Pre-emptive Sony News thread.
Well, FF13 is out Tuesday, and my brother was kind enough to pre-order it for me today. No guide, but that just means it'll be more of a challenge and there might be something left not totally ruined for me from having followed it through production.
In other news, the PS3 motion controller's name has been leaked as the PlayStation Arc, which Sony has yet to confirm, but we all know how well they keep secrets and they have a domain registered for it, among other things. It's set to debut this fall, just to make sure it's in perfect working order to compete with Natal, released about the same time. The final design could be described as a man's electric razor with a light bulb on top, but I'll let you guys judge. I really don't care what it looks like so long as it works as well as it did in the demo and doesn't cause my hand shocking pain from holding it. Let the countdown begin!

The jokes are going to be endless about the nipple top. Seriously, I hope they tone down the force feedback. That gets annoying after a while. |

Sony is a genius.
They alone are exploiting the enormous potential that lies in combining a motion controller and a vibrator. |

I honestly don't know why this thing is getting the attention it is.
A company is trying to cash in on a controller gimmick that another company already did, and when the first company did it, very rarely did it actually improve the gameplay of whatever game it was attached to. Call me a pessimist, but I don't give a fuck.

Dread that Gamefly will actually send it to me on time.

This one has been shown to already work like a dream, and while it's not a light gun like the Wii setup, I see no reason it can't be used for point and click if someone wants it to be. The difference is that it already does more than that and can also theoretically include some body-tracking due to there being an actual camera, so it's really more like a happy medium between MotionPlus and Natal, which from my perspective is exciting, because it could easily mean the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Basically, I see this as a system with a lot of potential and hope that it's used effectively.

Yeah the fact that the Wii was marketed to do things it didn't do until Nintendo sold you an attachment to fix it has a majority to do with why I'm at least curious.
Having said thus, fuck motion control.
