Motion gaming.

Hey guys, I couldn't find a topic for this so I just made one.

I was wondering what everyone's opinion of motion gaming is. 

I personally hate it.  It's annoying having to wave my arms around like a moron in order to play a game.  I mean the only games I play on the Wii are the ones where you can use a gamecube controller. (Smash brothers, Mario cart)

When I play games I want to relax, not exercise.  (I already go to the gym everyday, *I'm trying to get in shape for ski-season*)  So when I come home the last thing I want is to have to move around like an asshole in order to play a dam game.

I personally own an xbox 360 and I think the kinect is one of the worst things ever. 

Now looking towards the future, I hope game developers don't think motion gaming is "the next big thing."  I mean Playstation released the eye toy years ago and it kind of flopped...

In short, I hate motion gaming and feel that it will do the same thing that 3d is doing to the movie industry.  Movies in 3d are more about the 3d and less about plot, setting, characters, etc...

I feel that game developers will focus to much on the motion part and forget the game entirely.

Tickles:
Yeah, but motion gaming also has a bit of skill to it. The kinect takes it a step further to where you need you body to be precise, which is a good thing for me, since I do long-board, and I need to position myself in a certain way.

Jerry:
And some people do need exercise. It's not for people like you who go to the gym frequently, it's for those who can't. :P

Well, anyway, it does add a new level of difficulty and is sort of a step forward to you being in full control of a character. I've always wanted to be a game where you do have full control on a character, like in this SpyKids3 movie XD

RadioactiveLemon:
To be honest, I hate the wii motion controller because you have to flail your arms around like an assylum prisoner, AND you have to constantly refill your batteries. However, I think the motion control on tablet devices is much better, as well as more realistic. Meh

Arctus:
As long as game devs don't go too overboard with the motion, so like yousaid you end up waving your arms likean idiot, then i think motion gaming is a great idea, it gives you a little more of a feeling that you are controlling he game. Well that is my opinion of course.
