I had another thought on this last night. The fact that millions of people have gotten used to the control on consoles doesn't mean that it's a good design; people can adapt to use anything you give them, whether it's crap or pure gold. I can sling our POS Mazda around a corner at the limits of its tire adhesion - but that sure as shit doesn't make it a racecar.  |
1) People will race *anything*, even POS, beat-down 626's.
2) Console controllers are *very* good for games like sports and action games, which is what they were designed for. So it's not a bad design, it's just being mis-used for the racing genre.
3) The best interface for FPS is a head-tracked helmet display and a gun mockup. The CRT + mouse is actually pretty crappy for immersion, even if it is quite accurate.
4) ???
5) profit!!
