Ryan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Surely you could also use the SIXAXIS for steering? Not really ideal being a racing sim, but it's their game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if that were an option. Racing with motion controls is abysmal though. Whenever you drive in real life you need to feel connected to the car and the road. Like I said, using it to shift gears would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATtheHAT Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Head Tracking, thats all I want from Move in my GT5. When I turn my head to look into a corner, I want the camera to move with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I don't understand the point of head tracking. When you turn you're head you'll be moving your eyes away from the screen, so you'll only be imitating the action. If it isn't natural, whats the point?

MATtheHAT Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Good point. I guess I am just used to my 50" plama, where I do have to actually move my head to see the whole screen. Yeah it probably would be a little pointless with smaller TVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I was going to make that point Giz but if it's minimal it could work, like looking slightly off centre to see what' going on to the sides of your windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Its more about moving your head from side to side then turning it. The Whole idea with it isn't to move the camera though, its to create a 3D effect by moving the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Head Tracking, thats all I want from Move in my GT5. When I turn my head to look into a corner, I want the camera to move with me. That is pretty much it for GT. The rest is already more than well handled by wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just a thought I wanted to share: Do you think FPS games will continue to become much more RPG-like? We've seen classes, perks, changeable guns, gun attachments and secondary guns, but is it going to go further? I'm talking something like a stat system where you have a 100 point scale (thinking about it, this is sounding like Fallout 3) for a broad range of skills, and each time you rank up you can add a couple of points to your stats to make a unique character but no so much where you are maxed out. You'd be able to change your appearance massively, the settings of your weapons (like exchanging recoil for less damage etc) and have special team/squad moves. Pretty much everything your character can do can be adjusted, like jump height and minimal things like resistance to fall damage so that similarity doesn't exist.

The popularity of the FPS genre and the success of games such as Fallout 3 and Borderlands coupled with relative stagnation of the traditional RPG genre means we are seeing this convergence happen more and more.

Emasher Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Fallout 3 is more an RPG with FPS elements, but I see your point. I can't see developers giving us options like jump height, as that could make map design a lot trickier, but I do see a greater emphasis on customization, and also support classes. We're seeing a lot more casual players playing FPS type games these days, and, well, a lot of them haven't quite mastered dual analog. DICE took a step in the right direction with putting so much emphasis on the support classes. That's really a much better way of making games more accessible, than limiting the combat, or making it more arcady, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yeah I was thinking jump height would make it difficult to design, but if there's a maximum they can design to then it shouldn't be a problem, whilst not disadvantaging too many people by giving them... Why am I talking about jump height?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You're an English graduate? Damn, the internet really does not like grammar. Exactly...I've noticed in the 3 years since I graduated my grammar has deteriorated. Namely because I am not used to writing in a coherent way that requires it.

Dante Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Announced For PSP Monster Hunter Freedom 3. This new game introduces new regions, monsters, and a revised Felyne combat system. Look for Monster Hunter Freedom 3 in the West in late 2010.

Choze Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Got God Of War 3 and wow its brilliant. Hooked. I agree with the RPG/FPS stuff. Its to keep people playing. But i am kind of tired of online fps right now as i have played COD, KZ2 and Battlefield constantly. I like BFBC2 alot though. Still digging into FFXIII but right now I prefer World of Warcraft much much more. Mainly because WOW doesnt feel like a dungeon crawler and has alot more than FFXIII. FFXIII just seems lazy but let me play more. Edited March 20, 2010 by Choze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit-Jr Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 i havent opened GOWIII yet , i want to save it til i finish 'watching' FFXIII. I just preordered Red Dead Redemption like 4 minutes ago too. I really need some more free time to play all these lovely games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Panda Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 As new PS3 owner Im looking for a few good games with solid online component with good community support. It can be old games or PSN downloads, I dont mind that. I know there is a big audience for online FPS shooters (MW, Killzone2, R2) but I want to see some alternative to that and what you guys playing. Now Im thinking to get Dirt 2 or Motorstorm 2 for online play. I have preordered LBP "game of the year edition" for co-op play. Also Im waiting for MGS4 to arrive, and as far I understand there is solid multiplayer there (and if people still playing it, then its all good). For the future I was thinking of getting Lost Planet 2 for internet co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I didn't think the Dirt 2 multiplayer was that good, Motorstorm: PR's was much better, although it's a pretty solid and competitive game. MGS Online is pretty crap, there's usually lag and tons of annoying players. The load times are also a joke and the whole interface as well as the controls are fiddly as hell. LBP is good for playing with friends online, and I guess Lost Planet's co-op is nice as well if that's your thing. For shooters, I'd say KZ2 and BC2 are the best this gen, alongside Halo 3, though obviously you can't get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
