Sony's spin on the Wiimote/VR Gloves

[TheMuffinMan]

What can I say? If it works, this works better than the Wiimote...

Mmm, no, from what the article actually says, this senses...squeezing...not motion.

I understand people call it stealing, and it is definetly inspired and based on the Wiis controller, but this one works a lot better.

Yeah, the squeezing part works better...not the pointing, or the motion sensing..or the intuitiveness

I mean, every move of your fingers is registred, so the games will feel even more real then Wii games.

Mm, no, the squeezing involved in the game will feel more real...cause you know, we're always squeezing in games

Boxing games will be awesome. Though Im still against Manhunt type a games with these kind of stuff.

The forming a fist part of the boxing would be fantastic with this..not so much the actual boxing part...cause you know, this registers squeezing, not motion

Anyways, I agree, its stealing, but I like the revision that could work a whole lot better.

We've already had this before, it's called the Power Glove, it sucked.

 

[SuperEclipse]

No Super, you are annoying because you post annoying random things, you generally refuse other people's ideas, you constantly bash Sony no matter what, and you are an utter Microsoft fanboy.


And i agree, that 360 controller is the fugliest thing I have ever seen.

Oh and if this was Microsoft doing this. You Sony fanboys would be saying. ''bad idea, all MS does is steal..''

Oh btw, to bad the 360 controller is label as one the best controllers.. .. I love MS gaming part because even though the 360 controller is great. They say it's not great a nuff, so they keep trying to inprove it.

Unlike Sony. Also who seems to be using Nintendo's idea's and MS idea's this gen.

Microsoft fanboy

Pot calling the kettle black....

Btw, I made a little Joke. I would of said the same damn thing if MS or Nintendo was using it..

-------------
Face it, is this was Nintendo or MS doing it.. I know for fact some of you Sony fanboys would be saying this sucks..

 

[Tyler Durden]

No, I am not a fanboy. Did Sony screw everybody over with the PS3? Yes. Is the Wii only a novelty? Probably. Is the 360 mainly just for shooters? pretty much.

All of the companies have messed up equally.

I figured it would also involve motion sensing. If it misses that, this thing totally sucks. But what would be the point of little gloves that sense squeezing but not motion sensing? It doesnt make sense... the only thing we know is the patent on this, not what it actually does. We can understand the squeezing part, but we dont know what else it does. It probably will involve motion sensing or else the only use it has is squeezing and thats not how you control a game... hopefully. XD

We've already had this before, it's called the Power Glove, it sucked.

For one, the design of this is a LOT better. But most of all, I still believe it will use motion sensing. Without it, its silly.

 

[keybladeboi]

looks ok i guess... dunno if ill ever be bothered to suit up to play a game though

I agree. they have there good parts and bad parts. But, I think Sony ___ed up this gen overall. I was all for the PS3 till Sony start this crap. I loved the PS2 more the xbox1. Now I love the 360 because it's about gaming not useless crap I don't need. I also got sick of all the lies..

I think Sony F___ed up and I will not suck Sony's d!ck, They arnt the best anymore untill they come back to earth, I will not get a PS3.

Only reason they added Blu-ray to the PS3 is not for games but to pass off the Blu-ray player. It wasn't needed, Hell even one of Sony's best devs agree''s((Jeff the guy that did GOW)). That Blu-Ray wasn't needed.

the 360 mainly just for shooters? pretty much.

Just for FPS right?

I'm not saying MS is perfect. They suck too in their own special way as well. but they don't dish out the BS lies and arrogance. I'm simply picking the lesser of two evils.

The ps3 is a good system, but it's not better than the 360 IMO... at least not yet. so i can get essentially the same or better gaming experience from a company i would rather support.

Gyroscopes and 3D hand motion detection related to the Sixaxis in previous patents, indicates that it also will be included and improved on in this controller.

We've already had this before, it's called the Power Glove, it sucked.

It is a mixture of the Wiimote/VR glove. We have not had this before.

 

[Hero_of_Fate]

If it just include gyroscopes, then it will suck. That technology has been around for years, and it's never been all that fun. Kirby Tilt N' Tumble, anyone?

 

[Dogenzaka]

It sounds like all you do is hold the thing and move your hands like your really going to pick the thing up, but it happens on screen. Am I right in what I think it is or could someone explain it more.

Well looks like Sony's gonna have to stop making games that use an analog stick.
But they half-assed that idea from Nintendo too anyways.

 

[XIII Heartless]

LOL, Sony has proved that they are idea-stealing bastards on almost a daily basis since the PS3 came out. XD Okay an exaggeration, but still, they need to come up with their own junk.

This idea fails, it senses squeezing, and I do not want to squeeze my hands just to get Sonic to jump, or Sora to swing his Keyblade, or whatever. But because it isn't used for motion-sensing, it is logical that this won't become the PS3's new controller; it'll just be used for certain games. Whereas the Wii's Wiimote is used for all of it's games; in other words, Wiimote ftw.

XIII Heartless, of all the posts I have seen you in, this is the one I agree with you the most.

WHY? You may ask.

Squeezing would suck. It would make it harder for people like my cousin, for instance, who either squeeze a controller too hard or not hard at all. The idea of Glove Controllers is failing disaster. Sony really needs to actually think up a non-sucky idea.

 

[XIII Heartless]

^^Thanks, I guess..............

 

[Kazuma]

Sony can you please just bring back,and use dual shock?!!!!

 

[sephy 9 2 5]

Dualshock with tilt functions.

If it just include gyroscopes, then it will suck. That technology has been around for years, and it's never been all that fun. Kirby Tilt N' Tumble, anyone?

Did you miss the additions of 3-D hand motion detection? Why do you think they would claim it to potentially be like the Wiimote, if it was not expected to have Wiimote like properties in the final version?

 

[XIII Heartless]

I would rather point with a remote than with gloves. Therefore IMO, this idea fails.

Meh idk maybe...maybe not. Also you don't point with gloves at all. Well wait its not even a glove you just hold it. Anyway the implementation method, or interaction method with the game will obviously be different.

But it will have Wiimote characteristics. And I'm going to leave it at that.

Personally, I'd take a dual shock with supported rumble/tilt over this. Let me take that back, actually I'd like to see the boomerang come back so I can "accidentally" break something then file a lawsuit =D

You sure about that?

With these gloves (with motion sensing that is), you'd control everything simply with your hands... you can grab things, punch, hold, etc.

The only thing that makes me wonder is how we can acces the menu of the game? LOL!

 

[Lycanthrope]

Look, Sony just sucks every since PS3 was released. I mean, HOME was a bad idea to begin with (copying of the Mii in some regards), and, now they copy Nintendo's idea for motion sensor stuff.

Sony's "idea" will fail miserably.

Home isn't out yet.. So how was it a bad idea?

 

[Lycanthrope]

Three reasons:

1- They only did it since Nintendo had an avatar thing.
2- It is exactly like Sims.
3- Sony can't come up with their own ideas.
