EA CEO: Motion control “still too imprecise”
Electronic Arts boss John Riccitiello isn’t wholly convinced by motion control gameplay on Move and Kinect. “Personally, while there’s some great experiences on Move, and there’s some great experiences on Kinect, I’m not a motion control guy,” the executive told IndustryGamers. “It’s still too imprecise for me. I like shooting something and hitting it. I like turning a corner and feeling precision. So I still like my swizzle sticks and my shoulder buttons and my Xs and Os, etc.” One thing Riccitiello is excited about is Nintendo’s Wii U. “It's a high definition platform and I love the controller. I just think it’s cool,” he said. “You’re a gamer - so you’ve got the screen here [in your hands] and you’ve got the [TV] screen there and you’ve got full control… There is something about having that second screen that transcends anything I’ve ever done before… I think there’s something really powerful about a second screen that I think really matters."
