“To me, it’s not very natural to play with the stylus. I think most of the kids now are more comfortable with tablets, they use their fingers,” Ancel said, explaining that the developer had to do “some special developments to interpolate what the player is doing”, in order to make finger input on the GamePad accurate enough"

Use your finger on the resistive screen.

It's still probably more accurate than using your finger on a capacitive screen.

Yes become Rayman uses capacitive touch to its fullest in Jungle Run. You can use your fingers with a resistive screen, for being resistive its actually pretty good.

Fingers over stylus? Okay.....

I do prefer Capacitive myself, but what can you do eh?

I'm with you, but you can't use a stylus with capacitive. Imagine Miiverse without all those wonderful drawings.

At least he is implying it's better than SmartGlass.

When I use my fingers I can barely notice it's a resistive screen, what the hell is he talking about? And I'm used to capacitive screens a lot, since my phone has one too. Besides, I like using my stylus for some stuff like Miiverse or even navigating the Internet feels much more accurate.

This could really be a problem in Rayman Legends especially in those Dungeon levels when one miss could mean game over.

[Nollog]

maybe capacitive is catching up to resistive accuracy, but as i recall, resistive works with both fingers and stylus, and is more accurate.

The #1 most demanding thing I do with my touch pad, and the ONLY thing I use the stylus for is drawing my miiverse drawings, and thats more than enougg for me to want resistive over capacitive.

I barely ever use multi touch on my devices that support it, and when i do, its because i cant get the right zoom from double taps, and feels inconvenient.

There seems to be a misconception here that styli cannot be used with capacitive screens like the ones on the iPad and iPhone. This is incorrect. Styli do exist that can be used with such screens but they are different from the ones used with resistive screens. I've got a stylus which I use with my iPad and iPhone.

Not really, people just know that capacitive styli are typically bulky, more expensive, and still knowhere near as accurate as a stylus on a resistive screen, which has pixel perfect accuracy, so perfect miiverse users use it to manually dither grayscales and provide anti aliasing. Which is completely impossible on capacative screens even with styli.

What capacative screens have is superior responsiveness.

Really? I prefer using a stylus with my home console. Just feels more accurate and better than smudging your hand all over like a barbarian. Plus I don't need to use my whole wrist/arm, since the fingers can manipulate the stylus enough to avoid a lot of movement. Then again, I'm an artist and am used to using pens to manipulate things on and off screen. The only reason why I prefer using my hand with a phone, etc, is because I'm outside with it and don't want to lose the stylus or anything, or bother taking it out so many times a day.

These are odd comments by the developer particularly considering I was having an absolute blast playing the Legend app....with the stylus.
