1UP on Sony motion device: Discounted knockoff item from Dollar Store

"It was maybe a little underwhelming when Sony followed Microsoft's controller-free demo with a fairly standard kind of motion recognition, but the thing is... well, the device shown was... I'm still kind of dumbstruck by...

Oh hell! It was a damn blinking wand! The thing looked like it was looted out of a discounted, knockoff "Harry The Wizard" Halloween costume from a dollar store. Someone must have left the actual controller at home and called their mom to pick something up on her way back from pilates." - 1UP

Didn't seem like they were very impressed by it. :( Natal didn't make the "WTF" article, so Sony's motion device must not have been as impressive. :( Oh well, I hope Sony gets it right next time. It has potential.

[QUOTE="VitunLehmat"][QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]And here's BioShockOwnz delivering the news on why the PS3 still isn't impressing him. What a surprise.NAPK1NS

its a nonsense article that mostly b***** on things that are unreleased yet............ 1UP sure has gotten pretty low these days.

Just a quick question, does the ps wand have an analog thumbstick on it?

Indeed it would be nice.

Im pleased to hear that it has triggers on both wands anyway, that is a good start.

Hardcore gamers may like the Playstation motion controls the most but IMO the general public will be more impressed with Natal.

Many people will look at Sony's controller and think to themselves "been there, done that" with regards to the Wii controller.

So the PROTOTYPE is hideous... last time I checked, a prototype isn't the definitive version of the product.

Yes, I understand this, but casuals will see it as some amazing new technology and they will all want it.

Sony's motion controller is the best motion control solution from the 3 main companies this gen.

Isnt the Sony one a prototype? Usually prototypes are made just to work, aesthetic design choices come later :?II_Seraphim_II

All motion controls suck.

djsifer01

It seems this one does the most, though. Really a shame.

i think thats the point 1up is trying to make

the sony motion controler is more accurate then natal, becouse its a wiimoteion+ with a glowing ball

Actually dismisses the look all in once.rogerjak

I give up.

I give up.

LOL! Nice one!

Lets all bash prototype designs YA!!!navstar29

They Stated that this disign isn't the final one.

You can judge the presentation. I'm not saying the whole presentation is invalidated or anything. All I'm saying is that the 'object' used for the presentation is a prototype design, obviously their not gonna ship it as such, so why cry about it.navstar29

The accuracy of Sony controller is really impressive. The design is not, but how stupid do you have to be to think that this is the final version? It's still some time from release, and the most important thing is how it works, not how it looks.. and from what I've seen Natal is not as accurate. Besides, I wouldn't like to remind to you exactly which device is made from low quality cheap plastic that looks like it was bought from Dollar Store :P.

Just because it looks bad, that doesn't mean it will perform as bad. And we have to remember that the people showing it off said that it was just a prototype design.

The PS3 motion controller won't look so cheap when willing customers have bought it and are using it, while 360 owners are trying to cure the three red rings of death with Natal. Fatal Natal will be it's new name.

All motion controls suck.

urdead18

agreed....also its not a good thing for gamers if natal and sony motion controller are successful because if they succeed then you can expect next xbox and playstation to be more wii like e.g. they will be made to appeal to non-gamers and real gamers would be left 4 dead

Lol the controller looked like a sex toy.

Sony must have thought of that as a back-up,so that whenconsumers inevitably get boredof their crappy motion-sensing gimmick they can still keep themselves occupied and feel like they haven't wasted any money.

BioShock, that statement you quotes has ZERO to do with the actual tech and everything to do with the look of the PROTOTYPE. Man, you've had some very disappointing posts lately.PoppaGamer

This exactly

[QUOTE="rogerjak"]Actually dismisses the look all in once.IronBass

It's a engineering prototype. :|

And why do you make it sound as if 1up is criticizing the actual tech? :|

1up has become really, really lame since everyone got laid off or left. Especially the podcast.It's a shadow of it's former fun self.
