Sony controller rips off Nintendo

ugh i dont want another remote control its what turns me off of nintendos next system as it is that thing should be an extra type of controller u can buy like an eyetoy.

I want a gamepad this is very disapointing.

One word comes to mind tho thinking of nintendo probly shocked and scared OWNED.

The game's running at a nicely smooth frame rate, and there are pretty good-looking particle effects and heat wash. The game's got good-looking clouds, water, and other environmental details too. Overall, it's a nice looking game that already seems to play well, even though the development team only recently incorporated the new controller's motion sensors. We're looking forward to seeing more of this one in the future.

What the hell are you talking about? The PS3 has a regular controller! The image on the first page is a modified image of the Wii controller to mock Sony. How the hell is Nintendo owned by a fucking silver ps2 pad?
 
[quote name='RonnieWrecked']i can't believe sony is still using the same controller design from 10 or however many years ago.

am i the only person that hates the design?[/quote]

I honestly thought they'd try to copycat the 360 controller's trigger buttons and analog stick placement. I never thought the Dual Shock controller was all that great anyway; just a SNES pad with analog sticks and an extra set of shoulder buttons.

YES! There are people that just dont see the resemblance. I really dont get it.

haha, i've never noticed that before. it seems like the only difference is the d-pad design and the start/select buttons are tilted.

and i'm sure they're roughly the same thickness too.

I was considering making one of my speeches for my class about the whole SNES-CD/PSX thing. One part was going to be about the PlayStation controllers, notably inferring how Sony was trying too hard to make sure their controller wasn't such an obvious SNES pad rip-off. Shapes instead of letters or even PC-style numbers? That's just unnatural! Segmented D-pad?! Making the start button look like a Play button?

Anyway, we can't really call this new controller a DualShock 3 because, well, the shock's gone. So...DualTilt 1?
 
[quote name='spoo']Sorry if this is allready posted in this thread but didn't Sony copy MS controller?

Yeah, apparently someone on Gamespot posted something about MS and Logitech already having made tilt-sensing controllers.

I remember playing with this thing a long time ago and after hearing about Sony's "surprising new innovation" immediately thought of it. I thought it came with Motocross Madness 2, though. Wow, shows how old I am. If anyone else remembers, the demo kiosk for this controller had a little submarine type game that was programmed onto a grid of LED lights.
 
God is Sony so full of BS. "The next gen doesn't start until the PS3." Give me a break... wake me up when Nintendo takes back the King Of The Video Game Mountain. Its going to happen. I guarantee it.
 
It's weird how many people jokingly said Sony would steal the Wiimote idea.

Or were they not joking?

There is a reason Nintendo is paranoid about showing their stuff. Sometimes its extreme, but its certainly not completely unfounded.
 
[quote name='SpottedNigel']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[/quote]

Yup. PS3's remote is cool but doesn't exactly steal Nintendo's thunder. Nintendo still appears to have the whole shabang in that department and PS3 having slight motion detection does not change that. I think it's great, personally. I'm really a fan of this new type of controlling so if Sony can do a VERY watered down version of it well, I'll totally enjoy it...but I know Nintendo is really going to rock it, and I know Wii will be THE console of choice when it comes to this new gaming experience.

Don't let it bother y'all too much! :) Wii will still be it's own thing, regardless of PS3 having a couple of the same features. Wii will have it's own thing going with it's own games that take SO MUCH MORE advantage of these unique features. Two totally different consoles doing different things.

I don't know if anyone has posted that, but it's a pretty good look at why Sony's move really is not that big of a deal when it comes to the Wii's impact. As I was saying above, Wii has so much more capabilities than pure tilting - and developers have already started taking advantage of all Nintendo has to offer. Also, I'm sure Nintendo will acknowledge Sony's move today and point out, again, exactly why Wii is still THE console of choice when it comes to this interactive type of gaming. Tilting really is not a big deal at all, though yeah it does seem like a rip-off considering their timing.
 
[quote name='SpottedNigel']...That horrible confrence wasnt a dream? Wow....[/QUOTE]
Nope, it happened.

This all makes even less sense and is more pathetic after a night's sleep.
 
You know, the Wii name is starting to stick. Even though I wasn't very fond of it a few days ago.

I am fully with Nintendo now after this outright BS Sony is pulling. I plan on getting a Wii before I even touch a PS3 at this rate.

I hope Reggie rips Sony a new one later today.

No it won't.

They will be respected and honored guests within Microsoft's kingdom, however...as opposed to Sony, who will not be permitted within a mile of the castle and be forced to live in the wastelands by itself.

One thing we do agree on - Sony is primed for a fall.

How do you suppose the 360 will take the next gen crown without winning Japan? In 5 years I see the 360 as the 'System of a thousand FPS's'. Well, that and Madden.
 
[quote name='willardhaven']The great thing about the Wii is that we can use the wavebird on it, perhaps even with the new games.[/quote]
You can use the Wavebird on Gamecube games. I don't see it happening with Wii games.
 
I just finished watching the Sony conference - the fucking balls on those guys is unbelievable.

Still, since the motion sensors were an obvious last minute add on I do not see how it would be comfortable to move around and press buttons at the same time.
 
When I first saw this thread, I actually thought Sony showed a black wiimote like on the first page. THAT would have been balls.

Their blatant copycat move will probably make me hold off on getting a ps3 even longer now, (as if the $600 price tag wasn't deterrent enough). And it does nothing to undo their "evil empire" reputation. But still, I have to say it was a clever move to differentiate themself from the xbox360 and steal some of Nintendo's thunder at the same time. I'm sure MS will introduce an add-on controller for their system soon. They've been around for years for PCs already. Nothing innovative there. There are tons of games that would benefit from this (GT with steering, ace combat flying, etc...). They should have thought of this on their own a long time ago. Let's hope most people see through the charade instead of thinking it's the same as what's in the Wii.
 
does anyone care about the PS3 anymore after Nintendo and MS's amazing showings today?

One thing's for sure, they're going to have one HELL of an uphill battle at this point. It seems as if the price point was a huge hit and Nintendo's and Microsoft's shows just added insult to injury. Its almost like Sony is trying to combine both of those 2 systems into 1 but it seems pretty inferior to each in each way, well except graphics anyway.
 
[quote name='jer7583']does anyone care about the PS3 anymore after Nintendo and MS's amazing showings today?[/quote]

I do. PS3 is expensive as hell, but I'd rather have a PS3 over a 360.

Wii > PS3 > 360
 
Well, at EB everyone was stoked about the Wii, liked what MS put out today, and laughed about the PS3 (all except the one guy who was going to a BD player anyway, so its cheap for him). But if the PS3 is going to try to make money on this by being a BD player, good luck. If the games don't sell, that's no good.

I gotta believe Sony's still taking quite a loss on each system so if they don't sell plenty of games the lifespan of the PS3 could end up being quite short.
 
So we go from the "Boomerang" to the Dual Shock 2, only now wireless with tilt funtions? Meh.

And here I thought M$ was going to be the one to drop the E3 ball . . .

MS had it easy. Their system was already out, so it was really just throwing out some new developments, new games, etc. They could have easily not been the most exciting as a result, but it'd be hard for them to have a BAD E3. Nintendo's was really make or break, but obviously it worked.
 
I like how this steals the thunder away from Pretendo's "exclusive" motion sensing controller, but more then likely it will be hardly used and look stupid compared to Pretendo's Wangmote (which is pretty hard to do).

I do.

PS3 > Wii > 360 for me.

The Wii controller is used exactly as I thought it would be, and I couldn't care less about Halo 3.

MGS4 is really the best (console exclusive) game shown so far IMO.

There was also a Nintendo licensed controller for the original NES machine called GAMEHANDLER. It was released in 1991 and had motion sensing technology in it. The controller was also expandable, and had add-ons planned that expanded its functionality with many of the features that are popular today (including rumble feature and extra private screen--a la the GBA to GC connection).

I'm more excited about Wii than anything, but as far as single best game...MGS4, hands-down. MGS3 is one of my all-time favorite games, so I was already anticipating this...but WOW. The trailers are amazing.
 
[quote name='Foolman']It sucks that MGS4 can't come close to justifying the price.

And I thought this was interesting: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/09/dual-shake-functionality-tacked-on-at-last-minute/

I know a lot of people have been guessing that, but actually hearing it from a developer is just plain sad.[/QUOTE]

Ha, did anyone really think that this was like, in the works for a while? IT SENSE MOTION! Time to go 4D fellas!

I'm not saying I'm not excited about the Wii, its just that Nintendo isnt being truly innovative with it yet and really using it. So far its just meh things IMO. I am excited though to see if something new is shown about it since I think the idea is really good, Nintendo just needs to really run with it. I will buy it though once they start bringing the really innovative and exciting ways to use it though (or when the Kojima game comes out which will most likely fill the need for innovation).

Agreed. I just loved MGS3 to friggin' bits, and it pains me that I'm going to have to wait so long for a PS3 price drop to play it. But Kojima is freaking nuts about the Wii, so I have to hope that as one of the few third-party developers who had advance knowledge of the controller, he has something waiting in the wings.

Have you watched any of the videos yet? They have made motion-sensing versions of everything from swordfighting and grapple-hook link to samus shooting to tennis to something that looked like pilotwings to madden to somehow controlling mario. I doubt they would mess up mario or metroid mechanics. About the only thing they haven't hinted at yet is some "pleasure your wiimote" game.
 
[quote name='scottman'] About the only thing they haven't hinted at yet is some "pleasure your wiimote" game.[/QUOTE]

And let's face it. We're all going to do that anyway, regardless of if there's an official game for it or not.

Yes, I've watched them. The sword fighting reminded me of that Star Wars arcade game where you fight Darth Vader with a lightsaber. I'm not saying what is being done is bad, I'm just saying it could go so much further and it should be. If Nintendo is taking the risk with the Wii, they really need to make it something amazing IMO.
 
Sony's scam artists bitches deserve to fail.

Viva la next-gen! Out with the Sony, in with Nintendo and Microsoft!

But who should replace Sony? I vote Sega, their systems rules.
