Topic: Hunters - I don't get the press's freaking problem (Metroid/FPS discussion)

Do you have any idea what pressing a button on a stylus does to your accuracy? Besides, pens with wires suck. If they got that EM tech from Wacom (unlikely, too expensive) they could use the pressure sensitivity (you can play UT2004 with that) and have buttons on the stylus without increasing its weight or adding wires. Maybe use a button on the unit itself instead of adding one on the stylus.

kdr is right

If hunters keeps the same feel of its gamecube bretheren then you don't need to turn and shoot at the same time.  Besides, you don't have to use the stylus if you don't want soo stop crying.

they could have

look/turn on the touchscreen  (it may be easier to maintain a firm hold on the system if you just use your thumb instead of the stylus)
forward/back/sidestep on the d-pad
weapon selection/jump etc. on the face buttons
L is fire
R is morphball (or missles or another fire button; morphball can be on the face buttons)

i dont really know how to have the morphball controls; maybe utilize the touchscreen (like in the rolling pacman game)

and of course, include a mirrored control scheme for those left handed freaks

am i missing anything?

"left handed freaks" WTF!!! you a hole,  I'm left handed!!!!!!!!!!

[Stimutacs Addict]

but the control scheme isn't that bad, is it?

[kurst_chao3030]
