Xbox 360 Wii-mote Clone Confirmed? Code Named "Newton"

The blogger who first broke the news of Bungie's separation from Microsoft is now claiming to "confirm" the existence of the motion-sensing controller that is rumored to be in development.

Quote:
"The "Newton" controller's code name is after the physicist Sir Isaac Newton. The internal Microsoft engineering code name is for this controller is "Newton" as in Newtonian Physics relating to gravity, inertia and acceleration. This is not to be confused with the defunct Apple Newton PDA, this is just and internal name, when this controller comes to market it will have a retail name."

can,t see 360 hardcore with a dildo remote, how sad would that be the bragging rights would shift way to ps3.

GunShotEddy5872d ago

What would the PS3 brag about? example: "In your face Xbox, you've added another form of gameplay and versatility. Ya. Take that Xbox. You continue to to adopt new ideas from competitors and innovate."

I guess when you put it that way, you're right. Adding another aspect of gameplay to pull in additional consumers, sell more units, establish a larger userbase, and thus have more games made... is a bad idea. Good call.

leon765872d ago

At GunShotEddy: WTF that you are talking about?????....adopt new ideas????....Innovations????.. ...on xbox360?????.....Ah!, you are talking about RROD!!!!!...Yes that is the only new idea and innovation made by MS!!!!!

If something works imitate the heck out of it

Nevers5872d ago

I wonder about the compatability a controller like this will have with the games already out for the 360. Will it only work for specific "Box-mote" games; or will we be able to use it in games like Dead Rising, Bioshock, Gears...

... kinda makes me wonder if the sequel to Geometry Wars that got rated recently for Aussie-land and leaked might just be the Galaxies version that came out on the Wii.

IdleLeeSiuLung5872d ago

It is common in most industry to copy an existing design and improve on it. In fact most businesses that start with a new "revolutionary" idea tend to die a painful death. Nothing wrong with what MS is doing.

I commend them for copying. Otherwise we get the other criticism "why aren't MS implementing this technology, it has been out for xx number of years!"....

Mike134nl5872d ago

Think wii rip is only a good thing if it is a improvement of the Wii mote which I don't think is the cause.

With a cheaper xb360 arcade compared to an Wii this might actually be a smart move from microsoft

Mr_Bun5872d ago

The wii has two main problems...1>Graphics and 2>Lack of quality games...now take the wii controls + 360 = awesome!

Marty83705872d ago (Edited 5872d ago )

Microsoft should have consantrated on fixing the 360's hardware failure problem. No point in having this when your console is at Microsoft getting fixed most of it's life.

The 360 has a major problem...'RROD'

Rip of Wii Controls + 360 = Pointless!

gnothe15872d ago

can we have just 1 post where somebody isnt puking the RROD out off their A55. this is about a Wii mote type controller an the 360. I bet if it was the PS3 getting a Wii mote style controller you would be all for it!! stop hating HATER!!

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv723d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii3d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast3d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM3d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife3d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit2d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife2d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
