Justin Dailey said:I don't think that's fair. True for some but I think there definitely are four groups here:
1. Stupid fanboys who only like it now because they now have it too.
2. People who suddenly like motion controls because they've come to their console of choice (i.e. they get motion controls with their favorite franchises, with high def games ,and from a console devoted to making a lot of hardcore games)
3 People who like it because they think the technology looks much better than Wii's
4 People who always have and continue to think motion controls are stupid
I won't say which group I'm in but there is definitely more to it than people simply "finally seeing the light."
I own a Wii/PS3 (use to own a 360 as well) and I can say that while I have enjoyed a few Wii games that use waggle, it was always a trade off between having a mildly interesting use of waggle and severely outdated tech along with there just not being that many games that actually use the Wiimote well and the nagging 'this doesn't feel as accurate as it should' (not that Wiimotion+ probably doesn't fix that).
With Waggle coming to PS3, but what looks like better accuracy than the Wiimote, I feel like we'll see a game or two that really really uses the functionality while also being a balls out hard/core game, probably from Sonys first party whom I really dig. Also we might see third parties taking waggle in general more seriously in the future. So I'm more excited about Sony's waggle than I have been about just the Wii waggle.
