tracking algorithm after the ball is much easy to create than others objects.

I'm betting they are working on it to get it looking nice an not over size or have a hug light ball of doom (My making bugs come to your PS3 an some people might be blinded by it, so please as your Doc if PS Control is right for you)

Does it do ball in a cup..hehe

the same type of ball's that they use to track the motion of the actors for computer games. If you've ever watch how they do it they have people all in black with white balls all over them so they can capture the full body movements of the actors.

If you want it to have 1:1 ratio of motion you need the ball.

So, Agent or GTA 5 first;).

@blackcanary

I never thought about it like that, it makes alot of sense

Looking forward to seeing what software they can come up with to go with the 'wands', the E3 demo showed some very interesting possibilities and includeing buttons/analogue stick on them means you can have complex interaction with the game. Personally I like the balls would be cool if they glowed !

In the words of immortal Beavis : BOOOOIIINNGGG!!!

Looks like people will have a ball with this tech!

about what Quantic Dream will be doing with Heavy Rain now that's its a 2010 title for everywhere except EU I think.

They could polish the game and add the motion controls between now and release.

...just wondering, cause there's something else devs can bltch about

If the controller ends up being pretty much a separated dual shock, with the glowy balls on the end, I'll be on board. Having the analogue control plus motion support = kick ass FPS.

allthough it does look good i dont think it will save the ps3 this gen as its image from the halcyon days of ps1/2 has been seriously tarnished and the fickle joe public has moved on to wii and the 360 espicially in the worlds number1 market the usa.i think this is a last roll of the dice for playstation to regain its former glory combined with a hefty price cut and sonys achilies heel marketing it has an outside chance of success but i think its too little too late.next gen sony will have to have all the peices from THE BEGINNING

i think it comes down to what is more useful and ps3 motion seems to have that down buy a mile and to be the first out of M$ and Sony to get out the gate with this will be a really good thing for them.
just as long as they dont alienate the hardcore community and target casual games. but with my hard drive space and my friends and girlfriend love for the wii. Ps3 could be taking the only position in my living room.

I'm ok with this design. Probably not pretty (specially with purple glowing lights) but the joystick grip will probably feel better than the remote grip in Wiimote. The ball can get smaller I guess.

I see the potential in those motion controls, but I still don't care. So far, much thanks to Wii, I didn't have seen why this kind of control is more worthy my time than my usual pads.

Now I'm getting excited. If they keep this design, these things will kick major arse. Imagine playing Killzone 2 with this...
