Wii envy: Sony finished making PS3 motion-sensing controller? |
Ó
Rumor has it that Sony's been developing their own motion sensing
remote for the PlayStation 3. According to one of Kombo's sources who "has a superb track record for accuracy," the remote is already finished and Sony's looking for third-party publishers to support it in their games.
The source doesn't give any details on how this not-Wiimote will actually function. Will it have the same sensitivity, or will it be enhanced? Will it support SIXAXIS games? Will it serve as the replacement of the SIXAXIS? No idea.
He does say though, that this not-Wiimote will not become the new standard for PS3 games, but will just be an added option. Confirmation of the rumor is expected this E3, as well as a list of compatible titles.

Next up, sony recieves lawsuit from Nintendo for copying Wiimote.
interesting would be cool if they did =D lol gay if they do sue ideas should be open source lolll
that image looks like a cross section of a wiimote and a nunchuck...and a little PS controller as well
rumor has it today is april fools too.
Idiot fanboy
plus if you look closely the buttons are "colorful", kinda like the Xbox +/ The colors are the same as they've been, but Sony always had the symbols "inside" the button. Or maybe they are now used to enhance our eye peripherals because of the one hand use by being able to see the action and the button simultaneously.
I don't even like using the Wiimote so I don't really want a Playstation equivalent. I actually prefer the motion sensors in the PS3 pads as they are. Feel quite nice for racing games or shaking them in something like Linger in Shadows (feels satisfying to 'break' that when shaking the joypad)
how is that fanboy....fanboy to open source? lol
Watch this be a wireless Buzz! remote!
I would buy something like this because I wouldn't mind spending $60 to play the occasional motion game. I'm definitely not spending $250 to play them! I've always felt the Wii cost WAYY to much money for what I had always considered just an add-on that the 360 or PS3 should have.
If Nintendo or Microsoft made a SixAxis knockoff, you'd be crying in your milk. But then again, that would be impossible seeing how the SixAxis was a knockoff in the first place.
In your words..."lol".
i remember a while back there was blue prints of what seemed 2 be a wiimote for 360. also 360 fanboys shouldnt bring "rip off" into the picture because last time i checked u call ur avatars Miis. i personally think that wii is lame, but could be fun sometimes . however if ps3 were to implement a completely motion sensitive game that would be awesome due to the systems incredible capacity. imagine a good sword fightin game, with good controls, n amazing grafics, that would rock!
I don't think that is the real one, I thought it looked kindof Xboxy what with the button colors.
What Sony should have done is create this for PS2.
PS2 price has come down, games are still being developed for it, and Wii is basically a PS2 with motion sensing.
Sony could effectively release a cheaper to produce Wii, execpt have games actually worth playing to the males older than 12.
First, you give me the Photo Gallery.
Then, you allow me the ability to text-chat in 3 separate rooms with up to 256 people at once while I'm getting my face burned off with a flamethrower.
Now, you expect me to go out and buy a Wii-can't-come-up-with-anything-good-Mote to use on some crappy PSN games?
Alright Sony, I guess you think every day is April's Fools or something. I'd go buy a 360 but I actually value my house. My house and fire doesn't mix together.
So some future Wii games could possibly be released cross platform with the PS3 on the psn, so we could possibly have a wii in our ps3
lighten up man, he was just pointing out there might be a lawsuit outta this whole thing. especially with all the lawsuits that have been going on lately between apple and such for stolen concepts and such.He was just stating how he felt about the situation.There really was no "fanboyism" in what he said.
...then Bill Gates would already have been sentenced to transfer his whole fortune to Apple.
The picture is of a GAMETRACK Freedom device for ps3 and 360, link to it is here http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/freedom_hand_unit-728-75.jpg+imgrefurl+http://www.slipperybrick.com/search/how%2Bto%2Bplay%2Bds%2Bgames%2Bon%2Bwii+usg+__ewAmaYRYazw4
i dont see sixaxis as being a knockoff
considering i used to use a logitech tilt sensor gamepad on pc for star wars: rouge squadron
and in a way, arent all gamepads just knockoffs of the original gamepad?
since all they are is a plasic casing with a controller and buttons
some have more buttons but this still doesnt stop the concept being the same
the wiimote is hardly a thing of envy anyway, in alot of games its grossly inaccurate.
if sony get a motion activated controller that works properly and is better designed than the wiimote
then good on them
maybe if PS2 was actually being supported. It has a few more months left til they stop 100% supporting the console. Makes no sense to add this to PS2, especially since the hardware might be too advance for the console to be compatible.
Um yeah we got our avatars from the wii but avatars are also used in other websites, mail, chatrooms, forums, etc. Thats like saying the ps3 shouldn't have psn cause xbox live was made first. Avatars are used all over the place
You guys are copying a trademark controller, there's a difference.
