When it comes to all things CES, words only mean so much. Anyone can claim to have the hottest, most feature-packed device on the planet, but you truly need to see the product in question to believe.
CNET got its hands on the Sixense control system, which is essentially a Wii remote with the accuracy of a Bullet Hell aficionado. The remote utillizes a technology called TrueMotion to measure exactly what position the controller is in, allowing for much more realistic on-screen movement.
Developers have had the tools necessary to integrate TrueMotion into their games for over a year now, and come this December, when the Sixense controller ships, a few PC titles will support the tech.
Crysis, Call of Duty 4, and Madden were listed as examples of compatible games, but Sixense says we won't be seeing a console version of its remote until 2010 at the earliest. I must say, I'm liking what was shown in the video demonstration.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I think this is pretty cool. The Wiimote is great, but the rest of the tech in the Wii is outdated, so I've been waiting for something like this. Hope it doesn't cost too much though. I'd love to try Crysis and Half Life 2 with it.

I doubt it's a Wii killer at all, it would have to have LOADS of family appeal to stand a chance in the same market.
That's pretty cool for a baseball game, but how exactly is it going to improve a current shooter like Crysis?
And now that we're 3 Christmases past when the Wii first came out we finally can see what innovative gameplay types this will benefit.
Casual games.
Awesome.
I'll just be over here clutching my standard controller, waiting for the Wii to get a game that I actually want to play.
Doesn't sound fun.
The Wii remote is laggy? News to me --- I've never had a single problem with it.
I'm really impressed with that video. However, I'm gonna have to go with Justice and say that I'll wait to see what Wii MotionPlus does. If Nintendo's words are true, then we'll have this on the Wii soon enough.
I guess I'd be more excited about this if I were a PC gamer, but I'm really not. I'm getting into more Valve stuff, but that's honestly about it.
