Wii type of controller for L2 ?

Greetings,

You guys remember when a company stole the "mouse" from another company ?

I mean, nice piece of work, if you consider the mouse usage in computers.

Now with a new controller of the wii type (http://wii.nintendo.com/) would bring a whole new dimention to MMO's, as well as all computer games.

If you had to design this kind of hardware for L2, how would you do it ?

How about if you had to make it for computer games in general ?

Would you buy this kind of controller to enhance your gameplay ?

Have Fun ! ™

Wii looks dumb. Hello Xbox 360.

Greetings,

You cannot see the forest because the trees block your view.

Open your mind, just a little bit perhaps, and you will grasp my posts.

Hmmm...It would be interesting to play like that. It would need alot of buttons though. For the F keys. YOu remember those old game systems? I cant remember what it was called. But the controllers had like 20 buttons and for each game there was this paper insert thing you would slide over the buttons. I think theres pc game keyboards like that now...right? with Guild wars inserts and what not. Something like that. But you move the controller around to move your toons and theres a button you hold down like your right click so you can move your camera around by moving the controller in whatever direction. For fishing it would be cool. But thats a given. Really I dunno DM. How would YOU desing it?

The Wii controller is the first step to 3d virtual gaming I believe. RPG's are built around the player immersing themselves into a new world. Being more apart of that world is the next step.

I couldn't see it working in Lineage 2 too well. But I could see it working in a fully first person rpg (no birds eye view).

However a problem is it's hard to work a keyboard around with a Wii controller but I find chat communication will die down and voice communications will be prevalent in future games.

It's a flippen tv remote control..... :)

I've played the Wii and the controller is a heck of allot of fun to use. I don’t know how you would really add the controller system to L2 due to it would be more real time. i will have to think more on this

I have a remote for my PC. :p

The shape has nothing to do with it. It has motion sensors or something in it that adds to the gameplay doesn't it?

So do I. I call it a keyboard.

*click* *click* *click*

I started with a joystick that only went up and down, with no buttons, and a gun I would shoot a white square at on the TV.

It's called innovation.

Actually, that might have been interesting.

Anybody remembers Black&White game? You performed some spells and actions not by clicking on buttons or pushing keys, but drawing symbols with the mouse. Like something like R for water, circle for whatever ... Now imagine doing that in MMORPG: you hold some controller, and draw symbols for spells and skills. Imagine PVP with something like this - now that would really require SKILLZ because not only you would need to input correct symbol so the game recognizes it, but also remember what symbol does what. Of course sooner or later there will be some third party helpers to help you playing, but gesturing would be interesting concept.
