View Full Version : Did Ken Lobb just confirm a motion sensing 360 controller?
Speaking in an IGN walkthrough video of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Ken Lobb stated the following at around 4 minutes - "So you basically grab with the wrench, and then you twist the controller around." After saying this, he hesistated as if he wanted to retract his statement, but later continued as normal.
In a walkthrough video of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Lobb clearly states at the 4 minute mark: "So you basically grab with the wrench, and then you twist the controller around." Oddly enough, he hesitates for a second as if he wanted to take back that statement; however, it was done and over with. Microsoft and Rare have promised that there was more to Banjo and Kazooie than what was shown a few months back.
Did he mean analog stick? Maybe, but that is a big mistake. The wording is just too strange for him to mean analog stick. Aside from his strange wording, the game also has placeholders for certain button prompts. Why keep those a secret? With E3 right around the corner, I'm sure it's easy to accidentally reveal some big news a week early. Either way, we'll be reporting live from E3 next week and will keep you informed if the infamous motion controller is truly revealed.

I doubt it will catch on though it will be a while before more games use it if at all it will be like the gamecube bongos only one or two games will use it. BUT if it does catch on...stupid ripoff lol everyone stop copying and move foward I want a controllerless console moving around using the brain!:D
p.s. Did anyone else think of goldeneye when they read ken lobb?

if the contoller comes with the game just like the trivia game on the 360 then why would anyone complain?? sure if you have to buy it seperatley or if they jack the price of the combo up...but the trivia game is $50 with 4 controllers

really. I do think ... it's ps3 ripoff controller.
+ it's can play pass game that used old controller. new game can have two controller configure so new title compatable to both controller.
+ thare is tons of port between xbox360 and ps3.
+ long ago microsoft have been make ps3 like controller for pc. no one can sue microsoft.
- when most user have only old controller. who will make game that need new controller ?
- while Wii ripoff controller sound good. it have some thing to do about possible sue form nintendo.

Who cares if they bring this out? It'll add fun little elements to games... don't get your panties in a twist.

Even if they do motion sensing, it will not be anything like on the Wii. Motion sensing itself is not novel and therefor can not be patented. However, the way motion sensing is implemented in the wii and the shape/layout of the wiimote is all patented. If M$ tried to copy it, they would have a huge lawsuit on their hands. Consequently, I expect something more like the PS3 which simply adds motion sensing to an existing form factor.

Still have one of those, the sixaxis is about as accurate, its great for flight but rubbish for motorstorm etc, sixaxis does have a better neutral position though but i find a hard turn requires too much effort and the near twisting of arms. The wiki is wrong.. i dont think motocross madness did get away with it :D
