This is business, stop being so butt-hurt over it. Tell me what's being harmed by Sony doing this? Nothing. If anything we as gamers are benefitting over technology being more wide spread between different companies. Nintendo was the first to use an Analog stick? Big deal. Look at Ape Escape, great usage of it; not saying it's the best, but if Sony hadn't taken THE OBVIOUS NEXT STEP in controllers because someone else had done it before, would it be standard? I have a hard time imagining modern gaming if companies were too afraid of overly-enthusiastic flamboyant fans crying over videogame concepts being stolen from other companies, we might not have analog sticks on Xbox and Playstation controllers now. This is the real world, ideas are public domain, and because of the fact that companies are not allowed to Monopolize anymore, we see far more progress in technology.
The real question is, why are you so worked up about Videogame technology being stolen? You either play a videogame because you want to, or you don't, it's as simple as that, you should remember one of the basic rules of human courtesy, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean no one likes it, a direct criticism of something simply because you don't like it, is an act of trolling, what other could you gain from such a pointless argument? Yes, Sony stole concepts from Nintendo, yes it's pretty obvious, congrats. They're allowed to. OMG!!!!
!!!!! You don't like it? Pointing out the obvious is unmistakably what you should do.
This may seem harsh, and I'm sorry. Your opinion is very valid, but it kind of goes without having to be said. This will only cause progress, if Sony hadn't threatened on Nintendo with it's Move, Nintendo may not have released the motion plus, not to mention Sony themselves may prove something new that Nintendo has not with the technology, and it will push Nintendo to do something else to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market. Yeah it's obviously stolen technology, but this is a good thing.
You are right, and your post is very thoughtful and objective, but still you have to consider that :
- Putting an analog stick ( or 2 ) in the dual shock, was perhaps a ' natural ' evolving of the technology.
however the Move, is clearly, undeniable molded after the Wii remote , and with the ' navigator ' ( which is inferior to the nunchuck because it's not even motion sensitive ) it looks waay to much like the Nintendo Wii remote + nunchuck, just oo much to be ' coincidence ' or natural evolving.
- The Move sports games are clearly ' inspired ' by Wii Sports, nobody can deny it .
- The fricking promotional video for the Move, feels just like a bad imitation of the Wii would like to play ad, and you don't have to take my word for it, another user posted the two videos sides by sides for all of us to compare just a few posts above, it's just undeniable.
Now I might just don't care and forgive all of this if Sony was less arrogant and more honest about them appreciating Nintendo and maybe paying homage to them by releasing a somewhat ' improved ' controller, but they claim they have been working on it for years.......yeah, right, but they didn't have the balls to take a risk and release it to the public before Nintendo would actually take the big step first.
Also, I would forgive EVERY Sony fanboy out there for claiming that the move is better and totally different, however then thing I cannot forgive is that FOR YEARS SONY FANBOYS HAVE BEEN MAKING FUN OF THE WII AND THE REMOTE CALLING IT A FAD, GIMMICK, STUPID, CHILDISH, RETARD AND EMBARASSING, AND NOW THAT SONY'S VERSION OF THE REMOTE IS OUT, SUDDENLY MOTION SENSITIVE CONTROLLERS AND GAMES ARE THE NEXT BEST THING !
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, sure, but as a man you should stand by it.
You've been saying that the Wii remote sucks and motion sensitive games are retarded, now you shoud stand by your idea and refuse to buy a Move or PS3 motion sensitive games.
If you buy motion sensitive games now, YOU suck , and you proved that you were bashing the Wii remote just because it was made by Nintendo and not Sony. It was only envy, and fanboyism.
Now people accuses me of being a Nintendo fanboy because I profoundly despise the Move and call it a rip off, well at least I'm honest and I admit it openly, and I still wouldn't get a Move.
) and thus many people will just ignore it and move on with their lives rather than waste precious time to read something they don't really care about anyway.
