That looks like sh*t. I hope the final design is way different than those concept images.

anh_duong6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

it's a patent. the patent tries it hardest to disguise the look but ar least retain the key features of the device.

just look at the dualshock controller to see how basic it is.

the real design will not look like a dildo with a ping pong ball attached onto the end of it.

dro6424d ago

it looks like a sex toy..... XD

hay6424d ago

@plain rice: the guy on the pics looks like a sh*t too and that doesn't mean anyone who'll use the controler will look like that.
It's just patent.

@anh_duong: lol.

Actually this might be cool. But still, as I can see it needs PS3 eye.
That full controler faceplate is intriguing. I just hope it'll come in two-piece set to assemble full gamepad or this double-dildo-something thing.

It seem to work through wifi so the only limit how many controlers may be used is software.

Fig 14B makes me think it'll have such ball attached to the pad. There are some kind of sensors/marks which will be recognized by PS3 Eye(speculation). However that ultrasound and camera on 19b made me doubt in my previous statement.

Anyways, can't wait to see it in action. No, not dildo action...

When separated, each piece looks like a penis, it's like holding a penis in your hand...
One thing for sure, single ladies will appreciate this more than a Wii mote.

Come on Sony, I am sure you could do better than that.

all FPS to support mouse and keyboard, but I guess that is down to the devs and not Sony as they already allow it.

himdeel6424d ago

...and think the keyboard/mouse option for all FPS would bring a lot of PC FPS enthusiast to the table to break bread.

I couldn't imagine that, there must be something better than 30 year old PC periphals for playing games on modern consoles.

Beast_Master6424d ago

Yes your right! There is nothing better than sitting on my giant leather couch in front of my 60 inch plasma, with a giant key board on my lap and using a mouse that has to sit on a piece of wood/or magazine, next to me. This is the vision of the future! /sarcasm

You PC gamers need to get your heads out of your collective a$$es and give a better solution than a mouse and keyboard. Most of us don't want to be confined to a desk by ourselves in a corner of the house to play games on. Hell some of us even like to be able to play a game with these things called "Friends". And sometimes our mates or "girlfriends" like to watch or play games with us.

...There's mouse support for UT III, and you can tell you plays with what when you get headshot while jumping from a vehicle into cover.

Looks like what ever it will be, it'l invole the PSeye, even though I think the PSeye is enough to capture some casual market, put it in a bundle with LBP and eye of judgment and Mums across the country would snap it up!

Fishy Fingers6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

Strange looking.

Nineball21126424d ago

Yeah, it kind of scares me. o_O

Mr_Bun6424d ago

I'm not a big fan of the 'ball' on the end of each controller...or the 'removable' faceplates.

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi6424d ago

Well Micro$oft have a Falling apart Console i.e the xBox 360!!! ;-D

Mr_Bun6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

LMAO...You are a riot! ;)

Bubbles!!!

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi6424d ago

Bubbles for er erm God you got a lot!!!;) Bubbles for you and ALL PS3 Fans on this;)

GiantEnemyLobster6424d ago

Hmm, this looks strikingly similar to the Wii controller scheme.. nice try Sony.

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.

solideagle34d 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

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.

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.

Soy41d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

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