Link says it all.

zomg, I think this is completely unneeded.  This will no doubt just push back the development even more. ugh.

Yeah, it's obvious why they're using it in Red Steel 2, but what does it add to a standard FPS?

[Stogi]

All I'm saying is, WHERE"S THE PROOF?!

Show me something, anything.

EDIT: I wonder what they're going to do with Motion+. I don't see much potential for it in FPS unless you want to pull off some MP3 or Red Steel type of interactions.

- The developer claimed that the no split screen was due to being unable to preserve the graphical prettiness under those conditions.

I don't know what more proof would be possible.

Anyway, personally, I'd much rather have a graphically not-as-pretty split screen mode included as opposed to no split screen mode at all. I mean, gameplay over graphics, right?  Plus, I assume it wouldn't affect the rest of the game modes having pretty graphics.

Thanks, I didn't see that post. I just assumed it was the same argument from a while back.

Just some things the team is implementing and they plan on fixing things that PAX participants said they had problems with.

I guess you could use the MotionPlus for grenade throws...That'd be interesting...

Why though? I'm not sure it would, I think they'll implement a locking grenade throw like in Heroes 2.  Currently Conduit doesn't have that.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

To actually advance the mechanics of grenade throwing in an FPS?

True variable height?  variable distance?  a direction other than "straight ahead"?  toss behind over your shoulder?  Roll around corners?  Drop at your feet as you flee a position?

A combat knife?

[DAaaMan64]

ya but most people like to shoot while throwing grenades. You can't do that with Motion+ because it only applies to the Nunny.

Although, combat knife would be amazing.

[Bill Aurion]

This isn't even realistic, so it'd be a welcome change...

No I disagree, I like accessible shooters, they are fun. Accessible shooters allow for less realism, and as such, I wanna throw my grenades and shoot.

[Bill Aurion]

Yeah, throwing in the added strategy of using either grenades or shooting would lower accessibility, so it's probably not best for this game...SOMEONE needs to do it though!

Use MotionPlus to grab enemy crotches, confusing everyone on screen while you sneak a grenade in.

Uh oh, Tingle Wii FPS incoming!

HACKER!

Ah screw you all. I like Halo.

1. Hold button
2. Take grenade out
3. Throw grenade
4. Release button
5. Pull previously held weapon out

EDIT:

"We're going to ship with a full single player campaign and both offline and online multiplayer. We're also working with Nintendo now on getting LAN play working [via system link]."

Wait what? Offline and online multiplayer, with LAN mentioned completely separately? But no split screen? What?

[NWR_insanolord]

1. Hold button
2. Take grenade out
3. Throw grenade
4. Release button
5. Pull previously held weapon out

Seems straightforward enough.

is this possibly saying split screen is in the game?

it mentions offline multiplayer and LAN play as two different entities.  I may just be reading what I want to see, but who knows?  I've got my salt.

They are talking about implementing it into single player dude. So like Co-op minus the full co-op. See Galaxy.

Some of the most tense and white knuckled action was shooting at each other than having someone throw a stick grenade. It was awesome.

Oh, well, damn my eyes!

Spinzilla, don't take that as me being rude. I asked about that personally at PAX.
