After reading so many story books to my kid...
I have come to accept that bears love honey like men love money, pigs can fly and mice have table manners.
Ah yes, I get that. But you forgot 'bout wind pollination.

You might want to spoiler-tag that.
Well I covered some of that, didn't I?
Yes, yes you did.
And it's fine you might not take me seriously. Evoltuoin didn't come through with the MotorStorm interview. I blame Sony, they don't know what the f*cks going on.
What are the chances of us getting something that combines the viewpoint and control of Flower with a space themed title? Or even a Space expansion for Flower? I'd love to collect space dust, astriods, meteors, etc, and create new Stars, planets, etc. It would be awesome to have the game "build your own mini-galaxy". Use different elements to create different planets, larger stars, etc.
*sigh* I can dream...

just like flowers
Nice interview with Jenova Chen, creative director at thatgamecompany.

I think the biggest reason that Flower works so well with motion control is because of the speed at which you travel, and also there isn't a great necessity to be extremely accurate (I mean, you never really can "see" the wind, just "feel" it).
I don't think the motion controls from Flower would translate to Warhawk well at all.
The control scheme is very similar to Lair's but better because it uses the right thumb stick to fine-tune the speed. In Lair, right thumb stick controls the rider's view which is seldom used, and you have to flap the dragon's wings (X) constantly to build speed.
You can kinda see the wind in Flower. I usually watch the tip of the grass movement to control the wind (The player is some distance behind the wind). It works rather well until it becomes too fast for me to handle.
Right now, I can't pilot Warhawk at all. It's too confusing for me.

What? Thumb stick? What are you talking about....oh you use the thumb stick as your speed button - cause that's any and all of the buttons. Your top speed also depends on how many petals you have.
I use the triggers for speed
Also, the reason Warhawk and Flower are different is becuase Warhawk has a defined object that has hard edges and can "collide" with objects. With flower, you have a general sense of the "wind" but you really "feel" it, not "see it" and it's collision is far more forgiving.
There is a huge difference between the forgiving "hit box" in Flower, and the very very precise hit detection box of Warhawk.
Not to mention the speed between the two is worlds apart.

I've been playing Warhawk since day one and I've only ever flown twice. I just can't get the hang of the controls, it just feels awkward! I've always played on foot, tanks being my favourite (got the million to one trophy).
If Warhawk handled like flower it would be so much more straight forward. But it did come out when everyone and their dog was saying how crap sixaxis was and how every game that used it was awful. If they included it now it probably would be a different matter!
