Bananarang is gone. Dual Shock 3 is a wireless Dual Shock clone with ripped off Revmote functionality.

I wonder what Ian's going to say about this...

Jin-X · « **Reply #7 on:** May 08, 2006, 04:54:47 PM »

Words can't express how pissed off I am, Reggie should storm in and torch the place.

fucking assholes....i knew this would happen sooner than later

Damn....

That definitely put a damper on the situation....

Yep the PS3 controller looks like the PS2 controller but has gyros. You can tilt it left or right and move it up or down and maybe rotate it as well.

OUch. It's funny to watch those bastards announce that functionality tho. They look like a bunch of slimeballs.
I think this hurts Nintendo, but then again maybe not as much as you'd think. There's no pointer in the controller at least and the PS3 is $499 for the 20gb model and will be $599 for the 60gb model. For someone just wanting to play a couple games $600 is alot if Nintendo launches at $200.

Nintendo's appropriate response?

Ditch the unpopular "Wii" name and go back to "Revolution". But write it in the Spiderman font.

Strell · « **Reply #12 on:** May 08, 2006, 04:58:51 PM »

Did you see ****-aragi's little sh*t eating grin when they showed that off?

Reggie needed to swing in on a rope dressed like a pirate AND a ninja and kick some ass at that time.

That's it. I'm not getting a PS3. This is bullsh*t to the highest degree.

LMAO $500? they are insane.

Jin-X · « **Reply #14 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:02:08 PM »

At least it's half-assed, not nearly as good as Nintendo, but I hope Nintendo sues them till Kitaragi is nothing but a hobo beggin for money.

cubist · « **Reply #15 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:02:14 PM »

Yeah, I read it at 6:36 on that link...that's not the business...

Anyone think Nintendo can sue over this one???

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #16 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:03:06 PM »

you're not getting a ps3 because you don't have a half-grand to drop, why lie

They DID rip off Nintendo, but pathetically. It's just about the worst motion control ever, I doubt many games will be playable with that.

Guitar Smasher · « **Reply #17 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:03:07 PM »

To me, gyros in the PS3 controllers is a g-mick compared to the revmote. The revmote is much better designed to take advantage of motion control.

Mario · « **Reply #18 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:05:21 PM »

LOL this only has 6 degrees of control. It's basically a joystick you can tard around with in the air, what a JOKE

Michael8983 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:07:48 PM »

I knew Nintendo was going to regret showing off the feature so early on.
But is this really the same thing?
I mean does it simply detect rotation as opposed to 3D movement like the Wii's controller?
For that matter how functional will the controller be as one solid peice? The Wii-mote and analog attachment are seperate for a reason.
Still Sony should burn for this sh*t. It's possibly the most shameless rip-off in gaming history.

sony is going to die on their own, we don't need to kill anyone. calm down...

anyone know of a streaming video link online for this presentation?

cubist · « **Reply #22 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:10:28 PM »

Yeah...who knows what happened here...Nintendo doesn't want to compete with Sony or Microsoft head-to-head, but Sony just brought the fight to Nintendo's doorstep. What's the BIG N to do? Hopefully wake up and start doing some ass kicking.

Nintendo should break out that other secret with...we knew our competitors would try to steal our idea...that's why our other idea after suing them is owning them...

I haven't felt like a ranting fanboy in a while...and I'm usually composed, calm, and objective about things...but that's just plain wrong...what's worse is that the mainstream gamer is going to think Sony brought this controller out...hehehe...

I'll be at Sony's booth talking sh*t...

They didn't have one real game to demonstrate the motion control capabilities, just one awkward demo that would have been better with a joystick... Which makes me think they weren't planning on it before the Revmote announcement.
