PlayStation Motion Controller's release date moves to fall 2010

With Natal u can use any object u like. So if u want a sword u can pick up a plastic sword or some stick. so i dont knw wat ur talking abt.

Oh Holy Fuck....they Better not Delay Eyepet in the US again because of this shit....

looks like maybe a fist thumb down dance move?

PMC

I have really been looking forward to this, I cant believe they delayed it..

Its not going to be suitable for everything, but stuff like resident evil arc edition etc would be really cool.

Maybe they have something big planned for it and apparently it will be called ARC - According to engadget anyway

Engineering and software schedules - made to be broken

The game industry needs to stop bothering announcing schedules until they're actually sure they're going to hit their targets. maybe like, after the product is either done or 1 month away from completion (in the Q/A process).

I kid of course, I don't know alot about realistic estimates for schedules, but I'm just saying...

delayed makes me sad, but i'm anxious for natal and spherearcgem. cause i remember how much fun i had the first month i had a wii. i felt like a kid again. and i know even though these are motion controllers and alot of people on this site have a stick up their ass when it comes to them, i don't give a shit. it's a new way to play games and i'm all for that. werd?! hell yeah werd.

Let NATAL run head first into the fire, to get to know how hot it is.

In other news, I am getting pretty tired of having to continually buy shit for something I already own. Never really catch a break, and I'm always swimming through 80 peripherals.

wheres bradwart bitching about motion control, or is it just motion control involving microsoft that he has a problem with.

Uh...doesn't anyone else think this looks like a PS3 Controller/Dildo hybrid, or is it just me?

Sorry Sony, you can't copy the Wii and get away with it (we'll see...)

on to Xbox

Natal looks cool (but chunky like the 360) but as far as motion controlled games go, Wii has the upper hand (but the worst games). If Microsoft use Natal for FPS's such as Crysis 2, BioShock 2 or Halo: Reach, and it works well, then maybe the Wii fanbase may come to Xbox...

crap...that's a bad thing...more noobs....uh oh...I guess it may be easier getting Achievements such as the ridiculous one (forgot which game) where you have to be #1 in the world or something...

My opinion on motion controlling:

Wii: Best so far, but the games are too childish. Good for families.

PS3: Not sure how the hell this will work with shooters (unless you throw it, like a grenade, destroying your TV), but let's see where it goes. Hopefully not in the path of Betamax.... Nintendo could sue Sony, Sony could lose Millions, could increase delays of games and accessories...

Xbox 360: Depending on how Natal works, this could be a breakthrough or a novelty. Microsoft make expensive accessories, but if Natal goes well, i'm buying no matter what the price!

I thought they were calling it Arc.

sony-motion controller on its 'designing phase' was a bit more exhilarating than this one. Before, it was called the 'orb', 'gem' and now an arc.. perhaps, next it'll be called as a magic stick.. lol. http://tiny.cc/motioncontrol but I'm still crossing my fingers that they do change the design of the stick.

Makes sense. Their efforts have consistently seemed further behind than Microsoft's, since the two were announced at the same time, and it surprised me that they thought they could get it out significantly ahead of them.

Pretty much everyone knew that spring date was an effort to one up MS. The only reason we saw the wand at last year E3 was because MS was showing something for Natal so Sony felt they needed a respond. Then without even having a decent production model of the wand, they announce they will be releasing the device in spring.

I am sure Sony just like MS understood that if they are giving developers the device in June then fall next year is the optimal date to have a decent line up of games for the system.

Forget games like Resident Evil 5 and LBP which were not designed with the wand in mind. Yes they work but it doesn't get you excited. What people want to see are games designed with the controller as the only input so we can really see what they can do.

Geeze, I just pre-ordered. Resident Evil 5:AC. But I guess should've known better due to the lack of presence at CES such a bummer, but oh well. Guess I'll cancel it and hope the price of the game drops by the time the PMC does

I wonder if you can use a Wiimote or Sphere with Natal. I mean if it recognizes all objects.......

As a Wii/PS3 owner, this is very disappointing. I love the Wii motion controls for FPS, but I am obviously missing out on the FPS' on Playstation. I am hoping the PS3 motion controller will be able to be retro fitted to previous FPS'. If this released in the Spring I could use $ and GC from Christmas to buy it. With several Wii games I want releasing Q1 and Q2 I would have held off getting them and bought the PS3 MC. Now I might as well get the Wii games. The next Call of Duty should be out Q4 of 2010 and I want to be able to evaluate the Wii version and PS3 version based on MC. I think Sony is setting themselves up for another failure by pushing this back.

Sigh. The controller that was showing promise.

they should make a wrist strap so i dont accidently throw thecontroller into the tv

This is the smarest move Sony has made in a while. Microsoft announced Natal wouldn't be available until holiday 2010, which gave Sony some breathing room. By pushing back their own release date, Sony can polish software or have more properties available at launch. And, why not? There's no need to rush to market if you're competition isn't getting to market before you. I was thinking that Microsoft had an advantage if Sony did release their product early, because they would take whatever features Sony used and try to incorporate any good ideas into their own product. With a release date closer among the two, that's not likely going to happen.

PREDICTION:. new castelvania game will be motion control compatible.

Dern it, I wanted to play the RE5 DLC with the wand this spring. Oh well...

Yawn...

slim controller.. i am not use to this.

If the Wand/Sphere/Arc comes out for the PS3, will we still be able to play games with the regular controller? Or do we HAVE to use the Wand/Sphere/Arc? If we can still play old games with the regular controller, for new games, will all the games still be able to use with normal controller? Because I kinda enjoy my laziness with the controller laying on bed and playing at the same time.
