I understand the OP's point; If you hated or hate motion controls before, why is it now motion is cool when your console of choice implements it? He's basically calling out the fanboys.

The main reason I (im sure many others) dont like the Wii motion control was that it was way too imprecise and the quality of games were not up to par as the PS3 or the 360.

both of the montion control systems sony and ms showed is not just a copy, but a vast improvement in this technology!
there is a big difference


this is awesome took the words right out of my mouth.

haha, you know the responses here are proving the OP to be SO CORRECT. I'm done with most human beings since they don't seem to be born with half a brain anymore. De-evolution at it's pinnacle.

Sure. Which games were implemented imprecisely? Surely not Wii Sports or Prime 3. Also what games shown with Natal or Purple mic showed either to be superior to the Wii-mote?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Well buying motion control for the console you already have looks cheaper to me than buying another console you may be a little jealous off.



Would anyone else like to see God of War 3 with Sony motion control?
I mean those things wouldn't be dildos, more like blades of Chaos

both natal and the sony remote look far superior to the wii remote but i dont think they will attract any hardcore gamers with things like that and i think wii already has got most of the casual gamers

As a mini game ...

... absolutely

But just let me play the game as games were meant to be played for the last two decades



The only real flaw with both (I will assume they will work as advertised, I'd be surprised if they didn't) is that it's too late. If they're laying the ground work for the next gen, then it's a good game plan. Work the kinks out now. But to think either will be a game changer, I think it's impossible. Nintendo kind of understood that. I mean the remote was originally a GC add on, but they knew to wait. Or took the chance, and it paid off. And they made it the man input device to control games on their new system.

Both MS and Sony's new controls have potential, but they'll rely too much on third parties who aren't big on risks. So I don't think we'll see much in the way of epic gaming. Next gen, if both companies bring these new devices over to their new systems, then it'll be interesting to see.

 

As for all the HD fanboys you mention ... you're right, where are they? First all this talk of Nintendo killing gaming, and "God I hope MS doesn't get into motion control!" I hear nothing about the end of gaming now. All I hear is "360 will outsell Wii!" Hmm.

I'm have to say that I am HUGELY dissapointed with both MS and Sony for their motion peripherals.

I mean, both MS and Sony admitted defeat to Nintendo at this point...but this garbage???

After seeing both Project Natal and PS3's little mic thing in "action", both look beyond fraud to me. The most amazing thing is how a short two days ago EVERY SINGLE one of you HD fanboys were up Nintendo's ass for how stupid the path they took with the Wii is. Today, half of you are talking about about how motion plus is going to be eclypsed by that ugly ass (opinnion, I know it was just for the tech demo) microphone Sony showed yesterday. The other half have of the people half some stupid tagline in their signature about how Project Natal is the future of gaming. Face detection and voice recognition. OOOOOOOOH. WHO THE HELL CARES??? They both look garbage!!!

The only motion add-on peripheral I will be purchasing this generation of consoles is Motion plus. Why? I know it will get tons of support from Nintendo and we will see creative and fun games. At this point, no matter what MS and Sony do their peripherals will never recieve as much good conent. For gods sake leave nintendo to what they brought in this gen. and stick to what you already have. You will never see a game that looks as good as Killzone 2 on PS3 with motion sensetivity...it's a sad truth...get over it.

MS and Sony lost a lot of respect from me. I know business is all about money but wow.

Ummm... Maybe.  Then maybe not...

 

E3 09: EA CEO behind Sony motion controls and Project Natal

8:40 AM on 06.03.2009, Brad Rice

Catching up with EA CEO John Riccitiello, IndustryGamers talked with him about the upcoming future of motion controllers. The boys at EA have been playing around with both Sony and Microsoft's technologies for a while, and they first were informed about the projects about 15 months ago.

Since then, they've been experimenting left and right. In talking about Project Natal, he said, "it's certainly very compelling for a number of game concepts I've got in my mind and my teams are working on. ... I think the challenges around it is that there's a lot to be worked out – it's not something consumers have interacted with before." Natal's ambition was really shown off with Peter Molyneux showing off Milo. After seeing it in the press conference, I fully expected it to be something that was buggy, but I have a gut feeling Microsoft has put a lot more into it than I'm expecting, and the hands-on reports will prove that initial expectation wrong.

Meanwhile, Riccitiello considered Sony's motion controller "a great bridge technology," providing users with an experience that's unlike what they've used previously, but at the same time, "it doesn't require quite the leap of faith that Natal does." At this point, though, all we're seeing is a technical demo, and so we don't have anywhere as great an idea of how the technology will play out as we do with Project Natal.

Both technologies, to me at least, seem to be trying to do a bit more with motion than the Wii is managing. Just because Nintendo did it first does not mean they can do it best. But it seems to me, as well as to Riccitiello, that each of the companies are carving out their own distinct niches when it comes to motion technology. It's certainly a boon for us: with this generation's lifecycle only approaching half-way through, this technology should really be something special by the end of the generation.

Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

I just realized how pissed where ps360 fanboys for not having carnival games on their system.
