Sk8erfreak Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 As for the motion sensor in the PS3, there were rumours of this back in 2003 (Before Revolution was even announced) and by no means is the Xbox 360 innovative, it just has a different shape. I just don't understand why people are hating the PS3 controller and not the Xbox 360. If anything it's gone back a little with the removal of force feedback. Blame that on the lawsuit. Microsoft payed their way out of it while Sony tried to fight it. 136 Combat, 2290+ Skill Total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelAssassin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 if you havnt seen the E3 Playstaion video confrence.. its been scraped 1) its the same shape as the normal PS2 controller 2) its wireless 3) it has that movement thing that the new nintendo one has 4) its lighter it looks so awsome, they tried it with a demo of warhawk and it played to near perfection www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadburys_egg Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I know. Sooooooo much better. I didnt want a boomerang for a controller. Wanna see it? Linkage Its also got the PS symbol in the centre of the controller like the XBOX. Ah Sony, where ripping off the competition a business model. So it's going to be wireless with a motion sensor. Golly. Breaking some new ground here! If only you could rip-off something like the Wii's price. Btw, the Wii is said to sell for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã290, not the estimated ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã500 for the PS3. :shock: Edit: Wouldn't it have been better to post this in the already existing E3 topic? :?

Bubsa Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 To pick up on sk8er's remarks, some info from our friend wikipedia: On May 8, 2006, during their press conference, Sony announced that their PlayStation 3 game console would feature motion sensing functionality. However, the technologies work somewhat differently, as the PlayStation 3 controller does not utilize a positional sensor. Sony's announcement was made nearly eight months after Nintendo unveiled their controller. This was perceived by many observers as a copycat maneuver. It should be noted, however, that concepts and implementations of motion-sensing game controllers date back to before Nintendo's announced agreement with gyro sensor developer Gyration in 2001, or even Sony's EyeToy concept, which dates back to 2000. Around 1999, several gamepads featured tilt-sensing technology. One such device (though not the first) is the Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro, which was announced back in 1998. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelAssassin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 the PS controller has been the best controller created, why change somthing that isnt broken? www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadburys_egg Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 For all the people hating the PS3 controller... Why? It still has it's rigid design and lacks any ergonomical improvement, the controller just doesn't grip as well as it should (the 360's grip and button placement is much better) And which did you use first? Ill admit, im a PS fanboy. Playstations are a very...neutral machine. Microsoft have some of the PS games and some exclusive ones, Nintendo are full of Mario games and some exclusives. While Playstations tend to have the widest variety of games. (Im sure that made no sense ><;) I really need to get myself the *playstation exclusive* '24: The Game'. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Oh, it should be noted that the PS3 controllers motion sensing technology is "Tilt" based only, comparable only to the Wii's left hand control. The Wii's primary controller (the remote) is still the most powerful motion-sensing unit available so far. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianbur Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Tsk, typical old Sony. Nintendo should have revealed their controller at E3. But I don't know why i'm complaining, i'll probably get the PS3 when Pro Evolution 6 comes out. By the way, Nintendo's conference is on right now. Diddy Kong Racing is coming out on the DS!!

RebelAssassin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 i think Microsoft have really hit Sony hard with this, Halo 3(which to be honest was expected) but GTA4 no one expected that, even if they did not this soon and on Xbox360 only www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutangFlu Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 this is just a rumor, but my friend *who is a racing game freak* said that Microsoft is also getting Grand Turismo... not sure if its true, but if it is.. all sony has going for it is 100's of crappo RPGs and Metal Gear. and Final Fantasy.

That's going downhill. Nintendo is gradually buying the rights back for Final Fantasy. Note the GBA remakes of the N-Gen FF games? Nintendo still owns half the series, and the Crystal Chronicles series. In addition, they have secured the rights to Final Fantasy tactics. Speculators say that in 5 years, Final Fantasy will be mainstreaming with Nintendo again. That being said, the FF6 remake tech demo for the N64 beat the pants off of FF7 graphics-wise. The Final Fantasy team is regretting ditching Nintendo (because Nintendo stuck with cartridges) but now the playing field is even. Sony is losing the race, and Nintendo is winning back it's third-party developers. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.
