360 could be getting motion controller - Dec 28, 2007 10:05

According to XboxFamily.com, the Xbox 360 could soon be getting Microsoft-endorsed motion controls. Rumor has it that Microsoft has licensed Gyration to build the peripheral, a company you may know from building a prototype for Nintendo of the now-famous Wiimote. (That' s the original prototype pictured here.)

But really, do we need more motion controls right now? I mean, we could certainly use some that work better, but especially if Microsoft is building a separate controller that will only be used for a handful of games, it' s doubtful that we' ll see anything better than we' ve already got on other systems.

ZOMG! INNOVATIONZ!

Fuck motion control for now.

Honestly, flame me if you want.

In 90% of the cases I' ve used Motion Control in games it has been a less than enjoyable experience. Until game companies can perfect motion control and make it better than a regular button press, then I don' t want it.

The ps3 motion controls are almost always bad, and the Wii' s are merely tolerable at best.

I just LOVE being able to guide my projectiles :D Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

Specially on consoles as the PS3 and 360 which weren' t built around the stuff like the Wii was. I don' t mind having it, but I don' t understand why would Microsoft start now? < Message edited by chimura -- 28 Dec 07 4:50:38 >

People are likening this rumoured attachment to the Nintendo Wii controller, when in truth if a peripheral is ever revealed (God willing, it won' t) it will most likely be more akin to the Playstation 3' s SIXAXIS/TOUCHSENSE. It wouldn' t make sense to attach accelerometers to a controller designed to fit in two hands. At most it would have gyroscopic functionality.

I personally think it' s kitschy & unimaginative. Of all the things that Microsoft could be doing to improve their standing in the games industry, motion sensing is not it.
