Don't be Fooled by Fake Prototype Images Going Around

Taken from XboxFamily.com:
"Sadly, whenever a big story breaks, every scammer on the planet tries to find a new angle. That has happened with the news of Microsoft working on a motion-sensing controller add-on for the Xbox 360. Don't be fooled by fake images.

Below are images of the original motion-sensing prototypes that Gyration had designed for the Wii in 2001. For some reason, misinformed people are posting these images as the "new controller". Considering Gyrations is rumored to be working on an add-on, not a controller, that should be people's first clue. Also considering the images have been around for six years, well that should be another clue.

Images below are from 2001. They are not new."

Playing Bioshock or Mass effect with sensing could be fun + for the game
so why is there a hate towards MS considering getting motion controllers?

is fun and fun should be for all...

InMyOpinion5957d ago

I'm sorry, but in what way would Mass Effect benefit from motion sensing??

sonarus5956d ago

playing games with motion sensing should be fun. lol ppls opinions for motion controls already starting to change. i thought sixaxis in lair sucked but the game sucked on a whole. Then there was ratchet and clank with very fine 6 axis use. But to everyone 6axis is unnecessary and bla bla now xbots cnt wait to get their hands on it. Also remember how everyone made a fuss when sony announced rumble but its cool as msoft gets motion controllers cus its msoft.
Anyway overall i'm happy with 6 axis becoming standard more devs will apply depth to motion sensing controls. xbox360 motion sensing even has a chance to be better than ps3's but we'll see

vgn245957d ago

Anyways, this is just saying that the images people are seeing around the net aren't of the new hardware.

HeartlesskizZ5957d ago

yep plus I don't recall any official news from MS about this or did I missed it?

BloodySinner5957d ago

And all the PS3 fanboys who were talking trash have been put to shame. - http://n4g.com/xbox360/News...

I won't even name them. Not worth the time or the read, for that matter.

WIIIS15957d ago

PS3 fanboys making fools of themselves is nothing new. It became a habit with them since pre-PS3 launch.

Biphter5957d ago

And the biggest Xbox 360/HDDVD fanboy and Sony Hater on this site.

BloodySinner5957d ago (Edited 5957d ago )

The user who tipsed the story was applenplum. Bloodmask simply found it in the tips section as a piece of a news (like all Contributors of this site do including myself) and decided to make it public. Is that a crime now?

Shaka2K65957d ago

Damn that was the hottest controler i saw in my life to bad they cancell it beacuase of all the internet hate and anti-Sony foece went in full force on that one.

anyways Sixaxis is the most confortable gaming controler in the history of gaming but that protope looked like the best way to improve it looked so cool and futuristic.

i love Sony they make the hottest products in the world.

GunShotEddy5957d ago

Who canceled what? The Wii prototype from 2001? Nope, not canceled. Actually, I think it's whooping everyone's tail right now.

KillJoi995956d ago

try the 360 controler then. Ill give you props, the six axis is nice and light, but the 360's just sits really smoothly and I son't like te thumbstick placement of the six axis.

GunShotEddy5957d ago

I knew those images looked familiar. So quick skip to XF and bam. Debunked.

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19923d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19892d ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco332d ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
