Email: Analysis of Motion Controls + HD = Nightmare

Hello.

I made another entry in my blog analyzing the motion controls If I was a game developer and I would like to share with you

This is a good analysis and highlights something everyone is glossing over: that the games will get the controls right immediately. We know they won’t. Not even Nintendo gets the controls right for their games, let alone third parties. As difficult writing software for motion controls is, writing software, of any detail, for cameras will be much harder especially in the ‘game sense’ as we are familiar with.

Let us not forget that the PlayStation 3 already has motion controllers. I can’t think of any game where they have been used effectively. While the wand and the standard PS3 controller are very different, one can’t deny they are both motion controls.

Anyone who thinks butter smooth controls are going to first come out for these new controllers might as well believe the controllers are bundled with a unicorn. In the case of Natal, the unicorn has a more believable probability of being released.
