Motus Shows Off Xbox 360 Motion Controller

uk.gizmodo.com — With an unlikely PS3 motion-sensing controller popping up at one peripherals maker earlier this week, it's little surprise that - just days before E3 is due to kick off - that one appears for the Xbox 360. This one from hardware maker Motus Games, however, looks a lot more real and there's even a few videos of it in action.

  • withoutamartyr, on 07/11/2008, -11/+109Thing looks like a ***** lightsabre.

    Good enough for me.
  • kinggimped, on 07/11/2008, -21/+87First Nintendo fanboi to weigh in and shout "OMG WII RIPOFF" gets the new Motus Xbox 360 motion controller inserted up their ass.
  • duggtodeath, on 07/11/2008, -2/+60Dildosaber
  • Zamfir, on 07/11/2008, -11/+57Thing looks like a ***** dildo.

    Good enough for my ass.
  • IWDA4, on 07/11/2008, -1/+42Does it vibrate? Please tell me it vibrates?
  • Takfam, on 07/11/2008, -12/+40Sorry, but it is a Wii ripoff. 360 would never have even considered a product like this were it not for the success of the Wii.
  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -4/+26This is also a dupe posted over 18 hours ago, stop Digging the Gizmodo crap:

  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -3/+24It looks like it would fit perfectly...

    ...is that by design or something?
  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -2/+22lol game consoles, let's make one!
    lol mp3 player, let's make one!
  • sleepingcitizen, on 07/11/2008, -1/+15Man, these Busted Tees models are smoking. its distracting. i find i spend half the time on digg just looking at them.
  • IllBeBack, on 07/11/2008, -2/+16Those protruding buttons might rip you a whole new *****, but whatever dude. Go for it.
  • mywhitenoise, on 07/11/2008, -1/+13Maybe it is....that things response time and accuracy is way worse than the Wii remote.
  • CarnivalOfDust, on 07/11/2008, -0/+11Did you watch the attached video?! If that's your response time, then.... man, I'm sorry.
  • EVogel, on 07/11/2008, -3/+14what what, in the butt
  • nunofgs, on 07/11/2008, -8/+18Honestly that thing looks clunky and has a horrible response time.
  • santasing, on 07/11/2008, -1/+12That thing kind of looks clunky and ugly.
  • greevar, on 07/11/2008, -0/+11I would agree with you if not for the fact that the Xbox360 team is not developing this and is in no way involved in it. If you read the article you would see that this is being developed by Motus. Not only that, Nintendo is certainly not the first to dream up this type of technology.
  • papusman, on 07/11/2008, -0/+11Real or not, ripoff or not, I think it's funny to see someone explain how it works, as if anyone in the world hasn't played with the wiimote yet. "You see ,you wave this doohickey here, and it corresponds to what you see ON SCREEN!"
  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -5/+16The best ideas are stolen. get used to it
  • greevar, on 07/11/2008, -1/+10I do hope that is a promise!
  • HigherLogic, on 07/11/2008, -1/+9OMG!!1!! Nintendo so ripped off the Magnavox Odyssey!
  • inajeep, on 07/11/2008, -0/+7There is only one way to tell. Well, actually there are several but I know which way your going to check.
  • faithhammer, on 07/11/2008, -0/+7If legitimate, I wonder how that would be with The Force Unleashed...
  • Cloud7654, on 07/11/2008, -1/+7Zamfir:
    You sound like Chad Warden.
  • mywhitenoise, on 07/11/2008, -3/+9That's what I say about Wii. "I feel like I've played these games before...some other console".
  • FishRHuman2, on 07/11/2008, -1/+7It can and will if you keep posting stupid comments.
  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -4/+10You ***** off, Digg is being played with Shouts and big sites to keep smaller sites that posted the information first from ever being seen.
  • gametavern, on 07/11/2008, -0/+6erm... do the move on screen have anything to do with the moves he's making with his dildo-troller?
  • Chebsi, on 07/11/2008, -0/+6The snorgtees babes aren't that bad either.
  • IndigoMoss, on 07/11/2008, -0/+6If your really really stoned...
  • Krispy, on 07/11/2008, -2/+8what is up with the response time?
  • jamada88, on 07/11/2008, -3/+8Haha! "Dildosaber"... :-D
  • evil-doer, on 07/11/2008, -0/+5if my really really stoned what?
  • Hoogs, on 07/11/2008, -0/+5...does it vibrate?
  • hotpuck6, on 07/11/2008, -1/+6that looks absolutely ridiculous. There's no way that would be certified as an official peripheral looking like that.
  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -5/+9This is far from new news, http://www.motusgames.com. The most likely use for this controller would be for the PS3 (if at all) since it is rumored to have a "break-apart" controller. These are also only tech demos.

    In2Games is however making a controller (or using their technology in one) for PS3 and Xbox 360. Here's the whole story on the whole motion controller debacle:

  • mushoo, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4Looks like that dude is jerking off Pegasus.
  • Klowner, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4"As you can see, we chose motions that correspond to Harry's in-game gestures"

    ..are you sure about that?
  • mimigins, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4I put on my robe and wizard hat...
    And wave my motion-sensing wand...
  • inactive, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4You beat me to it.
  • ChileanGoD, on 07/11/2008, -2/+5JoyStick?
  • mrn111, on 07/11/2008, -0/+3Oh, they're selling t-shirts?
  • DraxusD, on 07/11/2008, -1/+3if your really really stoned ass is really stoned
  • ChileanGoD, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Actually, its a hollow cylinder with one side opened. It comes with a tube of lubricant. Figure out the rest.
  • chaosblade77, on 07/12/2008, -0/+2Between that and the horrible response time mentioned above, I can't see why anyone would be interested in this... besides, how many developers would take advantage of it anyway?
  • Halokhan, on 07/12/2008, -0/+2Why do wii need motion control again?
  • mywhitenoise, on 07/11/2008, -2/+4Those shirts are retarded, though. Memes on your shirt, begging for a punch in the face.
    That's the equivalent to those witty smart ass shirts Hot Topic sold years ago.
  • Managua8Green, on 07/12/2008, -1/+3super
  • opmike, on 07/11/2008, -1/+3I'm sorry, could you possibly make it more clunky and less responsive for me? Thanks.
  • exomni, on 07/12/2008, -0/+2"We can use both hands for more complex spells"

    Wow. There goes the whole wand/motion controller link there. What the ***** is the point if you're not even trying to emulate the motion of a wand?

    Pathetic. So pathetic.
