Sony's dynamic duo of Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov are back again with another video showing off their upcoming motion controller. We've already seen the controller's journey from the drawing board to the prototype stage, and now the two are taking a look back at the E3 09 demo in more detail.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in there ranging from plasma whips and drawing, to abstract domino snakes and real time strategy-style games. They also show off some of the things that didn't quite make it to the E3 presentation so check it out.

» Tiny amount of delay maybe half a second

but there is as you can see in the beginning. They should somehow get that fixed because most games has a lot about to do with timing. I am not sure what is the delay on the Wii since the only game I would ever play is Super Smash Bros which is probably their best game and guess what it doesn't even use motion controls. If you argue by saying if you look wand moves with the video thats obvious since the delay is in video capture not in processing the motion since the video they are showing you isn't what hes doing now its like what he did half a second before.

The first few seconds of the video are way out of sync, but that's just the feed without the controller. I'm pretty sure you're way off here, not the controller. Watch again and see the shots with both him and the display showing at the same time. They are almost dead on. Maybe .05 seconds off, but far from .5.



P.S. Punctuation is your friend.

That looks really amazing.

I hope devs can make some fun games with this.

Hopefully SONY does something cool with it and doesn't just expect 3rd Parties to have all the imagination. Damn it just give me "PS3 Sports" and I'll be happy for awhile!

» When the controller and the IN GAME Video is showing

It is now not the camera that is what I was saying. When that is showing it is actually the game therefore what it showing is what the eye has already caught. As I was saying the video capture needs to be improved not the interpretation of motion. Read my post again.

» Clearly people don't understand

Let's say I was using speech to text software. If I was to say something and the time the software types it out it is delayed because of the delay in voice capture. If I was to already have an audio file that is directly already on the computer playing and use that to do speech to text. There won't be delay due to no delay in the voice capture.
