What happened to motion controls?

They're actually being brought back, at least for PS VR

Remember how fucking cool this shit was in 2006?
Then the novelty wore off and you were stuck with a controller with shit layout, a shitty gyroscope that every game used, and a shitty battery life.
everyone ran out of ideas; whether because of 'shake the controller to move faster' or because the entire video gameindustry is creatively bankrupt is up to you
and mark my words: the exact same thing will happen to VR
People have moved on to the next big gimmick, VR
Only difference is VR doesn't make gameplay better.
They dead nigga

They were kept as a staple in the industry despite the fact that only Nintendo seemed to work out how to use them well, and even they fuck it up often.

Well, we still have gyroscope aiming with the Wii U. I know the PS4 controller has something similar, where you can at least type things by pointing the controller.
I'm not sad to see flicking/swinging the controller gone, but I'm glad that aiming/pointing the controller stuck around.
i mean the whole thing with VR seems to be 'here's a cool thing, go make something that uses it': and that's putting the cart before the horse. a solution to a problem that didn't exist.
nintendo's problem was 'how do we make it easier for non-core-gamers to play our games', and their solution was to make it so what you do with your hands more or less happens on screen
whereas vive, oculus or any of that shit doesn't have a similar problem and solution. there's no definition or scope to the projects at all

This, why would abanoned a larger player base to appease the 5-10% of people that will have the VR equipment. It just doesn't make sense if you are a developer.
The same problem nintendo consoles have right now, can't get developers unless you have a player base, can't get a player base if you don't have the games.

Very few games made use of them. Even after Sony released their imitation, Nintendo was the only one still really supporting it, barely. The way I look at it, with the current market conditions we're lucky we got to see it implemented at all.

i guess it wriggled out
