this was the one thing with move that seemed to stand on its own... I don't mind the idea of HD wii sports either, as long as it really is 1:1... that was my only real complaint with the wii when it released... there was motion control, but it was gimmicky and registered «wiggles» into canned animations... not to mention the gamecube visuals... still not sold on Move though... for me to really want one, I want to see what they are doing with shooters... Socom 4 and killzone 3 could be very special for core gamers and motion controls if they are done right... if you can aim on
screen in true 1:1 fashion while sitting comfortably at a «normal» gaming distance... it could rearrange how I play first person shooters on a console... developers are saying the Move has input latency of 21ms, which is roughly half of a DS3... and second only to a wired mouse /
keyboard... need to see how it
works though, as it is not always that simple... just saying that if it does what its supposed to... it could end up being the answer to shooters on a console... as much as I like playing shooters with 2 sticks... I can't argue that I miss the days of a mouse and
keyboard (as well as PC being the only platform to get the best shooters on... no longer the case by any means)... but with a first person shooter, there is no wiggle room... pun intended... it has to register every mm of movement on
screen... and do it quickly... not sure if it can yet...
