RE: [GD-Design] FPS console controls

[Jamie F. <ja...@qu...>]

I didn't go into detail on algorithms, but i like the Metroid control
system. It isn't an FPS control system, and the game's not an FPS :) I have
one niggle regarding the interaction of scanning and combat, though.

I still reckon the grandaddy is goldeneye :) halo worked well, timsplitters
i've not played much.

Subject: [GD-Design] FPS console controls


The issue of FPS controls in console games just came up in the algorithms
list, but it seems more appropriate here. People mentioned Halo and
Timesplitters as good examples (I personally disagree about TS), and Metroid
as a bad example. However, in Metroid the gameplay is well adapted to the
(limited) control scheme.

So, well, discuss...
