Motion Controls Are The Least of Skyward Sword’s Problems

Don’t think, just shake your stick. Skyward Sword thinks you are a moron. Alright, I’ll say it: the-long awaited Nintendo Direct was disappointing.

Hmmmm I disagree. I liked most everything about Skyward Sword except for the motion controls... god fighting that purple dude was a nightmare for me using waggle controls

I like the motion controls. They work better than people think.

Neonridr1189d ago

agreed, being able to just enjoy the game using either analog swipes or simple button presses is so much easier than flailing my arm around trying to get the game to register properly.

Replacing full motion gesture controls with moving a thumbstick directionally for weapon swings may even be worse in practice.

I bought Skyward Sword after listening to the hype, and honestly was underwhelmed compared to prior Zelda games. Was a little suprised when they announced this re-release.

Neonridr1189d ago

I doubt it. Having to swing your entire arm in a general direction or just flicking an analog stick a certain way are not even close to the same thing.

Duke191189d ago

There is a reason most games havent done directional weapon swings with a thumbstick tho. Im not saying it wont work, but it just seems like it could be super clunky in practice as the right stick is usually dedicated to handling the camera

Neonridr1189d ago

@Duke19 - oh for sure, time will tell, but it sounds like it's an improvement.

OMNlPOTENT1189d ago

The game had some of the best dungeons in zelda history.

shammgod1189d ago

Looking forward to the rerelease

Shiken1189d ago

Not enough to keep it out of my top 5.

Excellent characters
Excellent lore
Excellent Dungeons

It is a very underappreciated game TBH.

Zeldafan641189d ago

You forgot excellent soundtrack

Shiken1189d ago

Omg yes, ballad of the goddess is my ring ton!

For the first time in a long time I have a hard time feeling excited for these events. Maybe it's because of all these massive lay offs and closures there hasn't exactly been good news since the start of the year.

Maybe come next week I'll get a little more excited but I dunno I just can't get too excited right now

thorstein19h ago

Maybe it will be an indie showcase.

Cancelling e3 and introducing some ridiculous events..
Times have changed.. to the worse

Lightning7712h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Back then it was very exciting, great looking trailers, on stage live gameplay where yes things can and have went wrong but that's how we knew it was a real games being played instead of curated footage extra doctored up that didn't even represent the actual game half the time. Games would release 6 months to a year max not 3 years later.

I miss past E3's even the goofiness like Giant enemy crab or Riiiidge Raceeer. Xbox and Kinect glitching Nintendo's craziness. Again it was real, these days there so protective, clean, doctored sets, where nothing can absolutely go wrong. Too strict and professional with heavy PR babble with buzzwords that mean nothing. Being professional is not bad but when it's fake and corporate heavy where you're made to buy into the words rather than the game, that's how you know it's not real.

Now SFG is just sizzle reeling all the games at once. Plus past SGF events haven't been that great either. Maybe that's not Geoffs fault but the pubs and devs are simply never ready to show anything and have to wait. This gen we've been waiting and waiting for these games.

Plus lay offs as I Mentioned. I dunno Geoff needs to do what made E3 great back then, get funding support and do live stage gameplay he has the support and so why not? Pubs and devs need to do their own thing at the event again. No more doctored bull crap with PR diarrhea trying to sell the game show us with a controller in your hand instead of making empty promises.

Rant over.

I will never forget the pre-e3 one year where Kojima was teasing MGS Rising.. and Peace Walker.

Such an incredible period where studios enjoyed what they were doing and teasing their work weeks before the event.

Nowadays is half baked games, cross gen titles, useless mid gen upgrades. There is no hype anymore.
Last great show I remember is the PS EXPERIENCE maybe 3 or 4 years ago in December

gleepot11h ago

Maybe it's because Keighley sucks and never puts on good showcases.

Lightning7710h ago

They aren't geoffs games he's not makin it. Though you're half right, he has the stage and events and controls the pace, how the games are shown and presented. If I was him I would have devs have real gameplay with a stage like how E3 used to be.

No more of this curated pre done footage that we've had in the past 4 years.

Actually before that they've been doing that format for awhile. Cyber Punk being the biggest culprit of that format because you can easily deceive and lie to ppl.

Yeah Geoff is half to blame

isarai15h ago

Is it just me or is there little to no buzz or marketing leading up to this compared to previous SGF?

monkey60211h ago

Because they've been consistently boring for the last couple of years. Hard to get worked up for it now

bRuud8313h ago

Where is Sony? Still no news about the next Playstation showcase.

VR213h ago

It'll be June sometimes no doubt, I'm guessing the Saturday 10th the day after Xbox showcase or maybe sometime the following week

Lightning7710h ago

Hopefully early next week at this point they are signed to SGF so they'll be there.

I also said in another post it's rumored to be a State Of Play now. The only AAA's I can see being announced now is Ghost 2 and Bends New game.

I can't see Santa Monica's New IP or ND New IP being announced. I can see GG being there announcing leggo Horizon, Zero Dawn remake or remaster, maybe the LS horizon game.

Skuletor10h ago

After the way they rudely hurried people off the stage at The Game Awards, I won't bother watching any of the streams for this. I'll just checkout out a few game trailers on Youtube after they're uploaded there.
