Renewed Motion Controller design shown at TGS 09

PS3-Sense writes: It was pretty obvious that when the Motion Controller was first shown during E3 2009 it wasn't the final design. But the controller showed during presentations at the Tokyo GameShow 2009 probably is. PS3-Sense compared the two designs, and click the link below to see what the differences are.

Second controller with analogue stick on the way I hope.

renegade6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

I hope . Is difficult to have the ds3 at the same time as i seen in re5 demostration of the motion controller.

DominusRebellis6086d ago

That things looks sort of like a.....

dirthurts6086d ago

That you still had to use the ps3 controller in the left hand...
or at least so far. I know it's still in prototype stage.

shadow27976086d ago

There should only be one controller, and it should have an analogue stick. When using two then you would have two analogue sticks. And that way you're not stuck with a useless nun-chuck on games that don't need it. Owning two would allow you to do multiplayer or single player (like the bow and arrow demo).

You could also do FPS games and other games with one controller. Move with the stick (using your thumb), and turn by turning the controller. You could do co-op 3d games (instead of co-op on rails aka shooting galleries).

That would be the smart thing to do. But, at the very least, there does need to be an analogue peripheral. Holding a D3 and a motion controller is not acceptable. It would be nice if there weren't a ton of accessories for this, so I prefer my original idea. Hopefully Sony will be smart about this.

RememberThe3576086d ago

On stage at TGS they were using both the dualshock in one hand and the motion controller in the other. But I don't think it was confirmed that you will need it to play or if they will have something else to use. Seemed to me that you'll just have to use the dualshoack sometimes.

Aquarius6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

Everyone, I don't care, that says its a dildo are not using their head straight or is a 360 only owner being spiteful. The Wands do not look like a dildo. How ironic, I just called it wands first and foremost. I hope its called that :)

How the hell is the top of the wand i.e. (ORB) shaped like a dildo? Is the tip of a dildo shaped like that? You know a man's...
ANS=NO.

The only thing that needs adjusting now, is to remove that pink filter and change that central button into an analougue stick ( >>>a pop-up one?<<< ) because game development will most likely be put on a halt.

mastiffchild6086d ago

The DS3 looks amateur, isn't comfy, would be too awwgward for kids to use and only has the adcantage of being the cheap option, imo.

If they want this to be successful they'll need something else with an analogue stick I'm afraid as the DS3 isn't going to appeal as the secong controller-why choose to use it as one of a pair when you can use it on it's own in the way it was meant to be used anyway? Ninchick or similar is desperately needed and Sony's comments about this being a cheap option worry me no end and if the DS is their only option I fear all the R&D for their wands will be wasted.

Thing is there's literally loads of different Wii nunchucks made by third party controller designers which cost US peanuts so why haven't Sony knocked smething up to hold the analogue if they wanted one? Would be so easy and the fact they haven't makes me think the DS might be their real anwer to the problem and it makes their MC scheme the least attractive if this is the case-can't believe this is a problem being talked about as it's so obvious this isn't a goer that Sony must be blind if they really think it's the best way-why even show someone using the DS3?

None of this makes any sense and I'd hoped that Sony would've said what they were doing after the press asked about the DS3 thing but they didn't hace much if an answer which makes me think there may not be another one at all. Unbelievable, but with nothing else to show or even mentioned what are we meant to imagine?

danthegardner6086d ago

They should just make a motion controller with 2 shoulder buttons an analog stick and 4 face buttons. If you use 2 of them you could play any other ps3 game. It would be like a dualshock split in two.

whoelse6086d ago

I think the first one looks better.

DaTruth6086d ago

They should put everything that is on the DS3, on the wand. That means there should be one with face buttons and one with D-pad(or face buttons D-pad combination) They should put a trigger on each and a shoulder button. They can drop the D-pad at best OR the shoulder button, but that is the most stripped down it can be.

This is the only way to make it hardcore compatible!

Highwayman6085d ago

Aquarius.

Apparently you haven't seen many dildos, have you?

I'm not fond of it's design, but I am excited as far as the technology goes for this particular motion control system.

DominusRebellis6085d ago

as long as it has good vibration I think it'll get my girlfriend to spend time with me when I game on

beardpapa6085d ago

My friend and I went shopping and we stopped by Brookstone. We both came upon this product

http://www.brookstone.com/c...

Now if you saw it in person, the shape and design of it plus the pink tip looks very very much like a d___o. It even has three vibration settings and is waterproof. Anyway, she bought one for laughs.

WenisWagon6085d ago

I think the pink ball at the end is the part that vibrates.

MEsoJD6085d ago

Yeah they market as a massager but we all know what its intended purpose is.

HolyOrangeCows6085d ago

It NEEDS a control stick for the experiences I want in a motion controlled game.

Electricear6085d ago

because there is a major feature missing, a wrist strap. Far to many TV's, doors, windows, lamps and people got mauled when wii motes slipped out of a sweaty hand. Neither of these designs show wrist straps, thus I have trouble believing they are the final design, but it does look like the newer design is closer to a production model.

bobdog6266085d ago

And you guy's know it .Sony don't put this Thing out until you get it Right.Put all your Best people on this and make it work.This is not the Best you can do.PS3 Slim should show you guys the Right way to do thing's this gen not this.

f7897906085d ago

Looks like some exotic vibrator.

YogiBear6085d ago

I think they should do away with the motion control project completely.

The shorter one looks a lot better then the "finalised" version. It even had a smaller sphere!

The new one looks better shaped.

Foxgod6086d ago

O yeah, surely doesnt look like a dildo anymore -_-

I remember all the people on n4g screaming, ITS ONLY A PROTOTYPE.
No more prototype, and still a dildo.

At least Natal is awesome, cuz you are the controller, instead of having a dildo peripheral.

XxBarretxX6086d ago

i am not a fanboy as i own both consoles but natal is pure casual. No buttons to switch things such as grenades or anytihng as well as some terrible lag as shown in the latest videos. Sorry but Natal will fail

Foxgod6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

If it will, it still wont fail as hard as the sony dildo.
Cuz at least Natal got people like Kojima backing it.

You dont see Kojima talking how bad he wants to get his hands on the sony dildo.

Panthers6086d ago

They will both fail. Both are trying to play catch up to the Wii which is dumb. If I want motion control, I will get the Wii, which I dont.

Foxgod6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

The wii doesnt have kojima ;)

Or Peter Molyneux

Natal got the masterminds backing it.
So if theres any system that got a chance for success, then its the system that got the great minds backing it.

@below
Kojima and Molyneux are not responsible for RROD you know....
They are responsible for games.
So plz come with something relevant next time, youre just trowing random rambling my way.

And youre tired of the sexual references?
Then send an angry letter to Sony, they designed it like that, its design is massive fail.
And if you cant draw a line between the wand and a dildo, then you must be the most asexual gamer ever.

Serg6086d ago

What's your sudden obsession with Kojima? He was all over the Wii before it came out, was so eager to make a game for it, nothing happened to this day. So, how exactly is he backing it? By saying he likes it?

Molyneux is a moron, he disappoints everytime he opens his mouth. He puts out decent games but tries to sell them as gods gift to gamers. Black and White was disappointing, not because it sucked, but because it didn't deliver half the stuff Molyneux has promised. The first Fable sucked bad, but Mr Molyneux said it was the best RPG ever! It couldn't hold a candle to the Gothic series. No open world, the moral choice system was incomplete, some Monsters could keep you on the ground until you die, no chance to get up. It was an avarage game, but not that god sent holy grail of RPG goodness he promised. And he just can't shut his mouth, "Milo is like a real boy", yeah right Mr Overpromise, I believe you now, after countless lies I truly feel you got it right this time.

Foliage6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

With Natal YOU are the dildo. You are a dildo without a cause, since the only time an xbot will ever get near a vagina in their lives was when they dropped out of their mom.

Veneno6086d ago

Seems to know all about the dildos. Does it look like the one in your dresser drawer, foxgod?

Microsoft_Spokesman6086d ago

Foxgod is just excited to rape Milo.

Erotic Sheep6085d ago (Edited 6085d ago )

Oh ok Foxgod, so you've been claiming for ages how MGS4 sucks and how its just a movie. But now that Kojima is working for Natal, you suddenly praise him?

GTFO NOOB

Are you anticipating Gay Tony's release Foxgod?

Panthers6086d ago

I havent kept up with this, but why is there a ball on it? It looks so dumb.

somedude58926086d ago

The ball is part of the sensor to track your hand's movement if I remember right. But yea it dose look kinda dumb.

Sunny_D6086d ago

In the developer's video, It was talking about how the ball changes color to indicate the target on screen. For example, If the target was red, the ball would light up red indicating attack the red enemy. If the enemy is green, the ball would light up green to indicate attacking green.

spectyre6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

but I guess that is what is tracked by the PSEye. Accelerometers and gyroscopes will be used to determine how the controller is turned and moved but the ball is used to determine where the controller is located in a 3d space.
The color changing led's are just an added bonus.

As I said, it looks kind of dumb, but it is the main reason the controller is as accurate as it is, so I guess I will live with it.

DaTruth6086d ago

Who cares what it looks like???

Are you taking it to the club?

Just let it play right!

kwyjibo6085d ago

The ball is there so the camera has a focus point to detect depth. Knowing that the ball is a constant size allows the machine to calculate how far away it is from the camera.

Yep, really dose look like a dildo. I will be getting one for my GF when is comes out. This is going to be better than the Wii-Brator!

Chubear6086d ago (Edited 6086d ago )

If that's the kind of gifts you get your "GF" then I truly feel sorry for her being with you... but then again, she's with you so she probably deserves all she gets.

somedude58926086d ago

lol... I'm kidding really. That would be messed up if I did that. I would feel sorry for her too. haha :P

SeanScythe6086d ago

But if she asked you for one I bet you would be more then happy to get it for her.

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.

solideagle27d 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

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

S2Killinit35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199235d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga35d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box35d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion34d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7235d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

Lightning7735d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
