I think the delay is almost completely for software reasons. Meaning they needed more time to get more games lined up on release date. I doubt we are going to get a nunchuck dongle, instead, as shown in the demo, more than one wand can be used per person.

You're talking about action RPG game I hope. Cause I seriously don't want to have to navigate the menus with the thing. Wiimote menu navigation sucks, and so would SONY Arc.

something like like demon souls but with wand control would be very awesome hehe

If main navigation and movement is done through the analog stick and the general action (swing, block, etc) is done through the wand motion, then yeah it could be good.

Some of you may not know that PS3 Arc (or GEM, or Wand lol), has officially been delayed until fall 2010, which proves my gut feeling right, I knew this was going to happen.

Personally I think it is a great decision, it will give Sony more time to perfect the motion control games for us, and hopefully, impove upon the whole PS Arc experience by giving us a nunchuck like device(hopefully)

Finally it will directly compete with Natal, minimising the potential blow it could do, in fact I beleive it will make Natal look something from last gen.

What do you guys think to this recent development??

I don't know why, but maybe it's because I'm a fanboy but I don't think NATAL it going to be that good.

 

Go ARC!!!



I am a loyal SONY fan and will always be.

I am also a PS1, PS2, PS3 and a PSP owner.

Whats with all these delays being "announced" when I'd never even heard about a release date in the first place?!


I quite clearly remember a Sony guy saying and its coming in Spring 2010 last E3, perhaps I dreamed it. 

I guess I just don't see "Spring" being a firm release date... What if they had originally planned to release it on the last day of spring, and now they are releasing it on the first day of fall... Doesn't seem like a reason for people to get all cranky about. If they'd give us a 1 month window, and then moved it, maybe that would lead to valid arguments, but a 4 month window doesn't seem like a very firm release date.

Well assuming that each season is approximately 3 months (give or take), a move from spring to fall could result in a delay as short as 3 months (last day spring to first day fall) or longer (if they release mid or late fall).

Three month's delay is worth mentioning to your customers I think?  Better at least, than saying NOTHING for three months, yes?

I guess so, but it still doesn't seem like it deserves this much attention. I doubt anybody had penciled in their callender to rush out and buy the new motion controller in "spring". This announcement will probably only effect the .1% of gamers who knew about it in the first place..

I think they delayed it, because no one actually make games for it at the moment lol

Although they could've bundled it with Resident Evil 5.....

Is it bannable to call someone a fanboy when they admit that they may be one?

Not surprised, and I wont be surprised when it gets delayed to 2011 either.

It seems to be running some considerable distance behind Natal. Doesnt matter let it come to market with a slew of great innovative games.

Dont put it up against Natal.

And for that matter, is it bannable to mention the word "Delastation" ??

do we even have a final confirmation of what the thing is gonna look like? I still have hope that we'll get that detachable controller I saw concepts for a while ago.

I've owned up to acting like a fangirl (Sony, followed by Nintendo)on several occasions, no ban yet for that, however if you go around calling ppl fanboys, then that is different, and you can get banned for it.
