Posted June 9, 2011 Doesn't the thing have accelerometers and the such and is basically a WM+? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2011 ^ that's what I just said! :p I was saying my thoughts out loud. I can understand why we'd need the sensor bar, for tracking. So, it must have one on the back of the Upad, surely? For precision. I'm not sure if the gyroscopes would be precise enough for the tv to detect exactly where they are. I actually don't know now. Hmm. We need a tech-y guy in here.

Posted June 9, 2011 haha, yeah that's how it read... like 'wait a minute...' :p I added to my post I think the gyroscopes/accelerometers are probably enough, but yeah I don't know for sure myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2011 What is the difference exactly between an accelerometer and a gyroscope? I think a gyroscope is used for tilting and direction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2011 A Gyroscopes reads the direction, an Accelerometer the speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2011 As far as I know, accelerometers work in the 3 axis of direction. X, Y and Z. And gyroscopes measure tilts and twists. Or what Retro said. Mine is just a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 9, 2011 The Wiiremote only has accelerometers right? So did it only measure speed of movement? No wonder everything was just waggle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2011 You no like AvP2? That first level, where you go into the base and its empty. Shit me up so much. Also, when you have to go into the hive to rescue your friend, and then escape. I was running at full pace, turning around and trying to shoot those bastards. I was closing some of the doors on the outside, but the aliens were finding ways through. Its actually one of my favourite all-time levels in any game. Properly shook me up. This one time, I was close to the APC and then died maybe a few feet away. I let out a noooooooooooo. I could see my health was dropping but just ran and ran, hoping to make it. Then...dead. No no no.... AvP2 was very good but still didn't match the films by a country mile and that is all because of the writing. And I wasn't a big fan of AvP on HD platforms (recent one by Rebellion and SEGA). It just didn't feel right and did not flow at all. Controls were overly complex and it was a classic case of a game that looked pretty in stills and mediocre in motion. Animation and movement is a big part of these films and none of it was done well in the latest game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2011 I really hope the Aliens are at least that difficult to make out. When I first looked at this picture a few days ago it took me a while to realise there were four of them. Maybe I'm just an idiot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm just an idiot... That corridor is everything. That is the Alien series. I'm ready for this game. Though I kinda hate marines, since the best thing is Ripley/someone stepping up the role of being great, rather being assumed to have that role. Shut up. There's a reason the marines all die at the start of Aliens. Come on you muthas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 1, 2011 Looks so, so good. Can't wait. Need the Wiiiiuuuuuuu now. That motion tracker sound is so heavenly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2011 Motion tracker on the Wii U screen will look really cool! Though they'd better remove it from the version on your TV, cause having two appearing would feel lazy and cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) New Teaser Trailer I copied this thread across from the Wii U boards as there isn't one for the game here as far as I can see... but could a Other Consoles Mod @Dan Dare @McPhee @Domstercool change the thread title for me please, I forgot to do so before I copied it across and I'm powerless in this realm! :p Edited January 27, 2012 by Retro_Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2012 Actually the first time I've seen the trailer, I'm impressed and I know a lot of work has gone into everything to do with the game. I'm rather looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2012 This thread is tainted.Yeah sorry about that... I only realised until after I'd brought it in, just how Wii U related the discussion was! [if that's what you mean?] Maybe one of the Mods here could give the thread a bit of a tidy up for this board. Or just delete it and someone start a new one. Still there are some great gameplay video's of the PS3/360 version in here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
