Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony NOT working on "break apart" Controller...something more?

Found this very interesting. There is enough rumors going around that I'm sure Sony is working on something...as they say, every rumor has a nugget of truth buried in it....Sound like you have some type of sensor on each hand and foot...to mimic actual body movement.  

I don't know what they're working on, but we'll probably hear something at E3.

Rumor: Details On Sony's Motion Controls, No "Break-Apart"

An anonymous industry source has told Kotaku that reports of a "break-apart" motion controller for the PlayStation 3 that splits into two parts are not entirely accurate.

The control system, said the source, actually consists of a smaller-sized device that can attach to the body - and multiple devices are intended to be used in concert, such as wearing two on the hands to move a character's hands in-game, or four, on hands and feet at the same time to move a character's body.

Though the source admits the technology might have evolved since the last time it was seen, the source disputes the idea that any of these pieces merge to form a single controller. It is also unclear how the individual pieces will be packaged, whether individually or in sets.

Sony declined to comment on "speculation."

Wait? I thought the PS3 already had comprehensive motion control?
That was planned from the start?
Not a late shoe-horned reactionary feature?



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Motion Capture?




ah that's a neat idea, having a sensor on your feet and hands.

E3 will be funny if both Microsoft and Sony announce motion controllers.




Thats a pretty cool idea, Im not much into this motion control thing but this sounds like Id actually try it out. I can already see myself going threw the Playstation Store 'minority report' style :P
