Sixaxis: 6 years later... your verdict

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Flower was fun but sixaxis' younger, fitter, more purposeful brother in the Vita is gladly welcomed.
This game had everything.
- flying
- skydiving
- laser aiming
- dancing
- monkey ball
- weapons
etc.
All very well implemented and lots of fun. It was shocking to see the sequels had nothing.
Actually forgot about it in Ratchet. Yeah, another good one. None as good as Folklore though

The motion controls in Katamari Forever were responsible for me breaking my first DS3 (and really hurting my hand) so that's where I stand.

SixAxiS gives palindromes a bad name. Racecar and poop in particular.

It was nothing special. Move could be very good for Flower though...

Flower made it worth it. Other than that, was kinda useless.

I've only really used sixaxis in Flower and I was offended that you had to do giant, twisting movements rather than small, delicate movements. Perhaps a sensitivity slider would have allowed me to enjoy the game a bit more, but as it was I found the game anything but relaxing.
Other than that? Pretty useless.

Pretty much. The most recent thing I used it for was Flower... and that game was from over 3 years ago.

This, I enjoyed flower, but do not see any other implementation that I can even remember trying besides that.
Haha, never actually realised it was a palindrome

I have many PS3 controllers and some were a lot worse than others at sixaxis. I also noticed my dualshocks not working as well as the sixaxis at it. With flower I found myself switching controllers out until I could find one that wasn't glitchy. Seems like poor quality control.
Also on the topic of sixaxis if you want to give yourself brain damage play LocoRoco Cocoreccho. Like it's literally a health hazard with all the shaking of the controller it wants you to do.

Hated the shitty light default controller it resulted in.
Loved it in Flower, didn't care about it in anything else.

Flower.
Other than that it could have just not existed.

Is this the same thing they're using on Vita? Because that motion control garbage made it so I couldn't play uncharted: Golden Abyss while laying on my side. And there was no option to turn it off completely so I could play it like a normal uncharted game. Then I discovered that you could use the touch screen to climb, so it was less of a nuisance, but really? Who thought it was a good idea to make it so if you leaned the system, you would change your angle for climbing?
R&C: Tools of Destruction, R&C: A Crack in Time, and inFamous are the only games I have that use it off the top of my head. It was used minimally, usually to steer an attack or character a short segment. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2 had it as well I guess, but just to pop Sackboy's head around.
Final verdict: Meh. Just glad it wasn't shoved down my throat as much as the Wii-mote was.

Though it lacked rumble, I really enjoyed sixaxis and playing with it in wipeout was challenging but rewarding.

It has been a while since I played Infamous...How was it used there? I don't remember it at all.

Damn...that would have been awesome lol but other than Folklore/Flower I haven't enjoyed it or even bothered using it.

Only played 3 games in which it had a memorable impact. It worked well in Flower, it was slightly annoying in Journey, and it was ridiculously pointless and gimmicky in Uncharted: DF
One of Cole's later moves, Lightning Storm. Lightning drops from the sky and you use the Sixaxis to steer it around.
SIXAXIS was responsible for essentially killing a AAA developer. so yes its complete shit.
I like Folklore, but this. Sixaxis wasn't worth it.
I think its use for racing games was underrated....i mean, it was pretty accurate. Also someone youtube made a hardware mod for it to placed in a plastic steering wheel, to be used for F1CE.....like how the Wii controller is used sometimes.
my friend's sun, who was four at the time...was able to play Motorstorm because of it...his hands were too small for the controller and trying to understand the buttons....but with the Sixaxis, he was able to play just fine.

I found it cool in lot's of games, mostly games wich made use of it to make the feedback to make the gameplay feel more immersive.
In Ratchet & Clank, where you were guiding tornado, were pretty sweet, it felt like you worked against the elements of nature, dragging the wind in place.
It were cool to be able to stear that, and Ratchet and camera at once..
Guiding arrows over long distances in Heavenly Sword were also fun, especially fun to watch a friend fall out of the couch when trying to do last minute adjustments to hit the groin of a dude, and failing miserably.
Didn't like guiding cannon-balls, or other objects as much as the arrows.
I also liked the minor sniper-adjustments in Killzone, not so much as extra assistance, but it felt more realistic that you had to keep the gun (or in this case controller) absolutely still when aiming..
And shaking the controller to ward off attack-dogs wich had downed you, or shaking to roll to get the fire from flamethrowers in first Resistance, were also pretty cool, I think that might be the best use overall.
The most stupid thing , where shaking the controller as a madman to eat 100 Pizza-slices in a JRPG, granted it were funny and hard to do while laughing..
The boob-jiggling thing in MGS4-videos were also epic.

I absolutely loved the long range Sixaxis arrow guiding levels in Heavenly Sword. It just felt awesome to plunk arrows into people.
Folklores implementation was great as well since it added to the game. Doing the different kind of pulls was really cool, much better than any kind of button combination thing or button tapping you'd have done on a conventional controller.

The only thing it does in Journey is control the camera. I hated it. Try playing the game while laying down. I ended up just riding the right stick the entire game.

Wait, what purpose did the sixaxis have in MGS4? Other than using it on Rosemary...
