PS3 wand in action on already released games

Resident Evil 5 (skip to 2.50 for gameplay)

LittleBigPlanet

Although this is probably just for demo purposes, it's interesting to see it in action. :)

RE5 so far looks a bit more like wii type controls with a normal controller. If this can be taken further, we'll have to see. It looks like it can work provided they incorporate it into a normal control scheme.

LittleBigPlanet looks very interesting and takes the gameplay further... but in the demo they use 2 people: one using the wand, one moving the character. I'm having a hard time imagining whether it'll work with a single player only with the type of puzzles that they showed off.

All in all, seems to be a step in the right direction, but they are going to need spend some time refining the controls.

What do you think?

DISCUSS!

Edit: forgot the mandatory "sorry if old" :P

Already seen this.
It looks lame,very uncomfortable.

I agree, for now it looks decent at best, but eventually i could see it work. But this is only if they don't cripple the ps3 control scheme in favor of the motion controls. it needs to be added on, not replace.

In this case, Microsoft and Sony saw that the motion thing works to get more money out of casuals. So you know what makes business sense? Do something similar, but don't get sued.

this easily made my day. Never liked home, never tried the six axis, and I never liked trophies as much as achievements (maybe because xbox had a truly epic unlocking noise idk) I believe sony should really stop trying new things, they generally don't work out for them in the end anyway.

aint that the truth, companies dont 100% rip others off, often they are influenced by something but try to improve on it. N64 controller had just 1 thumb stick in the center, but it made it so it was hard to use the dpad if you needed it. the PS1 introduced the duels which is the norm today. technically the SEGA saturn used an analog stick before sony did which eventually inspired the dreamcast controller etc.

so you take graphics over gameplay?my god, they DO exist.....

if you care so much about graphics, wacth a movie.

and look at this:

and the downfall to gaming continues.

Ps3 and 360 are really striking out with the motion technology...

well the Wii remotes looked silly as heck when i first saw a video of it lol, but that caught on well...next thing ya knew families everywhere were shaking their hands all over the place and knocking their kids in the heads by mistake when swinging a virtual bat in wii sports and doing it with pride! of course i told my kid "wooooops! my bad!"

pretty sure this is still the prototype stage anyways, but who knows...

The Wii remote looks nice and slick, the PS3 one is a joke of a design, are they really going to feature that glowing ball on top.

well im under the impression from most press sites about it that its a prototype, so perhaps they could eventually at least shrink the orb down a bit lol. i saw some early wii mote designs and they looked rather weird at first too...then when it was official its done, magically the thing looks reasonably normal...i'd hope Sony goes that same route.

I think I spoke about this in a similar thread when this announcement came out.. How the bloody hell will you use a controller & the wand at the same time.. It looks extremely cumbersome.. The only way this will work is if Sony releases a "nun-chuck-like" attatchment for the wand and then you're talking more $$$$.

well the guy in the video is only using the left half of the regular controller, the analog for movement etc. i tested it out by holding the controller just in my left hand and i can easily use the stick, the d-pad, and the L1, L2 buttons with ease. i could see the controller in the left hand feeling heavy after a long while, but its cheaper for them to not develop a second controller to use in the left hand.

I could as well (as i have large hands) but I highly doubt this method will be adopted by the masses.. Especially when the wii offers a more comfortable solution. I could be thinking inside the box.. Maybe the great brains at Sony will dev games that won't require two controllers. But for games like RE5, I don't see this working well.

Both this and Natal look horrible.aaronmullan

This.I hate motion control.I like to sit down and play a game.

[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]Both this and Natal look horrible.ToScA-

The dualshock controller makes everyone notice how retarded the design is. I hope sony paid attention to that stupidity.
