Xbox 360 Controller Motion-Sensing Add-on

Both Nintendo and Sony have motion sensing controllers, so it's no surprise that Xbox 360 fanboys would get a little envious; who doesn't want to play games by flailing your arms around? So it'll be interesting for them to know that Team X-Tender has developed a tilt sensor that comes with an entire replacement shell for the back of your controller.

Eldon36193d ago

but how many developers will actually support this 3rd party add on?

Lord Anubis6193d ago

who ever bought the extension should get their money back, there's a big delay from the moment he moves the controller to the on screen action.

TheMART6193d ago

And you know because you have it?

@ Eldon3

If I'm right, every game can support it, because it takes over the controls of the stick if switched on for directions, which are the same in games where you use it.

Why o why6193d ago

@ marti. Why would you even want motion sensor. Your full of it mate. Your first comment should be something like: Why would we need a crappy fad of a function, we the360 kings dont need it.

Xeoset6193d ago

" so it’s no surprise that Xbox 360 fanboys would get a little envious;"

It should be called "New4SonyFangirls".

Why o why6193d ago

There are fans and fanboys if you know what i mean. Sometimes looking at the articles and comments on this site make me feel like deleting it from my favorites. Your preference is 360 and mines ps3. i have friends with 360's and we talk smack of course but we KNOW that our comments dont change a thing only games and the fun we have playing em. marti should actually play a ps3 because his attitude is childish or maybe this is 1 big joke for him. Somebody with a preference doesnt mean they're a fanboy but articles will lead for people to defend their preference in a fanboyish way. It needs to calm a little

gta_cb6192d ago

you say it needs to calm a little bit, but you are saying things like

TheMart should say something like "Why would we need a crappy fad of a function, we the360 kings dont need it."

.... yeh well it SEEMS like your trying to get a reaction from him...

Ru6193d ago

Everything Always Is Ridiculous
The statement about 360 fanboys should read 360 FANS
and then the statement would be correct because every console owner would like every feature available on every console.....
It's human Nature or some shnit!

StrboyM6193d ago

MS said HD wasnt necessary...then they added an HDMI port, then they upped thier HDD space... now they have tilt sensoring..I think they are building a..uhmm.... ps3..lmao

Xeoset6193d ago

MS said HDMI wasn't a big enough difference to add it. Userbase wanted it, asked and MS delivered.

Tilt Sensing is 3rd Party. Read for christ sake.

Nik6193d ago

everyone loves motion control. But games on X360 are not made for motion control so I wonder how well it'll work.

FCOLitsjustagame6193d ago

Sony said Rumble wasnt important but they are now getting it.
HDMI is used by a very small minority of the gaming community and adds to the price of the console. People said they wanted it so MS gave them a more expensive version of the console with it but you can still just buy the regular console if you want it.

I dont really see the point in motioin control. Maybe a few games it could be useful in and should have special contollers for, such as guitar hero. But mostly I do think it is gimicky and I would much rather play my general games with the regular controllers or a joystick of some type. It would be nice if we could get a flight stick with Ace Combat the way we can get a stearing wheel for driving games. Also it would be nice if there was an RTS controller of some type. But again MOST people buying game systems wont buy all the side items.

Numark6193d ago

yea, becuase we all know the ps3 was the first to have this feature...

And this is something that i suppose is neat, but nothing I would ever buy or use.

gta_cb6192d ago

umm if we want to start a war we can without people like you. but as we are talking about this, we could say something like sony said Rumble was last gen, but now there bringing it back.... hmmm... i havnt been keeping a close eye on Sony atm as i wont buy one til the price drops. but if you ask someone that knows alot about the PS3 and ISNT a fanboy i bet there are loads of things they have said then have said/done something different.

oh and like FCOLitsjustagame said

"People said they wanted it so MS gave them a more expensive version of the console with it but you can still just buy the regular console if you want it."

as for the story its cool, but i will stick to the basic controller (wireless for me lol)

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies14h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken10h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt13h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken10h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
