Eventually I'll own all 3 but my order of priority goes Xbox 360 (sometime before SvR 2008 releases), Wii (best system in my opinion, just a lower priority since my focus is SvR for now), and then PS3, after they've had plenty of time to drop the price to something reasonable, fix all the hardware problems, bundle decent controllers with the system, and release some games. :)
I'll be getting all three but I'll definitely be getting a PS3 first no matter what. Then 360 second. Then finally Wii. And that's simply based on the order of games that interest me the most. There are few 360 exclusives that are making me go damn it, go get it now, and I've always preferred the Dual Shock design to the 360 pad. Even though I play all my PC games and emulators with a 360 pad. One less 360 pad I have to buy then I guess. The Wii I'll be getting specifically for Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy. And hopefully by the time I do get one, they'll have mastered 1:1 controls.
I only own a Nintendo Wii right now. It's awesome. There are some very good games on it, and some awesome games coming soon. You guys should really give it a chance. It isn't really all about family party games like Nintendo is trying to promote. There are some great games for "hardcore" gamers as well. I just wish that more developers would put more effort into it. Right now just a few companies are really trying to make quality games.
Also, I was thinking that you guys should see if you could release Pro Wrestling X on the Wiiware section of the Shop Channel. It is being used for up and coming developers, as well as well know developers. It wouldn't need to use motion sensing or anything, instead it could just use the classic controller. Just a thought for later in the future.
I don't feel like,for instance in a wrestling game to grab my opponent and bodyslam him to have to raise the control and slam it.I like mashing buttons...
I think the Wii Remote is great. There are some games where it hasn't been used well, but many have done great. Metroid Prime 3, for example, is amazing. The fps controls for have been almost perfected. It is so easy and comfortable to walk around, look in different directions, strafe, and attack. Retro Studios had made the controls better than any console game using analog controllers, from the games I have played at least.
Also, another game where the motion sensing is awesome is Trauma Center: Second Opinion. You literally have to use the Wii Remote in order to operate on a patient. It's great.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is amazing. 4 is also an awesome game, but with the new Wii controls have made it a whole new experience.
Spudz- Yeah, I agree with wrestling games using motion sensing. I was pretty upset to hear that THQ was making the new Smackdown on the Wii where it only uses the Wii Remote with motion gestures instead of allowing the option to use the classic controller for traditional controls.
Though, I do think it would be cool to use the Wii Remote for small things, such as applying pressure during a submission hold.
How can you even imagine pressuring a hold with a remote control?What will you do?Just wobbling around with the remote control.If a parent saw her child doing this,she will think it's crazy or something. BTW - I do think that the remote is great.It's just perfect for games with swords and other melee weapons - and even for Tennis games.But it just won't work with you know - a remote.There are some things like BUTTONS you just can't leave out... Thank God Nintendo made an old school joypad and at least sell it as an accessory.That was tres kewl...If I ever buy a Wii,I'd definetely buy a joypad...
Well, if you combine the Wii Remote with the Nunchuk attachment there is actually plenty of buttons. The Wii Remote itself has five buttons, plus four directional buttons. Then, the Nunchuck has two buttons plus an analog stick.
I don't really know how you could apply pressure exactly. One thing that might work is to slowly twist the Wii Remote. Imagine having someone in an ankle lock. You could twist the Remote to simulate twisting the ankle. Something like that. I'm not sure exactly how else to do it. Waggling the Remote is never a good thing, however, so that is for sure out of the question.
The 360 has the most games I want, so I'm looking into one of those. I wasn't really in any rush to get one until Skate came out...now I'm fighting back the urge to drop cash on an Elite every time I go into a store that sells electronics!
Twisting the remote control for the ankle lock is suuuch a nasty idea - what if we turn the remote at 360 degrees :D Will we cut the foot from the leg :D Maybe this will answer our questions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzlhrJlsiSI
I think using the Nunchuck for moves is great especially for Cena and Batista fans (I'm not one of them) cuz they can really do cena's taunt by waving the remote also the batista bomb thing raising your hands up and droping the guy sounds great(unless you have fragile stuff arround) all in all I think the Wiimote is a great Idea if used proparly.
OMFG - can you imagine doing high-flying moves with the remote control?OMFG you have to clear the room,jump out of the couch,drop on pillows and all that - now that's "It's in the game"... Injuries too... Now I want a Wii....but my mother will probably kill me after the purchase...
I love the wii but it's easy to trick the controller, like in wii sports baseball, it doesn't really care about orientation or anything, it just cares about the timing of your wrist flick.
Still cool as heck, don't get me wrong ;) I just force myself not to cheat it ;)
So...as long as the remote MOVES,it does something?! That reminds me of the little watch my boyfriend's sister gave us.It made a noise whenever you simply moved it or tapped it.It was really funny to pretend to hit somebody with it - it made a little sound.I think it was Power Rangers-oriented...
It depends on the game, but the remote detects specific types of motion. It can detect rotation on several axis (which is how the Wii Sports Baseball bat works, so you can flick your wrist and it's the same thing as swinging it), and it can detect it's position in two dimensional space with some accuracy (in other words, it can see if it's raised up or lowered down, moved left or right, but it doesn't know if you're closer or farther from the screen. It's calibrated to a specific distance for each player). Some games may be more complicated in what they detect, but anything that operates by using rotational controls can be controlled with very small and subtle movements if you wanted to.
