PS3 Sixaxis controller

Hen_Dawg · 14 Nov 2007 at 20:02

I'm wondering if there is some difinitive list of games that use the motion sensetive features of the sixaxis controller. A web search wasn't helping me, found out what's compatible but I'm interested in what games properly use it. e.g. NBA live 08 I'm told you can free throw with the movement.
Is support for curent games regarded as not being great?
Thanks

Different games seem to put it too use with varying levels of success - perhaps the less successful ones are the ones where it has been added for the sake if it.

R:FOM has a nice feature where you can shake the controller to shake of enemies if they get a hold of you.

Uncharted demo uses the sixaxis for balance when walking across logs for example.

Flow is pretty much 100% sixaxis and works very well, and Locoroco Cocoreccho has features such as if you shake the controller parts of the environment shake (like branches).

I would regard support as being very decent when it's not forced

Heavenly Sword uses it for "afterthought", a technique whereby you control the flightpath of arrows, cannonballs and shields by tilting the controller.

When its done properly sixaxis is a nice way to gain some extra control in a game, as above there have been some nice touches in certain games, there have also been poor examples in others (Lair from what I read)

Off Topic - ic1male - where do you get those sigs? I like the idea of showing what i'm currently playing

Sometimes it can be a little awkward because the motion controls are basically like extra buttons

I make them myself - snipping GameSpot's game banners and resizing down.

Ratchet and Clank uses it well for some flying sections, and a very nice mini game
where you tilt the controller to guide a ball type thing through a maze bit like those games you had as a kid ...

Its quite good in Folklore where you pull back and forth on the controller to pull out their souls. & apparantly in gaiden it increases you ninpo if you shake the controller, tho i cant really tell the difference when i do.
