Look at the damage the Wii has done to Motion Control Gamers (SC TT Video)

Funny video

[Tyrien]

Oh Gee, an 8 year old that doesn't understand how to play a video game inside and out. Damn you nintendo, damn you.

It's funny how Nintendo created the whole motion control gamer scene to try and motivate people to get up and move when all people do is sit back or lie down and shake the Wiimote like crazy. I'm not blaming Nintendo for that, they can't control the way people play their games, but they could've made the controls more accurate so you actually have to swing the remote to swing the bat, just like Move. I've played Sports Champions (with Carl, nonetheless) and it's really impressive how responsive the controls are. I could move my Move wand anywhere and it would be recreated perfectly on screen. I think that's why I lost, I was too amazed by the technology at hand.

If only Nintendo had adopted 1:1 right from the get go, Sony wouldn't stand a chance. Can you imagine a Metroid game with pin-point precise controls? C'mon Nintendo, make it happen!

Metroid works fine as it is with the current Wii Remote scheme, it doesn't even use Wii Moton plus and there is nothing wrong with the aiming or anything like that.

i don't blame the wii. I blame the people using the wii for cheating. While the Wii isn't 1:1, you can still swing it like you should and it works just fine. When my kids convert from Wii to Move, they won't have these issues. They didn't cheat themselves by flicking the Wiimotes.

Why waste the added energy to get the same effect? I agree with you, but that's the question people would ask.

I'd return with, "Why cheat yourself of the experience?". What's the point of playing with motion controls if you're not going through the motions?

unfortunately, people cheat their way through all sorts of crap. look at Modern Warfare 2. loaded with cheaters. go to a gym and watch people throw weights around instead of actually controllably lifting them... that is another way of cheating. if it can be done, people will do it. the nice thing about Move is it doesn't allow it as much if at all. you have to perform the correct actions or it doesn't work. take the ability of cheating away from people and they won't be able to do it. that would be the best solution.

They are using motion control despite it being limited compared to what Move may have. For the most part, when people do play motion control games on Wii they tend to stand up and get "into it" even though you don't have to exert yourself so much to play it. More than likely it's just a natural tendency based on the subject content, for lack of a better phrase. Indeed, with Move the game may actually allow for more realistic capture of your motions and that's definitely a more authentic experience as a result, but in the grand scheme of things it's no more of a legitimate experience than what people are already doing on Wii with their actions despite the lack of that 1:1 fidelity.

It may make it easier to pick up on by simplifying the interface like that but the user themselves may interpret it completely different and react to it as such. Hence the kid in the video simply waggling the controller left and right and seemingly preferring to do it that way after multiple warnings.

WoW, The Move falls on my wife's birthday, so that means I won't be playing it day 1.

Then you have your priorities all messed up for sure.

Hehe, I had no idea it's the same day cause she had plans for us along with friends and family to hang out, celebrate and hit the clubs that night. Something tells me she knew it falls on that day but I'm still getting it.

The father comes across as an ***, way to make your kid like Move.

The problem with that though is that sometimes it works better to flick than actually swing. If you use a full swing sometimes the paddle onscreen would swing WAY too soon or too late, it wouldn't accurately tell when the actual swing was. So flicking the wrist was a short enough motion for the Wii to get the correct timing of the swing.

Trust me, I was like you. And sure, it's fun trying to look like you are really playing, but when it doesn't work right like that it defeats the purpose. I might as well get SOME enjoyment out of it by being competitive while at the same time taking the frustration of finicky controls out of the equation.

This actually happened with most Wii games, and is the main reason why flicking got so popular. It was just easier and more reliable. The reliable part being key.

I know right. Who is so pumped about Move that they want to make their kid look silly on the internet just to prove a point. Priorities need a fixing.
