Forums - Sony - Could MLB: The Show be the first title to use Sony Wand.?

nightsurge on 18 September 2009

^That's why I said it wouldn't be that much different. You'd still obviously prefer to use the wand, but it is still doable with Six Axis for much cheaper and only slightly less comfortable.

I have only ever used Six Axis controls in Killzone 2 when setting those charges or opening doors/gates so I wouldn't know if they are responsive enough or not.

MLB 10: The Show and Hot Shots Golf 6 seem like givens. I hoping Sony bundles a new game in the same line as Wii Sports that features a multitude of the motion based activities we've seen demonstrated so far as well.

Well, I'd like to see it. I liked Baseball on Wii Sports.

I'd like to see Sony's finalized design first. I mean I just don't see how Sony can show off an "early prototype" version of their wands and have it out already in March 2010, while MS has been working on Natal for a few years now (at least the idea or plan to create it was hinted at in a Bill Gate's speech a while back) and showed the finalized product.

Maybe it's just me. That just doesn't seem like enough time to get some launch games done specifically for the controller, because adding it to a game like MLB would be not much different than using the existing Six Axis controls.

The first prototype we know about was back in 2004 i believe. But there are video's on youtube with dates back as early as 2001.... it was basically a pen with a large ball on it....

Also, in the most recent trailer, the controller looked pretty nice. Can't find a video though.

Seems so.

Weird that this thread was made on the same day that Grand Slam Tennis from EA was leaked as the first Sony wand title.

I guess so. Makes sense since HOME also started development back on the PS2.

^Man... wonder why all of Sony's ideas take so much longer to implement?
