So, the new controller

[watchdog]

II thiink we all agree that thiis controller iis legendary and revolutiionary. However, iis iit goiing to be as good as we hope? Please, don't take thiis post the wrong way, Ii love the Wii as much as the next guy, BUT...

Iis iit goiing to piick up on everythiing we do? eg, can sword fiightiing iin Red Steel be that liimiitless? Iif so, awesome! Iif not, stiill awesome!!!

Iis iit goiing to be too realiistiic? Ii'm worriied that, whiile playiing games liike bowliing or throwiing the ball iin baseball, Ii'm goiing to throw the remote at the TV, causiing a lot of cash iin repaiirs. That would be embarrasiing!

The sensor that you put on top of or below your TV set. Wiill iit pick up everythiing you do, or wiill iit be faulty? A controller thiis new must have some set-backs we can't see!

When playiing multii-player games wiith friiends or famiily...eg, tenniis, are you goiing to end up sendiing someone to hospiital from smashiing them iin the face when gettiing carriied away??

Iif anyone knows any answers, please reply. any feed-back would be great. Iif not, Ii'll just waiit and see.

Watchdog out :arrow: :arrow:

Dont have any real answers for you so you will have to wait and see!

...But, firstly Wii is nothing special in terms of a console (graphics/processing) and Nintendo are resting everything on the controller. So im pretty confident it will be amazing!

Guaranteed to happen!!!

i agree with matt about the prossesor and graphics
the wii remote will rock tho.
i'm sure if u accidently smash you friends or family member in the face with a remote while using it as a racket they wont over react as your likely to recieve the same punishment later on. lol

[budtom]

Well the graphics arn't bad i mean red steel and like zelda look nice. I had a GC, Xbox, PS2, DS, GBA. to be honest i enjoyed the GC the most and the PS3 is just a bit of a more powerful PS2. The Xbox is well ok i suppose, i just think they like to do multiplayer stuff so it's like a nintendo/sony cos they have good powerful systems and mulitplayer. the thing is though is that microsoft and sony seem to just churn out the repetitive systems and games. ok so microsoft haven't been in the bis as long. but i mean GTA series yeah ok good but very similar.

you could say mario metroid zelda DK etc. repetitive but i mean they come up with new levels charecters and a new way to play them ie the wii controller. i just think xbox has too many buttons and can be very confusing. sony haven't changed their controller much. i hear they've copied nintendo with the motion sensing a bit. i'm perfectly happy with the remote i think it works well. the DS i enjoyed alot and we all know how much it kicked psp's behind.

so yeah go go go nintendo and the wiimote.

[budtom]

sorry if i kinda talk about other things rather than just the remote. however i think that the remote will be just right. i mean i recieve NGAMER as i'm sure some of you all do. they say it's all good. i mean occasional problems which would be almost necessary for the second shot of games to improve on. but as NGAMER said red steel got a 91 i believe and for them to get so much right on a first try is very good and the future promises good results. so the remote must work if they think that it deserves 91%.

[Rob]

budtom your absolutly right Sony has nicked the nintendo wireless and 1/2/3/4 controler light on their controler. (look to the left of the L1 and L2 buttons)

sony and mircrosoft are just adding more power to their consoles, not like the wii remote or new style of everything the wii does.

[budtom]

yes not only that rob but i'm sure sony's controller has a kinda motion sensor on the remote like the wii does. not needing a sensor bar but like one that monitors the way the remote is moved just like the way exite truck is turned. like twist forward to change landing and like right or left for direction, these don't rely on the sensor bars but rather built in acceleration technology or something. sony how dare you steal ninty's things /slap :)

[SuperJario]

Arhh Playstation should be ashamed of themselves! How can they just completly copy the Wii's controller functions.Haha and i bet Playstaion are telling everyone that they had it first?

[Foz]

they are ashamed lol, they got sued by nintendo for using the same technology, so all they done was change the inner workings, ever wonderd what happened to the boomarang controller for ps3? now you know, they got sued lol, cos they are dirty theives it was nintendos idea lol

[SuperJario]

Haha that is quite funny! hAAHAHAHA :lol:

I am interested in exactly what the remote can and can't do. To take an example, in Wii Sports you can hit a backhand shot with a forehand swing, if you know what I mean. It's not really 1-to-1 correspondence, it seems to be largely down to the timing of the swing rather than anything else. The irony is it works in Wii Sports because the easiest way to time it (well, I find this anyway) is to swing it exactly like you would a real racket. What I don't know is, does the Wii really have the capability to do 1-to-1 correspondence (e.g. the sword-fighting example)? I mean Wii Sports is a launch game, and more or less an example of what can be done and not really anything like what could be done when the console potential is aimed at a few years down the line.

Any thoughts?

Well if i try and hit a backhand when doing a forhand action it either misses or the ball goes flyin out of bounds!!! dont know what your doing! :o

[rraze]

think he's talking about volleys maybe?

but a few things I've noticed about tennis:

- direction DOES depend on timing to a degree BUT I find if I want to get a really tight angly cross court I have to aim there.

- It is devilishly difficult to hit down the line but it is possible. I think you just have to aim well, well to the right on the forehand side.

- wrist flicks only work to a point - sometimes if the action is too 'short' the heavy topspin just makes the ball hit the net. I'm sure doing the full tennis carries some advantage.

have a go at the tennis training, it really helps I find

Definitely the formula case. It looks so refined / comfortable. I hate the car in the car with the Monster cable because the wires are too big to go inside. it looks like even if the hole is not large enough with the phone in and out would be a breeze. convert mkv to vob (http://www.mkvtovob.net/) I wouldn't recommend this case. Cheaply assembled. Now the case is used for my 2nd iPad (mainly at-home uses), 1st iPad case's Incipio Destroyer. BTW, Destroyer is really HEAVY!, it doubles the weight of iPad (kinda heavy to hold with one hand even for guys like me) But, I feel like it's solid and strong enough to protect.

Ok, so if he is such a big Apple fan or true Apple fan then why Jail Break his Apple Devices. Thats what I mean by integrity. This is a professional blog but yet he does not stay true to Apple because if he was such a big fan he wouldn't JB and change there Product. This site needs to clean up and get rid of all the Jail Break Material and Post(but i'm sure that would cripple there traffic to site) Ads and all. Then Restore all there devices and stay tru to apple, since this is support to be a true Apple blog. Also don't jump band wagon over to Verizon the second it comes out. Like I said, this site need Integrity and it would be perfect. vob to avi converter (http://www.vobtoaviconverter.net/) this is what life is all about �. having fun Well Disney and Apple store what should Jobs be mad about

I am a long time iPhone users currently holds a 4th iPhone I have the Samsung Galaxy SII because I wanted to see something different. But if you're happy with your iPhone, I do not recommend buying on the SII. IOS is so simple and the user experience is as smooth as ever seen anywhere. iTunes is the next thing, it's absolutely the best application to manage all content for the iPhone. (It was a pain to synchronize the SII with the iTunes library ...) I decided to sell my SII and keep my iPhone 4, while very excited about the IOS 5, which will be released soon and I hope the successor to the iPhone 4 . dvd to iphone converter free (http://www.topdvdtoiphone.com/) I'd love to know the numbers of Droid owners, who only went Android, because they thought that the iPhone would never come to Verizon. That, I suspect, will play out in the next 18 months or so. Also, whilst Android is a worthy competitor, I'm sure that the fact that it's on all carriers, and in a lot of low and mid-range(cheaper) devices, is a major reason why the numbers are as they currently are.

I can see that the iPhone was on wifi, but was the blackberry. If not, that could have also played a role in the speed differences. dvd rip for mac (http://www.dvdripformac.com/) ... And I think that group should be the decision makers. Samsung should not be able to see Apple products, even Apple should be able to see Samsung's future products. You should ask the judge for two terms or the group under NDA, and let them decide. Then you can start breaking the NDA leak.
