Its simular how to how the top sim racers could probably beat allot of the profesoinal drivers out there.

Racing sims help you to get to know the track and your lines, but this is complete BS. Have you ever been in a race car? It's a completely different experience than a racing sim.

The only "gamer" to turn pro was Lucas Ordoñez. He was already an amateur racer, and it still took ~1 year of training. If you think you can take the best sim racer with no actual track experience, dump him in a real car for a month or two and expect them to do well, you are ridiculous.

Cool! All the games I played 4 years ago on the Wii...except...you know...in HD. cool


I think sony are actualy far less gulity of cloning wii games , i think you will get the basic fitness / sports games but thats just the generic thing that anny company would have to do , i think outside of that sony will have the controles working on manny other games , games u would never see on the wii.


Its anoying realy becaus I own a 360 but oh well , id get a wii but the multiplayer is not there properly and looks like utter crap on a 42" screen ( 360 looks pritty pore on a 42" screen so wii is just depressing)

anny way sod all this kinnect , sony move crap, MASHED is coming out on XBLA later this year and that is going to shit on everything

>> ^spoco2:

Wow, way to create a trailer for a system that completely DOESN'T differentiate it from the Wii... good work Sony... sigh


what they have done is make a system thats actualy responsaive , the wii motes are shockingly inacuret.
and manny people hate the graphical styl of the vast majorty of wii games.

In the end all bissinesses take ideas from eachother i dobt nintendo came up witht he wii mote in the first place they just decided to go behind it with a console.

if annything microsoft is more gulty of coppying the wii whats funny is kinect looks realy laggy and pritty much entrly suted to casual games where acurecy is not so important ( ala wii games) where as sony have a platform that can work well with casual and core games.

in the end , nintendo need to beef up there console evan if its only as fast as a 360 or slighty slower it just needs to do HD and allow support for non cartony games, nintendo allso needs to sort out multiplayer they should just clone what MS have done ,

MS need to make more party games that work over there multiplayer system, and sony need to lower the price of everything and improve there networking service.

I had friends who worked on DeathSpank and was disappointed when I got stuck on a level and after 4 failed attempts over a number of days, I've given up on the game. Too lazy to restart after everything I've already done. Ah well, not like it cost an arm and a leg! It's available for both XBox Live user and and on the PlayStation Network! Not sure about Limbo, though.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Very impressive. Looking forward to seeing this in the Playstation 7. (New - with headjack controller!)

@Deano I actually agree, the game itself looks boring, not edge-of-your-seat exciting.

However, the mere point I was trying to make was that the playstation technology will be able to handle fantastic looking games as well as motion control.

The visuals in that socom demo are far superior to anything ever seen on the wii, and the developers aren't limited to "fun for the whole family" games, so there probably will be some fantastic future titles.

Let's hope developers actually use their imaginations with this tech because I found that SOCOM game to be utterly boring. Another bloody tedious shooter and hiding behind scenery every so often. Reminds me of the pain of playing Gears of War.

I wish developers were let off their leash to make the kind of crazy games you used to see when the financial stakes weren't so high. Sure those games are now viewed as being rubbish but you wonder how much better and more wondrous things could be if every other game title didn't have a number at the end.

I think that PS Move seems like it was designed with making games for actual gamers in mind. You still have a controller with buttons, and the motion sensing is super-precise.
Kinect seems to be designed to try to bring mass market appeal to the 360 by trying to be even more accessible than the Wii, and turn the 360 into some sort of social networking hub at the same time.
Time will tell if anyone manages to make a really good game that's only possible with motion control, but so far nobody's really found a way to really advance the state of gaming with it yet.
It's opened it up to a new group of people, which is great, but I've been playing video games my whole life, I don't want it if all it's for is playing party games.

Might I point you towards Socom 4 seems a bit crude at the moment in terms of controls, but it shows off some impressive visuals with a clean movement control.
It definitely isn't ONLY possible with motion controls, but it definitely seems more immersive.
and again, better looking then ANYTHING on the wii.

>> ^RedSky:

Kinect seems more ambitious, and it is, until you see the plausible applications for it are severely limited. You could say it's an incremental upgrade to the Wii, but when that means reducing latency and improving the accuracy and data the motion controls can process, that's a pretty big deal. Go watch SOCOM being played on it, it's not quite mouse accuracy, but it's closer than controllers allow.



Wait til I post up video of myself grooving to Dance Central

I thought the Move tracked the controllers only? I'll probably buy both in the end as I tend to cherry pick the best games from each system.

I wish Kinect could track finger-movements, but I'm gathering it doesn't. It would be amazing to punch in keycodes and manipulate objects... one day maybe.

>> ^teebeenz:

Wii controller knows where its pointing, which way its turned up and which way its moving, but not qwhere it is.
Kinect knows where you are and you body position (which they could have done with a single camera but sony owns that patent... not that I like patents), but has no buttons. It does have a camera tho of course which is useful.
Move knows where the controllers are, where you are, can track your face, body, any other augmented reality shapes and patterns and pretty much anything else a developers wants to track. It has a camera as well (and its own games for said camera), and buttons. IT can be adapted to work with pretty much anything.
In the end, the move isnt perfect but its the best of the lot. Kinect offers little more than the EYEToy (which has 1:1 and body tracking in later releases), and the Wii is that happy medium, where its sending enough data, but not to much.

Wow. These comments reek of Playstation fanboyism.

Cheers!

In reply to this comment by Deano:
Impressive but just seems like an incremental improvement on the Wii. With Kinect they're doing something more ambitious, and of course more prone to glitches and bugs. This has controllers and I do like the idea of doing away with them for certain games.
And couldn't some of these tech demos be done in Kinect anyway? It just needs to track your hands...

Odd video embed by the way, no controls or running time info.

I deal with this sleep paralysis on a regular basis. To the point now where I don't freak out anymore, but just wait until my muscles respond.

I found that sleep paralysis happens when dehydrated, completely exhausted, or just not enough sleep.

The thing is to understand that you are experiencing this, which is difficult when one part of the brain is trying to wake the rest of the body up. So a coat hanging on the door can become the gate to hell, or the cat sleeping next to you can become a spider the size of your PlayStation.

Before I knew what was happening I would come out of the paralysis violently, looking to kill the thing that isn't there anymore; fight or flight.

The best thing you can do for someone who experiences this is to help them understand the science behind this disorder.

Also see Exploding Head Syndrome. Cool stuff, which science can explain!

this particular playstation had a 14-carat diamond disc reader
