Apparently Sony will copy-paste Nintendo

Quote

Sony will press release a firm date and a list of partners for its PS3 Motion Controller tomorrow, a source has told VG247.

The announcement is to be made at 5.00pm PST/1.00am GMT tomorrow, we were told today, ahead of a Sony press conference in San Francisco on Wednesday evening.

It’s unknown whether or not the system’s name is to named this week. Previously heavily rumoured to be called both Arc and Gem, new rumours in recent days suggest the system is to be called something separate.

A report this morning claimed the Motion Controller is to arrive in two pieces, in a similar set-up to Wii’s handset.

G4 will be streaming Sony conf

Should be renamed to:
Turok: NOT ABSOLUTE SHIT Edition

Is this supposed to be a tech demo of a game or a tech demo of an engine because the animation was the most impressive thing about it to me.

Bebpo · « **Reply #6 on:** March 09, 2010, 03:45:23 PM »

I'd definitely be down for a modern day Dino fighting game.

Turok demo was terrible, King Kong demo was terrible.

Someone should make an open world sandbox game like JC/RFG set during the dino age. Drive around and see the different dinosaurs living their lives. Scripted story missions where T-rex's chase you through compounds. Hunts to take out giants. Tame a teradactyl to fly the skies and add rocket launchers to it. I want this game. Somebody make it!

Damn, can't believe it's already here. Shows how much interest I've had in gaming for the past year or so.

Anyway, it seems the director of the Metorid games will be doing a keynote on Nintendo's side, and not Miyamoto or Iwata, surprisingly.

Qanda is actually not bad. sounds like "wand," but it starts with a power 'Q', ends with a softening 'a', and most importantly, is both catchy and trademarkable.

I've never been excited about a Tiger Woods game before, but now...between motion control, mistress-hopping, vehicular destruction and wife combat, the possibilities are quite enticing.

someone made that gif on gaf. That's pretty cool but I honestly can't think of a situation in a game where that would come in handy, or a game that could even be played from that perspective (mirror image).

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #19 on:** March 09, 2010, 09:39:23 PM »

I don't think it was meant to show off technology for mirror image gameplay, but rather the degree of control that the wand has.

That's nice and all, but they've been showing only tech demos like this for a while now and maybe some videos that show off practical uses for gameplay wouldn't hurt. Even Natal has been showing off body tracking since the unveil. This wand still needs a way to show it won't just be another Wii (even if it probably is, except not popular, and a bit better).

Qanda isn't catchy.

Sony should simply call it the PlayStation Wand. It's the most generic, memorable, and easily marketable name for the device.

Look at how successful Nintendo have been by flipping 'we'.

Bildi · « **Reply #23 on:** March 10, 2010, 12:25:37 AM »

Qanda sounds like a kind of fruit. Of the citrus family, specifically.

Stolen from gaf

SCEI just yesterday trademarked two things, in Europe:

1) PlayStation Move

Game controllers for consumer video game consoles for use with an external display screen or monitor and attachment devices therefor

2) This non-word mark:

June US kick-off for PC/Mac streaming service; $14.95 subscription and publisher support; No details on Euro launch yet

Controversial games streaming service OnLive will launch in the US on June 17th backed by Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, THQ and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Details for the cloud-based gaming service, which was unveiled amidst much attention at GDC last year, are to be given in a Wednesday keynote this morning at the GamesBeat one-day event at the 2010 Game Developers Conference.

The serivce launches on PC and Mac, and costs $14.95 a month, the firm told our sister magazine MCV.

"Individual titles will be available for purchase or rental on an a la carte basis. Specific game pricing, including rentals,purchases and loyalty programs, will be announced prior to the consumer launch event at E3. We’ll also be announcing additional loyalty and discount programs for consumers in the coming months."

Major publishers have already backed the service - and while specific titles, pricing and revenue share models will be made public closer to the E3 launch, McGarvey told us that a few of the launch games include Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II and Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, as well as THQ’s Metro 2033.

Also,first 25,000 registered users will get their first 3 months of OnLive free.
