im not against buttons, im against people saying "people wil get tired of doing the same motions for wii over and over again" because since SNES we've done the same motions in almost every fighter (except smash, god bless it) with a dpad and button press or hold. to relate to any youth that isnt familiar with those days think about how almost every FPS on a console has the same control scheme, so we're doing those motions repeatadly too.
honestly, who here would want to do marios fireball attack in smash by inputting something like: v,> B or this uppercut be: v,>,^ Y. how about links spin attack, wouldnt it be fun to have to input: <, v, > A?
we've been doing the same motions in gaming for a long time now and thankfully wii is offering something different and new.
Ooops. I'm sorry. I was actually completely agreeing with you. I didn't mean to make you think I was directing that at you. I was actually directing that at the post you were replying to and using your post as support. I suppose I should have been more explicit in that.
I've always thought that motion control was going to be the next leap. I remember playing SMB back on the NES and wondering why when I jumped and raised the controller a little bit that I didn't jump that little bit higher. It took me a while to realize that the button was the only real interface. The controller itself didn't do anything. Ever since then though I've been waiting for the Wii.
Motion control is the future. We're not going to be putting on VR helmets and then using button based controllers to interact with the world. We're going to expect to be able to actually reach out with our own two hands and interact with everything. The Wii is the first step in that direction. Sure it isn't as if we're able to reach into a virtual world and interact with things with our own hands yet. It's more like using a stick or a baseball bat. A sword or a magic wand. You can't do everything with it but at least it's a step in the right direction. And it's light years ahead of a simple button press.
I've said it over and over and over again but no one seems to understand it.
People are afraid of what they don't know. Gamers are afraid of motion control because it's new. They don't know the real promise it brings. And they won't understand it until they give it a try. Sadly a good number of gamers are so afraid of it, and the idea that it will bring massive changes to games, that they won't even do that. They'd rather sit back and press a button because it's comfortable and familiar. They're like an infant with a baby blanket. It's these same people who retard advancement at every step. If they don't understand it, it must be bad. Eventually though the world moves on with or without them.
Button based controllers are like the dinosaurs and the Wii comet has just struck the earth.
Where will you be when the dust settles?
