So is that a plastic ring you stick your remote on?Rod_S wrote:Some footage of the wheel peripheral in action:

Oh it looks like it works so well, just like driving!
Guess the controller isn't ideal for everything. The guy looks bloody stupid in Monster 4x4...

I'm still optimistic that the wii-mote could revolutionise both FPS's and driving games. It's just a massive pity that all the FPS's and driving games that have been announced so far look like generic, soulless toss.Rod_S wrote:Some footage of the wheel peripheral in action:

On the evidence of those two clips, some video game designers need to be taken out the back and shot.
Tang Sou!
It'd probably be much more effective for a futuristic racer than the 4x4 game, but I can't really see the advantage of using the Wii remote instead of a regular wheel for traditional driving games. How do you think it could revolutionise the genre?Gorecki wrote: I'm still optimistic that the wii-mote could revolutionise both FPS's and driving games.
This is the big question for the Wii. What's the ratio going to be of games that make full innovative use of the remote, games that simply ignore it, and games that soil themselves by implementing it in an unnecessary way? If you take the DS, and I've got loads of DS games now, the number of innovative stylus-based stuff isn't that big. There are a few notable titles that use it as a controller but it kinda ruins the game, but the majority either use the d-pad or use the stylus in a non-stressful manner.Rod_S wrote:It'd probably be much more effective for a futuristic racer than the 4x4 game, but I can't really see the advantage of using the Wii remote instead of a regular wheel for traditional driving games.

From the launch line-up, one could argue that *only* Trauma Center and the Wii Sports/Play stuff and Elebits actually kinda need the controller. And yet I can definitely see the remote adding a new dimension to first person games (especially with the mic). The motion nature of it would be great for throwing stuff (and picking stuff up), pulling back a bow, shining a torch, casting a grappling hook, gesture stuff, punching, slicing and stabbing. Oblivion-esque combat I suppose - slashing swords, blocking shields, longbows, wands, staffs etc. etc.. Add in how the use of the trigger and motion could effect character movement and I think there's all kinds of stuff that could bring something new and good to the table especially when combined with gameworld physics like balance and weight. None of this should really be any more fatiguing than using a mouse (hopefully).
I guess because it's going to be more 'mouse-like' then maybe icon-based games and strategy stuff would also benefit. If you have to do a draw motion to mass select units or other items then that's always been the sort of thing that's fiddly with an analogue stick. Add in the inevitable quirky stuff from Japan and I think there's good potential for Wii games to be cool. Racing-wise it's kinda hard to think, the only thing I can think of is a sorta Star Wars arcade like control where you steer but also roll forwards and backwards to dive and soar. Certainly the design and thinking has to come from the development studios, they're the ones how have to come up with the ideas. I dunno, maybe that's all bullshit.

Nothing is worth the effort you put into it.
