Support NeoGAF

Sony, you're lacking something called ORIGINALITY.

Everything it just showed off at GDC can be done with Natal (which at least can do some unique things) while the actual motion control is basically the same thing that the Wii can do whether its with the standard controls or MotionPlus.

It hurts to watch Sony pretend to be something its not and think that it is providing a superior project when compared to Nintendo and Micosoft's efforts. So far ,the tech demos have failed to impress me... and what's with all of the pre-alpha footage ? Lame.

So basically Sony can do both what MS and Ninty are doing? That's basically a win.
Not to mention that the combination of the two brings additional features.

Say what you want about originality, but playing FPS with this in your hands could potentially be handsex.

Well go ahead and try it, it's been possible 4 years already.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm really surprised there's no motion in the nunchuk.

I mean, it's not a huge deal because throwing grenades is dumb, but strange that it isn't there.

 

[V_Ben]

Slider — Kung-fu action – on an office chair!?!

teh hell :lol

looks like INCREDIBLE CRISIS.

this is a good thing.

 

[TTP]

So they did fix L2!

I noticed that. It bends outwards :lol

good news.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

...except the sphere needs to be exposed at all times, so any attachments to this thing won't work at all.

no? :lol

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The problem, though, is that you make a blanket generalization that "Wii fanboys" are the ones who think this thing looks bad. There have been several people in this thread who seem to be Sony fans that feel the same.

Dude! I never said that "Wii fanboys" are the ones who think this thing looks bad. I was quoting a dude who said alot of Wii owners are insecure right now. Don't direct shit at me when I was just agreeing with him. I was commenting on the comments over at Gamespot and UStream where people were giving thumbs up to every "WII RULES!" comment and thumbs down to "SOCOM ACTUALLY LOOKS FUN!" comment.

Again, the whole world revolves around you and anything and everything said will reflect towards you. Stop being so defensive about someone's opinion...

 

[Kaako]

Goddamit this thread is magnet for trolls isn't it?

Seriously, but shit is so damn hilarious to read. :lol

 

[qwerty2k]

why do people bum microsoft's natal when they've shown nothing tangible of the device working in a proper game?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Naa. That's reserved for wiimote, man!

I don't know man, the Move looks much more comfortable with it's smooth curves, and the Wii looks more painful....er, I think I've said too much...

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Oh boy, I was waiting for a comment like this. Now this thread can really take off.

The debate should begin and end with market viability of peripherals that don't come standard with a system.

 

[TTP]

I'm really surprised there's no motion in the nunchuk.

I mean, it's not a huge deal because throwing grenades is dumb, but strange that it isn't there.

Yeah. Hopefully that this is dirty cheap as a consequence cos apparently wont be coming with the basic bundles as far as I understand.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Well that sucks. It's going to be weird feeling a punch connecting on one hand and not on the other.

The punching game required two Moves, so they'd both have Rumble.

 

[Huggy]

Why does that big button in the middle have so much breathing room? It's not like it expands or anything.

 

[Majine]

Well go ahead and try it, it's been possible 4 years already.

Eh, whatever floats your boat.

 

[Wizpig]

Goddamit this thread is magnet for trolls isn't it?

It's the first time I think it's deserved, honestly.

Our passion should be about innovation, and look what we got here.

 

[dragonflys545]

why do people bum microsoft's natal when they've shown nothing tangible of the device working in a proper game?

They did games on E3... EG: Burnout, that ball game, Milo:lol

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Waaaaaay back after the Wii was announced I remember talking about how it was only a matter of time before Sony co-opted the Wiimote interface, and there were a lot of people who treated the idea mockingly. Never underestimate Sony's ability to pooh-pooh Nintendo's innovations then turn around and shameless imitate them.

 

[gofreak]

Sony, you're lacking something called ORIGINALITY.

I doubt Natal will be as precise as this...

You're missing the point though, it's the combination of things that's unique. A Wii doesn't have a camera, Natal doesn't have a controller with such precision.

Some of the software is absolutely derivative - shocking! - but the tech is, in combination, a different set of tools than is available elsewhere.

 

[chubigans]

no? :lol

Nope, there's no external attachment port as far as I can tell.

 

[Souldriver]

I suddenly see the light. Motion controls are the future!

 

[Elan tedronai]

Slider — Kung-fu action – on an office chair!?!

teh hell :lol

wow :lol :lol

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I don't know man, the Move looks much more comfortable with it's smooth curves, and the Wii looks more painful....er, I think I've said too much...

More pushin' for the cushin'! :lol

 

[Ashes]

they actually fixed L2!

Bingo. New dualshock controllers please. Although I use geo trek triggers myself which work brilliant.

 

[Koren]

...except the sphere needs to be exposed at all times, so any attachments to this thing won't work at all.

You could still expose sphere using a shell, but believe me, it's not needed to expose it for all kind of games.

Especially for rail shooters, you don't need the camera/sphere.

 

[Gattsu25]

Can you direct link to flickr? Guess we'll find out...

Is it odd that I vastly prefer the look of the Wii Sports games compared to these screens?

 

[spwolf]

Say what you want about originality, but playing FPS with this in your hands could potentially be handsex.

fps... and rts... and fighting games... and sports games...

.... all i am concerned with is cost... but then again, it is not like full bundle for Wii controller isnt almost $70, without camera and wireless sub controller.

seems like a sure thing that DS3 will be able to do whatever wireless subcontroler does. Chubigans wins this one ;-)

 

[sullyj]

 

[qwerty2k]

They did games on E3... EG: Burnout, that ball game, Milo:lol

all of which had really bad lag iirc, burnout wasn't a proper use of it in a game tbh, it was tacked on crap.

 

[Hiltz]

So basically Sony can do both what MS and Ninty are doing? That's basically a win.
Not to mention that the combination of the two brings additional features.

The problem is that from what we've seen, Sony's just made a motion control device that doesn't do anything new that we haven't seen before. Sony's strategy is now officially shameless and transparent.

 

[Grooski]

why do people bum microsoft's natal when they've shown nothing tangible of the device working in a proper game?

because what we have seen has been well short of MS's propaganda.

 

[shouamabane]

Why does that big button in the middle have so much breathing room? It's not like it expands or anything.

It's analog.

 

[Man]

The PS Move is pregnant with tech:

- terrestrial magnetic field sensor
- three-axis gyroscope
- three-axis accelerometer
- RGB Sphere (that PS Eye camera reads @ 60-120hz)
- rechargeable Li-ion battery

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Say what you want about originality, but playing FPS with this in your hands could potentially be handsex.

Not really.

why do people bum microsoft's natal when they've shown nothing tangible of the device working in a proper game?

Oh their time shall become. Fuck all motion controllers. I hope they die as fast as they were born.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

So basically Sony can do both what MS and Ninty are doing? That's basically a win.
Not to mention that the combination of the two brings additional features.

Thats the way I see it...

 

[Taurus]

Eh, whatever floats your boat.

Eh, the gameplay and the experience is exactly the same, only differences are on the visual side.

 

[dragonflys545]

Is it odd that I vastly prefer the look of the Wii Sports games compared to these screens?

I actually prefer these over the wii sports games look.

 

[Chittagong]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/10/playstation-move-first-hands-on/

wait, the "home" button is where you place your thumb? ON BOTH?

(getting a Peter Moore Rock Band flashback here)

 

[Pennywise83]

 

[MYE]

So basically Sony shamelessly now has Wii support for their system. Smart move, I guess. It's a nice selling point for families looking to upgrade to HD entertainment. I just hope I never have to hear about it again.

Jesus, some of you guys act like kids :lol

 

[V_Ben]

vanity shot

 

[boiled goose]

Does the move chuck not have motion/tilt sensing?

No wriststrap on it.


Sony developed this wiimote knock off, I would expect it to be better in every single way.

Wireless chuck-----Check
More face buttons Check
Rechargeable Check
Rumble in wand ?
Rumble in Chuck ?
Better or equal pointer ?
Motion/tilt in chuck ?


nice, but unnecessary Extras
Speaker ?
Microphone ?

What else would make it an improvement over the wiimote?



Edit:

Triggers on Chuck = good
Triggers on Wand?

Neither the wand nor the chuck look ergonomic. Any impressions on comfort?

 

[ChuBoi]

Slider — Kung-fu action – on an office chair!?!

teh hell :lol

ok now WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY DEMO THIS? this looks rad as fuck! during one of the montages that chair guy did a sweet ass 50-50 grind on a rail :lol

 

[AndyD]

So a quick summary for someone who missed the event but saw the above pictures?

 

[Souldriver]

Waaaaaay back after the Wii was announced I remember talking about how it was only a matter of time before Sony co-opted the Wiimote interface, and there were a lot of people who treated the idea mockingly. Never underestimate Sony's ability to pooh-pooh Nintendo's innovations then turn around and shameless imitate them.

This pic showed up just hours after the original Wii remote reveal and has stayed popular ever since.

 

[fortified_concept]

Jesus Christ Nintendo fans, get over it. You act like they stole something from you. Instead of listening to them whine can we talk about the fact that Sony is focusing so many resources on this casual crap?

c'mon what did you expect? MS and Nintendo fans are not going to sit by and watch the proceedings without commenting now would they? :lol

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The problem is that from what we've seen, Sony's just made a motion control device that doesn't do anything new that we haven't seen before. It's just a copycat. Sony's shameless.

It uses PSEye.

+1 for more interactive games.
-1 for you and your fanboyism.
