Miyamoto:
"Not worried at all. The fact that both of those companies are looking at finding ways to get the gamer off the couch, taking advantage of MC, and really getting the gamer to control the game by moving their body, shows that No. 1 they've looked at what we've done with Wii, and seen the value in that. And now they're moving in the same direction that we have already established. ... We've been experimenting with motion control for over five years now. Based on the announcements we've seen here at E3, it seems these other two companies have really only been experimenting with this only very recently. ... It looks like they're still in their initial stages and are trying to create experiences that at this point don't have the type of depth that we're able to provide with Wii Motion Plus."
In science fiction movies, one of the main pieces of futuristic technology is almost always motion controlled computer screens. The lead scientist often will rotate, enlarge, crop, or dramatically swipe away different data floating in the air in front of him. Thanks to video games, that fantasy is quickly becoming a reality. Here's a rundown of the gaming innovations in motion control by the big three.
I wonder if this person is aware of previous motion control technology like the Playstation 2 Eye Toy or Sega Activator.
GenGAME writes: "Given the amount of support Wii MotionPlus is getting just at the Wii U launch – so far, more games than the peripheral had at its own summer 2009 launch – it seems to me that Nintendo’s trying to push MotionPlus as soon as possible to put the enhanced controller in the hands of as many people as possible early on in the Wii U life cycle."
Its still the same controller that got little support.. Only difference is the box & the sync button..
Good read, I agree that the motion+ controllers still have a lot of potential left especially with the upgraded hardware. I would love to see games like Skyrim with solid motion control as an option. That would be much better than yelling at your Kinect if it was well implemented.
Being able to use Wii accessories and software on the Wii U, is a good move by Nintendo.
HDTV, Motion Plus, Smartglass - all are increasingly 'as standard', but why? Aren't these "innovations" just making console gaming the preserve of the few?
i'm getting tired of these types of articles.
a console is 100% enough, a peripheral is just an extra gimmick nobody's forced to buy.
Are we done now ?
People won't be satisfied until you can plug your mind into a machine ala The Matrix and "play" in a virtual reality.
It IS ENOUGH.
LISTEN: The only people trying to convince you/us that it's not enough, are the people trying to make money on OTHER things they want to sell us.
They are trying to " Gimmick " us away from the things they love.
They tell us A isn't enough and we need B. Then 4 years later they tell us B wasn't good enough we need C now.
They Use and dispose of great ideas all in the name of profit.
They need people to plant the seed/ Ideas in the people's minds though.
The gullible will believe anything.
Stay Smart.
He's making so much money out of this, while other companies are trying to take a piece of that casual market. Lets be real here, this motion sensing thing called Natal is overhyped, simply because it hasn't proven itself yet, when I see it implemented correctly then I'll take that back, but if I see Natal with more casual trash, then I'll keep laughing at how overrated this tech is.
(((the fanboys and the media are acting like MS has revolutionized gaming, but we are quick to forget who took a step in the right direction even though they tripped along the way.)))
He is also complimenting them in a sense though, he did say they are moving forward, in his own way that is....lol.
ps3s motion control is the best because its actually very precise and it reads z axis also so it is better than the wii remote . natal isnt something that can be used in video games for precision gaming at all and if there isnt precision then games can become really frustrating . after seeing the E3 unveiling i realise that natal seems really gimmicky with all the lag in the riccochet ball game, milo, the water incident and the BAM incident .
a lot of people might say im a fanboy for sony but i have a wii and i hate the fact that the wii controller has a cord and that 1:1 precision controls were being advertised since day one but the wii mote isnt capable of 1:1 precision gaming without wii motion plus. the ps3s motion control is true 1:1 precision controller and if you saw the E3 unveiling then you would know what i mean. i would use the option of playing resistance 3 with ps3s motion control , would a lot of people use natal to play halo reach,?lol.
ps. the talon stands for talented
Just like how Tony Hawk, EA, the other developers, Invisible walls are not too impressed with Natal and Milo either.
Miyamoto hasnt seen Sony's motion project however. Because if he had, he would be genuinely concerned...
Ofcourse he laughs. Only the Wii can print.......MONEYZZZZZZ!!!!
