you must be very dum this is just hsowing you how they worck not the graphics dum as

Best conference I've seen yet. That motion controller is gonna change things in a great way. Very impressive

Edit: @ Dimitrius

You have to be joking about Microsoft having the best conference.... By no standard was it even close to what Sony had, I have an open mind, and while im excited for mass effect 2, Sony's conference was waaay better.

This is just a prototype like the guy demoing it said. It's not a Microsoft rip-off since they are building on tech that they already used for the PS2 (Microsoft is actually the eyetoy rip-off here).

Second they said that they used these controls for a purpose as they learned from PAST EXPERIENCE that motion is not everything! You need buttons too.

So there where Microsoft goes blatantly after the Wii audience (Just look at the cute fake family from their showing), Sony is actually showing the more deep and complex way to use motion controls.

Also this demo was live and showed the potential and acuracy of JUST a protoype. Microsoft showed nothing acurate, only big motions.

For those who said that Sony got desperate and showed this last minute, they didn't. As I recal (and maybe many of you might too) they have a patent with a picture of this that was shown 3 years ago.

As fore Nintendo, they are targeting a way different audience..........

I hate motion conrol casual gaming. And even though I'll probably never use this.........it looks like the first "hardcore" application of it. And it looks good.

God dammit, I can hear all the dildo jokes now. SMH!

I was amazed how accurate it was. And to think this is just a prototype. The finished thing must be amazing

I can't wait to play a first person shooter or action game with this controller. It is incredibly accurate.

nintendo blew everyone away with the wii when first announced, do you still play that

At best this thing was a shamble. Last minute was written all over it! Accuracy was nil. How many times was the guy trying to hit stuff? Tennis racket - no. Big baseball bat - no. Ok. Let's move on and try something else...

Piss Poor at it's finest! ROFL

for 30$ Im going to go pick it up right now.

This is a Natal/Wiimote hybrid. Natal is a bit more ambitious, taking it a step ABOVe the Sony motion contnrol. Natal elimiates the controller needed to create 1:1 *like what Sony is using*. While Natal does look the most prosperous, Sony's seems to.... just work.

This is very lame compared to Natal. Nelson and Krazy Ken where are you fools! Hahhahaa you got Owned to Oblivion! Hahahhahahaaa!

good to see they actually have a date for this as well!

It's a good thing i ended up with eye of judgement somehow...I wont need to buy a new ps eye.

sony's seems like it's the most useful for games.

Ps3 motion control is wiimote on steroid...is the perfection of the wiimote

My main problem with that is that you have to got a PlaystationEye. Couldn't they do a motion controller without PSeye? I know it's only a prototype, But just in a matter of consuming, the combo controller + PSeye would cost something around 40 and 60$, while Wiimote cost 20$.

If they manage to do that motion controller without PSeye, that would be great. But right now it seems a bit rough.

...go compare the tracking speed and then see if you change your mind. If Natal's tracking speed doesn't improve, it will be useless (and, to me, Natal's accuracy didn't look all that hot, either -- judging by the water swishing during the Milo demo.) This Sony technology, however, looks like a great balance between speed and accuracy. And being able to track a virtual item onto the "handle" as precisely as seen here is something I doubt Natal will be able to do, either.

This is better than Natal for one reason this will work with normal hardcore games. Can anyone here trying to play forca by moving your hands and feet. Trust me the camera won't pick up the detail. But with this you can still use a controllers (modified) and the PS3 controller will function as a right analgue stick. Persoanlly I think it's the best out of the 3 and I'll explain

Wiimote= Detects pointing at screen meaning not very good at turn, great for on the rails stuff.
Natal= We need buttons, we seriously do for the reaction times and the amount of stuff current game games require.
PS3 motion= Allows both a controller and stick which uses location detection not point at the screen detection this allows it to function as a right analogue but I wonder if sony will make it universal if they do natal will loose. Imagine playing COD 4 iwth it, turning quickly and being accurate. They should at shoulder buttons and a D-pad and have another controller with just the other shoulder buttons left anolgue and the rest, even better if it could function as normal controller to, so in other words it can be split.

WOW! look at how precise it is, much better then that new long ass camera thing that MS showed

Sony's motion tech seems like a midway point between Nintendo's Wiimote and MS's Natal.

Hybridization, if you will.

it looks like a BUZZ controller to me. maybe that BUZZ controller did helped them how to design the PSMC, isn't it? anyways, Go SONY!

I was impressed by Natal and think it will work integrated with a controller, used more for character interaction.

However Sony's looks the the all around best idea of the three, it seems like a lot of fun and u do need some sort of peripheral in ur hand I think vs just mimicking a sword or gun in the air. and yes def buttons seem necessary for shooters to me

its super sucks big time!..look like a kid toys with glowing colors..if i where sony i feel embarrass infront of natal motion controller

I love the tech specially how precise and responsive it is however they need a MUCH better looking case for it. Well the guy did stress that it's no the final look.

you need to be in good shape to beat the game swing and blocking.
sword to body hit is so accurate.

Sorry but this is lame.

Take your PS3 fanaticism away and be real.

The same thing can be done on 360 Natal the funny part is can this do the same thing as Natal? NO CONTROL IN HAND.

This did look pretty fun but it seems to be an improved wiimote tbh. All it is, is two wiimotes with improved accuracy. probably end up like the wii, a stuipid gimmick. natal looks a lot more promising and fun because there are just so many more possibilities than two glorified wiimotes.

this is really REALLY awesome!
the only thing i ask for is SUPPORT!!!!!!!!
dont let it hang like the PS eye

Next year release plus you have to use it with the eyecamera.

Sheez. Very disappointed.

The Sixense controller which was demoed a year ago...

http://sixense.com/

.... does all of this. The controller even looks amazing.

Why the frack didn't Sony simply negotiate with the sixense developers to use and rebrand their remote as the new play-mote? They they could have announced the playmote as the new controller for release this year and fully usable with MAG and.... and BC with older games because the sixence operates in pairs and each controller retains the analog stick.

Best E3 ever. Not this year.

BTW. Project Natal is awesome but is not the immediate future of controllers but more an accessory. Also, MS was lucky when they saw the demo of Halo and the Mac World Convention, saw the potential of the game and bought out Bungie. Sony, should have seen the potential of this remote and work out a deal to bring it to the Ps3 asap instead of wasting money developing their own tech.

Wow! I never thought I was going to be interested in this technology but it Rocks!!!

When I first read about this, I was not very excited. I thought it was a stupid, gimmicky idea. However, watching that presentation has totally changed my mind. One thing they said stood out to me, and is what I think separates this from Natal - they said one of the things they learned from the EyeToy is that some applications need buttons. So very, very true.

motion controls are just gimmicks to me, i honestly don't have much desire to use them whether they have buttons or not

Id love to see sony do a sword play game with that controller. I do fencing and it'd be cool to be able to practise in my own home (as using a saber inside would probably not be soog for the interior =P)

so yeah Im more excited for sonys thing right now.

But the future really lies with both natal and sonys thing merged toghether. The accuracy of the controller, and MS's tech which can sens every bit of your body and know what it is.

so sonys stuff is for shooting, buttons, hand movements, and MS is for your body in general.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
