NFS: Carbon driving lesson tips for Wii |
Ó
N'Gai Croal, Newsweek's tech expert, recently took out Wii for a drive via Need for Speed: Carbon and shares his new found knowledge with the rest of the gaming world. Croal says the Wiimote has several control alternatives and explains how these schemes work:
Default Driving for Beginners
This setting uses only the Wiimote for steering and is designed for casual rather than hardcore gamers. Based on hands-on sessions, this easy-to-use default driving scheme shouldn't take non-gamers more than half an hour to master.
Wiimote and Nunchuck Driving
In this scheme, more experienced gamers get to drive using both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk. To steer your NFS vehicle, rotate the Nunchuk left and right. To floor the pedal, tilt the Wiimote forward from a 45-degree position. To apply the breaks, tilt it backwards from a 45-degree position.
Another Wiimote and nunchuck combo scheme requires gamers to hold the Wiimote at a 90-degree angle and tilt it forward to accelerate. Push the Z-button on the Nunchuk if you to break. Steering is accomplished by rotating the Nunchuk. You also have the option to steer with the Nunchuk analog stick.
How does the Wii remote and nunchuck stack up to the PS3's SIXAXIS controller? According to an NFS: Carbon focus conducted by EA, most preferred the Wii version to those on PS3 and 360 because "when they were in control, they felt like they were in control, and when they were out of control, they felt like they were out of control."
By the way, N'Gai Croal also took the PS3 for a drive. How the SIXAXIS controller performed, well, you have to find out later when he updates his Alt-Ctrl column.

Thank god that NFS Carbon wont use the Wiimote side ways like most of the racing games. It uses the Wiimote and the nunchuck attachment. That is very awsome compared to the sideways use of the remote. Finally a good racing game.
I've seen this earlier today on google news. I dissagree though, i prefer the sideways controller and find this way of racing a bit complicated and hard. Hopefully you won't HAVE TO use those controls.

This is still pretty cool because there are many options that you can use and I really like that. THE Wii ROX MY SOX.
Sounds sweet, but what would be cooler is if you could hold the Wiimote like a stick shift and drive a standard. It'd be sweet to do it like that, especially if they could make some sort of Wiimote holdster that would hold it up so you could use it for gas or a stick shift.
Heck, if they're giving out steering wheels, why not shift boxes?
while you'r at it why not make pedals too! ;)
so many ways of controlling. im gonna hold it sideways tho. but still cool.
