShock for me.

Both at once.

It all depends on the game. These things you know... can and will co-exist.

It obviously depends on the games, I mean for normal games that I will play with people online and within the genres I enjoy now, I'll prefer a normal controller for and that won't change. However, Sony's motion thing, and project Natal at the same time look like they could work into a ton of fun things.

Buttons. Less tiring. And i look less of an idiot.

Button, until they come up with virtual reality helmets, then I'm not really up for gettting up and looking like a tad bit of an idiot.

Using the left side of the controller with the wand can be nice, or if the wand comes with a nunchuck.

I avoided motion controls until I encountered Resident Evil 4- Wii Edition. Now, I truly understand the potential that motion controls have to compliment button-pressing, and the synthesis of the two is incredible, when done correctly.

There's room for both of them to exists and I enjoy using both.

Buttons, I hate motion control with every fiber of my being.

buttons until further notice

A mix of both is the best way.  Some of the best examples of motion controls featured a small to moderate amount of motion.  Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are probably the best examples of motion and buttons working together for the greater good.

Button pushing, I don't even like it when PS3 games use the Sixaxis controls.

button pushing will always work (except for the rare game that is just that bad)

and in my experience, motion is a little messed up even in the best coded games.

so until someone can show me a motion thing that does what i am actually trying to do 100% of the time (which probably will never happen) i will always say a controller

The 360 controller is an extension of my brain by now...  I just laugh at the people who actually have to look down and think about what button to press.

Motion controls just feel unnatural at this stage.  Once they become more polished, they may become more enjoyable, but I'll always prefer a controller in my hands.

Buttons above all.

For actual gamers, an 8 button control scheme is natural.

I prefer my controller. But I  think I will enjoy getting off the couch every once in a while to play a game. Especially at parties.

I prefer the game to ask which I'm in the mood for. There's no reason to be locked into one scheme or the other. Most sixaxis games are good at enabling this choice.

I like the look of Sony's thing and I'd love to play crazy games with it but I wanna play Street Fighter with a stick or controller.

Fuck motion. All I want to do is play a damn game, with a controller. I think this motion gimmick is all bullshit. If you want to move around, just get your ass outside people.

I'm looking forward to a day when all I have to do is look and think for things to happen on screen.  Only then will I achieve true gaming lethargy...I mean, bliss.

Both have there merits, but I do like to sit on my gaming chair and play with my Wii remote.

It depends entirely on how well the controls are implimented, on both forms of control.  Also the game itself, by that I mean what's more conducive for a better gameplay experience for the player. 

Well, I didn't buy a PS3 to use a motion controller.

I have to say I prefer the current PlayStation approach above all others. The idea of using the typical button-mashing techniques while also implementing motion when it seems useful. A good example would be Killzone 2 with the valves.
