At least the action in the game looks fast and solid.

You act like that genre's new. I hope to god you're not referring to Halo, since Doom did that shit loooooooooong before Bungie ever thought of it.

Save mankind from demons, aliens, whatever. It ain't new anymore and nobody who has done it recently thought of it first.

EDIT: This looks hot.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

GUNDAMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I haven't played a Gundam game in years, this could be good.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Good to see the Virtua Tennis series is alive and kicking. So far so good Sony.

If they can reproduce the awesome that was Ridge Racer 4 then I'll love Namco all over again.

How ya doing, buddy?

Same, except for Virtua Tennis 3 and a few others.

At least we've seen Sony won't have awful third party support, as usual.

So far so good, IMO.

METAL GEAR! Finally, a real game. GTFO Square-Enix.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ahahaha, PRAYSTATION 3. I'm going to hell for laughing at Kens accent.

FELIPE NO

So much for the boomerang. ;_;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'd rather they rip it off and have an actual CONTROLLER than rip it off and try to immitate that remote bullshit Nintendo is doing.

OH SHIT WARHAWK.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It only detects leaning in all dimensions. NOT movement.

Doesn't matter, fanboys will still say they're ripping off Nintendo from here to Sunday, whatever.

YOU MUST TWIST THE CONTROLLER AND DODGE THE PLANES IN THE EXTREMELY TIGHT TUNNEL! ENGAGE.

Hahaha, that shit would be insane.

How ya doing, buddy?

Can't even believe how true this is. Wii-mote, get off the fucking earth.

Everyone's just jaded, who are you trying to kid. I can afford a PS3 easy, I know what I'm getting in November.

True, there was some crap (SONIC, UGH) but a lot of it looked interesting.

I was speaking idiomatically.

PS3 will sell well because of

- PlayStation logo
- Madden
- Square-Enix
- Insert other reasons here that I can't predict because it's not due out until November but I'm guessing it'll sell well even though it's six hundred dollars or about eight thousand dollars Australian and also I wonder what will be on the demo disc, hopefully a video of someone falling over that'd be excellent time for lunch!

I hope they make a game where all you do is talk with Tiger.

"Hey Tiger, I just killed your dog."
"YES."

I guess Sony learned the hard way from laughing off the DS?

Why do people keep calling it the wii-mote, most ridiculous name ever.

Just call it what is, a TV remote, ok. Can't believe Nintendo stole the TV remote idea from people who've been manufacturing TVs for years, what the fuck is this.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well for one it looked like a fucking boomerang. Your point sucks.

Who are you kidding, the Nintendo Remote will come with channel/volume and option buttons. Nintendo trying to cut into other peoples markets since they can't get their own right.

IDEA THEFT OMG

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My entire point was to make up as ridiculous an arguement as the people shouting about how Sony is constantly stealing stuff but apparently I'm NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH.

loooool tv remote though

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What's hilarious is how everyone attributes Sonys "stealing" to Nintendos failure. It's not like they take an idea and then go to Nintendos HQ and kill everyone who came up with or can enhance it. Nintendos own incompetency is what sets them back from being number one, not anyone else. PS2 was arguably the weakest of the last gen consoles, and yet it was a complete powerhouse. Obviously this is somehow related to them ripping off Nintendo all the time.

It's not even the same fucking thing. From the looks of it it's a gyro whereas the TV remote is a complete motion sensor you have to actually swing around and shit..

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Goofy, sure, but as I was saying so was calling the Dual-Shock 3 a fucking boomerang.

That's what makes it so fucking LAME. You take a lame gimmick and then compound it with an even worse console name. It's like a big failure sandwich.

At least the boomerang had relevance that didn't suck.

EDIT: Wasn't Sony being sued over the vibration feature in the dual shocks? If so the "removal" from the newer controllers could be an awesomely played copout.

Exactly what I was thinking. There had to be some other reason aside from messing with the sensors. Come on Sony, we're not dumb.

GG in court though hahaha they got owned hardcore.

They copied an idea but are making it available in what seems like a more limited functionality only to shoot back at Nintendo. Unless they have something substantialy new to offer with this whole "free movement" deal, they should not mess with it.

As has been proved by several other posters, the TV remote and the Dual Shocks new features are two completely different things.

Pay attention.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK.

You're still not listening.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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

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.

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

FUCKING LOL.

And I agree we should just call the PS3 controller the PS3 Controller or Dual Shock 3. No gimmicky name schemes, please.
