I'm trying Heretic and Hexen but I can't say I'm enjoying the controls at all.
The games perform really good, but controls also feel very unfinished
That's too bad, I was really hoping to play them on the Wii
I find button mappings on the Classic Controller to have a really unpractical key displacement.
You can't turn and shoot together for example, because to turn you have to use the right stick, so your thumb can't press the shoot button (Y) anymore. Same thing if you want to run and turn simultaneously, unless you do the spider. You cannot seriously play this way. The triggers button would have been a much better solution to run and shoot.
The thing is that controls can't be remapped (I've only tried heretic but I believe it's the same with Hexen). If you try to remap, the old mappings won't be erased, so they will conflict with the new ones. Luckily they will reset to defaults each time you reboot the app.
I've tried with the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo and at first it seemed to be the perfect way to play it. But then I've noticed that there's an extremely little deadzone, so it's sometimes difficult to hit enemies that aren't directly placed in front of you. As soon as you leave the deadzone (roughly as narrow as your 1st weapon, the pole) you'll begin to turn around and give your flank to the enemy.
You can't block the visual with A either, like you do in Quake2. Instead, pressing A toggles the strafe movement for some reason.
This also makes me feel a little dizzy after a while.
Quake GX is still the best with Wiimote+Nunchuck.
Too bad it's an old (and probably abandoned) project, because it was very promising.
Anyway, being the only source ports working with Wiiflow, I'll include them in the pack
