Sixaxis is one of the worst ideas to put on a controller.

About the time that they shoehorned the tech into the ps3 controller cause they were intimdated by the Wii...is when it fell apart...there hasn't been a worthwhile or good use of the sixaxis ever even on games thatwere literally made for it...

Well, I'll give you the eye toy, but I must say that's last gen. As for Home, well, that's far from a gimmick tbh.

Surely racing games have made good use of the six axis? That's where I thought most of the six axis usage would be anyway.

It could be pretty cool if used well in LBP 2's user-created levels, but I don't think anyone has made anything significant using it.

I don't think anyone actually liked it. Heavy Rain made okay use of it, but apart from that I'm glad devs stopped using it.

It's basically a social lounge on the PS3. You get your own avatar and can walk around and buy stuff. It's entertaining for about 5 minutes (if that), and then people tend to log off and never use it again

I believe it's usable in LBP2. Also, Sixaxis tech will be in the NGP.

Honestly the only thing I've used it for, and thought was really awesome, was Re-loading your weapon in GTA IV. That could have freed up another button so you could map something else to it, IDK what else you could have used the extra button, but I'm sure somebody could think of something :P

Oh and Heavy Rain used it well.

I'd bet the sixaxis' failure is a reason why Sony is not pushing Move as heavily as MS and Kinect. So you see, sixaxis was a good thing :P

Its what happens when a company panics. Sony knew it was a gimmick, but they could say they had motion gaming too.

Doing it doesn't mean its useful. Its just a marketing gimmick. I remembered using it in KZ2 and was wondering why they wasted their time implementing it. So a total of seven games (15 or so with PSN titles)have it..........whoa there. It was pretty useless in GOWIII too.

Ohh yeah Lair too. That game really took advantage of Six Axis.

Dual Shock 3 does have sixaxis, I have used it for Uncharted, Heavy Rain, MLB10 the Show. I like it, sure it isn't the bets tech, but it add and additional controlling scheme to the traditional controls. It is just one more controlling device. I liked its use in Uncharted, for balancing as your run across logs and narrow bridges. I loved its use in Heavy Rain. I don't think SixAxis is going anywhere since it has been implemented in the NGP. I love it.

Little Big Planet 2 uses it as well. It's not really needed tho, i think only Heavy Rain, Heavenly Sword and Flower used it in a way it improved the game, on all other games it wasn't that well implemented at all.

To the guy below: DS3 has sixaxis...

Flower? The six axis controls worked well and enhanced the experience then if it had just used the analog sticks to move around.

Actually Heavenly Sword used it effectively.
