@Staude You mention how much worse than the wand , but still haven't backed up your claims.

looks like you didn't read what you colored in yellow properly. I am not talking about themiddle ware, which is provided by the same company. I am talking of doing games that uses the motion controls properly without making it a wagglefest or a broken controlled game. This requires experience that a middleware cannot provide, it requires hours of testing to see it the control setup is fun, or broken making the player feel stupid.

There are many, many wii games with wagglefest all over it, even though some might have seemed to have potential. This will happen to PS3 games.

A research must be done to figure out what motions are the correct ones for a specific game. To have a list of what motions make sense depending on the type of player, the position of the player, among other factors outside any development tool

Read more carefully

Do you think I can really be arsed to go out of my way to proove it ? Believe what you want.

Anyhow, the mere fact that you use two wands and not a wand and a nunchuck makes it much better.

Not to mention no wires and no batteries (of the regular kind) oh yes !

Longer range !

But yeah it's also better on a technical level.. But if you don't believe that ... then don't.

How has it got a longer range? If you're talking about motions I can make them in my garden and it recognises them perfectly.

Developers: "Finally, we can port our Wii games to the PS3!"

Too bad nobody will buy them.

I find this wand > wiimote discussion pointless, because I can't see the wand taking off (to put it lightly). How big of a userbase do people think it'll manage?

I'm talking about range where the sensor bar registers the device. I can barely stand 2 meters away and it starts having trouble. The curser flimmers on the screen before vaporating completely.

The sensor bar is only used for IR. As long as you are within 20ft it should register. I doubt anybody would be trying to play an IR focused game even more. What I would like to know is what happends when you try to use the PS3 mote in the dark? From my understanding the Eyetoy doesn't register in the dark right? Isn't it a combination of the controller and the eye toy that pulls off the motion controls?

The wand works fine in the dark, the ps eye is much better than the eyetoy but not optimal.

And it might be "supposed" to work 20 feet away, but atleast mine does not. Has never.

My dualshock 3 works anywhere though :peven in the bathroom.. with a closed door.. not that it's very useful lol.

Dualshock 3 doesn't use IR though does it? You'll notice that the buttons and motion gestures still work no matter the distance.

nope just bluetooth.

And are you sure about that ? I recollect trying to play brawl in my couch (where it wouldn't reach) and it not working so i had to move the sensor bar onto the table... Well it was a long time ago so my memory about that could be unprecise... I'd test it out but i've got it packed away so i can't be arsed now.
