Well I think lists have been around longer than grids on PCs, but never mind. 
Either way, neither can be called innovation. The thing is, lists are better for browsing with a controller, grids show more information with tool tips on the same space and are much faster to browse with a mouse because of that.

Although I must admit, that I never understood why I would want to play with controller. At least for all the genres that I play it would be the inferiour experience. Mouse just moves that much faster and is more precise and on keyboard I have way more Hotkeys. But of course I know there are genres, where you don't need that.
off topic I know but can you imagine an RTS made for a more precise Kinect sensor (like the Kinect 2.0) where you can use your hands as a cursor (or 2 cursors) and use voice commands to boot? I always thought that would be the best applicationMataresa said:
Well what is the APM on pro players? Something in the 130APM? I want to see you waving your arms around like that and rapping commands. XD For casuals maybe, if well implemented, but for pros certainly not with current game concepts. ^^HicSuntDracones said:
But isn't there this bridge simulator for a space ship, where each of your friends man different stations like captian, weapons, drive, energy, engineer and stuff like that. Maybe you would be interested in that. It is not exactly what you meant though.
EDIT: thanks for making me laugh this late at night at the thought of you flipping out in front of the monitor like a mad man. XDDDD
actually, the new Kinect is much more precise and has a DoS perception capability so you would not really be flailing, as for commands, well, talking about RTS you would juat have to "tap" a building for instance and say "upgrade" for the upgrade menu to come up and the. Choose an upgrade...or say "select all ground troops" or "select all airborne"Mataresa said:Well what is the APM on pro players? Something in the 130APM?

Just saying it would probably be just as effective as M&K
LOL.

The point is "select all units" is not the only thing that matters. Being able to select individual units on the fly, very easily and doing it THAT fast is something a motion sensor can't do.
At least not right now, and for fucking certain not a fucking Kinect.
Speak for yourself. List inventories suck ass. They are time consuming and inefficient. If they want to put a cumbersome list menu for the console, fine. But for PC, grid is best.sidspyker said:
operative word is "right now"...also we have no idea how well the next kinect will work.CostinMoroianu said:
Also, the first tentative experiments went well with some games so why not be hopeful. Rather than select all units "select hero unit" or "select all zerglings" I don't know....single units can be tapped on...it all depends on how well DoS works
I never understood reasons behind list inventory's hate . All they needed to do is to make it more responsive and not effected by the background frame rates but on other hand first game also had REAL PC User Interface . Hybrid of both will make things good . I don't want to move my pointer on each and everything to see what it's name is , that was my only problem with The Witcher 1's UI .
CDPR please use different key this time to pick up loot , waiting 5 seconds after enemy's death to show press LMB to pick up was real pain . Make it more like Original Witcher . Combine strong points of both games . For Example while Medallion should be used like this : When we press AND hold alt key like witcher 1 it should show all the items highlighted along with their names and Geralt should place his hand on medallion and there should be sound effect of medallion just like The Witcher 2 when we press Z key . When we release ALT key the names should disappear .
I thought they said the UI is different for each platform, so I think the PC version will still have a grid inventory regardless of controller use.Mataresa said:
The way I made my TW2 inventory manageable was not to carry too many items, you never need too many anyways.
Because it's the best inventory for mouse and keyboard. No one ever invented a better solution for these controlers. Gamepad can have a scrolling lists, I don't have any problem with that. I prefer KB&M.sidspyker said:
It's slow and ineffective. Also you can have categories (filters) in grid inventory.sidspyker said:
