yea this may be a superior fps controller than the mouse actually. Or at least a precursor to such a device. You'd need an elbow rest in order to last long without getting tired though. Hello armchairr3t wrote:I actually think this controller idea is briljant. It's basically a 3D pointing device, capable of detecting it's relative movements in 3D space, and it's also able to detect roll, yaw and pitch! That will make for one BADASS FPS controller.
Imagine this... main controller in one hand, controlling looking up/down and left/right (like the mouse now), and in the other hand an analog stick device. And then the shotgun... you reload it by flicking the controller quickly up and down, just like you see it done in Doom I and II!
Don't worry. You can still hook Gamecube controllers to it so if a game really requires a more classic control scheme, then a Cube controller will take care of that.DooMer wrote:Thats pretty goddamn sweet. people still play pc games even though you have to move your mouse around.
Only bad thing is that theres only like 2 buttons. xbox360 and ps3 have like 23213123 buttons. It will probably lack even more in the game department than the n64 and gamecube ever did.
THE DS IS A GIMMICK. Thats why there are no games for the thing and the games that do come out are cross platform tripe with shitty visuals and added "touch the screen a few times" extras. Its only a rare few nintendo gems that make GREAT use of the touch screen.Eraser wrote:http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60913
People said the DS was a gimmick...
Developers are very enthousiastic about the possibilities with the new controller. Many games would still be playable with this new controller.DooMer wrote:That kinda sucks though. Then people would be forced to buy something else. I dont think the developers would like that either.
because those 8 pages with shit in them contain shit backed up by arguments. Nobody writes "it's shit" and leaves it at that. You're the only one doing that.o'dium wrote:I love the fact people have 8 page long posts in here with shit in them and "IM" the one that gets picked out.

Nintendo said the Revolution's graphical power would be comparable to the XBox 360 and PS3. They're just not focusing on it, and that's good, because the age where good games are defined by how they look should be left behind us. There's more in the world than polycount and shaders.o'dium wrote:It sucks because when i've been at work all day the last thing i want to do is sit down in front of my HD TV and play a shit looking game on my revolution because its not as powerful as the rest
You don't need buttons. Buttons don't equal good gameplay. The DS proves this. Open your mind and see how if you keep yourself constrained to classic input devices, you'll also limit the number of possibilities in genres of games. I think everyone by now agrees that every single genre in existence has been completely saturated by games, clones of games and clones of clones of games.o'dium wrote:with shit gameplay because there are not buttons,
I don't believe for a second that this controller will cause physical stress.o'dium wrote:and wave my arms about like a faggot when i'm, already tired.
It's different. I don't doubt that you can relax while playing with that controller. If you're too tired to hold up a 50 gram remote control then you need your muscles checked because you probably have Parkinson.o'dium wrote:Its shit because i like to SIT DOWN, chill out, relax and play a game. Not have to wave my arms about the place and understand what direction rolls the fucking goomba on the screen.

WTF? It's the fucking cheapest piece of hardware out there in console land :icon27: €99 for a cube + mariokart. Not exactly a big hit on your wallet.o'dium wrote:and huge price tag
If graphics equal good consoles, then there's a chance that you're right. Two things:o'dium wrote:and now the revolution is shit because its nowhere near as good as the other consoles and it makes the PS3 pad look like a god send.
Yes, you're entitled to an opinion, but simply stating that it's shit in a discussion forum is not enough. It makes you look like a whiney idiot or a troll.... or most likely both.o'dium wrote:Its shit, because its what i think, and i'm entitled to my fucking oppinion. So fuck off Eraser with your "come back, quote, analize and reply" posts you always do, because THE ABOVE is what i "THINK" and no matter how wrong i may be to you, its right to have your own "OPPINION".
Its shit.
There are quite a few games out there that can't be done without the stylus: Kirby, Yoshi touch & go, meteos, mario 64 DS and Metroid Hunters (accepting the fact that there's no analogue controller which easily breaks off *cough*).o'dium wrote:THE DS IS A GIMMICK.

I've had my DS for only half a year and I already own 10 games, which I all love very much. The only exception maybe being NFS Underground 2, which is, yes, again your average "classic" control style game. Nothing special, just a handheld version of a NFS game.o'dium wrote:I love the DS, but the lack of support on THAT as well is retarded. Why bother.
Depending on the sensitivity and resolution of this device, it may be adaptable to an arm rest where you only have to move your wrist for full range of motion.+JuggerNaut+ wrote:right, but even moving ONE arm about is still more than moving a mouse with your wrist in PC FPS games. not sure about you, but mine barely moves, if at all.
sure, but I don't really see why this would be a problem.

I think it looks fucking great and I can't wait to get my hands on that thing.
Nintendo does it again! (Innovate within a stale industry that is)
Aggggh imagine a Star Wars dueling game with this thing.
I don't agree. The fact that technology was used before (in a different fashion) doesn't mean it's just a gimmick. I bet you never used your gyromouse in a 3D game.Dek wrote:whatever dick, we'll see... it's a gimmick.. not a very good one at that, anyone thats used a gyro mouse in a presentation or anything else will tell you that..Mr.Magnetichead wrote:Maybe you're just a pathetic joke of a man.
