... how can cows say the wand is better? :?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Ya'ever tried aiming a bow at full tension? It ain't as easy as WSR would make you think.I don't know. The guy at the PS3 conference was aiming all over the place. He couldn't keep his bow still for a second.
At least he was shooting the undead...more interesting than targets.
goblaa
But it goes red when you want to cast a spell in an RPG :oBecause the Sony one has little purple thingos as the top.

Yes. I used to compete. Hitting at full tension is hard as ****. But your bow doesn't fly all over the the place.
Yes. I used to compete.goblaaSame here when I was a tyke. From what I saw, the aiming from the wand was quite a bit more accurate than what was in WSR.

Couldn't tell that from the conference. The bow in WSR at least pointed in the right direction. The sony motion controller had him almost shooting at the ceiling.

Both weren't totally accurate, but I felt that the PS one was quite a bit more.

Don't focus on the circle.
The archery was not the only thing shown of the PS3 Wiimo....um, glowing thingy. It was derivative, but looked more impressive than what we have been shown of Wii M+ so far.SpruceCaboosesuch as?

It was hard to tell exactly how one would be able to aim accurately in the first place with such a big reticle.

the playstation motion controller looked more responsive and precise judging by the demonstrations. The wiimote still relies on a sensor bar which limits your playing field unlike the playstation motion controller where you can move around in the room your in while moving around in the game world, simply because its using similar technology to what they use for motion capture in hollywood. ReaperV7The sensor bar is for the pointer. Not motion controls.

Did you not watch the Sony E3 conference? i saw it, but as far as i know the only thing that was demonstrated on both systems were sword play and archery, IMO they looked very very very close to each other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acND4sO3pJs

EDIT: In the video you linked me to, if M+ does that, then yeah they seem really similar.

OreoMilkshakeThe sensor bar is for the pointer. Not motion controls. you still need it for aiming (i.e. the bow demonstration for both wiimote+ and PS motion controller). what sucks is that if your not far enough from the sensor bar ,your force to point at it. Since the PS eye is involved with the motion controllers you have a much broader range vertically and horizontally .

ReaperV7the wand NEEDS an pSEye... WSR archery however does not... i fail to see your point really.

No it doesn't. Waggle uses no part of the sensor bar.
I don't know whay people complain about the wiimote when they have no idea how it works...

The Wiimote does not need it for waggle, but the sensor bar is certainly used in spatial motion sensing.[QUOTE="ReaperV7"]the playstation motion controller looked more responsive and precise judging by the demonstrations.

oh crap i forgot that neither the wiimote or the ps motion controller point when using the bow....my bad...but the sensor bar still is dated technology.[QUOTE="goblaa"][QUOTE="ReaperV7"]the playstation motion controller looked more responsive and precise judging by the demonstrations.

You'd have to be mere inches away from the TV for it to not pick up the Wiimote. I dunno why you sit that close.[QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"][QUOTE="ReaperV7"]the playstation motion controller looked more responsive and precise judging by the demonstrations.

watch the video i linked earlier in this thread. The sensor bar is used for pin point accuracy but with WMP you can still manage without it.Wii can do that as well.Because you can hold your bow anyway you like??
horizontal,vertical diagonal etc.

If you payed attention to the conference, the guy said that the longer you help the bow, the smaller the reticle got.

That so, so warrants a "Thats what he said...." but I just cannot do it! :P Anyway, see what you started :P
I treat everyone like an intelligent poster until I am shown otherwise. A better question is how are Sony and MS going to make standard motion controls, since peripherals don't always do well, and how is Ninty going to get Motion+ to all the current Wii owners and make them care.SpruceCaboose
I would say Sony is going to have the hardest sell. Since they need to convince the consumer to by not one, but TWO accessories. The 'eye and the wand. Microsoft might, and I stress might, be at an advantage since even if the developers don't support Natal they could sell it on integrated features alone. I don't know about Nintendo.
In any event, I don't see any of these technologies getting major support until the next console generation at the earliest.

I think sony will just bundle them together for an easier purpose.... but then again they need to face price issues -_-....[QUOTE="goblaa"]Ya'ever tried aiming a bow at full tension? It ain't as easy as WSR would make you think. OMG really? You mean I'm not a professional golfer because I can play Wii Sports Golf!? Neither of them were trying to be realistic, seems like the ps3 motion control is too sensitive for its own good.I don't know. The guy at the PS3 conference was aiming all over the place. He couldn't keep his bow still for a second.
At least he was shooting the undead...more interesting than targets.

[QUOTE="RadBooley"]But it goes red when you want to cast a spell in an RPG :o exactly more interactive, which is why sony's demonstration was more accurate. when i cast a spell i want to see light coming from my wand, that can only be done on the ps3 lol.Because the Sony one has little purple thingos as the top.
nintendo-4life
Heres an important point no one has even mentioned in regards to the xbox and PS3 motion (more so to natal). Actually i think the PS3 will have it.
This is Forcefeedback/rumble. I mean i think Natal is a great idea but imagine playing a racing game and when you crash, the control wont rumble since you dont have one. And for fighting games, although your hitting something on the screen, it will feel weird in real life since you will be just going through air.
The Wii kind of compensates for this with slight rumble, where on impact, the controller will shake. I think because of this it will make Natal and maybe the sony wand very very limited in the amount of genres it can do.
Anyway i do agree with you, i too thought they were pretty much identical. I dont know where Cows got the notion that their motion was far superior to Wii+.
wii sports resort comes out this julyBecause the Sony one has little purple thingos as the top.
RadBooley
Exactly what I was thinking. I thought it was quite cool how you can hold ridiculously big swords in game using the camera with the Sony one... But as you said, the core 'motion' technology is pretty much the same. The PS3 is just using a different method to do it. I'm sticking with Wii for now. It seems both Sony and Microsoft's motion solutions still have their problems.
