Console Controllers: The Issue of Current Motion Sensing Devices

Let’s be honest for a moment; with all the hype of Microsoft Kinect and PlayStation Move; allow me to analyze the issue with them. While both are fairly decent devices, neither have truly amounted to the expectations of what real game interaction should accomplish.

U have to start somewhere!

After owning the wii and kinect, I honestly dont think anything will be more effective than something you as digital/specific as a typical controller or mouse & keyboard until they perfect mind-reading technology. Wii controller, PS move, and kinect are good with party games at best.

So maybe 10-15 years.

Skyward sword and some other move games were 1:1.... Is doesn't get more accurate than that...

Damn casuals ruining gaming

Motion controls are a gimmick. Nothing more nothing less. Nobody plays the Wii anymore, and the Kinect and PS Move never had the impact neither company expected. Instead we were given even MORE crappy shovelware games pandered to housewives from the Great Plains that have nothing better to do with their lives. Just with this shit already...

I don't think motion games are a gimmick,with wii it suffered from limited tech,kinect I believe Ms didn't know how to use it and with Sony it's more of a third party problem and not refining what they've put out,if you visit iwaggle3d on YouTube or his website with the same name,he shows how move implementation works,some of the games that move worked best with needed sequels or games that move enhanced required better execution.

Skyward Sword disagrees...
Gaming is essentially a kind of virtual reality... If your in a game where you swing a sword I fail to see what's gimmicky about swinging the controller like a sword... I think it's more an issue of being lazy or closed minded

skyward sword is ONE of the few games that motion gaming got right.. Theres LOTS more the just suck.. If devs took their time & did it right like nintendo does, it wouldnt be bad as an OPTION.. not forced

Kinect= "Xbox, play modern warfare 3" *game starts*... such a cute n cuddly feature!

Console Controllers: The Issue of Current Motion Sensing Devices is this: They exist.

All you bedwetters wanted it. It came. It sucks (like some said it would).

Give it up already. No one wants motion gaming.
