What do motion controls mean for us?
otion control seems to be all the rage these days: Nintendo started the ball rolling with the Wiimote; Microsoft's Natal should be out by year's end; Sony even has a motion controller in the works (despite the tilt-sensitivity already built into its SIXAXIS). While these products do a lot to enhance casual experiences, what potential do they hold for improving the gameplay in more hardcore titles like first-person shooters and traditional action games?
What's your take, core demographic? Does Natal have you excited or worried? Will motion control usher in a new era of action gaming, or will it result in a market flooded by lackluster casual titles?
