PS3 'Motion Controller'; go on, name it!

From PS3 Attitude: "The recent showing of the Motion Controller at TGS, and the subsequent PR pieces that came flooding through to Attitude Towers, make one thing very clear to us.

Sony don't have an official name for the glowy wand right now.

So go ahead, give the stick a name, and we'll send all the most popular suggestions direct to Sony…"

Enter your suggestions after the jump...

[imnotgoodtenglish]

I go ahead at name it fullaxis.

[hay]

I call it Harry Potter's Dildo. I don't think they'll like it :D

You know, Harry Potter trademark etc... :>

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

How about the Sony MoCo

[-x.Red.x-]

PS Wand
OR
PS Motion

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

Natal Destroyer?

[FiftyFourPointTwo]

MotionPlay?
MotionShock?
WaveControl?
PlayAxis?

[SnuggleBandit]

PMC

[SupaPlaya]

the first thing that came to my mine was a dildo too...

PSD - Playstation Dildo, works with BD live to bring you the best porn expericne. Only on PS3. PS3, it only does everything.

Just kidding...

I like PS Wand. Simple and straight to the point.
May be PSMouse? It can probably be used as a mouse to browse.

[Raf1k1]

The OPs 'fullaxis' seems pretty appropriate since the PS3 controller has sixaxis and it detects movement in any direction.

[locos85]

That wouldn't be good. In Spanish "MoCo" means booger...

[rockleex]

"Welcome To The Dark Side"

Or

"May The Force Be With You"

Or

"Use the Foooooo...ork?"

[xc7x]

PS Wand
or
PMC

my only other choice would be something odd like -GLOW-

[night_wing]

I agree flow motion is ok but I have better

[RealityCheck]

What about Playstation Motion System, or PMS for short, oh wait...

[Redempteur]

i do think that fullaxis is not a bad name ...

[HolyOrangeCows]

So I go with the Sony Sex Toy, with on-rail games.

[Redempteur]

you can use it with the controller ( six axis) too .
Like how they showed RE5 with it ...

[Milky]

Sony Flowmotion?

[DolphGB]

To click through to the story and leave your suggestions in the poll - we'll take the best direct to Sony...

[Miss Goblin]

FlowMotion...I like that.

[morganfell]

I have to agree. best name so far.

[dalibor]

I wouldn't mind gaming on a Flowmotion. Great name.

[Satyricon]

[militant07]

PLAYSTATION BALLS :p

/joke

[dalibor]

How about:
"Eyewand"
"Slider"
"Xross Motion"
"Matrix"
Last one is "REcreate"
Got one more "Hang 'Em High"

[majiesto]

The PS Hand, after all, it works in conjunction with the PS Eye.

[ravinash]

What about 'The Finger'.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[DolphGB]

Someone did actually suggest the Sony Finger... :)

[majiesto]

"You know, they call 'em fingers, but I never see them fing... Oh, there they go"

[whothedog]

Sony's "Kinetic Controller" is what I got

[TheBand1t]

I voted "Sony Diode."

[PtRoLLFacE]

Sony DualDiode

[FiftyFourPointTwo]

Natal-destroyer
@below
I know. :)
Just for the lulz.

[IDetonation]

Hahahaha.
Good one.
Not happening.

I guess i sounded kinda biased there. ^^^
No one really knows the outcomes of these.
The Wand could destroy Natal for all we know.

@below

Actually i just roam from article to article.
No preference involved.
And btw, i do own a Ps3 so yes, i like to see what they have coming.

[dustgavin]

I see you are bored with the 360 articles and wanted to see what PS3 has to offer. Nice. ;)

[THE-JAGON]

the Motion Sphere !!!

[Kill Crow]

with ice-cream scoop attachment

[terd]

wouldnt sixsense or somethn like dat make sense cuz d 1st version was called sixaxis.

[IDetonation]

Im surprised 360 fanboys arent being childish on this one. :P

Ummm.
'The Sony Imagine'?
:P

[shiner]

Perhaps it's not the 360 fanboys who are the childish ones.

Anyway, I'll call it "The SDF Mace of Fanboy Fury"

[Sangria]

I've read on another article "E-motion" controller which is actually quite good. My only hope is that along the dildo controller, Sony plan to release with that a motion control analog stick, just like what nunchuk is to wiimote. I don't sere how you would move a character otherwise.

[RealityCheck]

E-Motion...wouldn't take long to be shortened to: the Emo controller

[Tee7soo]

CHUCK NORRIS ..

[JayAllard]

How about the Waggle II, right, guys? :D

Stick with NATAL.. It's going to *revolutionize* gaming with full body controls.

-J

[rockleex]

Simply because it tracks in 3D instead of 2D. But that's about it.

Like the Eyetoy, its VERY inaccurate. It would work well for casual experiences, but not for hardcore games. One of the best examples why Natal wouldn't work well for hardcore games is the racing demonstration they did with Burnout.

You can only gas it all the way, or brake all the way.

Why? Because Natal is not accurate enough to detect how far you are pushing the pedal. It requires large movements to be detected. Even when it detects subtle movements, the movements are exaggerated through Natal because Natal can not accurately track it.

All these inconsistencies within Natal will cause a lot of problems for games that require accuracy, consistency, and precise timing.

For now, Natal will just be "Fullbody Waggle."

On the other hand, Nintendo and Sony are now going for accuracy, precision, and consistency. That obviously means MUCH less waggle and more hardcore experiences.

[Blacksand1]

How about the Sony P3 Lightsaber.

The next gen Xbox and Natal Killer.

Sony the force will be with you. LOL

[kaz-hirai]

Well its better than Failtal ;-D !!!

[IDetonation]

Well dont you look familiar, Sir Ken_Kutaragi.

[sxpacks]

SixthSense - Because SixSense is a different company
FullAxis - Play off the Six Axis
DualShock 4 - It still shakes so this would make sense
LiteAxis - Giant bulb on the top
Torch - Giant torch on top. Fire good?
Playstation Eye Controller - It needs the PS eye
EyeAxis - Needs the Eye

Also here's an old link to a mockup
Controller is a little short, but the button layout is MUCH better!

http://www.artbistro.com/al...

And my CRUDE mockup below Analog stick below the slightly raised buttons. Bad for people with short thumbs.

[Briefcase Joe]

I like the PS Hand suggestion. In order to play the games you need Hand/Eye coordination.

[Sonny30]

Sony Freedom Controller

[Epidemic]

thats easy, light bulb on a vibrator the Sony "Bulbrator"

[Gabe EatsWell]

Fail.

[Foliage]

As an xbot, he knows no other way than that of the FAIL.

[hektop]

Dr Feelgood

[hektop]

the one ball wand

[Blacksand1]

No natal for me how you going to pause if you got to go to the

bathroom. if you have a baby and it's start crying what you going to

wag your arms like a monkey and do jump and jacks over there and hope

the camara see. I'm black can it see color people now, I see problem

in the future for natal it need to do alot more then just tee-bagging

someone on Halo if that's what they getting it for that's sad. I will

stick with the Sony P3 Lightsaber.

[HDgamer]

The child beater

[saint_john_paul_ii]

ok Off topic:

But That RE5 MoCo Demo has me pretty startled. having no analog stick on that is an epic fail.

[Aquarius]

Simple. Thats what everyone was referring it to anyway.

[night_wing]

Sony Voodoo

[night_wing]

Sony strobe

[night_wing]

My peronal fav...

Sony Motion Sabre(saber)

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

As I have already said before Sony have already named it the Sony MotionSENSE but the word 'controller' isn't part of the name but 'controller' will most likely be on the package, Sony have yet to publicise the name and from the info I have Sony MotionSENSE is the actual name of the controller.

However there's 2 names for the controller: PlayStation MotionSENSE & just Sony MotionSENSE without the 'PlayStation' part but obviously one of these have been chosen unless it's been changed but the last time I checked Sony MotionSENSE is what it was.

[CobraKai]

They should call it the Playstation 4.

Why not? Nintendo did it with the Gamecube. Put new controllers and you got a new system.

[slave2Dcontroller]

To stay in conjunction with the PS3 tech. Make the handle black and the orb Blue and BAM! the Blu Orb addition fits the PS3 like a glove.

[zealcore]

...calling it a MoJo?

[Silent]

It only does everything :)

[Figboy]

Playstation
Playstation 2
Playstation 3
Playstation Portable
PSP Go
Playstation HOME
PSP ROOM

i think the controller should be called "Playstation MOTION."

they're all about branding all their products with the Playstation moniker, so it makes sense to me.

Playstation MOTION designates it as tied to the Playstation family, and it informs the consumer that it's also capable of some sort of motion (further consumer research, or the back of the box would detal what that motion is; motion controls).

i like the idea of EyePet incorporating the motion controls. it seems like a good fit for that game.

[chadwarden]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[KeiZka]

... Will its looks remain that way?

[ShAkKa]

Magic wand
Wand-erful

[TheAnswer0371086]

PlayMotion

like PlayStation, except its not a "station" ,its a "motion" controller that allows you to Play games...thus, PlayMotion...consistent with their product name PlayStation

[Isaahc]

PS-TIFF

idk something like that

[NabsterX]

The Motion Axis

[Ps_alm3k]

"Stick It in Me" !!!!!?????

u know ahahahahah!!!!

* walks back into the closet *

[cmrbe]

or PS magic wand is till the best.

Remember that this will be for casuals as well so something simple and catch and easy to understand is needed.

PS wand "Magic in your hands".

[night_wing]

Ok think about it...PlayStation MotionSabre.

Everyone seems to want "Motion" in there. Plus just look at the pics of it, it reminds you of a black light saber. Right?! Yeah I know. I mean its built that way minus the glowing "motion" capturing ball. Now be honest, how many of you at one point or another wanted to be the bad @ss with the glowing light saber?! Should be most of y'all, if not all. Well Sony there you have it a very good reason to market it as the PlayStations own MotionSabre, everyone will want it. Just picture Sonys next commercial, the rep using jedi mind tricks to get you to purchase a PlayStation MotionSabre. And when those sword games that utilize the motion controller do arrive & the glowing effect starts kicking in with the vibrating an all you'll know exactly why it has the MotionSabre namesake.

[djfullshred]

The GOYCYF

(get off your couch, you fatass)

[zealcore]

MoCo or MoCon sounds also tight!

[RedSkysAtNight]

I think it should be name the "Playstation Sense-ation".

[Aguro]

It's got a big purple bulb on the end and looks all manly.
