Right after NPD, this little news comes out. (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/sony-working-on-break-apart-motion-ps3-pad)
Can't wait for MGS4: Substantial to have these controls!

MGS4: Substantial
nice.

R.I.P. gaming

Nintendo has destroyed my favorite hobby. All we can do now is enjoy the next couple years of real gaming and then move on to something else. Carpentry? Pottery? Watercolor painting? I dunno, we'll figure something out.

All this means is the next gen of Sony and MS consoles will be $300 instead of $400-600.
Third parties still know where the love is.

I ain't buying another revised controller, Sony! Suckasses weren't cheap and the DS3 after that wasn't cheap either.

Waggle may be a pain, but I also don't think Nintendo came out with the optimal solution for a pointer device. And personally, I think the two-part controller design is the way to go, as opposed to the two-handed brick design that is unfortunately the current standard.

I'm sure you will change your mind once you get one for yourself. Isn't that sort of what happened with you and the 360?
-
Yeah, but waggle is a different kind of animal.
Actually, when I think about it... my biggest problem with the Wii is the 7-year old hardware they put in it. I love the immersion that incredible graphics and animation gives you. If the Wii was just as powerful as the 360 and PS3, I'd probably own one right now.
The other big issue is the type of games on the platform. If MS and Sony use their wands for casual shovelware, like what 90% of the Wii's library consists of, then I want nothing to do with it.

who gives a fuck?

Why would they do that? Nintendo doesn't use their controller for casual shovelware.
-
Well, if the previous rumors are correct, the device will likely work with Killzone 2. And presumably then, every other future (and obviously better) FPS on the system. Although, Sony does have a pretty decent amount of talent available for making wackier and quirkier games, so I'm not counting out the "casual" (or perhaps super-hardcore) value of the controller quite yet. And doesn't it still have a internal sports studio? I don't know what Microsoft is going to do though. Turn Rare into a mini-game sweatshop? Rely on contributions from indie companies and individuals working with XNA?

Video games are on their way out anyways. The new sensation is POG.

Why the fuck would you wanna use a dual handed controller for Killzone if it doesn't have a pointer?

Uh, supposedly it does act as a positional device, only obviously not using Nintendo's proprietary tech.
The better question would be, why would you want to play Killzone 2?

Nope, don't see it, I see a lot of games with high production values that were polished well, regardless of whether or not they appeal to your tastes.
It's like Spider-Man 3 and Turkish Spider-Man. Both may not appeal to you or the rest of sensible humanity, but one is a piece of bargain bin crap.

Oh, it's more than x2 gyros?

And for the record, I'd take a two-part controller over a single clumpy device any day of the week. Pointer or no pointer.

Other "reports" have suggested that it's a lot more than just two accelerators.

and i see crap i wouldn't buy even at $4.99. also, wii games don't have production values, because the hardware is incapable of such a thing.
-
Yea, the split on Wii is great.
Hopefully Sony doesn't just crack a Dual Shock in half, and instead redesigns each half. I don't know how well traditional 2-shoulder-button shit would work without the firm grip of a brick.

Well now, Mario has some pretty strong designs, and certainly very good and nice sounding music.

you don't see me suggesting mana-khemia has production values, or that it is worth purchasing a system for
mana-khemia is definitely shovelware

did you ever save the dogs drinky
the dogs and their majestic idyllic isle

MGS4 is already out. Just shoot the PS3 in the head now and stop wasting R+D money on it.
-

the dogs and their majestic idyllic isle
my daughter has not asked to play it since then :'(
-
"No! I must fight the dogs" he shouted
The radio said "No, Drinky. You are the dogs"
And then Drinky was a ninthing.
-
You know, you could just choose to not buy it. ::)
-
off-topic but:
The two unveils I know 100% sure are legit are Dead Rising 2 and Halo 4. Halo, though, won't be playable, it'll just be a trailer. But expect hands-on time with DR2. ;)
:opaeek
i'm sure it's bs tho

Hope it happens just so whinny man babbies can finally quit the hobby. Most of the whiners will just suck it up and suddenly love waggle.

You didnt answer my first question
-
Wouldn't it be better to make more innovative games? Not just the same old games controlled in a slightly different manner?
-

No. Why bother with forceful innovation when one device can bring something fresh to any number of existing design formats?

If only all developers would follow in Steven Spielberg's footsteps. If only. :'(

Wait, was there a second? And my answer is Yogi.

The only thing that can save the hobby is waggle and the belligerent and erroneous use of the word "narrative" in game reviews. also, wait for X.

There would be a second question if you'll just let me.

The control system, said the source, actually consists of a smaller-sized device that can attach to the body - and multiple devices are intended to be used in concert, such as wearing two on the hands to move a character's hands in-game, or four, on hands and feet at the same time to move a character's body.
Though the source admits the technology might have evolved since the last time it was seen, the source disputes the idea that any of these pieces merge to form a single controller. It is also unclear how the individual pieces will be packaged, whether individually or in sets.
It's not just waggle, it's FULL-BODY WAGGLE.

Your charm won me over. I'll say no.
This better be good...

the thing is with Wii, the games look so assy they have to be really fucking good If I can be fucked playing them
i.e No More Heroes, amazing game, but i dont think theres going to be a game on par with it for a long time

No More Heroes had style and humor going for it, but not a whole lot else, unfortunately.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This is Sony :bow2 to Nintendo.

Sounds like Sony is applying the same line of thought to waggle that they did to the rest of PS3 hardware. More. Bigger. Faster. Stronger.
They have lost sight of the Japanese way. This is why they are doomed.

What if they do? There's more to being bigger, faster and stronger than the shell you stuff a GPU and CELL BROADBAND ENGINE into.

:-\ This is the worst case scenario for me. Nintendo kicking ass so hard is going to ruin gaming for non-soccer moms.

If this turns out to be true, that's just crazy. Sony need to learn to keep it simple.
