Sony Developing "Transformer" Controller, Video Service by E3

ScrawlFX writes: "The July 2008 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly has some interesting rumors this time around. One of those rumors is that Sony Computer Entertainment are working on a peripheral for the PLAYSTATION 3 that "transforms" into different things, one being perfect for an FPS. It's hard to picture how that would work".

Sony once again pushes innovation to the next level. Dark Sniper will surely be purchasing this peripheral as he supports all of the accessories that has enhanced his PLAYSTATION®3 gaming to the fullest.

Michael Bay, welcome to Next Generation. As you see, it started when Sony said so.

$niper

pwnsause6562d ago

innovation, at its finest, not like the other company who buys their concepts, rofl

MrWonderful6562d ago (Edited 6562d ago )

This is only achievable with the power of the ps3. now if i can use the sixaxis to control an army of these bad boys.

LenHart6562d ago

hmmm interesting.... im surprised nobody thought of that before... this could be great!!

Breakfast6562d ago (Edited 6562d ago )

I know right!!

...i cant wait to turn my ps3 controller, into an xbox controller.

I love how innovative Sony is :)

INehalemEXI6562d ago (Edited 6562d ago )

BAck in April I came up with a concept of what I would want in a Sony Motion controller.

It was a 2 hander held like a 2 hand sword but could also be split apart and used as like 2 (dual wield) swords. I called it the ZwiehanderXS.

The inspiration came from playing with the wii mote and sometimes wanting to have 2 hands on the wii mote in a sword play game.

This Transforming controller sounds killer.

thePatriot6562d ago

at time that thing is just a bit too small for me.

pharmd6562d ago

lol, that was funny, but definitely true for some

yesah6562d ago

if this is true sony will have the best controller hands down.

But then again, im sure the other companies will catch on.

jtucker786562d ago

I'm not sure about this. I don't know if us Sony owners want a gimicky controller.

A controller that sounds brilliant and you think will revolutionise gaming, but when you actually try it it turns out that it doesn't work as well as you thought it would.

I don't want that happening to me twice this generation.

jjfunaz6562d ago

I know. The let down of the sixasis was enough for me this gen as well.

Now this I can't wait to see.

The Genius has spoken.

TheHater6562d ago

if this is true, then I don't see people complaining anymore about the controller. I personally don't really care, but I will get it for the hell of it. I hope it true.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7717d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy24d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7725d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga25d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga25d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger25d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box25d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion24d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7225d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7525d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7725d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
