Joystiq Impressions: Multiplatform games on Sixaxis

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Need for Speed: Carbon, and Tony Hawk's Project 8 are being littered across every current console in addition to the next-gen systems. (Wii gets Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam instead of Project 8, however.) While you can now buy these games for the fad-lacking, buttons-and-thumbstick systems, the titles are being tuned for Wii and PS3 motion-sensitive controls. At the Sony Gamer's Day last month, we saw how the three games use the Sixaxis controller.

Like 8 years ago, rumble was a "gimmick." Eventually it became an industry standard (except on ps3 for the moment). If Nintendo and Sony pull off rumble, then it will become an industry standard. It's obviously best suited for games like Warhawk, or Lair, but Tony Hawk seems to be doing a good job integrating it, esecially for a launch title. Keep watching how it's used over the next year or so to get a better grip on whether motion sensing controllers will become a standard for all consoles next generation.

And why did you feel the need to make it a 360 vs. ps3 argument? It's about motion sensing in ps3 games, not about the 360 versions of the same game.

Not too impressed with the Wii in my hands on time with Wii Boxing. I've said it before, but on that game, I was wanting to just have a game pad that wasn't so finnicky. Couldn't get it to do anything. I think PS3 has the best situation as they have motion sensing, and they have regular controls. If one doesn't work out or if someone doesn't like the tilt features, they use the analog sticks. Nintendo doesn't have that option.

3 - I saw the gameplay video

of someone playing Project 8 with the Sixaxis, and it actually looked pretty intuitive and fun. Luckily not all of the sixaxis motion controls are forced onto us, but I'm glad that even multiplatform titles are experimenting with Sony's tech.
