Rumor: Ken Lobb Confirms Motion Controller for 360?

Kombo Reports :"In a walkthrough video of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Lobb clearly states at the 4 minute mark: "So you basically grab with the wrench, and then you twist the controller around."

Nice. Banjo Kazooie with motion should certainly make things interesting

I had to REPEAT it..

Just Awesome if somehow this is True and is pulled off..

I really liked Mario Galaxy with the control scheme, it made it well Fun!! for a platformer.

By the way that first Banjo shot is just lovely. I'm willing to bet if this is true, that being the first game with the motion control remote would do very well just out of Interest.

socomnick6540d ago

Vitz Sony does this too how many skus has the ps3 had so far ? 5 ? 6. How many different controllers have they ran through 2 ?. The only company that isnt doing this is the wii.

Bzone246540d ago

"except they're segmenting their market even further. HDD vs none, Silver vs Gold, HDMI vs none, Elite 120GB vs 20GB (for HD movies), working consoles vs broken ones."

I know what you mean. It's kinda like DualShock 3 vs sixaxis, backward ps2 compatiblility vs no b/c, Games with trophies vs Games without trophies, working firmware vs non working firmware...

kewlkat0076540d ago (Edited 6540d ago )

can't you see how todays technology and Market is changing the way the competition is fought amongst the heavy weights in the Gaming industry?

YES!! I agree back in the day, there was no HDTV or much Online gaming so pretty much you made one SKU and that is what people bought.

Now that we have emerging technologies like HDTVS, Stiffer Competition, Online Gaming, Cheaper HDDs(the new tend), console manufacturers can't be stale, so they are gonna offer or at least try to offer the latest technology as it changes. Of course while keeping the price low.(Why for the SKU's)

Your referring to Nintendo but Look at Nintendo now, they finally added Online multi-player(has issues) and they are trying to come up with a HDD scenario for the Wii.

MS added HDMI connection for gamers with HDTV's. On the other hand Sony has always taken a risk with the cutting edge hardware, hey even Rumble is back by Popular Demands.

Things change when there is a market for it and right now, I think everyone wants a "play" at the market for some share. It's stiffer so they have to keep up.

Damn Bzone24 just laid the smackdown on your candy coated ass! That was a good comment to counter vitz3. bubbles for bzone24

xhairs96540d ago

THATS SO DAMNED GAME DEFYING!!!

Too bad they're the last ones to use the technology...

Silver3606540d ago

would probably be include with the game.

I figured like most you have your reasons why you came to such conclusions on your first post, so I tried to reason with my comment #1.5.

Then I looked at your profile, well, now it all makes sense now. Spend way too much time hating..

You seem angry, calm down will ya..

"How would I feel if I bought a 360 one day and a week later a bundle with a motion controller came packed in for the same price?"

-Well I see no difference with the PS3 and DS3, you want rumble you pay $50 for the controller.

-If true, then if you wanna play Motion Sensing Games just pay for the controller, well you still would have to buy the game anyhow.

avacadosnorkel6540d ago

Sixaxis is also in the Dualshock 3 genius.

Bzone246540d ago

That comment was more about rumble genius.

That sounds like it pretty much confirms it.

Superfragilistic6540d ago

Yeah and what makes it worse is he keeps making excuses for why there's not any button prompts (particularly in the Banjo Land walkthrough!) and yet everything still works.

And they said there was no waggle... lol

Either way, can't wait for this and LBP! :)

Superfragilistic6540d ago

Just to add to what I said above.

Check out this video of Banjo Land http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/... and then try and explain why things are working without button prompts?!

Dark_Vendetta6540d ago

I don't know. At the beginning in the car builder modus there were all button that are on the normal controller. Still hope they announce anything like that, not just a Sixaxis similar one

projectile6540d ago

I don't really see why you say its motion controlled? The camera and all seems to be moved by the right stick. At 0:36 a menu comes up and it shows start/back left/right trigger, d-pad. I don't see any indication of a motion controller.
Could you clarify? I think it would be cool with motion control, but cant see any in banjo :/

Sort of an oxymoron saying that it is a rumor that is confirming something.

Still he could just mean the analog stick. That does sound suspicious though.

Nevers6540d ago

I had to laugh at an article titled -

RUMOR: blah-blah-blah CONFIRMED (and then they end it all with a "?")

The hell does that mean? The absolute nonsense that gets approved on this site is baffling...

n00bzRtehgey6540d ago

(it actually works) and...... WITH rumble! WOW!

DontH8DPlayaH8DConsl6540d ago (Edited 6540d ago )

and there is more then 3 games that have rumble and motion controls on the THREE!

Edit: Oh yeah I guess its our turn: hugh...humh...motion controls three years later this should've been a day one feature out of the box! 360 just now getting features the THREE launched with.../sprints back to the PS3 section\

DaddyDC6506540d ago (Edited 6540d ago )

the 60GB 360 console also comes with a motion controller. Of course I would still want the standard wireless controller btw.

GiantEnemyCrab6540d ago

just as long as they keep the standard controller in there as well.

Bnet3436540d ago

The game will probably come with the controller

I want a new Perfect Dark, Banjo and Jet Force Gemini.

Bathyj2109d ago

I actually don't want them. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft rehashing IPs they had nothing to do with creating just because they happen to own them.

Before you call me fanboy tell me a game they did that to that actually lives up the the original?

Just leave our beloved memories alone. You want to bring something back, redo crimson Skies or Brute Force. At least they were your games and they need updates.

gamer78042109d ago

I'm all for The Initiative rebooting perfect dark as a third person though, sounds like its trying something new and not just rehashing with a new coat of paint with this idea. Hope we see a tease of it in the next showcase.

gamer78042109d ago

Rumor is The Initiative is working on rebooting Perfect Dark in third person, normally I wasn't a fan of taking existing IPs but if its something new like this I'm up for it.

jznrpg2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

Don’t give them the Battletoads treatment .

TravsVoid2109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

Donkey Kong Country is probably my favorite game of all time but I've not connected with much else Rareware has made since other than maybe Killer Instinct. Sea of Thieves has got to be close to my worst $60 purchase I've ever made.

sagapo2109d ago

Viva pinata was kinda fun imo.

Don't bother. 10 pages to click through and all of them written very poorly

Relientk772507d ago

Ugh Musashi: Samurai Legend is so meh. Don't understand how you can go from Brave Fencer Musashi to that. I really want a Brave Fencer Musashi HD Remake or a true sequel. It's one of the best games I've ever played.

I actually liked it for what it was. But then again I'm not a Banjo fan. I actually hated a lot of the N64 style games that all followed the same Mario 64 style. Except for Conker.

IRetrouk2523d ago

I really enjoyed this game, the building was fun, I thought it was a well made platformer.

Vits2523d ago (Edited 2523d ago )

I kind of agree. The game had many new ideas that would have worked better in a new IP as people wouldn't be so upset that Nuts & Bolts played so differently from the older titles.

PhoenixUp2523d ago

I seriously hate how angular the redesigns are for so many of the characters in the game

The X06 trailer built people’s hopes only for the final release to ruin those dreams

-Foxtrot2523d ago

Damn right it should have

Can we just get Banjo Threeie and write this game off as Kazooies bad dream or something. An in game joke.
