" Personally, I'm kind of excited to see where motion control takes us, especially after a few years when its been refined and we can see how it will work for games in the future.  I'm especially excited for the next logical step after that, which to me would be controller-less motion support with tactile feedback of some sort.  It would be neat to have little velcro strips with tactile feeds to several different parts of the body.  It would be cool as hell to pretend to drive a car and feel the vibration through more than just my hands. "

"Also I don't want to buy more crap just to play good games. "

" I wouldn't count out motion controls entirely.  We've only just seen the first step with the Wii Remote so motion controls have nowhere to go but up.However, I do believe buttons will always have a place in video games.  They're not going away... ever. "

" "I like being able to sit in a calm state instead of waving my limbs around like an Orangutan being attacked by a large swarm of Hornets."

I've played a lot of Wiigames and never have I ever seen myself in this manner. If you play the Wii this way, you are playing it wrong.

A flick of the wrist and a steady hand for the IR... that's all that is needed.

Diatribe... that's a word.

" Ok so i'm not saying that motion control doesn't have potential, I just resent the way it's being built up as the future of gaming, as though it's some sort of meaningful progression from the current controller system we have in place.Also, I repeat, nothing meaningful has ever come of motion control.Someone needs to take away claude's golf clubs before he hurts somebody :D "

I think gameplay will go forward with more ways to control an actual game; that just makes sense. I don't see how graphics will be compromised, either. "

One of the most popular genres at the moment is the shooter. On a normal controller every button is used to do things like swithcing weapons and grenades, aiming down the sights and reloading. If you try make a shooter with motion controls  how  would you even  shoot? (im talking about natal and sony's motion controls mainly) "

Well, with Natal there is no controller, so obviously a shooter wouldn't work, but Nintendo has buttons on their motion controller and I'm sure Sony's will, as well. However, I don't think motion controls work as well with shooters. I like the keyboard and mouse or a traditional gaming pad when it comes to shooters. That's fine, motion controls won't work for every game, but there is room for both motion controls and traditional controls in the gaming industry. Most games will have the option to play with both, I would imagine.Still, my argument stands that adding motion controls will actually improve gameplay moving forward because there are simply more options. There are more genres then shooters and boiling it down to one genre is not really a good argument... and I still don't see how the graphics would be compromised. "

How would racing games work? (that burnout paradide demo will not be nice to play) "

Whatever. None of that matters anymore. What's important is that I just realized how much you love pie. This changes everything. "
