PlayStation Motion Controller Slated for Spring 2010

That really doesn't look like much of a step up from what the Wii has going on to me. Natal, however, I think has the potential to be something really special. Imagine some of those gimmicky /adverts/ for the Wii that we've all seen, but as an actual reality. You know the ones... a group of suspicious-looking young dudes that you just /know/ don't really play video games... all ducking and diving around and shit, using the couch for cover as if it makes any difference to the Wii's motion controls.

If Natal could really make that idea a reality - say in the case of an FPS - where you could be aiming into the screen with your outstretched arms and your little "pew pew" gun that you've just made with a few fingers, tilting your head from side to side to peer out from behind corners, getting down low to crouch behind crates etc...

I can barely imagine it at the moment, but if they could really pull anything like that off, and still have the real GAMES behind the gimmicks to make it all worthwhile... fuck me.

I think in order for these types of things to succeed, someone is going to have to make it work in a FPS(really, ALL fps) and, this part is the key...to make it work BETTER than kb/mouse. Untill someone does that, it's just a useless gimmick.

This would also be the ONE and only way that consoles would become better for fps's. ;)
(they'd still lose on detail/custom content tho)

if i wanted a motion controller i probably would have bought a wii... oh shit i did and it collects dust

i heard a rumour that in the next god of war, in addtion to quick time events you will have to waggle the controller. also i heard from a reputable source that they're going to have a tablet peripheral so while your QTEing and waggling in god of war you also have to perform stylus swipes on the touch screen

Just please make a game where we can use a light saber in true 1:1 fashion. Even being able to raise my hand and do force pushes in the direction I point would rock.

Nearly 4 years ago Sony and Microsoft laughed at the Wii. Then the Wii came out and they chuckled amusingly at how fast it initially sold. Then their chuckles turned to insults when they said the Wii shouldn't be included in next gen hardware.

Now, 4 years later, they're trying to replicate the Wii's success in their own ways. Welcome to the party Sony and MS, you're a few years late and already missed the big boat. Have fun picking up scraps.

I just hope they gave a line up of NON Casual games.

Show me good games for it and I'll bite.

hmmmm.... so.... what kind of game, and i mean good, quality (not a load of mini games) game could you use this with?
