Renewed Motion Controller design shown at TGS 09

PS3-Sense writes: It was pretty obvious that when the Motion Controller was first shown during E3 2009 it wasn't the final design. But the controller showed during presentations at the Tokyo GameShow 2009 probably is. PS3-Sense compared the two designs, and click the link below to see what the differences are.

Second controller with analogue stick on the way I hope.

renegade5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

I hope . Is difficult to have the ds3 at the same time as i seen in re5 demostration of the motion controller.

DominusRebellis5344d ago

That things looks sort of like a.....

dirthurts5344d ago

That you still had to use the ps3 controller in the left hand...
or at least so far. I know it's still in prototype stage.

shadow27975344d ago

There should only be one controller, and it should have an analogue stick. When using two then you would have two analogue sticks. And that way you're not stuck with a useless nun-chuck on games that don't need it. Owning two would allow you to do multiplayer or single player (like the bow and arrow demo).

You could also do FPS games and other games with one controller. Move with the stick (using your thumb), and turn by turning the controller. You could do co-op 3d games (instead of co-op on rails aka shooting galleries).

That would be the smart thing to do. But, at the very least, there does need to be an analogue peripheral. Holding a D3 and a motion controller is not acceptable. It would be nice if there weren't a ton of accessories for this, so I prefer my original idea. Hopefully Sony will be smart about this.

RememberThe3575344d ago

On stage at TGS they were using both the dualshock in one hand and the motion controller in the other. But I don't think it was confirmed that you will need it to play or if they will have something else to use. Seemed to me that you'll just have to use the dualshoack sometimes.

Aquarius5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

Everyone, I don't care, that says its a dildo are not using their head straight or is a 360 only owner being spiteful. The Wands do not look like a dildo. How ironic, I just called it wands first and foremost. I hope its called that :)

How the hell is the top of the wand i.e. (ORB) shaped like a dildo? Is the tip of a dildo shaped like that? You know a man's...
ANS=NO.

The only thing that needs adjusting now, is to remove that pink filter and change that central button into an analougue stick ( >>>a pop-up one?<<< ) because game development will most likely be put on a halt.

mastiffchild5344d ago

The DS3 looks amateur, isn't comfy, would be too awwgward for kids to use and only has the adcantage of being the cheap option, imo.

If they want this to be successful they'll need something else with an analogue stick I'm afraid as the DS3 isn't going to appeal as the secong controller-why choose to use it as one of a pair when you can use it on it's own in the way it was meant to be used anyway? Ninchick or similar is desperately needed and Sony's comments about this being a cheap option worry me no end and if the DS is their only option I fear all the R&D for their wands will be wasted.

Thing is there's literally loads of different Wii nunchucks made by third party controller designers which cost US peanuts so why haven't Sony knocked smething up to hold the analogue if they wanted one? Would be so easy and the fact they haven't makes me think the DS might be their real anwer to the problem and it makes their MC scheme the least attractive if this is the case-can't believe this is a problem being talked about as it's so obvious this isn't a goer that Sony must be blind if they really think it's the best way-why even show someone using the DS3?

None of this makes any sense and I'd hoped that Sony would've said what they were doing after the press asked about the DS3 thing but they didn't hace much if an answer which makes me think there may not be another one at all. Unbelievable, but with nothing else to show or even mentioned what are we meant to imagine?

danthegardner5344d ago

They should just make a motion controller with 2 shoulder buttons an analog stick and 4 face buttons. If you use 2 of them you could play any other ps3 game. It would be like a dualshock split in two.

whoelse5344d ago

I think the first one looks better.

DaTruth5344d ago

They should put everything that is on the DS3, on the wand. That means there should be one with face buttons and one with D-pad(or face buttons D-pad combination) They should put a trigger on each and a shoulder button. They can drop the D-pad at best OR the shoulder button, but that is the most stripped down it can be.

This is the only way to make it hardcore compatible!

Highwayman5344d ago

Aquarius.

Apparently you haven't seen many dildos, have you?

I'm not fond of it's design, but I am excited as far as the technology goes for this particular motion control system.

DominusRebellis5344d ago

as long as it has good vibration I think it'll get my girlfriend to spend time with me when I game on

beardpapa5344d ago

My friend and I went shopping and we stopped by Brookstone. We both came upon this product

http://www.brookstone.com/c...

Now if you saw it in person, the shape and design of it plus the pink tip looks very very much like a d___o. It even has three vibration settings and is waterproof. Anyway, she bought one for laughs.

WenisWagon5344d ago

I think the pink ball at the end is the part that vibrates.

MEsoJD5344d ago

Yeah they market as a massager but we all know what its intended purpose is.

HolyOrangeCows5344d ago

It NEEDS a control stick for the experiences I want in a motion controlled game.

Electricear5344d ago

because there is a major feature missing, a wrist strap. Far to many TV's, doors, windows, lamps and people got mauled when wii motes slipped out of a sweaty hand. Neither of these designs show wrist straps, thus I have trouble believing they are the final design, but it does look like the newer design is closer to a production model.

bobdog6265343d ago

And you guy's know it .Sony don't put this Thing out until you get it Right.Put all your Best people on this and make it work.This is not the Best you can do.PS3 Slim should show you guys the Right way to do thing's this gen not this.

f7897905343d ago

Looks like some exotic vibrator.

YogiBear5343d ago

I think they should do away with the motion control project completely.

The shorter one looks a lot better then the "finalised" version. It even had a smaller sphere!

The new one looks better shaped.

Doesn't matter. It still looks like a dildo.

Foxgod5344d ago

O yeah, surely doesnt look like a dildo anymore -_-

I remember all the people on n4g screaming, ITS ONLY A PROTOTYPE.
No more prototype, and still a dildo.

At least Natal is awesome, cuz you are the controller, instead of having a dildo peripheral.

XxBarretxX5344d ago

i am not a fanboy as i own both consoles but natal is pure casual. No buttons to switch things such as grenades or anytihng as well as some terrible lag as shown in the latest videos. Sorry but Natal will fail

Foxgod5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

If it will, it still wont fail as hard as the sony dildo.
Cuz at least Natal got people like Kojima backing it.

You dont see Kojima talking how bad he wants to get his hands on the sony dildo.

Panthers5344d ago

They will both fail. Both are trying to play catch up to the Wii which is dumb. If I want motion control, I will get the Wii, which I dont.

Foxgod5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

The wii doesnt have kojima ;)

Or Peter Molyneux

Natal got the masterminds backing it.
So if theres any system that got a chance for success, then its the system that got the great minds backing it.

@below
Kojima and Molyneux are not responsible for RROD you know....
They are responsible for games.
So plz come with something relevant next time, youre just trowing random rambling my way.

And youre tired of the sexual references?
Then send an angry letter to Sony, they designed it like that, its design is massive fail.
And if you cant draw a line between the wand and a dildo, then you must be the most asexual gamer ever.

Serg5344d ago

What's your sudden obsession with Kojima? He was all over the Wii before it came out, was so eager to make a game for it, nothing happened to this day. So, how exactly is he backing it? By saying he likes it?

Molyneux is a moron, he disappoints everytime he opens his mouth. He puts out decent games but tries to sell them as gods gift to gamers. Black and White was disappointing, not because it sucked, but because it didn't deliver half the stuff Molyneux has promised. The first Fable sucked bad, but Mr Molyneux said it was the best RPG ever! It couldn't hold a candle to the Gothic series. No open world, the moral choice system was incomplete, some Monsters could keep you on the ground until you die, no chance to get up. It was an avarage game, but not that god sent holy grail of RPG goodness he promised. And he just can't shut his mouth, "Milo is like a real boy", yeah right Mr Overpromise, I believe you now, after countless lies I truly feel you got it right this time.

Foliage5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

With Natal YOU are the dildo. You are a dildo without a cause, since the only time an xbot will ever get near a vagina in their lives was when they dropped out of their mom.

Veneno5344d ago

Seems to know all about the dildos. Does it look like the one in your dresser drawer, foxgod?

Microsoft_Spokesman5344d ago

Foxgod is just excited to rape Milo.

Erotic Sheep5343d ago (Edited 5343d ago )

Oh ok Foxgod, so you've been claiming for ages how MGS4 sucks and how its just a movie. But now that Kojima is working for Natal, you suddenly praise him?

GTFO NOOB

Are you anticipating Gay Tony's release Foxgod?

Panthers5344d ago

I havent kept up with this, but why is there a ball on it? It looks so dumb.

somedude58925344d ago

The ball is part of the sensor to track your hand's movement if I remember right. But yea it dose look kinda dumb.

Sunny_D5344d ago

In the developer's video, It was talking about how the ball changes color to indicate the target on screen. For example, If the target was red, the ball would light up red indicating attack the red enemy. If the enemy is green, the ball would light up green to indicate attacking green.

spectyre5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

but I guess that is what is tracked by the PSEye. Accelerometers and gyroscopes will be used to determine how the controller is turned and moved but the ball is used to determine where the controller is located in a 3d space.
The color changing led's are just an added bonus.

As I said, it looks kind of dumb, but it is the main reason the controller is as accurate as it is, so I guess I will live with it.

DaTruth5344d ago

Who cares what it looks like???

Are you taking it to the club?

Just let it play right!

kwyjibo5343d ago

The ball is there so the camera has a focus point to detect depth. Knowing that the ball is a constant size allows the machine to calculate how far away it is from the camera.

Yep, really dose look like a dildo. I will be getting one for my GF when is comes out. This is going to be better than the Wii-Brator!

Chubear5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

If that's the kind of gifts you get your "GF" then I truly feel sorry for her being with you... but then again, she's with you so she probably deserves all she gets.

somedude58925344d ago

lol... I'm kidding really. That would be messed up if I did that. I would feel sorry for her too. haha :P

SeanScythe5344d ago

But if she asked you for one I bet you would be more then happy to get it for her.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
