here's what I got:

hmm

 

[darkwing]

I have access to an official pic but doubt I can post it

tease XD

 

[Sidewinder]

I guess we'll have to go with the "dualshock on the lap", because this Nunchuk looks fugly and tiny

 

[Ashes]

well that them either be prototype designs or we have ourselves some contradicting sources....

 

[Raist]

It doesn't look anywhere close an "official pic". The photoshop job is terrible and the rest is a crap diagram.

 

[Kasra_2x4]

well,I dont what to say about this one

 

[TTP]

At least in terms of button config there's less redundancy in his mockup vs previous ones

Yeah. Should there be X and O?

 

[Haunted]

here's what I got:

is that REAL SIZE?

 

[BruceWayneIII]

is that REAL SIZE?

No, not at all. And we haven't seen a form factor for the Nunchuck either.

 

[darkwing]

is there a confirmed nunchuk?

 

[Vinterbird]

is there a confirmed nunchuk?

Several developers has off the record confirmed that there will be a Wii setup for Arc. Meaning nun-chuck and remote.

 

[Vinci]

I don't understand how to read that picture. My experience with mock-ups is pretty minute so perhaps that's why I'm not reading between the lines. Just looks like a bunch of random shit thrown across a PS3 controller and superduperwonderwand.

 

[Suzzopher]

Nope.

Take a look at this instead.

Here is a ugly paint mock up according to the info given by the Alpha and the Omega :

Just put L1 and L2 on the Nunchuck and a T-trigger on the Arc.

 

[SamBishop]

VG247 didn't say anything about lineup in their rumour. They said date and partner list.

We already got an internal SCE lineup at TGS. Albeit with zero details/info.

If someone has an 'official pic' e.g. a PR pic, it sounds to me like they will sort of more properly announce and show off the thing at GDC. I'd guess we'll see one or two games for it to go with that.

Only one or two?

 

[gofreak]

Only one or two?

Demoed at GDC? I'd guess.

 

[Lonely1]

Perhaps the wireless nunchuck is only for the developers edition.
\pessimist-mode

 

[iceatcs]

Only one or two?

Yeah, I mean it suppose be out in month before delay, I'm sure there should be some missing from TGS list.

 

[TTP]

The teasing in this thread is killing me.

 

[SamBishop]

Demoed at GDC? I'd guess.

Think bigger. Remember, this is basically Gamers' Day for this year unless I'm mistaken; I haven't heard a peep about any big events outside of this until E3, soooo...

 

[Vinci]

The teasing in this thread is killing me.

Really? What teasing? A handful of MS Paint pics and some vague comments?

 

[TTP]

Yep, that's teasing.

 

[Ashes]

iirc they were supposed to have been on the market around now in the original plan... we still don't have an official name, final design reveal or a nunchuck....

 

[TTP]

That's why we are waiting for this year GDC to actually kick off.

 

[gofreak]

I think we'll get those at GDC.

Think bigger. Remember, this is basically Gamers' Day for this year unless I'm mistaken; I haven't heard a peep about any big events outside of this until E3, soooo...

Yeah, but E3 is plenty of time for a Fall launch. Sony's typically only demoed 'a game or two' at GDC and then left E3 for the full monty so to speak, I think it'll be the same here.

 

[SamBishop]

Nothing wrong with playing it safe. But you'll be seeing more than just one or two this year, I promise.

E3 is this year

 

[Arkham]

WHOAAA... Arc?

No, Arc:

 

[Haunted]

No, not at all. And we haven't seen a form factor for the Nunchuck either.

You didn't get the reference.

This game needs to be revived with ARC!

I'd like to see a Metal Gear Solid game but playing as Otacon's various gadgets (like the little robot in MGS4). 3D vision and Arc would be rather realistic in how Otacon actually controls those pesky little things.

 

[lowrider007]

aghhhh man the anticipation is killing me, I really want to see some core apps for the ARC/GEM, I hope Sony come through for us, E3 is far away.

I've got 4 screens up all with various twitters/blogs/forums etc auto refreshing, it's like GDC control central here

 

[SamBishop]

E3 is this year

Sorry, I meant more than one or two at this year's GDC. The presser's a few hours for a reason.

 

[Tom Penny]

This is going to do considerably worse than Natal in the long run. I don't forsee Sony ever bundling it with a PS3 which will be a huge blow to it's attach rate. If they do..well that can change things considerably.

 

[BruceWayneIII]

You didn't get the reference.

:lol well, I don't know you and sometimes there are weird questions floating around.
Care to enlighten me?

 

[Crisis]

:lol well, I don't know you and sometimes there are weird questions floating around.

Here you go.

Also to the asshole in this thread who said he has a picture but isn't going to post it:

You're no different.

 

[Haunted]

:lol well, I don't know you and sometimes there are weird questions floating around.

Don't worry about it. The MSPaint-ness of that "official" pic just reminded me of an old thread with a similarly laughable mockup.

Here you go.

and thank you for sparing me the effort to find it. :lol It's just as good as I remember.

 

[cakefoo]

Awesome mockup! Doesn't make sense having X and O for both Nunchuck and sphere, though.

3 possible uses for the nunchuk:

- as the left hand of a two-handed set
- as a one-handed controller for simple party games
- if the nunchuk can be used for pointing, you could use the nunchuk as the RIGHT hand of a two-handed set. an fps now would have a dedicated analog stick for turning. (correction: you'd need 2 nunchuks, since the standard remote has no analog stick for character movement)

 

[cakefoo]

Old?

Develop-Online.Net: Dev source backs claim of PS3 'nunchuck'

"A games development source has told Develop that Sony's new Motion Controller device will work in tandem with an optional extra Wii Nunchuck-style add-on. Our source says claims that even though the controller's final execution will be 'reminiscent' to the Wii, the familiar elements provide scope for those working on Nintendo's platform to 'upgrade' their ideas to the HD rival PS3."

 

[[Nintex]]

those working on Nintendo's platform

Who are these imaginary people?

 

[Vinci]

Who are these imaginary people?

They're just making the transition easier for when Nintendo goes 3rd party.

[Rainier]

For some reason I suspect this year’s E3 will remind me of this...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

SO, no dual analog confirmed?

Err... really? What's the point of dual analog when the right wand works as right stick.

 

[yurinka]

here's what I got:

I like the PEW PEW button :lol :lol

 

[Dr Frasier Crane]

here's what I got:

Hmmm, not what I saw. I mean the buttons mentioned are broadly right but the shape is just like the Paint art from the other page.

I guess we'll see in either 5 hrs or during GDC.

I would happily put a ban bet on my description being correct. And I don't say that lightly, I love a bit of GAF for breakfast.

 

[Dogenzaka]

Just mocked this up (sorry RockmanWhore ), so something like this? So the nunchuck doesn't have a ball?

It would be incredible if both the nunchuk AND the Arc had a "ball"
That way you could do the the things presented in the tech demo last year with two Arc controllers.

And that way, the controller would be COMPLETELY ambidextrous!

Well, at least this fake mock up is totally ambidextrous.

This is very close. the top of the nunchuk is rounded and not angular but other than it looks spot on.

edit: The nunchuk didnt appear to be quite as contoured as this picture, however I'm trying to base this on a picture I saw on Sunday morning whilst hung over!
