OMG I'm Definitely Getting Zombi U (WiiMote Support CONFIRMED)

Fact is that no games are good with motion controls.

I can listen and respect opinions but seeing someone claiming 'facts' is bothersome.

people actually LIKE the wiimote/nunchuck?campzor

Yes. It's a vast improvment over dual analog,

One of the game's gimmicks is realism. The second screen is meant to take your focus off the action while doing specific tasks, but you still have the option to look at the main screen to check if the surroundings are safe. It creates tension in a survival horror setting. That's one thing I guess.

thetravman

Again, why the need for the second screen? Why not just have your inventory/whatever pop up on the TV over tha action? Just hold Z to bring up your inventory and release to put it down. You could use the pointer instead of your finger then. AND it would allow you to use the wiimote, so there would be vastly better aiming plus motion+ bat controls and the like.

I doubt that will present the same level of realism and tension when your view is right beside your inventory. You can easily see movement as opposed of focusing on a seperate screen/view. I forgot to mention also that managing these tasks also forces your hand off the buttons, putting you in an off-guard position. With the pointer controls you mentioned, you're basically always in position and all you have to do is release a button. This gamepad method really sounds like an inconvenience in a typical game but I feel it works in a game like this where there is an extreme emphasis on survival.

I would imagine your inventpry/whatever would cover the whole tv.

Two words, aiming accuracy.

Also the Wii U pad has motion controls.Kaze_no_Mirai

[QUOTE="Kaze_no_Mirai"]Also the Wii U pad has motion controls.soundcellx

Your setup must have had some major calibration issues. RE4 works perfectly with the Wiimote for example and I can't understand why the PS3 version didn't support move.

The PS3 dualshock controller has sixaxis, but do people call it a motion controller? NO. Is the Wii pad's primary function to flail it around like a moron? NO. soundcellx

Also it's funny how much of the time the cursor with the Wiimote so easily goes off the screen and you're like, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, CURSOR, DAMN THESE INFERIOR INACCURATE MOTION CONTROLS!".soundcellx

Yeah, as a matter of fact, motion controls are vastly inferior. soundcellx

I mean, why the hell can't I play one of my favorite video game series of all time, Zelda, WITH NORMAL CONTROLS (Skyward Sword). (Although that would not fix the game's casual-ness or linearity). I mean, I have been playing video games all my life, and normal controllers work perfectly, and motion controls just don't work and they are garbage. soundcellx

Again. An opinion. I believe, along with many others that Skyward Sword had fantastic controls. Many disagree, that's why they are opinions. The mechanics certainly were not broken though.

Anyhow, I can't flippin' wait to be able to play video games NORMALLY with the dual stick of the Wii U pad.soundcellx

Now you have no chance of seeing any incoming danger unless it pauses the gameplay. In that case, the immersion is gone.

How is that any different than looking down? Your eyes are off the TV. Besides, if the inventory is based off holding a button down, as soon as you need to get back to the action you just release. Super fast.

i also agree wiimote is better than dual analog for any game that requires aiming.

as for motion controls in regular games.... sometimes it enhances your experience and makes you feel more like your part of the game..... other times it feels a bit unnecessary...depends on the game.

oh no game pad for me or pro contro thats the way to play this game

Looks like new trailer for multiplayer has the guy using the Pro Controller, Since WiiMote is listed on the box it's still possible they could be used for SP.

You're thinking of terms of convenience. This game's gimmick is immersion. Sorting through equipment while in a tense situation should not be as easy as letting a button go.

I was hoping to never, of course by never I mean never ever, have to use the Numchuck / Wiimote again.

I haven't seen everything their doing with the gamepad, so I'm sure they will surprise us with some really inventive uses, but it just seems like I'd rather play with the wiimote. It's just like pikmin3. It uses the gamepad, but it seems to run a lot better with the wiimote.

Oh, motion controls suck. One of the very worst things to happen to gaming. Good thing the Wii U is going back to semi-normal controls with dual sticks! So there.

yea have fun playing nintendo land with your 3 extra 50$ wiiU pro controllers!...lol...

you can use it for super mario U also...oh wait...no you can't!

wiimote is alive and well...in call of duty too because wiimote motion control is superior to dual analog for aiming.. you can at least admit that right?

Wiimote is great for FPS games, well when it is done right it is :P. There are some that it feels pretty off in, but then there are ones like Medal of Honor, that I actually had a blast playing online with my buddy. That was a pretty fun game :).

why are people still replying to him? :?jeffster85

because i'm cool and people like me.
