    Company Sixense recently showed off their motion remote for the PS3, its looks very similar to the Wiimote, which at first I though was a fake, or a wind up but after looking at the videos. Its clear that they are onto the next generation of motion sensing using a fixed point  to work around rather then the controller being the fixed point as on the Wii. Very ineteresting stuff. Check out the videos on the page.

    Boo. Most Wii games suck for a reason. Stick to gamepads.

    As far as I can tell, the device shown in the videos has nothing to do with Sony or the PS3 whatsoever.

    Oh k people don't seem to read properly. I said it was made by Sixense and if you guys took the time to watch the videos and looked at what's on offer you would see there a little more then a "third party" accessory on show. Check it out and put some real feed back.

    Unless they went the Nintendo route and packed this 'new' controller with a game that uses it very well, I won't be interested.

    Hopefully the SFIV Madcatz fighting sticks can change this trend.

    I'm going to agree with this too. I hope motion controllers don't catch on.

    I play a lot of golf games and I can't go back to analog control, so I hope all the consoles use motion control.

    Its probably like the classic "360 motion controller", it either won't happen at all, or its some third party bullshit that no one should buy at all. I doubt its anything by Sony.

    I think it looks very interesting, and it seems like it as more freedom.

    The area that got me  really interested was the shooting, the way the guy ducked behind cover and poped up to shoot. I agree alot of Wii games suck, but there are a few gems and I think Tiger Woods is one of them. I think that this could be a great piece of kit along side a gamepad of some sort.

    There were rumors that sony was developing a break-apart DualShock gamepad, to emulate the Wiimote/Nunchuck style, like a regular DualShock 3 controller that you split in two pieces and use them as a wiimote and nunchuk, I read it on Joystiq a few months ago

    I dunno Im going to have to say its not so much the Wiimote, more so as people just making shitty ideas or not thinking at all and implimenting some stupid ass gimick into the game as apposed to using the motion parts properly. I dunno, maybe I couldnt be the only one who thinks this. It is a good controller, just the system is home to stupid amounts of shit people call "games"
