"I think you could do things with a built-in camera or a little motion sensitivity. You look at the Wii controller with less buttons - they added functionality by doing waggle. Not a lot of games use the waggle well, but Super Mario Galaxy for example uses it perfectly. Zak and Wiki uses it rather well,"

Coincidence? I think not

I reckon, Sony will also launch their control soon, it all seems too suspicious and logical that Star Wars The Force Unleashed will be launched at the end of the year....and probably make use of the "new" controlers as lightsabers....

yeah i know its for only a certain amount of games, but they are games I want to play, and that makes it bad to me.

My worst experience is playing through Metroid Prime 3, on the Wii, after about 1.5 hours of playing my right arm was just dead, in pain and I was forced to stop.

Its this that I dont like, and if motion controls are the way of the future, i hope companies give support to injured people, amputees, RSI, injured etc. As if it all moves that direction, they may have to just give up on games, and live on Super Nintendo games for the rest of their life.

Thats why i hope the 360 does not get it, as that means there is hope that motion is not the way of the future, and that we can enjoy games the way they always have been

is a much better design than this as you can actually use it as a traditional controller as well as a gimmick controller meaning casuals and hardcores only need to spend money on 1 controller whereas M$ make 2 completely different controllers forcing consumers to buy 2 controllers so they can make yet more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$, but this is M$ after all so we should have expected that!

With the support the Wii may be getting wi th games that could only be played on that console, Developers will turn their heads looking at the Xbox 360 with "HD" gleaming in their eyes. I guess what's not possible technically speaking on the Wii could be on the Xbox 360. Makes me think..what will Sony do?

Nintendo def has a certain market/niche to itself that MS is somewhat lacking, since it's Brand name is just not as strong as Nintendo and Sony per say. We say they need more 1st-party studios, well this could open the door + more. I still think they need more studios. Regardless.

Anyhow this makes me more excited about MS this E3, because this could open the hole for plenty new games and such. Like I said If True. If it is True, then this thing must be functional, none of that half-assed sh^t.

gah maybe, i still don't like the idea, Let sony and nintendo have that war.

I love M$, but if i wanted to play games by waving my arms around i'd buy a Wii. I don't. So i buy 5 360's.

I hope we still have the option to use the regular controllers because if Microsoft tries forcing this new controller on people that does not like it like they are doing with Vista then people will simply not buy it

Rumor of a Comfirmation!!!
Hahahahaha!
What a f00l thing

Were you can Stick this controller

Oh what the Hell
I cant hold back !!!

The New Xbox controller looks like a Dildo !!!!!!
Shove it up yer Ass Bots

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

Because i had Wii for a mounth and with XBOX 360 level of GFX it will be very fun to play party games.

Now all we need is that break apart controller

Though the original 360 controller will be used for probably 95% of games, I actually really like the thought of motion controls (done well) for a select few titles. Banjo would be a great game to launch this new controller.

Well, I for one, don't care if it looks like a wii-mote, as long as it's more accurate. If you think about it, the wii-mote is only a narrow TV remote shape. It's what people are comfortable with and it's easy to hold in your hand. I didn't expect it to look much different.

If this indeed is true...then I think for major titles that the controller works with.....Microsoft should eat the cost of the controller and have it packaged with the game. Outside of that.....my only other concern is that Wii has done a great job of staying a live with in-house/1st party games.........and I am not sure what Microsoft Gaming Studio has up their sleeves to keep it going.

best thing about it? the PS3 X button on the black version. ROFL!

http://www.motusgames.com/p...

this is all nonsense. motus is trying to make these things (only mockups, empty plastic cases) for PC and for consoles.

-I dont think my TV has room for 2 sensor bars...

I hope they come in assorted colors!

If true! I think its a great move for Microsoft and one which I'm sure Sony is taking an advanced interest in as well.

he is about to go thunder, Thunder, ThunderCats Hoooooo!!! and maybe some light saber action....interesting.

super fake... you can tell on the DPad which happens to be a trademark of Nintendo... the design of this control would be an obvious infringement... This is also goes against what they were saying about the 3D dash... I think if anything the new controller will not be shaped this way...

Motion controls are just not ready this gen. Their to unresponsive, and just suck. Main reason I hate the Wii. I hate when companies notice something is selling very good, that would be the Wii. Than they just run to make almost the exact same thing because they think people will just start to buy it like crazy. If Sony comes out with a new motion controller, I wont be buying one. I like good old standard ones. Oh, if this pic is real, Microsoft made the most ugly controller ever!

or does that thing bare more than a passing resemblence to a certain uhm, adult object.

DILDO!

Under the 6 DOF of link on the motus site. Under the title "how the wii works" they claim that the motion part of the wiimote works through the IR recievers and that if you get two far away then motions can't be picked. hmmm correct me if i'm wrong but the IR receivers is for pointing games not motion detecting. looks like someone didn't didnt do there home work

A dildo? How dare you guys? We tried to make it like a handle of a lightsaber.

I wonder how this will work?true the wii remote works through the sensor bar and the wii remote is bluetooth you cant do motion sensor with just bluetooth.So Ms will have to either have a sensor bar or something and then ontop of that will there be a add on kit of software update to enable this?Btw i doubt Ms will make this controller more responsive then nintendos.nintendo had 3 years to make this.the controller being their biggest innovation.Ms only having 1 year doesnt really make me feel like they well be as responsive.

The sensor bar picks up left right up down.....the wii remote has an image sensor in it which the wii's cpu calculates the distance of the remote to the sensor bar.
The sensor bar needs to be there when using the pointer(up down left right).the remote has the abiility to pick up slow forward backward controls but for fast forward/backward the wii remote uses the accelerometer sensors.

Its pretty complicated lol

although you wouldnt be able to play a shooter without the sensor bar but could in reality play a boxing game since its controlled through the accelerometer(picks up fast motion forward backwards) in the remote not the sensor,but the sensor does pick up slow backwards forwards motion.

Microsoft have no S T Y L E. Whos the designer? Fire him/her. Put some curve into that.

I like the whole motion control device idea. If it can be merged with high end graphics and HD audio now that would be innovating.

I really do not like what Nintendo did with the Wii. But if MS o Sony can expand on the concept and merge with next gen technology I am all for it..

for ms to beat the accuracy of the wii remote they would need a sensor that can pick up more then 300 signals per second which is where Nintendos sensor bar range is at.

It looks too much like the Wii, I hope sony's new controller at least has more buttons.

1) Usage on ported Wii games
2) Usage in upcoming 360 games

and-

to once and for all solve the problem with console based RTS with the Newton performing like a mouse.

holding it vertically like in that second pic is f*cking gay. wtf.

What a blatant ripoff of the Wii-mote. Can Microsoft be creative and make their own distinct interface? Why immitate Nintendo after even after they directly and indirectly mocked motion controls?

Could be good but then again it could be an atrocious flop. However i do not think MS will release a tool like this without a few gmaes supporting unlike the PS3 mo sens which is barely supported bar two average games.

... is too use to just poaching businesses and others ideas. Be original M$

About 50% is about the motion control with the Wii the rest is good marketing, low price point and friendly to all the family.

You don't see the Wii motion controller bing used for GOW2 to slice a alien in half? But you will on the XBORK. M$ just doesn't get it.

They want some of Nintendo market share but with a chain saw motion controller on GOW2!!!

the controller; if some games would use it, then go for it. Same with SONY. But where are all the fanboys that immediately claim that one company steals ideas from the other? Where are all the fanboys that claim the Wii to be garbage, or a "toy". Its funny how everyone how everyone becomes silent as soon as their console does it. But like i said, if it's fun, done well, and is well integrated, then I don't mind any new innovations at all.

ill agree with you there......people on here is are hypocrites.jealous people i suppose and to whoever said something about sony having more buttons..........that would be going against casual.

I like the videos of Lightsaber swinging in Lego Star Wars 2, and it looks very cool in Tiger Woods 2008. This may have potential afterall, check the videos...

That pic is really old, i have it on my site dated like 2 months ago or somthing

btw, its called Darwin not Newton

Reminded me of golf the way it was held. Tiger Woods 09 anyone?

Fake

It will be interesting how long it will take for people to realise that is a fad.

Motion gaming is very appealing to the general public but in reality, this Newton will turn out to be a gimmick just like the Wii.

Don't get me wrong but the Wii has some really neat games like SSB Brawl, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy. But that's it lol.

Also, about the comments saying this is stealing ideas from other game companies; economically and business-wise this is a very good opportunity for Microsoft. Since the Wii was selling like hotcakes since its launch due to its motion gaming eye candy, MS probably thought "Hell like I'm gonna miss out easy cash" and voila.

The Newton Controller.

...or does the Newton look like a white lightsabre?

looks good for fishing games : /

do any of your really want this? Itll probably be like 50 bucks with like three games that use it. THIS is what you have to show for E3?

With the new dildo 360, you can finally have some fun while your console is being repaired.

HEY DROIDS.....

:D

That thing is fugly!

To put it in simple terms:

DO NOT WANT

Sony was the fist one to use motion control, remember the ps2 i-toy? The ps3 is doing a break-apart controller not some stupid remote like the 360 doing a wii rip-off.Sony thinks outside the box.

The casual market is too big to be ignored.

No company can win without the casual trend consumer masses(PS2 hoged all of them last generation). The only thing that will save the Wii now is the console's brand name. Its the tech that is winning over the casuals, Nintendo must fear its competition doing motion better on a far more advanced multi media platform that will be around the same price.
