Having played the Wii, I think the new type of gaming that comes from the remote is pure genius. Being able to controlthe movements of a character, car, and a mercury blob. ETC. ETC. It's the next generation of gaming. Interactive game play. Everyone wanted this sort of hands on experience, even when pong, the first video game came out. What did shock me a bit is that it wasn't the two main gaming companies that came up with this motion censoring idea, it was Nintendo.

However...

Sony did come up with their own version of the Wii remote for the PS3. The 6-axis is located on the controller, like the Wii remote. It controls actions within the game, like the Wii remote. So everything is good right...

Wrong!

The 6-Axis is over sensitive, which ruins the whole experience. Of course it is perfect for some games, like on Call of Duty. There is a little bit of controller shaking in close combat, which is fine. But overall it is a letdown. You would think one of the best gaming companies in the world would be able to produce a decent interactive controller.

I think the 6-Axis is just an emergency version of the Wii remote. I do think with a little more time and effort, the 6-Axis could easily beat out the Wii remote. But, until then, the Wii remote is superior.

Nice to hear your opinion, might be better to discuss one or the other in seclusion as otherwise, going by forum behaviour this could get heated, nasty then locked. I would love to hear more about the six axis and its uses in game.

For the record, I haven't held either controller.

But I will say over-sensitivity is something developers are going to have to work out themselves. However, it is definately a good thing that it has such high sensitivity- that is far better than the hardware itself not being sensitive enough, which no amount of programming can fix.

Yes, yes very interesting. Now go back to SW where this belongs. These kind of topics are fanboy magnets, so off you go.

Good, point. Can a moderator or someone move this to System Wars?

Asking this saved you from a moderation, but the moving tool isn't working right now for some reason, so just re-create this in SW. You'll get no moderation penalty.
