From DAMNLAG.com's Combo Breaker:
"A lot of time and money is being dumped into motion controls these days by the big three console companies. I wouldn’t call waggle the death to the joystick and gamepad like some of my industry compadres, and I think certain aspects of motion controls have merit. It’s just a wee bit disappointing when you think of all the things game companies could be putting their research and development into. In the massive push to change the modern controller there’s so many things they could be fixing that actually, you know, need fixing."

Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
They really need to fix the lag.
the running thing is weird when you're in a town and everyone's walking slow
A.I. is still not smart yet I can waggle to make Mario spin.
How the industry as evolved...
I am not into the motion controller gaming, yet. Not sure if I ever will be either. I prefer to play using a controller, it's just the type of gaming I grew up playing my whole life and something I like.
It just seems silly and awkward to stand in one area and do the things required for the game while using your body as the controller.
I agree with one thing though, it's awesome that we now have technology like this and there are people who like these things. Just not for me.
Artificial intelligence is anything but, but the author does have a point that it could be a good deal better than what we're seeing in a lot of games. Especially in RPGs where the AI doesn't understand the game mechanics and become liabilities.
