@Devin, even in silver sword, the vertical navigation can very much be your
friend with the arrows sinse just like with the cursers you can flick to the
one you want, and to be honest sinse your probably double tapping to check
location anyway it doesn't matter that your not moving at super speed.
then again I'm still checking the silver sowrd access.
All the best,
Dark.

For me, I'd rather use either a bluetooth keyboard to play games or a
controller if I had one. But, since many more people have a keyboard, it'd
be better to just do that. Like in silversword, I'd much, much rather
navigate using the arrow keys.

I do think charlse has a point here, indeed it's the unique control
methods such as analogue use of the touch screen and the motion and tilt
sensors that make the iphone control so unique for games in the first
place, so using other controllers would be a little odd.
That being said, I will say one problem which several action games have
had is using multiple controls for the same sequence.
Imagine playing an Ios beatemup like streetfighter where you have
movement buttons of your character plus say several different attack
buttons, or a spaceship game where you had multiple weapons which would
usually be tied to specific keys.
inventory or action toggles and the like are okay as far as they go, eg,
two finger tap to switch weapons as in audio defense, but they're not as
immediate as they would be in a fast action situation, and for actually
locating on screen buttons sinse a vi player can't locate them visually,
and sinse in a self voicing action game there wouldn't be time to flick
to them with vo, you mostly can only use buttons in the corners of the
device, which limits you to four, though I suppose with controlling how
those controls were access, ie, single tap or two finger tap you might
exchange the rate.
Then again, fast action sequences are also just the sorts of sequences
it'd be perfect to use more complex analogue motions for anyway, ---- for
example suppose youu had a beatemup where you moved your phone up and
down to hit high and low and turned it to block, so I'm even not sure on
that one.
I would've said the physical layout of a joypad would be needed for
occasions when the position of controls is important, eg, arrows up down
left and right, however using vertical navigation and voiceover you can
find these well enough (it's rather necessary in adventure to fate battle
arena).
Of course there are keyboards which are needed for text input, sinse I
personally wouldn't fancy playing a mud or interactive fiction game on
Ios trying to use the on screen keyboard or risk dictation, but that's
fully implemented already.
all the best,
Dark.

Only thin, though, is that the motion sensors are in the device, not the
controller. That would be kind of like trying to tilt your phone with a
Bluetooth keyboard, wouldn't it? It won't work.

For Blindside and Audio Defense, at least, it would be interesting to
have these controlers. I haven't played Blind Legend, so ... no
opinion. It's always nice to have multiple options.
Still, the two games I have played offer the most emersion with the
accelerometer option. The finger swipe option is workable, as (I
suppose) is the tilt option for some, but the motion control option
feels most ... interactive. I think that adding the controlers to these
titles would be cool, but I'd also like, maybe like more, if the
developers were simply more aware of our interest in these devices. IF
people are more aware of our interest and the devices's availability,
I'm sure they could come up with even more interesting and appropriate
titles for the controler style of gameplay.

Accessible games on iOS probably don't have any support for ^these
controllers, but wouldn't it be cool if they did? It would be awesome
to get controller support for titles like Zombie Arena, BlindSide,
and A Blind Legend. I'm not sure how this all works, but I ink the
developer has to support individual controllers. Having never used
any of these devices, I can't speak to the quality or usability of
any of them.
What do you all think? Would having controller support for any of
these games be something you'd like to see?
Thanks,
Ari
