theyve totaly tried copying the ps3 one without making it too obvious.cant beleive its took microsoft 5 years to bring out a gun

Shnazzyone4730d ago

Sony totally copied the wiimote and the innumerable worthless plastic snap in garbage made for that so i doubt they are going to be that bothered if anyone makes comparisons.

sony gun = lol

Microsoft gun = desperate

rezzah4730d ago

Sony's gun makes sense, Wii's gun doesn't.

Wii = Slip in the controller and nothing changes.

Sony = Slip in the controller and the button layout changes to suit the wielder of the gun. Replicating a real one in it's own way.

Though I doubt you'd understand since you basically see it only as a blatant rip off.

Every Playstation fanboy is secretly a Nintendo fanboy! Ps1 started out as Super Nintendo CD. But issues between the two companies forced a split, so Sony made a console.

They have been copying Nintendo since the beginning. The original Ps1 controller is a SNES with handles and 2 extra bumpers. Because it was designed for Nintendo, we were able to get all those games that Playstation fanboys feel entitled to such as MGS and FF.

They stuck close to the same formula of copying everything Nintendo does from the rumble pack all the way up to Move! It wasn't until the Ps3 that Sony tried to break off entirely and play the leader, but things didn't work out and they went back to copying big brother... Hell, they even try to copy MS from time to time!

So if you feel good about MS copying a gun, go right ahead if it makes you feel secure.

"They stuck close to the same formula of copying everything Nintendo does from the rumble pack all the way up to Move!"

Nintendo kids make me laugh. Rumble is hardly original. It was done in stand up arcade cabinet games years before nintendo thought of it.

As far as wii mote like controls go, Xavix came out with it 2 full years before the wii was on the market:

They all copy each other, people just pay attention when Sony does it, what about Xbox and the Dreamcast? Kinect and Eyetoy? They all copy each other, it's called evolution, one company comes out with something, then the next company makes it better.

@AAACE5

you got the story half right. you forgot to mentions how sony spent so much on R&D and suddenly Nintendo said they didnt want a cd based system anymore, sony even took them to court.

just use that link if you want to well informed.

@saoco

It wasn't "suddenly".

Sony also wanted to own all rights to their IPs.

Or so they say.
There are tons of reasons out there why they broke contract.

This will look great next to your fake plastic guitar, drums, keyboard, turntable, skateboard, and other fake plastic guns for all the other systems.

Soldierone4730d ago

But...it works with Cabela's game! thats like the best game ever made! lol (sarcasm of course)

ZBlacktt4730d ago

Yeah, I just got the game itself. Don't care to turn my game PS3 into a Wii. When I already have 2 Wii's and a Kinect for this kinda stuff.

Vitalogy4730d ago

And why is this article in PS3 section!? Go figure the constant seek of attention...

ZBlacktt4730d ago

Saw this at Gamestop tonight. I bought this very game there too, lol. Been playing all night. But I got it for my PS3 instead.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael72d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay71d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael72d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

S2Killinit72d ago

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM71d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj72d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor72d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj72d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman72d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese71d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX72d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek72d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin72d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
