Sony Seeks a Cure for "Wii-envy"

Gotgame writes:

"Sony invested more time developing, and recently tested a new break-apart motion-sensing controller. Each piece would have its own individual accelerometer (you know, that part that made the Wiimote work), and players will be able to use the controller as a single piece, or as two separate pieces."

the wii is a gimmick...i got over after the 1st 3 months.

ChickeyCantor5807d ago (Edited 5807d ago )

I see the Echo hasn't fade out yet...

meepmoopmeep5807d ago

damn, quite the infection the Wii has caused

Pornlord5807d ago

I won't be getting this unless they implement it VERY well in a game I CAN'T miss. Anything they can do with this remote that I would want, can already be done with sixaxis. I just don't buy into this gen's split motion controllers, it's not developed enough yet.

Doppy5807d ago

Use the freakin PlayStation Eye. It does as much as the Wii mote and more. Make a collection of games that come bundled with the eye, for example, all the PlayStation Eye games on PSN need to be put on a Blu Ray disc and sold with the PS Eye. And every 2 - 3 months make about 1/2 a dozen game for the PS Eye and (the tank drawing game is a great example) incorporate the camera in hardcore game for special effects to make true gamers want the benefits of having the camera. (Burnout did a good job with it, but expand beyond that). Make all Eye Toy games compatible with the PS Eye if they aren't all ready. Finally make a slew of game where you can use the camera to take pictures in-game (Afrika would be great to use the camera for so make game like, Prehistorik, Safari, Mountains, Tokyo, New York, Paris, etc...) These simple games will help incorporate millions of casual gamers once the price of the PS3 drops to around $299.

Sony why haven't you hired me yet.

QuackPot5807d ago

If the rumors are true about the Play- & X-motes then this is no gimmick.

Sony & Microsoft are not into gimmicks. If they see something that has real potential then they will implement it.

Obvious.

So enough with this 'gimmick' rhetoric. Tiresome.

cmrbe5807d ago

The examples i have seen is that you can break it apart and use to climb a ladder or throw a grenade. Another cool use is when you run our of bullets you can break it apart and start punching your enemies. Imagine using your fist or holding two swords to attack. Its should be cool.

deeznuts5806d ago

The Wii isn't a gimmick. Just not my cup of tea. My GF gave me hers, it sits there, and i want to play it. Still looking for that game though that will grab me. Going to try resident evil maybe?

theKiller5807d ago

then this idea is welcomed my me and many many more people!

u see sony when do things they do it right and they dont usually copy cat like MS, and if they must copy cat then they add and advance that copied idea!! cant wait till i use DS3 with this new controller

GiantEnemyCrab5807d ago (Edited 5807d ago )

Like MS always do? Everything I've read seem to indicate that the motion controller MS is using is going to be much better than the Wiimote. Even the fact that it will include rumble makes a better in my eyes.

Sony are the biggest copy cats of this gen from their online service to their peripherals.

theKiller5806d ago (Edited 5806d ago )

i will point out the crap things in ur comment and the right things

the right: sony did copy somehow the idea of Live but with home they r taking it to the next level!

the crap: everything else u said!

u see when sony copy they do it better! not pure copy cat like MS!

Pain5806d ago

why else has the Xbox 2 since released been called a "PURE Gaming machine" then , Now its a poor-mans PS3 wannabe.

gunnerheadboy5806d ago

At least our controller wont look like a dildo that Shane kim pulled out of his @ss.

ChickeyCantor5807d ago

Even if Sony manages to get a good motion controller out, they need to work on their marketing. You just dont win an audience simply by creating something.

Anyway success to them.

TheFreak5807d ago

motion-sensing is the future. Omg metoid prime is so fun with the good gameplay it has because of the motion-sensing controlls and I have never been a fan of Metroid prime. If sony can get this right it will kick ass HARD!! hehe

QuackPot5807d ago

Motion control will so awesome for shooters on the Ps3/360.

fast as aiming looking - as fast as mouse.

I just can't understand why critics continue to trash motion control ... or is is just because it was first implemented on the Wii?

epiphany3235807d ago

I think most people (companies) thought Nintendo would come out the same this gen as they did last gen with the gamecube. But now that the wii with motion controls has become such a hit they have to deny the fact that it's what's causing nintendo to kick but and continue to bash the system calling it just a gimmick. But if it was such a gimmick their wouldn't be all sorts of rumors (or fan of other systems) claiming that the other big two systems are getting controllers based on the design of the wiimote.

Silogon5807d ago (Edited 5807d ago )

There is no "wii-envy" on my end. I hate the wii and motion controls and wanna see them die off like Virtual boy, VR and Pokemon. sony, do the right thing and walk your own path. Not Nintendos.

Oh disagrees, how surprising. So you dong bangers don't want sony to do their own thing? Funny.

Max Power5807d ago (Edited 5807d ago )

you may seem all sane right now but i know there is another comment section where you flipped upside down and backwards and spout crap all over the place. so i disagree with you no matter what you say because i don't trust your word.

Edit: i figure i would explain my reasoning for my disagreeing with you, because i hate it when someone disagrees for an apparent to reason.

theKiller5807d ago (Edited 5807d ago )

u r half true, and i think MS is even doing worst than sony and they never made their own thing! only copy the others with their xbox consoles, have u heard of MS wii mote imitator?? i would like to hear ur opinion about that!!

beside all companies uses idea that was created by others if thats suites them but MS copy them exactly without changing them!! MS copies the controller from sony in everything accept the anolog left stick and vibrator etc!

the new sony controller will be an addition to the DS3 not a replacement like wii mote! and will be more advanced than wii mote

Pornlord5807d ago

i agree with you siligon (although my agree/disagree buttons don't work on my company computer). Wii envy hasn't even crossed my mind. I enjoyed Zelda, it was a lot of fun, but games like that are few and far between.

That being said, if Sony does this right (which as much as I love Playstation, I don't think the tech is there yet) it could yeild some amazingly fun games.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

DarXyde4h ago

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast4h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows3h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear212h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
