Peter Molyneux has expressed him interesting ideas on the future of the standard controller in games.

The and Black and White creator told Develop Online that be believes that standard controllers will be around for a long time yet.

Molyneux said: "The controller is a skateboard. It requires an element of skill and practice for use. And yes, it is lovely and refreshing to use motion controllers, but they are a different kind of experience. You can argue all you want that bicycles are better for cycling than skateboards, but ultimately they're too different experiences for compare."He concluded: Games controllers have been designed for two decades, and they're not going anywhere, they will continue to evolve. I don't think motion control, in itself, will cause the death of standard controllers."
