de Blob producer: MotionPlus could make controls more complicated
Posted on September 23, 2008 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii
“I think if we had the MotionPlus to start out with, maybe the control scheme would have worked out a little bit differently. I think the temptation with having Wii MotionPlus would have been to push it more in a gestural control scheme. While it’s definitely intellectually stimulating from a development perspective to play with those ideas — and I think it does appeal to a set of gamers out there — I think the majority of people that play on the Wii want something very simple that they can just immediately get their heads around.” – Nick Hagger, de Blob producer
As far as the hardcore audience is concerned, I think there are quite a number of people out there who would support a somewhat complicated control set up if the end result was for the better. However, MotionPlus can make controls easier to understand in some ways. After all, it is an extension to increase the power that the Wii controller can produce.
