Jay Balmer, associate producer for EA's new skateboarding sim entitled Skate, told CVG: "If you're well-behaved with the controller, the motion control will be super cool. It won't just be steering [in Skate]; we're going to put a lot more into the motion controls than just steering," speaking of the inclusion of motion control in the PS3 version of Skate.
"But it's very messy," he goes on to say, referring to motion control as an interface.
"All of the sensors are active and all reporting information at the time, so we really have to find a way to filter what comes through on the motion controls so that everyone can have fun with them. "Like I said if you're well behaved with the controls they work great but if you're jerky or jumping around the signal becomes very messy," as Wii owners will probably have frustratingly found when toying with their new console.
"It's the reality for the Wii, as it is for the PS3," says Balmer.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
There seems to be so much negative hype about the PS3 and now publishers are calling the controls "messy"? Man, this isn't looking good.
DCRider I kind of reject the title, since in the article he says that all motion control is messy...
I think what the article was saying is that each sensor in motion control recieves signals and that the software to filter this is not up to scratch. So it's hard to make the character do what you want it to (at the developer stage)
Anyway we do know the ps3 sixaxis isn't as good as the wii controllers...but still...
We're giving excuses to consumer's now so when we fk it up you can blame Sony instead of us.
EA sucks. Period.
Taken out of context, anyway I think what he is trying to say is that it takes getting used to being able to use the controller properly. But if you figure it out, it can be pretty fun.
they cant make games, there for their voices are not valid, period.
Start making some good games, and I might listen to your opinions, until then, continue publishing good titles.. and maybe improve your 1st party offerings, nob jockeys.
