New SIXAXIS Ad starring big dragon from Lair

Tired of playing with eggs, PS3 ad man? The last Play B3yond ad for the PS3 featured the results of counting your crows when they hatch, courtesy of SIXAXIS motion-sensing. But we guess Sony Marketing's not tired of the SIXAXIS yet, because they decided to mate the controller to a big dragon.

Let's not get any nasty ideas from the "mating". It's just another ad for the SIXAXIS, on YouTube via propagandery (the guy, not the phenomenon) featuring Lair gameplay from Factor 5.



Now it's cool that a lot of devs are slowly learning to incorporate tilt-sense into the gameplay of their respective titles (Resistance's knife to the guts, and using the SIXAXIS as as Virtua Tennis racket?). But will this explosion of moving your body to the beat of the game lead to the SIXAXIS version of a Wiinjury? (Suddenly, deleting the weight of the rumble sounds like a good idea, because those weights hurt when the controller flies off your opponent's hand and into your face).

Still, this writer wishes that the commercial could have been longer. Where are all the Warhawk scenes? The game's supposed to be the promo title for the SIXAXIS, isn't it? Hard steel and high explosive pwns dragon flesh and fire any day! Bring it!

Wow Motion sensing technology... so what, the Wii has this too, dont and they dont get all wet over it. The PS3 acts like its a different thing that no other console has... well guess what, its not. SONY are such copycats.

To Chris L

Do you really prefer seeing Red Steel then Lair? I think I can agree with everyone here when I say anything that has dragon and fire in it makes instantly cool.

stupid argument

I guess only nintendo is allowed to use joysticks too then And only nintendo can have rumble. And only MS consoles can use HDD And only MS is allowed to redo their controller after nobody likes the first one. And only Sony consoles can use cds/dvds And only Sony consoles can play movies. Yes, this is how dumb the sony steals everything argument is. Only fanboys could come up with something this stupid to get their panties all twisted about. get over it and enjoy your last gen xbox with a "nifty" controller.

Actually...

...whilst some people here may have annoyed you, when you add comments like this "enjoy your last gen xbox with a "nifty" controller", it makes you no different than those you're complaining about. :|

@truth

I agree with you 100%!! Plus, didn't Sony come up with the motion sensing idea before Nintendo? Lol, random fact that I didn't know about until this video: Didn't even notice that when you flip the word Sixaxis around with the a in place, you end up with sixaxis again haha!

Vietdumb

actually Microsoft came up with the motion sensing controller and it was years ago. They just dont implement it because its just a gimmick, which is why sony touts about it so much, because all sony is is a gimmick. And yes, sony does steal everything. Name one thing sony has come up with without stealing it and it hasnt failed? enough said.
