As I have been following various articles about motion controller, I was about to cry when I saw this post. But after jumping to the EngineerTV link, it is indeed 3rd party controller and toward the end the designer said "currently for PC, and discussing with console manufactures", but no name of console mentioned. So this is just another 3rd party motion controller just like Darwin Motion Controller, or Freedom Motion Controller. All of them claims to have better tracking than Wiimote.
As someone else have already mentioned, this is no surprise because Wiimote is 2 year old technology. Anything coming from now on should be better than that technologically.
I used to own Wii, but because of its inaccuracy and latency I had to sell the system. But I really loved the idea of motion control. Being able to play Boxing Game just like a real boxing, or playing baseball like real baseball seem just fascinating.
To be honest, Wiimotion Plus, Darwin, Freedom, or Sixense, I believe will all provide close to 1:1 response. So question is which one will have the best games for it?
Most likely will be Wiimotion Plus as the periphery maker is also a game soft maker, but motion control in 360 or PS3 have potential because of its High Definition capability.
The one thing that I foresee in the future or would like to see is that as this is multiplatform generation,
- 3rd Party software developers to port Wii game to 360 or PS3.
Key here is that those motion controller companies to make their APIs compatible with WiiMotion Plus, or perhaps 3rd company can make an engine for it. So software company makes a game, and easily port out to other motion sensor. This might be the way to have the most number of game support at the beginning for those non-Wii Motion Plus controllers.
In the end, all I ask is I want to play realistic Motion games now!! Don't care which system it is, but they all have the release date in 2009..
