I agree on motion controls. IR pointing and 1:1 motion are truly amazing if you actually give them a real chance with an open mind.

 

[Oppo]

I nominate Achievements / Trophies.

Also controller rumble.

I thought both were pretty dumb when I first encountered them.

Talkies.

That was a natural and logical progression for film.

Only a feature if you considering wasting a third of my plasma screen with black bars a plus.

I think he's referring to its use in movie theatres. Cinemascope and formats like that. The idea of a wider theatre screen was a gimmick at first to draw audiences in and then it just stuck around.

The motion controls for the Move in KZ3 were far and away a) the best way to play the game and b) the perfect implementation of pointy motion controls in an FPS I've played.

Actually, the tilt-to-aim in Killzone:Mercs for the Vita was really great too, I don't understand why they don't do that with the DS3/4 more often since they also have the Gyro.

Technically basically every Treyarch CoD Wii game has better implementation, short of when they forgot to add Cursor Sensitivity to BO2 for a while.

What do you mean by "technically"?

 

[block tower]

do they still make this?

no. its been discontinued since 2007/early 2008. idk if you can find any cans online, or if itd even be good to drink. like i said, an old neighbor from high school still had a few cases left up until 2011. but thats the last time i ever drank any (it was heavenly), so i doubt even he has any left lol. it was better than baja blast if that means anything lol.

Boyhood's 12 year filming ended up working really well.

 

[Servbot24]

The DS having two screens, I remember people asking me "why would you want to play two games at once?"

This was the first thing I thought of.

For me, it would be snapping windows in Windows 7/8 (Aero snap). Where you drag a window to the left/right side of the screen and it will automatically resize it to take up half the space.

This feature drives me insane. I need to find the option to turn it off.

Motion Controls

>.>

I NEVER got the complaints with this.

Skyward Sword, Punchout, SSX Blur, No More Heroes, etc. were MUCH better due to motion controls. It would amazing if Nintendo did a Oculus Rift + Super Wii Remote Plus console

Push button start on cars.

You never have to take your keys out. Walk up to the car grab the handle and it unlocks. Push button to start. Lock it by pressing the button on the handle.

I always thought this would be a gimmick but it's so convenient.

Remote start as well. I totally thought this was a pretty much useless feature - my wife would say it would be good for starting the car on cold mornings, but if you do that then you have to go open the garage door anyway so it only saves you five steps. But then one 90+ summer day at the park with the kids, 5 minutes before it was time to leave I realized I could just remote start the car and have it nice and cool by the time we got in.

Also I was playing wii sports resort with my 3 year old the other day for the first time in years and was kind of amazed how impressive the motion controls are.

Click the Start button to open the Start menu.
Type mouse in the Search Files And Programs box.
Select Change How Your Mouse Works from the list of items that are found.
Select the checkbox for the option Prevent Windows From Being Automatically Arranged When Moved To The Edge Of The Screen.

Wrong. It was brought back in 2011/2012 for MW3/Halo 4. And this year I think they are just selling it with no additional promotion. I see it and buy a pack whenever I go to Meijer or Walmart.
Use this to find some near you.

OP said great features, not annoying bullshit features.

Motion controls were great for videogames, but became even better for phones and tablets.

The car. It was originally thought to be a novelty for the rich.
