PC Motion Controller with Portal 2

[J T]

I just saw this on Steam- there is a PC motion controller now created by Razer that is currently coming packaged with Portal 2.



The video makes it look like a pretty useful application of motion controls. I may be wrong, but the ability to twist and turn things easily makes this look like more than a gimmick. I haven't played Portal 2 yet, so I don't know how easy it is to do these same actions with a mouse + keyboard, but it appears rather intuitive and easy to do with the motion controller.

The addition of left handed motion control is what really sets this one apart. The twisting, turning and pulling seems to really enhance a puzzle game like Portal. I guess it ultimately comes down to developers' willingness to design a scheme around it. Turns and looking are still not as quick as mouse play, nor does aiming look as precise.

Fortunately Portal 2 has far fewer "twitch" puzzles than its predecessor.
