Rumour: Newton motion controller finally confirmed? - Prototype pic.

XboxOZ360:

Shhhh . . . In a recent IGN video clip Ken Lobb (Creative director of Microsoft game studios) showed the world game play footage of the latest Banjo- Kazooie installment. With all this talk about a motion controller coming to the Xbox 360, could it actually be happening? Apparently so!

[Superfragilistic]

This has got to be the worst kept secret in the industry. Is this deliberate? Are MS trying to mislead everyone for a bigger surprise? Or is this just the case of bucket with too many holes to plug?

Either way E3 should just hurry up and get here!

[mesh1]

im a ps3 owner and i am planning on getting a 360 so im not biased at all all i have to say is that i watched the amazing banjoo 3 clips and we all know what he means,to rotate the analog stick on the 360 nothing to do with a newton controller.

[heyheyhey]

MEGALOLZORDS at mesh1

that made my day....LOL

[XboxOZ360]

You will find an UPDATE on the article which include a full view pic of the controller (two piece) and a link to the developer site Motus who are building it. SO to those who said it's a Photoshop mock up, have another look and see what you say now, remembering it is a prototype and will most likely vary by full production time. Many thanks to Gamer4Life for the link btw.

[Milky]

MESH1 just give up, nobody is fooled by your desperation.

[Montrealien]

Man, this pic is old and yeah, worst kept secret on the internet atm, lol

[truth for gamers]

If this is indeed the new controller, I think it's a pretty good concept and a significant improvement over the wiimote.

perfect for saber and sword games, think oblivion and star wars.

[bednet]

Gees, it's not going to be epic games that use that thing...it's gonna be kids games, casual games...that's the whole point of getting this thing out.

Be on the lookout for Halo Kart, Halo Play, Super Smash Spartan, Master Chief's Assault Rifle training.

[gaffyh]

This design (and pics) are very old, I saw them a few months back. The design is too big and ugly, and I don't think this will sell well at all.

[RememberThe357]

What the hell did you just say?

[skimming]

Please, Please, Please...

An realistic golf simulation with HD graphics (1080 at 60fps) and 5.1 Audio (nature sounds like ocean, wind, birds, audience, etc) using the two handed waggle controller with true force feedback + wack noise from the controller. Or how about attach a real weighted golf club and perhaps even string attached weighted balls?

Simulate slice, hook, fade, push etc etc with the waggle. None of the idiotic strength meters, please. I can't stand the Wii Sports version, the lame graphics and the even lamer strength meter really turned me off. I'm assuming that MS version of the waggle would be a lot of sensitive and accurate than the Wii version, due to tech advancements and attachable nature of the controller.

WOW.

How about multiplayer with your frat buds over Live with chatting and vision camera support on the links; tournaments anyone? I can see golf addicts (like I used to be) paying hand over fist for something like this.

My price would be $250 if there's enough realism. Endless DLC opportunities (golfing in warzone with automatic weapons?). As cheapest golf outing costs min of $50 (also too easy to spend 100), this would be a steal.

[andyo13]

wev taken a full circle back to stick waggling with the joystick

[Silogon]

Pretty underwhelming. I expected better from Microsoft and Sony, and I say Sony cause you know they will follow the absurd trend too.

In the end, this won't go well for Microsoft. The controller looks like a vibrator and it isn't really attached to anything of merit right now. The wii is the controller. This, it's a supplement. One that will be forgotten about more than likely.

I know I won't buy one.

[XboxOZ360]

Again, this IS a PROTOTYPE, not a finished item. The two rarely look the same in any business development. What we see sitting on the shelves come the end of the year will NOT be what we see here now.

[AngryBot]

MSs newton looks pretty subpar.

[Ali_The_Brit]

follow the trend? are you on crack? the sixaxis has always had motion controls built in from day 1 of the PS3 so sony can never be accused of copying or following a trend when the idea has always been there,anything more they released would just be adding to it

[Montrealien]

angrybot on account numer 52, cute.

And ali, the same could be said about MS, Freestyle Pro is 10 years ago. but I don't care, the more the merrier, they are all fun.

[gunnerheadboy]

This contrller looks like a dildo.

[juuken]

Lulz, dildo.

[XboxOZ360]

More like a bucket with way too many holes mate.

Too many people discussing the same thing under different roofs, so little control in who says what and where and when.

Plus it's an ideal way to turn up heat on a topic and make it topical within the gaming industry at large. What better way to "leak" things out. It's a common practice to "leak" information out through "reliable sources" so that it gains some credibility, and at the same time, creates a great deal of discussion and speculation, not to mention heated debate (read fan flame wars).

Both of which 'drive' the internet at its core.

[Montrealien]

yeah, leaking is cheaper then any marketing campaign.

[heyheyhey]

jeez they could of at least tried and make their controller look different from the wii-mote

@below

ok fair point- i realize that this is a prototype

but mind if i quote you and then we'll see what the finished product looks like?

[XboxOZ360]

Prototypes generally do not look like the finished item.

God, you should have seen the final 10 Xbox360 prototypes - shudder.

So the real one will probably bear some resemblance to this, in some ways, but the nature of prototypes is to disguise the actual final product. Ever notice how a prototype car never looks the same as the one that roles off the production line.

Many aspects have to be taken into consideration once the "basic' idea is concreted. The whole ease of production, mouldings, components then are taken into consideration, and from that, a final production model is come up with. That then has moulds and dies made from it for the casings and the internals, which are then made to fit.

So it's not a what-you-see-is-what-you-get thing with prototypes. But hey, try telling those basic steps to any fanboys and you might was well bang your head on a concrete wall, you'll get a better response from the wall. hehehe

[InMyOpinion]

At least they didn't recycle their controller design from last gen, like one other company did.

[pwnsause]

Jenzo, people wanted that controller Recycled, it is one of the best controllers that has been around for over 10 years already, just put it in your think skull, there must be a reason why it has been around for more than 10 years.

[truth for gamers]

it doesnt look anything like the wiimote, this is round the wiimote is rectangular

[supahbad]

cuz their's wasn't a piece of giant crap

[CrashSharc]

@ jenzo

if it's already perfected, why change it? Seems like the other companies are still trying to find out the right formula for a great controller. They'll get it eventually.

[cool8]

only becouse its the best controller ever invented!

[Zeevious]

A large firm will have their own Rapid Prototyping hardware and easily run 100 variations of designs just for testing. (think of a Star Trek replicator, but it takes more than a few seconds...hours depending on the size & materials chosen: SLS, SLA, FDM, PolyJet, EBM, alloys, etc.)

You're just seeing one of those tests. The Wii's proven it's formula or it wouldn't be first in sales.

Sony's Controller?
The comments about the Sony controller are wrong...

Sure, you got the best PS3 controller from the past 10 years but missed out on the best controller for PS3 gaming.

Yes, the "ugly boomerang" controller. Most Sony gamers hated it, without even trying it or more importantly realizing WHY it was shaped so uniquely.

Think about it as a controller designed for not only motion feedback, but to be as versatile & simultaneously comfortable as possible.

That's a pretty large order and after tons of RP model tests the controller's form followed it's function, not the reverse. (The ones shown publicly where not at final scale)
http://www.joystiq.com/2005...

Imagine holding the controller vertically, by the arced-extensions...It's a steering wheel.
Hold it horizontally: You're hang gliding or flying a plane.
Hold the grips with one hand in front of the other: You're firing a machine gun.
Notice the carefully sculpted space between the analog sticks...for your thumb, with the PS button moved up so you can still tap Select-PS-Start: You're bowling, throwing a ball or any number of other unique ways to use the controller.

So the PS3 does have the best controller from the past 10 years, but not the best one for the next 10...ugly or not.

As far as prototypes, I'm looking to see what both MicroSoft & Sony have to show for their innovation in motion at E3.

Oh yeah, did I mention that unlike needing the wriststrap on the Wiimote, if you happened to drop or throw that PS3 controller, it would just fling around and come right back?

;)

Seeya' at E3.

[Godem]

I hope this is not true, I liked how the 360 was the console that PREVENTED Muscle development... lol

[XboxOZ360]

Ahhhh this is what I love about the net . no one reads, just looks at pics (no offense meant mate).

The Newton aka The Darwin Project, is only for certain games within the xbox360 and XBLA system. Games such as the new Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts-N-Bolts, and a few others under development right now which will be aimed at "social gaming" not HARDCORE gamers.

Aimed at "families, fun party games and social gathering style gaming. NOT the FPS, RTS, MMO etc etc etc.

[dhammalama]

"I think you could do things with a built-in camera or a little motion sensitivity. You look at the Wii controller with less buttons - they added functionality by doing waggle. Not a lot of games use the waggle well, but Super Mario Galaxy for example uses it perfectly. Zak and Wiki uses it rather well,"

Coincidence? I think not

[Psynapt1k]

I reckon, Sony will also launch their control soon, it all seems too suspicious and logical that Star Wars The Force Unleashed will be launched at the end of the year....and probably make use of the "new" controlers as lightsabers....

[XboxOZ360]

You're probably closer to the money than you think you are mate.

The game has been pushed back, yet it's well into its dev cycle and could well come out much sooner, if they did some burning of midnight oil.

But, in order for say MS to take advantage of it (the games use of sabers etc), they could be looking at the delay (brought about by internal pressure and the hint of greater overall sales) as a way to introduce the Newton along side both Banjoo-Kazooie and SW:FU as well as one other game that could take advantage of it.

It would make sense to do that and help the publishers of the game, as well as the companies making the accessory, as the two (game and accessory) would sell as a bundled item, increasing overall unit sales, as WELL as SKU sales of consoles . . make sense now doesn't it.

[Godem]

yeah i know its for only a certain amount of games, but they are games I want to play, and that makes it bad to me.

[Godem]

My worst experience is playing through Metroid Prime 3, on the Wii, after about 1.5 hours of playing my right arm was just dead, in pain and I was forced to stop.

Its this that I dont like, and if motion controls are the way of the future, i hope companies give support to injured people, amputees, RSI, injured etc. As if it all moves that direction, they may have to just give up on games, and live on Super Nintendo games for the rest of their life.

Thats why i hope the 360 does not get it, as that means there is hope that motion is not the way of the future, and that we can enjoy games the way they always have been

[XboxOZ360]

I think you'll find it will work with 'some' games but definitely not with high use games as you mention. They simply wouldn't work over extended time periods.

The 360 controller is perfectly designed for long periods at a game without any RSI or muscle fatigue. This will simply be aimed at a "different audience" than the hardcore or even medium range gamer. It will be aimed at the family and social (read party) style games where everything is in short period and lots of activity happening.

SO I doubt you'll see it being included in say the next Ninja Gaiden 3 or Street Fighter etc.

[elitewh0re]

" i hope companies give support to injured people, amputees "

amputees? are you for real, i mean no disrespect to them, but i'm pretty sure it would be harder using a pad with 12 buttons then something they can swing around...

[pow3r of t3h c3ll]

is a much better design than this as you can actually use it as a traditional controller as well as a gimmick controller meaning casuals and hardcores only need to spend money on 1 controller whereas M$ make 2 completely different controllers forcing consumers to buy 2 controllers so they can make yet more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$, but this is M$ after all so we should have expected that!

[iMad]

Like Sony forced ppl to buy a controller with rumble.

[XboxOZ360]

You just don't get it, do you.

This is simply a controller for casual, family orientated party games. Not a TV controller come remote,come motion sensor device.

The PS3 has the normal sixaxis, then it MAKES you buy what they should supply free, the rumble Sixaxis, and then just like MS, offer a TV remote at and EXTRA charge as well, not free with the console.

Stop being a fanboy and look past your blinkers and see what the industry is doing and you might just learn something. Both MS and Sony have vested interests in making components as accessories. They will both come out with a motion sensor device, they will both have separate controller pads, they will both have TV multimedia remotes and they will both have various forms of input devices. Get over it.

Oh, and btw, Of course Sony don't want to make a profit, so they just give you everything for free, as they are already $US3 billion in debt due to the PS3, and MS is in it's second quarter of profits on the 360 . .

Which DOES NOT make MS better than Sony, it just points out the basic facts that both companies MUST make a profit in order to survive. You bought a PS3 didn't you, enough said. You're supporting them by buying games and periferrals right, again, enough said. Get the point.

[kewlkat007]

With the support the Wii may be getting wi th games that could only be played on that console, Developers will turn their heads looking at the Xbox 360 with "HD" gleaming in their eyes. I guess what's not possible technically speaking on the Wii could be on the Xbox 360. Makes me think..what will Sony do?

Nintendo def has a certain market/niche to itself that MS is somewhat lacking, since it's Brand name is just not as strong as Nintendo and Sony per say. We say they need more 1st-party studios, well this could open the door + more. I still think they need more studios. Regardless.

Anyhow this makes me more excited about MS this E3, because this could open the hole for plenty new games and such. Like I said If True. If it is True, then this thing must be functional, none of that half-assed sh^t.

[InMyOpinion]

Sony will probably announce and show off alot of new stuff...that won't be available until 2012.

[Kyur4ThePain]

This is a thread discussing the Xbox 360 and its new controller.
That's your second post, and in both YOU bring up Sony. What's the deal? Aren't you thge one always preaching about the "Sony fanboys" doing that? Let's keep it on topic, shall we?

It really seems as though MS dismissed the opportunities that motion controls bring too early this gen. But it seems they've finally seen the light and agreed that it is, indeed, not just a gimmick.
Welcome.

[Godem]

gah maybe, i still don't like the idea, Let sony and nintendo have that war.

[Citizen Cook]

I love M$, but if i wanted to play games by waving my arms around i'd buy a Wii. I don't. So i buy 5 360's.

[n00bzRtehgey]

lol. don't be a dumbass. this could be fun. the new banjo game looks awesome. this would be perfect for it.

wii is kinda fun. it;s just the game suck ass and have sh1t SD graphics. i own a wii. i know.

[RedVsBlue]

I hope we still have the option to use the regular controllers because if Microsoft tries forcing this new controller on people that does not like it like they are doing with Vista then people will simply not buy it

[XboxOZ360]

Do you read posts, or just post your thoughts.

The newton is aimed at party games, socially gathering style games for the casual gamers. NOT the games requiring normal controller use.

The 360's current controller pad is and will be the controller of choice for many gamers around the world for serious games, but this will open a door that Ms and even Sony need to get into if they wish to survive. And with Sony being $US3 billion behind the eight ball, you can bet they will be looking seriously at something very very similar.

[leeeeed]

Force it on people? Mmmk - let's all remember that this is an accessory - not a change in format :P

[ilkercruiser]

Rumor of a Comfirmation!!!
Hahahahaha!
What a f00l thing

[XboxOZ360]

Try looking at the article again, there's a new pic with a link straight to Motus's home site with a blow up of the prototype controller. Not so rumour any more eh . . .

[Mr PS3]

Were you can Stick this controller

Oh what the Hell
I cant hold back !!!

The New Xbox controller looks like a Dildo !!!!!!
Shove it up yer Ass Bots

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

[iMad]

Because i had Wii for a mounth and with XBOX 360 level of GFX it will be very fun to play party games.

[You bought an Xbox]

You Bought a Wii and an Xbox

Ha Ha

You would buy the new cotroller

Ha Ha

Well i hope it Vibrate's for ya

Ha Ha

Strap it on Xbot

Ha Ha

[Shane Kim]

iMad you must be too stupid to understand. We over at MS don't make party games, we only like shooters.

[PwnShop]

Now all we need is that break apart controller

[Immortal Kaim]

Though the original 360 controller will be used for probably 95% of games, I actually really like the thought of motion controls (done well) for a select few titles. Banjo would be a great game to launch this new controller.

[ElementX]

Well, I for one, don't care if it looks like a wii-mote, as long as it's more accurate. If you think about it, the wii-mote is only a narrow TV remote shape. It's what people are comfortable with and it's easy to hold in your hand. I didn't expect it to look much different.

[Sitdown]

If this indeed is true...then I think for major titles that the controller works with.....Microsoft should eat the cost of the controller and have it packaged with the game. Outside of that.....my only other concern is that Wii has done a great job of staying a live with in-house/1st party games.........and I am not sure what Microsoft Gaming Studio has up their sleeves to keep it going.

[McErono]

best thing about it? the PS3 X button on the black version. ROFL!

http://www.motusgames.com/p...

this is all nonsense. motus is trying to make these things (only mockups, empty plastic cases) for PC and for consoles.

[XboxOZ360]

Yes they are, and they HAVE been in deeper discussions with MS and the new projects name is Darwin, which relates to the MS controller, NOT The PS3 one. do do some more research. Xbox360World did their homework on it around 3 weeks ago or thereabouts, and had discussions with Motus re Darwin Project which they confirmed was being designed with MS's help.

This IS has items are designed and made, through MOCK-UPS and prototypes. God, sometimes I think many just believe items appear out of heaven and fall to the earth and land in shop shelves.

Do any of you know the process of design and construction then through to final product.

Having designed and built items for overseas shipping and use before, I can tell you the process is along drawn out one and the product goes through many changes before it is finished. Of course Motus are working with cases to begin with dahh, they don't build the components then build a controller around those components.

They come up with an acceptable shape and design, then the major company looks at how the internals might work, it's then refined and reshaped again, the more intricate items are then taken into consideration such as major internal components, then a final external shell is designed on based on the final internal designed, which was designed around the initial IDEA.

[McErono]

short pls: you think this thing is the "BIG Microsoft surprise" on the E3 that Goosen mentioned? very big surprise if any details are spoiled on the motus site... no way... that thing is so wrong designed that MS has nothing to do with it or they are gone crazy.

edit; didn't see that you are the provider of this news. all clear rofl...

[Godem]

-I dont think my TV has room for 2 sensor bars...

[McErono]

doesn't need any sensorbar ;-)

[Sphinx]

I hope they come in assorted colors!

[Testo]

I hope they make it more accurate then the Wiimote!

[Hoggy1983]

If true! I think its a great move for Microsoft and one which I'm sure Sony is taking an advanced interest in as well.

[kewlkat007]

he is about to go thunder, Thunder, ThunderCats Hoooooo!!! and maybe some light saber action....interesting.

[Bladestar]

super fake... you can tell on the DPad which happens to be a trademark of Nintendo... the design of this control would be an obvious infringement... This is also goes against what they were saying about the 3D dash... I think if anything the new controller will not be shaped this way...

[dkgshiz]

Motion controls are just not ready this gen. Their to unresponsive, and just suck. Main reason I hate the Wii. I hate when companies notice something is selling very good, that would be the Wii. Than they just run to make almost the exact same thing because they think people will just start to buy it like crazy. If Sony comes out with a new motion controller, I wont be buying one. I like good old standard ones. Oh, if this pic is real, Microsoft made the most ugly controller ever!

[tojfs7931]

or does that thing bare more than a passing resemblence to a certain uhm, adult object.

[gunnerheadboy]

DILDO!

[firechipmunk]

Under the 6 DOF of link on the motus site. Under the title "how the wii works" they claim that the motion part of the wiimote works through the IR recievers and that if you get two far away then motions can't be picked. hmmm correct me if i'm wrong but the IR receivers is for pointing games not motion detecting. looks like someone didn't didnt do there home work

[Shane Kim]

A dildo? How dare you guys? We tried to make it like a handle of a lightsaber.

[Product]

I wonder how this will work?true the wii remote works through the sensor bar and the wii remote is bluetooth you cant do motion sensor with just bluetooth.So Ms will have to either have a sensor bar or something and then ontop of that will there be a add on kit of software update to enable this?Btw i doubt Ms will make this controller more responsive then nintendos.nintendo had 3 years to make this.the controller being their biggest innovation.Ms only having 1 year doesnt really make me feel like they well be as responsive.

[elitewh0re]

no mean to offend but have you read the link to the motus site? the guys developing the controller have been for 7 years and have developed a 6dof motion sense for the controller, i assume that means full rotation in both the xy axis as well as the z axis, and according to them, is the only controller out at the moment capable of doing so...

quite an interesting read.

[Product]

The sensor bar picks up left right up down.....the wii remote has an image sensor in it which the wii's cpu calculates the distance of the remote to the sensor bar.
The sensor bar needs to be there when using the pointer(up down left right).the remote has the abiility to pick up slow forward backward controls but for fast forward/backward the wii remote uses the accelerometer sensors.

Its pretty complicated lol

although you wouldnt be able to play a shooter without the sensor bar but could in reality play a boxing game since its controlled through the accelerometer(picks up fast motion forward backwards) in the remote not the sensor,but the sensor does pick up slow backwards forwards motion.

[Silent]

Microsoft have no S T Y L E. Whos the designer? Fire him/her. Put some curve into that.

[NanoGeekTech]

I like the whole motion control device idea. If it can be merged with high end graphics and HD audio now that would be innovating.

I really do not like what Nintendo did with the Wii. But if MS o Sony can expand on the concept and merge with next gen technology I am all for it..

[Product]

for ms to beat the accuracy of the wii remote they would need a sensor that can pick up more then 300 signals per second which is where Nintendos sensor bar range is at.

[Isaac]

It looks too much like the Wii, I hope sony's new controller at least has more buttons.

[Hoggy1983]

1) Usage on ported Wii games
2) Usage in upcoming 360 games

and-

to once and for all solve the problem with console based RTS with the Newton performing like a mouse.

[n00bzRtehgey]

holding it vertically like in that second pic is f*cking gay. wtf.

[Vizion26]

What a blatant ripoff of the Wii-mote. Can Microsoft be creative and make their own distinct interface? Why immitate Nintendo after even after they directly and indirectly mocked motion controls?

[Hoggy1983]

Every company rips off each others ideas. People would be naive to think Microsoft were the only company to do so. The positive aspect of this is that improvements and fresh ideas can be implemented, taking the original idea forward.

[Fatmanp]

Could be good but then again it could be an atrocious flop. However i do not think MS will release a tool like this without a few gmaes supporting unlike the PS3 mo sens which is barely supported bar two average games.

[foozen]

... is too use to just poaching businesses and others ideas. Be original M$

About 50% is about the motion control with the Wii the rest is good marketing, low price point and friendly to all the family.

You don't see the Wii motion controller bing used for GOW2 to slice a alien in half? But you will on the XBORK. M$ just doesn't get it.

They want some of Nintendo market share but with a chain saw motion controller on GOW2!!!

[elitewh0re]

"Be original M$" what like nintendo? haha right....
seriously if this really annoys you why are you commenting?

[Solid_Snake]

the controller; if some games would use it, then go for it. Same with SONY. But where are all the fanboys that immediately claim that one company steals ideas from the other? Where are all the fanboys that claim the Wii to be garbage, or a "toy". Its funny how everyone how everyone becomes silent as soon as their console does it. But like i said, if it's fun, done well, and is well integrated, then I don't mind any new innovations at all.

[Product]

ill agree with you there......people on here is are hypocrites.jealous people i suppose and to whoever said something about sony having more buttons..........that would be going against casual.

[Merritt]

I like the videos of Lightsaber swinging in Lego Star Wars 2, and it looks very cool in Tiger Woods 2008. This may have potential afterall, check the videos...

[hjolli]

That pic is really old, i have it on my site dated like 2 months ago or somthing

[hjolli]

btw, its called Darwin not Newton

[Hoggy1983]

Wouldnt Newton make more sense than Darwin? Unless theyre trying to present it as the "evolution" of the Wiimote

[dragunrising]

Reminded me of golf the way it was held. Tiger Woods 09 anyone?

[Old Snake]

Fake

[Eamon]

It will be interesting how long it will take for people to realise that is a fad.

Motion gaming is very appealing to the general public but in reality, this Newton will turn out to be a gimmick just like the Wii.

Don't get me wrong but the Wii has some really neat games like SSB Brawl, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy. But that's it lol.

Also, about the comments saying this is stealing ideas from other game companies; economically and business-wise this is a very good opportunity for Microsoft. Since the Wii was selling like hotcakes since its launch due to its motion gaming eye candy, MS probably thought "Hell like I'm gonna miss out easy cash" and voila.

The Newton Controller.

[leeeeed]

...or does the Newton look like a white lightsabre?

[PoSTedUP]

looks good for fishing games : /

[xxBATTLECATxx]

do any of your really want this? Itll probably be like 50 bucks with like three games that use it. THIS is what you have to show for E3?

[leeeeed]

Then I'd say that an announcement like this for E3 would be completely expected to say the least. I mean, it's not like Nintendo has sold any consoles, right?

There is so much $$$ in casual gaming, it's no wonder Microsoft are pursuing ideas such as this...

[Obama]

With the new dildo 360, you can finally have some fun while your console is being repaired.

[Blackmoses]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!

[Bladestar]

mm sounds like a good idea... because though you Sony leg humpers have huge @$$holes... "having fun" with the suxa$$es PS3 remote does give you a ton of hemorrhoids...

[brothersimon]

I find it funny that droids take time to create dumb accounts and stay on N4G all day posting anti-xbox stuff on every artical... must have no life, no social life at all

poor droids.. :( if only they had something to do in their spare time, e.g play on their ps3 with a decent game instead of watching mgs4, or replaying uncharted.. or rewatching a bluray movie theyve seen 203 times already.

[Obama]

@bladestar - Apparently you are the expert of asshole. :O

@Brothersimon - Said one one with a "ps3 fail" avatar. The irony.

[juuken]

Lmfao!

[brothersimon]

Ohh droid :p

A quick google search, and a quick press of "UPLOAD" around 40 seconds.

You actually taking the time to create an whole account then droid all day on the site = obviously a fat retard american/droid/kid who wears glasses and has a bad case of acne :(

[brothersimon]

HEY DROIDS.....

:D

[juuken]

HI XTURD! *waves*

[Sanhlami]

That thing is fugly!

[Tyrael]

To put it in simple terms:

DO NOT WANT

[Kratos3452]

Sony was the fist one to use motion control, remember the ps2 i-toy? The ps3 is doing a break-apart controller not some stupid remote like the 360 doing a wii rip-off.Sony thinks outside the box.

[power of Green]

The casual market is too big to be ignored.

No company can win without the casual trend consumer masses(PS2 hoged all of them last generation). The only thing that will save the Wii now is the console's brand name. Its the tech that is winning over the casuals, Nintendo must fear its competition doing motion better on a far more advanced multi media platform that will be around the same price.
