Capcom not Happy with Sixaxis

On Gamer.TV on Sunday there was an interview with the Head of R & D for Capcom. He stated that Capcom will not be using the motion-sensing capabilities of the Sixaxis controller in any of their upcoming PS3 games.

"I thought that Devil May Cry was going to use it?"
Obviously not now that its coming on 360.
I bet they wanted to use it in there games but cant because they are now multiplatform. Man the 360 is definately gonna hold the PS3 back!!!

_insane_cobra6914d ago

Right, I guess that's the reason many multiplatform releases do support Sixaxis in their PS3 versions...

cdawson6914d ago (Edited 6914d ago )

haha foolish fanboy....

They're not using it because sixaxis is a joke, it sucks bad....to the point where including it was pointless. There hasn't been a worthwhile use of it yet and I don't see anything changing. The idea of it isn't even very good. It's like comparing Safeway cola to the real thing, in reference to the Wii nunchuk.

AcidRhain6913d ago

Developers are realizing that the "system selling" sixasxis is a gimmick after all. hmmm..

AngryHippo6913d ago (Edited 6913d ago )

I doubt it dude, strongly. In some respect i agree, i would like to see a ps3 title that truely does it justice but at the moment there is absolutely NO titles doing it justice!maybe in 2008 i think ps3 will truely take off and show what it can really do but until then i think this year 360 will dominate with its insane amount of killer games and AAA titles!If you have a ps3 dude add me psn AngryHippo

Are you kidding me?

Play Resistance, check out the Ratchet and Clank Demonstration from Gamers day, play Super rubadub, check out the videos of LittleBigPlanet, check out the warhawk beta.

Man i can keep naming more titles but you should be starting to get the point, the Sixaxis is shown to perform really well in all of the above games i had mentioned and it will only get better overtime.

ShAkKa6913d ago

when did an extra feature a became a bad thing? if capcom doesn`t want to use it that is their problem.

i'm guessing DMC4 does not have it cause there are no "planes" to fly? not as innovative as Wii? what was that?

please don't tell us that the actual reason was you were tying to balance the game because 360 does not have motion-control thingy.

we all thought DMC4 had sixaxis features... let's wait and see.

EDIT: @conan (above)

he he he... i agree... but i personally don't want to point the fingers right now. right now i'm on the "assumption" level. q:

GameJunkieJim6914d ago

That Capcom doesn't want their games to be gimmicky.

It's not like it's a Wii, where the whole controller was built from the ground up with motion in mind, the PS3 just added it as an afterthought. It works well, but you don't "need" it in anything (possibly Lair will fix that).

ThaGeNeCySt6914d ago

LOL plenty of other devs think otherwise and are putting sixaxis to good use so..

d'ah well.

cdawson6914d ago

Name one game that has proven to the market that sixaxis is not a waste of a developers time?

fenderputty6913d ago

Flow, Warhawk, lair, Reistance used it nicely, Folklore looks nice too. I'm sure MGS4 will us it well. Some would disagree but, I liked using it in motorstorm too. It's a lot of fun driving like that and adds to the gameplay.

All I'm hearing from this dev is, "we're not creative enough to think of good ways to use the sixaxis."

It can be done and is being done in some instances. I'm sure Killzone will also use the sixaxis as well.

capcom well there goin where the money is at right now..and microsoft is slappin them in the face with their green papers..lol.and shovin up their rear..the fact that capcom did say devil may cry 4 will be usin the SIXAXIS then all the sudden change it is because their workin on both the ps3 and 360 version.they dont want to screw up gameplay for the dmc4 on the 360 since their is no motion sensing in their controller..

@5.1: what is the main reason that they take it out?? maybe motion sensing have to do somethin with gameplay or part of the game..and its more extra work for capcom..so they probaly feel like since the ps3 installed base isnt big enoough why would they put the extra time into it?? a lot of devlopers is takin the easy way out..they rather go the 360..and what games are you talkin about??

If capcom dont like it they can go screw themself..lol..a lot of people lost respect for them anyways..they let money control them..

ThaGeNeCySt6914d ago

I don't understand, how can they screw it up? You give PS3 motion control features, and you don't give 360 motion controls, simple as that. Games have already been doing this

GameJunkieJim6914d ago

They have more space on the disc as well so it's not like they can't or are worried about screwing anything up.

They just don't like the Motion control of the Sixaxis.

Bloodmask6913d ago

even try to insult Capcom because you are a PS3 fanboy. Capcom is one of the most renowned developers in the industry. It is stupid to say that a company goes where the money is anyway.......isn't that the whole point. The fact is that they were just stating their opinion.......ther is this thing called freedom of speech.....and I'm sure Capcom would have more than one bubble.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle3d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga11d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199210d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga10d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman10d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger10d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box11d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion10d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7211d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7511d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit11d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14911d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7711d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
