Motion-Controller FPS Done (Almost) Right

When the Wii was first announced, way back in 2005, I was thrilled by the prospect of the motion controller. I knew that it could come off as gimmicky, if not handled well, but I also knew that it had the potential to revolutionize gaming. In the past five years, the motion controller has sort of done both. It has become a staple for family-centric party games, but also has been largely shunned by the hardcore audience. Part of the reason for this is that the Wii does not output in 1080 high definition, which is becoming a necessity to the hardcore gamer, but another reason for this shunning is that no one has really perfected the first-person shooter (FPS) with the motion controller.

I swear to Thoth, we shouldn't have to deal with "almost" when stuff costs this much.

Personally, I liked the motion controlled FPS in The Conduit. Does that make me crazy?

crunchychocobo5341d ago

@bgrundman Possibly.

At least I'm not that into FPSes. Then when Sorcery comes out, I'll be so pleased with the motion control experience. Right?

bgrundman5341d ago

I am betting no, but that is just me...

I like Wii FPS'es...they are simple to control and all :) don't need move to play FPS, wii controls are enough for me.. (MOH: heroes 2, Conduit, others ...) ..and yes I didn't read article :)

"Wii does not output in 1080 high definition, which is becoming a necessity to the hardcore gamer, but another reason for this shunning is that no one has really perfected the first-person shooter (FPS) with the motion controller."

soo much fail...
I can tell from the statment he has not played Prime 3, Red Steel 2, MWR, Conduit, or MOH:H2

despair5341d ago

and I can tell you didn't read the article as he specifically mentions MWR and Conduit.

"he has not played Prime 3, Red Steel 2, MWR, Conduit, or MOH:H2"
Has anyone played those games on the wii?

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga1d 10h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0071d 1h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein1d 7h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
