Who cares about motion control for next gen??

Is anybody here facepalming when they hear people say sony and microsoft should have more motion control functionality in their next gen systems? I personally, think motion control doesnt really add much to the gaming experience. WHat do you guys think? SHould kinect and move be a bigger part of next gen or would you like to see them both die?

It all a fad,just as "lightguns" were.

As long as it turns a net profit I suppose we're stuck with it. I honestly have no idea what motion controlled games are available for my console - that's how interested I am in it.

Burn motion controls with fire.

Well there is a right and wrong way to use motion controls.

The Right way: The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword

The Wrong way: almost everything else

Now that I think of it the only time I think Motion Controls improved a game I played was Zelda

Why does everyone keep hating on motion control? There are a lot of good motion control games. Skyward Sword showedus the possibilities of what motion control can do. Keep in mind, this is the first gen with motion control. I actually am glad Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are trying to find ways to improve on motion control. Look back at the 5th gen with Nintendo 64, Playstation, and the Saturn. They were 3D consoles yet it seemed as if no one could do 3D right. It was a mess of polygons and it felt like a fad in a way. Now look at us, every game consists of polygons. Motion Control needs to grow or else we would keep wondering what could have been.

Good motion control games: Red Steel 2, Skyward Sword, Dance Central

Bad motion control games: Ninja Bread Man, Rise of Nightmares, Kinectimals

Get rid of them, companies need to stop forcing them into games that dont need them. Most of the games that use motion controls are nothing more than gimmicks that are quite boring after a half hour or so. Also when im gaming, i like to relax, not jumping around and swinging like an idiot.

They work for certain games better than they do for others.

I'd like to see them stick around and it seems like they are going to with the Wii U. I never liked Kinect because it has too much lag and isn't as accurate as a Wii Remote and MotionPlus.

I don't mind motion control, heck.. I still play Wii Sports to this day, it's still a fun game o_o

I really don't mind, I like what Nintendo is doing introducing a new controller but you will still be able to use Wiimote and Nunchuk on the Wii U implying there will be separate control methods. I also like using the pointer on the Wii for on-rails and games like RE4.

As long as motion controls don't take over the industry (which it won't, just saying) I'm fine with it. Touch screen and motion controls were introduced this gen and they are great, not over the top.

Nintendo seems to get it right with Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy (isn't over the top), but I haven't played any Move or Kinect games though so I don't know about that.

I couldn't care less about it, it's not something that ever has or ever will interest me. As long as it's not forced on all systems, I'm not too worried about it though.

Motion controls are fun if done right. Unfortunately 99% of games that utilize it do so poorly. Games like Skyward Sword and Red Steel 2 are a lot of fun and show what motion controls can do. With that said I still prefer a classic controller and I believe most games wouldn't be good with motion controls. In the end it should have its place in the gaming industry and I look forward to watching it evolve, but I just don't want it to take over the industry as a whole and become the standard (that would seriously cut into my laying around time :P).

I'm not a fan of motion controls. I just like a simple controller.

the move needs some work (wii ripoff much??) still it's something id call a "prototype" it will be better in the next 5 years

Screw motion controls. All they are is a 'fad', that every console thinks they need to have. This is exactly how i feel about the PS Vita. Why do we NEED motion controls at the front AND the back of the screen?! Just focus on making a truly excellent game without cheap motion sensing gimmicks, instead of an average game with lame motion controls!!!:evil:

Nothing more natural than a controller. Motion control is the work of satan.
