Modern Combat: Domination trailer wants you to know the game costs $8

@Liamario Knowing Gameloft it will be meh, but not tragic. About 10 years ago they used to make great, high quality java/symbian mobile games... And 10 years later they still make the same quality level games, but unfortunately quality standards are much higher now ;)

Can't think straight today, did that even make any sense?

@Dark Archon PSN Archonik XBL Dar That made lots of sense. They make crappy games now.

@Liamario Well, at least players won't have to deal with the hackers that have literally destroyed Modern Warfare 1&2. (for now)

@Liamario

For $8 this game looks damn good. This is the sort of stuff that is good to encourage by purchasing in my opinion. If we support the FPS games that are trying to give us more bang for less buck, it'll benifit us as those games will continue to improve and their prices wont continue to grow.

@Liamario

Well, as it turns out this isn't Call of Duty at all. It's Counter-Strike with iron sights.

@shopping bags Have you played a Wii FPS before? You don't have to constantly stand up and extend your arms. Only an idiot would do that. Everyone just rests the two controllers on their knees while sitting. Simple as that. Not tiring at all.

@shopping bags I've played MAG with Move, considering Move is extremely precise you don't really have to move much if you rest your arm on your knee.

@shopping bags
You can't say it's not going to succeed either. You do not have a time travelling Delorian.

@R5
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

@Lucky48
I noticed it as well. Played CS on and off since the first beta nearly 10 years ago. Probably why I suck at CoD.

@Premature ejaculation man
Oy. misposted. Again:
Pretty sure Metroid Corruption on the Wii does that if you set the motion control mode to "advanced".

@Premature ejaculation man

I remember reading on the Killzone 3 blog post that you could set the dead zone to essentially zero, creating a more mouse-like effect. I'm curious to see how well it turns out.

@Premature ejaculation man
Goldeneye Wii has controls similar to how Killzone 3's configurations sound. Basically yea, there is a mode where there is almost no dead zone, though you want to have at least a very small dead zone because it's tougher to keep a motion controller centered and still than it is to not move a mouse or analogue stick. However, this method of control is NOT like a mouse. It is essentially replacing the right analogue stick with a motion controller. It is the same acceleration-based aiming that you'll find on a normal console controller.

Mouse-like movement would require the aiming system to stop rotating the camera the instant you stop moving the controller. With these games, you tilt it right and it will continuously rotate the camera rigut until you point the wand back towards the center of the screen. It's disappointingly similar to an analogue stick.

They have potential, as they are pointing devices, but no developer has implemented a control configuration that reaches that potential. Screw it, I've been in this conversation too many times and I'm tired of using words to describe the possible solutions. I'm going to write up a thesis with diagrams and link to it from now on. I'll be back to show you my ideas if I follow through.

@sonicspike41
I was going to say something similar. It may be comparable to a bus ticket (somewhere) or a footlong sandwich, but it's not a _good_ price for either of those things.

@sonicspike41 Well here in Chicago a Bus ticket is $2 each and Jimmy John subs in combo are almost $9 while Subways are just shy of $7.

@Lucky48

I wasn't bashing anything. I was just making an observation. If anything these days $8 for a downloadable game is on par, if not cheap.

@trunas

yeah, I saw that too and thought, "damn, that's an effective shotty"

@trunas you obviously haven't played Quantum of Solace, but then again l was the one dominating in that game anyways

@trunas

Those are the pre-patched 1887's

I'd rather buy the sub sandwich
