PS3mote: Sony Rips Off Wii with New PS3 Controller

Good bye Wii. See you in history.

~

Hello PS3!:3

You guys are fucking dumb shits.

1. The image is A PHOTOSHOP

2. The PS3 controller isn't ANYTHING like the wiimote controller. The final images look completely different. It can be split into two, and has big balls at the ends. The sensor works via sonar basically. Ultrasounds are emitted from the balls at the end of the controller and are picked up by a receiver. The receiver then pinpoints the location of the controller with much more accuracy then the Wiimote. This controller will be FAR more precise then the wiimote.

3. The controller will be "transformable" IE, it can break apart and be used in two pieces, or have parts . It's NOTHING like the wiimote. The controller can also be made so it can be used like a standard controller shape.

4. The buttons will be changeable to accommodate the buttons for lefies and righties. One side will have the Dpad, the other will have the 4 buttons. Both will have analog sticks and R/L buttons on each part.

lol suuure, pull the other one, it makes me chargin' mah lazor.
SHOOP DA WOOP!

Now they just need to drop the PS3's price by about $200, and rewind time to three years ago, and they might have a chance at competing.

All sony need to do is make the controller shape like a woman body.Boobs being ether dual analog or butt-ons.Then everyone is happy,well the gamers anyway.

i thought this was that photoshop pic i saw like last year......?

I'm amazed at the amount of people who didn't read the text and went right to posting. Too many people. Just... to many.

Faith in humanity: -3

PS3's Salvation: The Wii Remote 2

alls fair love and war.. all they have to do is bundle it with i highly anticipated

ARGH it doesn't have enough buttons!

Y'know, there is something to note from all this.
1st, I don't know if this is a rip off, but man, this isn't really the matter, even if it's for real, Sony DO needs an update by now for the PS3, and the same goes for Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360; they're starting to match (or copy) ideas by the time being.
2nd, It really does not affect my person at all, cause I had never seen anyone of these in person, neither play or even touch them obviously... But still, I don't really like the Wiimote, if could touch maybe I would like, but still for a real player there are only three types of commands, 4 buttons and triggers, arcade commands and mouse and keyboard. The rest of them are just peripherals >.>
3rd, the Wii is an entertainment device more than a videogame console, and it was developed to be that way the most. Still there are some good games (I do know even if I'd never see it)
4th, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 where developed to be that way (entertainmente device), but still they're more like just consoles for the most of it's owners (you do know it, owner of these >.>)
And finally, man don't make such a fuss just from ashopped image that takes it's birth from a rumour the wind comes with -.-

As a PC user, I am amused at all of this hu ha just about some controllers. Oh well, I am waiting for PS3 to add "typing and LED tracking technolgy to aid first person shooter games" (read: Keyboard and mouse copy). Then we will get real trolling.

Non related, with all the games being ported to the PC (RE:5 being the latest in the line), I found it harder and harder to convince myself to get a console :3

Its just an artists impression, theres no guarantee that its actually like that.

I wish they hadd gone though with it.

i want it

Ever since Nintendo introduced the D-pad, everybody now copies from them...

I want to see this motion-controller that Sony developed and wait for some fanboy rage on both parties

its a fucking myth! Id (insert action here) if it was actually true.

I seriously doubt anything resembling the wii controllers design will come out..

Im using my wii to post this.... -looks at controler- no difference except individual buttons for d-pad

i dont think this is the original ps3 remote, cuz i saw such a remote some time ago. and it looked alot different! there was also one for the xbox360!

This is exactly a Wiimote with a Circle instead of a B, and Triangle and X instead of 1 and 2.

*facepalm*

I think it's safe to say we can add 14:59:56 to that list.

There is gonna be a chain reaction of X-BOX-like "exclusives" soon

If it dose not have a "numbchuck" its worthless.....

Also, sorry to go on about this, but even the things that were more legitimately invented by Nintendo are very context-based. For example, it's true that they did introduce force-feedback into console controllers but the idea of the thing a gamer is holding rumbling in order to represent what is happening in the game was used on countless arcade machines before that.

In the same year the N64 rumble pack was released, Sony went on to put the "rumbler" inside the pad and have it not use batteries, but no one would ever credit them for that despite Nintendo fanboys claiming that Nintendo refining an idea (like motion tracking for a home console) is the same as them inventing it.

"Everyone copies Nintendo".

More like "Nintendo copies everyone". Various things that you probably think Nintendo invented were actually invented by others first, such as the analogue stick for a control pad.

Also, remember that Sony had the EyeToy which was a motion tracking device that let your movement control things in a game. They just didn't base the entire console around it, though.

How can you rip off a tv remote?

HMMM!
I wonder how much of an improvement using these instead of wii-motes would be for http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/johnny_lee_demos_wii_remote_hacks.html
( "Building sophisticated educational tools out of cheap parts, Johnny Lee demos his cool Wii Remote hacks, which turn the $40 video game controller into a digital whiteboard, a touchscreen and a head-mounted 3-D viewer." )

Could be quite promising...

Why gots these niggers be stealin from us honkies?

Nintendo inovates, the rest follows.

As usual.

That is CLEARLY not the same as the Wiimote. The P-mote is black!

Looks shopped.

and no, don't tell me the obvious crap that you'd give in the internet daily life.

"Nintendo innovated everything and everyone is stealing from poor Nintendo. Bawwwwwww" What a croque of shit. Only wiiaboos could believe in such nonsense.

Though in this particular case they are copying Nintendo/Gyration's baby. It won't do them any good. Non-standard peripherals always fail at least that was until the guitar peripheral, but that is the only exception. This is the entire reason why Nintendo had to build the console around their peripheral otherwise it would have seen only a few titles and failed. It would have been yet another odd peripheral no one cared about which is what is going to happen to Sony. Fanboys will play up the fact it doesn't seem to be a two handset and no one is as good as Nintendo when it fails, but neither are relevant. Besides they are already having trouble just getting normal software support from the industry. Wonder what ever happened to the eyetoy being the wii killer. One useless peripheral traded for another.

One hand control first and touch screen controls that is playable to all system follows.Can't wait for that.

Sony is the best and will never steal anything from others. Wii is totally no match for PS3!
