No, I have the feed again. Nothing too exciting goin on though. Right now it's EA kissing it's own ass.

LOL LOOK IT'S EMOTION ENGIN ALL OVER AGAIN!


Seriously though, it looked pretty cool.

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

Well his facial expressions looked impressive. I think this'll particularly be benefitial in RPGs...unless it's something that only EA has been able to tap into. Urgh and the EA game video montage needs to end.


OH YES SQUARE TIME!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

GOD FFXIII WAS PURE EYEGASMS!

I was speaking idiomatically.

RAIDEN LOOKED ALL SORTS OF KICK ASS! YES!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

OOOH CONTROLER TIME!

FELIPE NO

Oh God did they rip off Wii's functionality?

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

Wait so what the hell was that??? So it does what Wii's remotes do? It has a gyroscope sensor in it?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, ok, that is beyond fucking pethatic. I guess Nintendo was right about people stealing ideas.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah it only controls leaning because that's probebly all they could have done between the time Nintendo unveiled the Wiimote and now!

Because it IS. The only reason it's not completely the same is probebly because that's all they could have done between the time Nintendo showed the remote and now!

500-600$? Yeah, sure Sony. OK. You just fucked yourself over.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sony just crippled itself. I highly doubt most people will shell out 600 bucks for a gaming console.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I also can't get over how "tacked on" the Wii-esque function of the controler seemed!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just hope their hype + tacked on Wii rip off, won't hurt Nintendo cause they seem to be genuinly exploring all this 4D movement unlike Sony's after-thought like approach to it.

FELIPE NO

I'm not. Anything above 500 bucks is ridiculous. I'll gladly wait.

Um, it's a tacked on, after-thought like, shameless attempt to steal Nintendo's main offering this gen.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ditto. Suddenly PS3's bringing back flashbacks of when Saturn first hit the market...

The Wario Ware Twisted motion sensing capabilities on GBA are more advanced than this, this is funny shit.

SIX DEGREES OF MOVEMENT

I just hope people will be able to see through it. Because if they don't, it'll derail what can be an amazing new implication on gaming that Nintendo's cooking up...

I stress this.

My sentiments exactly.

I love how they reveal this to us after ranting on for like 20 minutes about their "NO GIMMIKZZZ WITH US" philosophy.

The only thing it can serve for is mess up what Wii has going for it by fooling the general public into going for the PS3, and thus, killing off Wii's attempt which seems infenantly better.

BTW what games are going to be out at launch?

The only reason they were vague about it is because it's probebly super limited as you suspected.

Woop dee doo. I'm pretty sure people will buy the PS3 for the games and the graphics. I really doubt that most will care about this new feature.

You guys really do bitch too much. It's a fucking videogame system. Why are you taking this shit so seriously? So, you think that the Wii has a better controller, wonderful. No need to whine and moan about the PS3.

I don't think you understand what I'm getting at. Sony's crappy controler can ruin what Wii's trying to do. Thus deny us a brand new gaming experience.

Why? It's not like anything Nintendo says will undo the likely fact that Sony ripped them off.

FELIPE NO

If the feature itself is as good and as fleshed out as Wii's then I wouldn't care. But as of now, it just seems like a cheap, cheap, quickly put together, inferior shot at Nintendo.

Quote:

Sony ripped them off by having a motion sensing controller? How so? Motion sensing controllers have been around on the PC for ages. They all suck as the learning curve for them is ridiculous. The controllers are not even remotely alike. Nintendo has their own design and way of doing things. Sony just added some axis control to their design. Neither of these controllers will be anything alike.

Yes but Nintendo's the first company to bring the feature into mainstream console gaming and make it worth the effort. It's just too peculiar that suddenly, Sony implements this feature now.

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.

Oh right, cause TV manufacturers, sans Sony, are in direct competition with Nintendo and offer products for the same exact use. =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Double Post:


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

IDEA THEFT OMG

Um, Nintendo's stated time and time again that their consoles are for gaming only. Even in the unlikely event that Wii's remote will function as a universal remote as well, (I don't know where the hell you got that from) it still barely taps into TV manufacturer's main offering. TVs!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
