I doubt it. Sony wouldn't be stupid after what happened with the other lawsuit. As with patents, you can work around them. Remember, Sony's and Ninty's controllers/remotes/whatever are quite different.



Post of the day!

According to Gspot FF13's trailer was actually rendered in-game. To whoever it was that said the trailer wasn't.

But yes, can't wait till tomorrow when Microsoft and Nintendo have their go at it. And then two GFF forums will explode.

As for the controller issue, get over it, Sony might've gotten the idea form Nintendo but this isn't the end of the world. Its not the first time competitors took some ideas from their rivals.

Apparently not, since you post a whole lot of it.

For someone talking about not listening, you sure seem to exercise a lot of "selective reading".

OH GOD

WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP SAYING THAT

DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW FUCKING RETARDED YOU LOOK WHEN YOU SAY "WIIMOTE"

WHY ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF CALLING IT A CONTROLLER LIKE NORMAL ADULTS

Not to pimp IGN (cause they aren't worth pimping) but they got lots of screens up NOW.

EDIT:
He's using a freaking word in place of 2 words.

Wiimote -vs- Wii Remote

If he wants to sound like a jackass let him. Just calm the heck down.

Ahem:
Wiimote


Have a sense of humor will you? It's a gaming console, it can sound silly.

From what I can tell, Gelb-2 is trying to say that the PS3 controller and the Wii Remote have NOTHING (verbatim) in common, while the Technophile is attesting that the PS3 controller's gyroscope functionality is a rip off the Wii Remote because of their similarities.

I'll have to side more strongly with Technophile (though you are now both being shitheads) particularly because of Gelb-2's decided escalation with his "fuck" post, and I can't really tolerate blatantly rampant crude behavior.

Secondly, I'd like to point out that the ability to sense in 3 dimensions, regardless of Gyroscopic technology, is SIMILAR in both the Wii Remote and the PS3 controller. Please do not tell me, Gelb, that the two have NOTHING in common.

YOU'RE NOT HUMORING ME, SIR

There's a distinct line between "silly" and "fucking retarded," and it's obvious that you can't tell the difference.

Good read for those who don't understand the differences in Nintendo and Sony's controllers.


Also, Merv and everyone else shut up about the wiimote or whatever. It's just a short combo name. Just shut up.

Oh right, just because you don't seem to find the term WIIMOTE amusing, I shall stop, because apperantly you're the only one who is able to be exposed to the word WIIMOTE. It doesn't matter if some of us out there like the term WIIMOTE. Oh no. You hate WIIMOTE, so that means WIIMOTE is no more. If you don't like it, move on. WIIMOTE.

Geez, Merv, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Here's everybody before your post:
"Wiimote Wiimote yeshmmmmm...."

And then here's you:
"It's not the fucking WIIMOTE SHUT THE FUCK UP GRAWRAAWRAWR!!"

I mean seriously where the fuck did you come from and why are you so angry?


Edited, in response to Acerbandit's recent post, I said much the same thing in a post of mine just a while back... This is sort of a.... I told you so to everybody here, since nobody has the patience to read through what other people have to say since all the post are going WAY TOO fast.

I'm going to have to side with myself due to your decidedly snobbish behavior. I can't tolerate people who are full of shit.

My point still stands, and I think everyone crying about this ripoff nonsense is overreacting.

wiimote more like peemote

Yeah, seriously.. It's like those idiots that constantly say AM I RITE.

I'm going to say it one more time and then I will start banning violaters from this thread.

Shut up about the wiimote thing. Stop antagonizing Merv about it and Merv stop complaining about something so insignificant.

I like how you're so oblivious as to how retarded you look right now.

And that's without the 500 uses of "WIIMOTE"*

*mines bigger lawl

Who are you and why should I care.

Okay, no more. I realize you posted at the same time as me, Merv, but no more. After this post I will start banning people from this thread.

What the fuck are you on about? The only difference is a bigger harddrive.

Deleted at Acer's request to not irritate Merv anymore than he is over the usage of the term wiimote.

Read the rest. The difference is internal Wi-fi, no HDMI output, no memory card support AND a smaller harddrive.

They said they weren't pulling the same shit as Microsoft, so instead they do exactly that and then some.

- WraithTwo -

Or internal wifi, or HDMI output, and memory card slots.

Alright, the "ripoff" thing isn't about the exact technology used, it's about the IDEA and DIRECTION behind the alternate gameplay method. The fact that they are copying it is really irrelivant though, what IS relivant is that it's half arsed. They would have been better off not showing such a thing at all, so we'd all be talking about MGS4 instead of Wii.

Overall though, great looking games like MGS4 remain unaffected and awesome.

1) Technophile, your latest post would be considered antagonizing the Merv.

2) to Merv, Why should it matter who I am?

3) You should CARE because your acting like an immature kid. Seriously, this is the kind of behavior that I am utterly SICK of on these boards. Nobody gives a shit if nobody knows who you are, even if you have something worthwhile to say, then everybody hides and scurries behind the anonymity of "teh internet" because they can't accept responsibility of their actions, and because "it feels so damn good to do whatever the fuck you want".

That makes the higher end model a lot more tempting. But urgh... 549 is still pretty steep.

Way to go Sony.
