RIP the Wii

[CDdude55]

Why are so many people dissing the Move when yall haven't even tried it? So quick to say its a gimmick and all just because its different?

It works and its fun.

Innovation isn't in the idea, its in the quality of the product. 3D Movements and Tracking items on the Move so you can see a sword in you hand is innovation to me.

And this whole Wanna Be Gamers vs Real Gamers crap is really annoying. Gaming is Gaming, what you do it on and what you do it with is just preference.

Anyone who thinks the Move is just around to swing some stick in the air is dead wrong and really needs to look up info on the Move.

I agree.

And i have a PS3 and have yet to try Move, i just don't think it's for me at this moment. It seems mainly aimed at the casual market, and the games generally in that market aren't very appealing to me. I'll wait and see what other games come out for move, then i'll make a decision on whether or not it's worth it.

I'm actually going to check out some more videos on it and the games to get more of a sense of how it works and how the games compliment it.

Also, i don't think Move is a great thing for us gamers that just want to game and not get a workout while we do. lol(i just want to sit on my ass and game lol)

EDIT: never mind, i just saw someone playing Socom with it while they were sitting down.... it needs more of those games lol

Yeah I can dig that. If its not for you it its not for you But the great thing is you can sit and Game with the Move it all just depends on the game. For instance RUSE, you can sit and game and it makes RTS a whole lot better on the console (and in my opinion more entertaining). The only thing is you'd have to hold a really light controller in your hand vs having a mouse held up by a desk.

I was going to wait before I got the move due to its price, but I just couldn't wait.

I wasnt dissing the move because it's different... rather the fact that it's nothing new. Although the more I think about it Wii graphics are voice queues are pretty annoying. So if I did want to invest in a console for media, hardcore gaming, and family novelty gaming I would/will probably buy a PS3.

Not really. If you plug any current gen console into a CRT TV via the standard composite cable that comes with all new consoles, it looks terrible. But plug the 360 or PS3 into an LCD TV @ 720p/1080p, they look great, considering how old the technology is now.

The same can not be said about the Wii. I have used a Wii with a component cable, yeah it looked better than the same console connected to the same 42" LCD via a composite cable, but the graphics quality was still very poor (because its still only a low powered console running at only 480p or 576i)

The GPU/CPU in the Wii is nowhere near as powerful as the ones in the 360 or PS3, this is why the graphics are crap.

What game did you play on Wii? Im not talking about 80% of childware that's on wii.


Soul calibor 2 looked better on GCN than Soul calibor 4 on Xbox. I saw it my self real life at a friend.

don't you all know that the wii, kinect and move are all part of a government conspiracy to force fat gamers to get into shape?

I like that!

Fight the power! Be fat and lazy!

If this were true I'd be the new James Madison.

I think we all need to agree that NOTHING will beat having buttons etc:



But motion controllers can be good also, if implimented right

That's probably one of the best controller Ive seen in years.

That's shirt is too short for her. You're suppose to put your fingers on it not above it .

I know, I wouldnt even care what the graphics were like on that console

If I can't sit on my ass and relax on my couch while playing a game, it's a gimmicky piece of crap, period. The whole purpose of video gaming for me is specifically to NOT EXERCISE. 90% of the stuff that's gonna release for this is gonna be just like Wii.

Like the Wii, impossible. (3D motion, Camera, Voice Recording (Possibly Commands), Embedding Weapons on the Controller, 16 Million Color LED for Motion Accuracy in any environment.) Like the Wii lol you make me laugh.

Is it a gimmick, hardly. I can respect the fact you want to sit on your ass when you game, you should show some respect to those who don't. I just had a blast with my Family playing Start the Party and me Personally had tons of fun Playing Ruse and I'm already 2 Hours into Sports Champions I for one am really glad this exists.

What I really can't wait is for an immersive RPG maybe like Fable with Bows and Swords that I can use my move controllers with, cause the Archery and Gladiator games on Sports Champions has me drooling for more.

Meh. Still a gimmick. Uber technology doesn't make it any less gimmicky.

I personally hope it fails so companies don't start focusing exclusively on motion control, and screw those of us who game to relax out of our enjoyment.

I wouldn't call this "Uber" Technology but it most certainly is Technology that works.

To think that Sony (Or any company for that matter) spending time on developing the Move as potentially screwing over the classic and original style of gaming since the day gaming was born is asinine.

Im exactly the same. I dont like jumping around like a tw@ after a long day at work. I want to veg out with a pad in my hand. But, I will admit to enjoying the Move right now. Hopefully, its not solely because its a new toy lol

I had a go of Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition and found that to be quite good with the Wiimote. Im sure even us lazy sods will find some good titles to make use of the motion controller with

It's not asinine if it starts to sell big. Developers will start to prefer deving for it over the conventional controls as it will provide them with more sales. Yet, their production budgets don't increase. Meaning that, while the game may technically support a regular controller, it doesn't mean it will support it well. They have to sacrifice dev costs somewhere.

It's perfectly reasonable for a gamer of my type to be worried over this. Just look how much attention motion control has been getting lately.

I dont want the game devs to move away from control pad support in favour of motion I would like the choice to use either

The wii gets boring.. and so will M$ and Shitonys motion thingers...

Your still talking hypothetically and I still doubt that all games will ever become Move Exclusive. You'll have games designed specifically for Move or Games that were made for normal controllers patched to support the Move never the other way around.

Even if sales are extraordinarily good and sales seem to suggest everyone in the market is buying Move and Move games you still can't replace the controller, ergo why I think what your saying is asinine. I also doubt developers will not be able to implement regular control's do to price cuts... come on thats like the easiest thing to develop in a game and all this is assuming the absolute worst case scenario for normal controllers.

Also when I say I Move I mean to imply all Motion Controllers used in every and any console.

I have a feeling that it will just be a case of games being 'Move compatible', not essential. When it comes to hardcore games I mean. Not move tech demo titles lol.

Honestly guys, if your thinking about picking up Move, give it a go, whats the worst that can happen?

Yeah exactly. Wile was just saying he hopes the Move fails (That hurt my feelings) because he thinks its going to take all the thunder away from normal gaming people which just isn't true.

It is fun and I'm willing to bet Wile would lose a few pounds with this lol.

Standard controls are easy to screw up as it is. You still get games with shit controls to this very day. You think adding yet another thing to dev for is going to make the situation any better?

Nope, still not asinine. It's a very real possibility if this takes off.

 

[HookeyStreet]

I can understand what Wile is saying, because I used to say the same thing. If the major titles support pad and move, there is no problem

And I'm just trying to say that you'll either have games meant for Move or normal games that get patched to use Move. So you won't have developers developing less for one and more for another. Thus no change in quality (If any) for either one.

If the games devs develope the title with control pad use in mind, but then release an update for move use, everyone will be happy The good thing is, Move is not the primary controller, the pad is. Unlike the Wii situation.
