Microsoft Confirms Motion Controller with Strong Denials?

Kombo Writes: "Last night, it appeared that Microsoft was definitely going to be introducing their motion controller at E3. During a Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts video walkthrough, Ken Lobb accidentally made reference to motion based gameplay elements. Of course, Microsoft was quick to the punch and shot that rumor down. However, this is where things got a little peculiar."

Its pretty inevitable they're going to introduce one, this just backs the case up even more.

VegaShinra6519d ago

I agree with you. I think MS wants to try to keep it a secret. No reason to come out so strong if it is completely fake.

Depends which version of the rumors you wan't to believe. MSFT is shooting down rumors about the Motion control related to Banjo and Rare's involvment. There are Rumors about MSFT developing Motion tech in general.

From the little I read MSFT has denied the Rare/Banjo Motion rumors not the basic tech/controller rumors.

Versions of the rumor:

1) Rare is going to develope the Motion for MSFT and will be launched with Banjo which the game was supposedly going to pioneer the tech on the platform.

2) MSFT is going to launch motion...

One version of the rumor was denied, this post is ridiculous MSFT doesn't have to be trying to trick the industry with the motion issue, they can still launch their version of motion and it can still have nothing to do with Banjo.

Poor Xbots, I remembered Poor Xbots saying they dont need motion sensing. Poor Xbots, that's what M$ gets for still using last gen content, such as using batteries, no motion sensing, and last gen format drive. Poor Xbots, stop being ignorant.

Poor Xbots

and the only thing to cure that fever is angelitos using the term xbot more. It's actually impressive how many times he tried to fit it into his lame comment.

Poor Xbot JOLLY1

Poor Xbot JOLLY1, stop being ignorant and play beyond with a PS3. Poor Xbot JOLLY1, I dont want you to cry now and beyond (I fell bad if you you cried already in the past) with a fixme dvd player. Poor Xbot JOLLY1, there is so much negative points about the fixme dvd player, I just don't undertsand why anybody support it. Such as horrible customer service and system, M$ wants you to pay for everything, last gen features, pay to play online, and the list goes on and on.

Poor Xbots

Um...you guys use droid and Sony leg humpers so it's only fair that the favor is returned? xD

Shroomy6519d ago

What about Shroomy? :( Can I be an Xbot too pretty please!

On topic: If motion controller is true, I hope future titles incorporate both the standard and motion controller, not just one or the other. I wouldn't jump on the motion control bandwagon just yet.

JOLLY16519d ago

I don't use any of those. Sorry about your luck.

Bladestar6519d ago

juuken don't forget Sony Hermaphrodites... one of the wonders of the cell... when are you planning to conceive your own little Sonito leg humper?

Oh Microsoft, out with it already! You're creating a motion controller and you're implementing bluray! The temptation is too great!

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

DivineHand12524d ago (Edited 24d ago )

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