Words and actual gameplay are 2 different things. Anyone can SAY their product is better than the rest. Although.. Sony does have some great technology. I'll wait till this new controller and Natal come out before I believe the marketing behind them.

Haha :D

Don't play GTA then! Otherwise don't be suprised to be in a REAL state prison, no such thing as exit game and reload after blowing up cars and military helicopters, running over a granny and sleeping with a prostitute.

....but it felt so REAAALLL!!!

"I have the feeling that with the Wii Motion Plus, Natal, and PS3's Dildo's, that my living room is going to be a disaster, that or I will have to take the paintings off the walls, get rid of my coffee table so I can look like an idiot playing virtual soccer or dodge ball, make sure that my pets are locked in a room so I don't kick them while they walk by, and when I have friends over I will bring out my protective shin guards and head gear that I use in Kyokushin Kai, I might also need a protective shield of plexi glass in front of my tv just in case I scan a skate board and it happens to fly through my LCD after a kick flip."




Jesus! Is that a sentence? PS3's Dildo's? You play pretty hard with dildo's than, huh? You have to clear out the room for that?

Dunno, you mentioned PS3 'dildos', scanning your dick, etc. You mentioned your niece but you're the one that sounds like a 9 year old and a moron.

I hate hate hate playing FPS games with the dual thumbstick. I understand this is a personal failing, but I would buy this controller in second if there was some sort of built-in functionality that allowed it to replace the right thumbstick in any game. I would go back and play any number of FPS games that I missing out on now if that could happen.
I know there are probably a million reasons why this won't happen, but it seems like adoption of a new peripheral would go a lot better if it could replace the standard controller transparently in any game and then adding the cool motion stuff to new games.

More like an article stating Sony stated something positive about Sony. Subtle difference, but worth about 30 extra comments.

Wonder if this could be used to finally bridge the FPS gap between PCs and consoles. With two of these, one hand could do movement (maybe tilt, not big changes in arm position) with the other doing look (again, not big movements, just fine controls). Since you'd have two hands full of buttons you could map a lot of stuff, too.

Its probably as good as motion plus. However, it will all depend on the ease of developing and the access/support given to said developers. Seeing the small amount of games that are built around the Eye Toy as a whole, this is probably Sony's attempt to convince everyone waggle is a gimmick.

This could be better than motion plus, but there are two problems with it. One, the controller looks stupid (Remember the Nyko Wand, it's more advance than the wii remote; but no one bought them. The controller was extremely ugly). And the second problem is the price. Sony is going to make this so technologically advanced that no one can afford it. And they won't drop the price, because then they would lose money.

That's impressive. If only they could work out the bugs and such and get this on the market! But what game would use this? Something in the RTS or maybe RPG games im guessing.

Nintendo is definately not the innovators they used to be. Microsoft and Nintendo may be ahead but only because they play it safe. Nintendo would rather make 10 Mario games then to try some thing new. Microsft just sits back and gets as many generic shooters as possile. Microsoft has been in the gaming business for more than a decade by now and the only notable recognizable character they have so far is Master Chief.Pathetic. I believe that Sony can make these wands work because they are more techinacally advanced then the Wii and unlike Microsoft, they are no strangers to having casual games on their systems . I just hope that they don't fall into the same loop as Nintendo and make stupid pointless games like Wii Sports, Carnival games and garbage like that

ahhh... stuff like this always brings out the Fanboys doesn't it...

Anyways, I like the Motion Control + Camera Idea Sony is coming up with.
I have a Wii and the Motion Control is a little loose, Some of the Games are still fun, but you just have to expect it to be less than perfect. The Motion+ should make it a little bit better I would believe. Still undecided if I am gonna get a Motion+...

The Reason I like what Sony Showed off is because it looks like it would work really well in RPGs as they demonstrated, But it would probably allow the 1st Star Wars Light Saber Game where I could feel like I am actually controlling the Saber...

Please please please! Enough with the magic wand technology. Let Nintendo keep it. Some of us are not interested in prancing around our living rooms swinging our arms like asses. Buck the trend Sony! I beg you!

Like, really, having a motion sensing wand, for all intensive purposes is good enough with the Wii.

It's not really exciting anymore. Natal is at least partially interesting because we hope it offers something new in terms of game play.

To me, it just feels like Sony wants to play catch up and have something to compete with Wii and Xbox with in terms of motion capturing.

How many actually read the article?..

Eurogaymer has such a hard on for microsoft..

If you read his earlier posts, the idiot talks about drawing nobs in eyepet.. What an ass hole and this one he talks about drawing nobs.. Super prick.. I wonder why when interviewing MS Reps about Natal he mentions nothing about his fascination with nobs.. I wonder why all the nob talk comes on when interviewing and dealing with anything Sony related, probably too busy sucking the microsoft reps nob..

To add further insult he takes the piss out of the two Sony reps. Look at the pictures and the comments, in the worst taste possible, this guy is the ultimate prick. The Sony reps must have read through the article and thought Ellie Gibson you nob obssessed di...less wa....er.

Too bad I don't to move around while playing games. What I'd love (and what won't happen) is a Photoshop-style image editing program (a super-enhanced EyeCreate basically) for those controllers. I can imagine being able to do some bad-ass editing on a projector with those controllers, them moving a high-quality image onto my computer for more detailed editing in Illustrator and actual-Photoshop.

Why am I teasing myself this idea - that's too awesome to EVER happen.
