psst...from what I've heard before the end of the conference, they're going to unveil a new name for the ps3 instead of going with the number they're opting for the name Piii...I wonder how they came up with it?

[quote name='Strell']Why was the last thread closed, hmmm?

Don't even pretend that wasn't bullshit.[/quote]

Why, hmmm?

Because the press conference thread was made for a reason. To discuss what happens at the press conference. I was going to try to prevent 11,000 threads from being made about the same thing, but fuck it. People whine too fucking much.
 
I see the point. I too would like to discuss this without the fan boys creaming their shorts about Sony coping Nintendo.

People are ignoring that it only has 'Six degrees of motion sensoring."

Isn't that significantly more limited then Nintendo Wii?
 
I personally wonder how much Sony is losing per console.. I just don't see how it's possible for the manufacturing costs to be below $500 with the new format. As for innovation.. they do seem to be aiming to be an all-inclusive platform with an "Xbox-live-like" online service and a motion controller like Nintendo's.. Also, it seems as if Sony is flaunting Square support around in the same manner as a crackwhore would with a brand new pair of hooker boots or something.
 
I laughed my ass off at news of internal sensors. They actually one-upped Nintendo since they're internal and not external, man are those Nintendo fanboys going to be pissed.

I have no idea what "six degrees" means, but I was only viewing through a blog.

Anyway, it seems half-assed, at least compared to Nintendo. Something about hovering that controller up and down with two hands just seems very uncomfortable.

It can be internal since its only a small fraction of what Wii can do.
I'm just pissed since they started spouting the word innovative after everything they've said about the Revo controller
 
It'll probably be used about as much as the "pressure sensitive" buttons on the Dual Shock 2, which is to say kojima and a few others will, but nobody else.

Sony has shown a whole new level of arrogance here. "the next gen does not arrive until PS3.. lol"

That has to be the most pathetic backpedaling I've ever seen in my LIFE.

It could give me CANCER.

1. You don't know shit.

2. You know, somehow I knew you'd come back with something having to do with your dick, my mom, or typing in caps. And I knew it would be hilarious.
 
I don't see why they decided to spend the extra cash on that when they're already going to be losing tons of money.
 
i guess when they meant that Nintendo isnt their competition, it meant they could just take an idea since they arent competing against them
 
[quote name='whoknows']hmmm...do I want to play with nunchucks or a dual shock 2?[/QUOTE]

Nunchucks. They're more fun and you can scare away muggers.

Have fun with Devil May Cry 4. And Metal Gear 4. And Tekken 6. And Virtua Fighter 5. And Final Fantasy XIII, both of them. The PS3 lineup is a big joke.

Please, feel free to resort to a personal attack. That makes you look so much more credible.

I also want you to reply to this post with "I called the italics too." Yea ok.

How can you even pretend that wasn't bullshit fanboyism at its finest, when we're dealing with something that is as blatant as copying a competitor?

I guess if they rolled out Sony Live service and had Sony Arcade, you'd be allowed to make a bullshit thread?

No, that would be wrong.
 
My bad on the one-upping part, since it isn't as functional as Revolution. Christ, Sony, steal it right.


DAMNIT I NEED SOME PICTURES
 
They should have just called the PS3 controller the Plagiariser.
 
What I don't understand is how it's suddenly motion sensitive. They couldn't have done this to developers overnight and just said hey it's motion sensitive now, they must have been planning this since E3 05.

fuck, I swore if Sony did this I'd renounce my Sony faith since the fanboy wars are too much for me to take with all the copycat comments but I'm actually enjoying the hilarity of this as much as anybody enjoys the hilarity of Reggie.
 
I'll be the first to say it:

Reggie will not be pleased. Necks will be broken and souls will be devoured.

$20 says he bites the head off a live PS3 controller.
 
Strell - chillax. It makes sense about closing down the threads and focusing all the raw, unabated fanboyism into one thread instead of having the fires spread all across CAG.

I'm as pissed as you are, but gotta pick our fights.

Calm down and put your cock back in your pants. We dont need any more exploded heads this evening.

That just means no one will use it. But now they can say "Hay guys! You don't need Kidtendo, we have motion detection! Hip to the max!"

And all this negative energy not directed at Sony seems so wasteful :(
 
It looked like he had a hard time controlling the plane when he was using the controller. Looked like a lot of effort to get his plane to go where he wanted.

When he said it had a secret, I knew what it was going to be. It is laughable that Sony said earlier they weren't intersted in what Nintendo was doing...

I will laugh if Reggie says something about their (Sony) controller tomorrow...
 
The censorship is more annoying that Cuntaragi being a shit eating motion sensing stealing goddamn motherfucker.

Someone is going to have to explain to me how either thread was out of line.

Except that they can't.

I would assume it means it has positive and negative x, y, and z axes.

Is there such a thing as a stupid question?

That makes sense. My guess is that this becomes as marginally important to the PS3 as the Eyetoy was to PS2 (a few standalone games, random others which try to incorporate it). You knew Sony was gonna do this at some point, but I never figured they would be so blatant about trying to work it in before the launch.

This will definitely make Reggie's speech even more awesome, at least.

Sony will have to pick a new name for the PS3 after Reggie is done kicking it's ass.

Wow, sequels to a bunch of hot selling games?

That's one awesome joke.

So funny to see gamers get their panties in a bunch, though.
 
Sony just announced that the standard PS3 controller will include a 3 axis tilt sensor capable of detecting "360 degrees" of motion. The announcement was followed by a quick video, which, to the trained eye, demonstrated the limitations of their thinly veiled attempt to copy Nintendo's innovative Wii controller. They proudly asserted that the device was innovative (yes, but who's innovation?) and blithely pointed out that it requires no external sensors to function.

At what cost does the loss of external sensors come though? In short, the PS3 controller will only detect the tilt of the controller as it is moved. The demonstration showed a guy attempting to fly a plane from the game Warhawk with it. He made exaggerated motions, which turned the plane, but the plane returned to level before he moved the controller back. This is a far cry from the sensitivity of the Wii controller. The sensor bar allows the Wii to detect the precise location and orientation of the Wii controller even when it is not moving. This will enable a much larger range of applications (such as first person shooting to name just one). Of course, the Wii controller also has an accelerometer in the analog attachment as well.

After watching the video again, it is clearly bogus. The controller only reconizes tilt. That's hardly on the level with the Wii. It's more like a glorified Power Glove.

no, sequels to things that we've been playing for the past 10 years, on the same controller we've been using for the past 10 years. It's boring.

"Iwata need not drop the bomb. Sony did it for him"

LOL THX TO TEH HOTT MARIOS
 
It honestly looks like something they slapped on at the last minute to steal some of the Wii's thunder. As for tomorrow, consider Sony's ass kicked and name taken...
 
Personally, I think that WarHawk or whatever it is looked far more difficult to control with the motion sensitive controller.
 
It responded only to the tilt. Watch the video. It didn't matter how wide he was swinging his arms... the plane centered itself only when he TILTED the controller.

This is such a farce. I was stunned at first, now I'm just disgusted. "We don't rush unfinished products" says the company that gave us the PS2 that dies if exposed to air and the PSP with a defective button that's standard with each machine.

How is DMC4, MGS4, Final Fantasy 13, VF5, and Tekken 6 make it a "joke". Name a different console with a better lineup.
