ION (creators of that badass premium drum controller for RB2 years back) have a new controller that meshes console and PC sensibilities:
http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/176098-/2_1-noscale.jpg http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/176098-/3_1-noscale.jpg They say it was made for FPS and MMO applications, which would have been great two generations ago when those genres really suffered on consoles. But now, ironically, this controller would be awkward for today's FPS at least (they currently use the analog triggers, for instance). It may work will with MMOs provided developers take the controller into account. And though they didn't mention it, I suspect it'd work well with RTS games as well. Really odd thinking Jaguar's controller design was ahead of it's time in some way, as well as arcade ball control (yeah I know that's mouse control). |
How would that even be comfortable and practical to hold and use?

I expect it to be much harder than that, but I love how you can 'feel' ArkSys all over the presentation.

Project Natal is officially renamed 'Kinect'.
|
Kinect games revealed:
•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger. (LOL wtf?) •Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks. (Ugh) •Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header. (Wii Sports 360) •Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points. (Lame) •Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home. (LOL) •Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney. |

I guess if mine ever E74s or red rings, I'ma get one of those and trade in the wifi adapter.

NCAA 11 demo out now.

Couldn't decide if this belonged more in the E3 thread but Gamestop already has the pricing for Kinect and the launch title games. Kinect set to be sold for $149.99 while Kinect games set to be sold for $59.99 each.
Still only a rumor until Microsoft announces the actual prices. http://kotaku.com/5563233/gamestop-p...kinect-bundles |
lol fail.
|
Yeah, those are the prices.
|
Don't get me wrong, I'd drop 60 bones for some shit like Milo any day of the week. But fuck if I'm dropping $60 on a racing game that was supposed to be a free download. For that kind of cash, you're giving me Burnut Paradise or Forza 3, not a fucking Avatar racer or Wii Sports 360.

I previously called this a pompous endeavor, but now I see they're doing almost exactly what I think a remake of GoldenEye should do, I'm slightly turned. Good show. |
I see Oddjob is in the game as well. Won't take too long before the "No Oddjob" rule goes back into effect.

New 360 model available this weekend.

Search function coming to Netflix XBL. A small thing, but very helpful.

Show off the 3DS MGS?
|
That would be cool but looking at the games in the pic it seems to show Konami's 'pillars'. What's a major franchise from the company?

ZONE OF THE ENDERS.
I can dream :'( |
Peace walker

I'm sorry, people. I... I'm swamped. I haven't even touched the surface of content coming out. The pace is crazy. I gotta go eat something. When I return I'll try to grab some clean YouTube vids and more reveals, as well as see what went on with Activision.
Sheesh |
No one cares, kalyx. I'm sure copying and pasting is really hard work.
|
Worse than someone who posts news is someone who adds absolutlely nothing and makes fun of the guy posting news.
|
Like you just did, roxer?
|
You don't post news, so no, he didn't just do that.
|
I add content and don't make fun Kalyx.
... often |
I meant more along the lines of not adding anything to the conversation, and neither did you. I win.
|
Well try adding context and making fun of kalyx, it is much funner.

So what is everyone's opinion on the new "motion control" devices showed today?
|
Seems like fail right now, but later on when the newness wears off (ie the price drops) I'll probably pick up some of the better offerings on the cheap.

1:1 control and actually holding something. Kinect chatting and the interface looks cool, but not over 100$ cool. To be honest the best app was that Harmonix dancing game, and SKITTLES! |
