It was accidentally confirmed by the banjo guys

Here is the pic, I think it is legit at least.

And I don't think it will be bundled with any of the consoles, it was made specifically for the Banjo game

when did the banjo guys confirm it?

[Chase]

If true, that's terrible.

The Banjo guys actually denied that a motion controller is going to be used at all. Some Microsoft rep mentioned that you can "twist" stuff around in Banjo and everyone jumped to the conclusion that it was going to use a motion controller.

What the rumored motion controller most likely is, is Motus Games' Darwin controller.

The thing is just a 3rd-party controller that developers would have to accept in order for it to actually work.

[Bretters]

I remember reading an article on maxconsole or joystiq where one of the Banjo devs accidentally mentioned use of the motion controller in an interview, so maybe they just have support for it. I don't care either way, I love my 360 controller. :)

I like that it's a 3rd party controller, there for people that want to use it and not mandatory. Still the darwin allows motion for 360, PS3 and PC and that's really cool.

Whatever happened to the FPS-centric controller they were developing? Did they just cancel it?

[mtdrummer]

if you look in the new "xbox epeirience" trailer on live, it shows someone point a wii shaped wiimote at the screen

Hadn't heard about that before, controller that would allow a level playing ground for cross-platform FPS matches with PC players w/o auto-aim would be awesome though. :applause:

[ryanbph]

there was a fps controller that had a mouse in one hand and about 1/2 controller in the other...you need to put it on something

msft was allegedly working on one as well, maybe next gen...I know splitfish was having issues getting msft to allow it on there system..that was about a year ago so maybe things have changed.

That's not a first-party controller. That's made by a company called "Motus Games". It's called "Darwin", which is obviously a not-too-veiled rip-off of Microsoft's motion controller, code-named "Newton". It's just a cheap knock-off, and it's going to be released for 360, PC, and PS3 at the end of the year.when did the banjo guys confirm it?
They didn't. Bretters has no idea what he's talking about.

[TheEyecon]

i wonder how much succes it will have

[Bretters]

They didn't. Bretters has no idea what he's talking about.

GG? The freaking headline starts with "Rumor." Rare has denied any motion control for both Banjo Nuts and Bolts and Viva Pinata 2.

[tokitoki50]

Bretters, that's old. They went ahead and denied that entirely, twice.
