  • The Playstation Move vs the Xbox Kinect, may the best motion controller win

    The Playstation Move vs the Xbox Kinect, may the best motion controller win

    Posted on June 15, 2010 | No Comments
    It's official on. That is the motion control wars and, don't hate, but Nintendo isn't one of the combatants. Nope, this war is clearly between Microsoft and Sony. It's the Kinect vs the Move. Full body tracking vs 1-1 controller tracking. This is going to turn out great for you, me, and both Sony and Microsoft.

Pricing is currently unavailable but we will have more information shortly.

  • No new Wii ‘any time soon’ says Nintendo

    No new Wii ‘any time soon’ says Nintendo

    Posted on February 25, 2010 | No Comments
    Don’t expect new console hardware from Nintendo in the near future. When asked “When do you think it’ll be time for new hardware?” in a recent interview with Gamespot, Nintendo’s Cammie Dunaway replied, “I don’t think it’ll be any time soon because even though our installed base is, at this point, 5 million households larger than the PS2 installed base was at the same point in its lifecycle, it still has a lot of room to grow.”

    THQ CEO says Sony’s motion controller is actually named Arc, not Gem

    Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
    Last time we heard, Sony’s motion controller was named Gem. That was according to EA’s CEO, John Riccitiello, back in early December. But THQ’s head man said today in an investor call that it’s named Arc. Either way it still seems like a novelty Wii Remote controller knock-off to us. Pass. (unless there’s a killer game and then [...]

    Sony officially announces Motion Controller in Fall 2010

    Posted on January 20, 2010 | No Comments
    Sony wants you to know that the “Motion Controller” will be available worldwide this Fall. It’s also adamant that the name “Motion Controller” is a tentative name for now. We’ve heard murmurs that it’d be called “Gem,” but for now it’s “Motion Controller.” I’d suggest that Sony call it “Purple Bulb Knob,” but the company’s official strategy is “Don’t Listen to Doug.”

    CES is over for CrunchGear (we'll still be posting some stragglers today and tomorrw) but we'd like to reflect on the best gear we saw at the show. These few days flew by and even with the glut of 3D TVs and ereaders we were actually impressed by a few small, good things that caught our eye on the show floor. Here are the winners of CrunchGear's Best of CES 2010 informal editor poll.

    The Sony motion controller is named “Gem”?

    Here’s what we know. John Riccitiello, the CEO of EA, spoke yesterday at the UBS 37th Annual Global Media Conference and said this, “In the coming year, both Sony and Microsoft have announced new controllers. Motion sensor controls, Natal and Gem, these are likely to bring new consumers into the marketplace”. Kind of sounds like he knows [...]

    If you have a kid that likes Star Wars – especially the Clone Wars cartoons – then here’s one of the only gifts you’ll need to buy. Of course, that’s totally false because if you have kids you need to buy thousands of gifts around the holidays, right? Well with this one you’ll have a [...]

    Wait, Microsoft’s Project Natal will be $80? That can’t be right

    Posted on November 11, 2009 | No Comments
    There is a rumor swirling around the tubes this morning that Microsoft’s motion controller Project Natal will be $80 when it comes out next November. First off, there is no way that the Wii-killer be $80 based on precedents set by the current crop of Xbox add-ons. But more importantly, if the controller system is only $80, it [...]

  • Come on, everyone, of course Nintendo is working on the Wii HD

    Come on, everyone, of course Nintendo is working on the Wii HD

    Posted on November 6, 2009 | No Comments
    Nintendo's generally vocal president, Reggie Fils-Aime, made headlines today when again he denied that Nintendo was working on the Wii HD. He said, "I don't know how forcefully we can say there is no Wii HD." That's pretty clear, but it's also mostly a lie. What do you expect the man to say two months before Christmas? "Psst, don't buy the $200 Wii for your kid this year. We've got something real special coming in a few months. You're going to want that instead." Does anyone seriously think that Nintendo is not building a high-def capable system? You can't even buy a SD TV larger than 20 inches anymore. Reggie probably told the truth when he said "there is no Wii HD" as it's probably not named Wii HD, but there has to be some sort of high-def gaming system in the works. If there isn't, Nintendo is in trouble.

    Sony laid out its motion controller plans the other day at the Tokyo Game Show and mentioned that Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet would be the first games to take advantage of the system. Well, freaks and geeks, wanna see some actually gameplay? 'Course you do.

    So yeah, the PS3 motion controller will be available this Springtime, and the first “big” games to make use of it will be Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet. High Velocity Bowling will also use the controller, and it sounds absolutely thrilling.

    Tokyo Game Show: First impressions and a look at Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth

    Posted on September 24, 2009 | No Comments
    I just came back from this year's Tokyo Game Show and must say I am pretty disappointed with the show this year. There were hardly any highlights, Sony didn't show their motion controller anywhere after the announcement during their keynote (picture of the device below/more info later) and staff members often didn't let me shoot any pictures or videos (which I did anyway if there was the chance). Here are some pictures from two booths of the show. The picture on the left shows the final event of the first day (Sunday is the final day). More material from the Tokyo Game Show follows today and tomorrow.
