Looks great, but uhh...the game was too easy in the first place, the game's controls were never a problem. I don't see this doing anything but making the game so easy as to break it. It's a good demonstration of the PS3 motion controller, and I like how smooth and steady the motion. Though I could do without the "waggle" when you are grabbed, it just looks silly/unnecessary/annoying, and it feels thrown in because they're used to doing it

That glowing ball on the end looks too fragile. :/

They should just say fuck it and not be afraid to make a "nunchuck"-esque accessory. It would be better anyways since it could easily be bluetooth enabled.

@Magnalon: I was saying it wasn't funny. Especially the ZING part. I want originality in my jokes.

The RE 5 comment was me being serious. It controls too well for its genre. No enemy is that scary. There's not a real sense of urgency. RE 4 was the same, but had some more threatening enemies.

Awkward control scheme is awkward.

They have to improve that thing before I use it. How did they not put some basic buttons on the thing?

Well, that video sealed the deal. Day-one purchase for me.

I just got RE5 for the PS3 for 27 bucks last month. Still haven't really played it until just tonight when I felt like playing a mindless action game. Pretty decent, I'll keep my eye on this and probably get it if only for the fact that it can help show off the motion controls on the PS3.

That and it looks like it plays smoother (less clunky controls -- but then I am getting used to the style of control that's new instead of playing with RE4 ones...its odd).

@Vimto I agree, even the guy in the demo video is holding at a weird angle. I grabbed my dual shock 3 and couldn't imagine a long play session holding that thing with one hand.

Uh...

Looks great. I was afraid the lack of IR-pointing would complicate things, but I was gladly mistaken. Day one purchase as well.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that Nintendo takes a beating when those add-ons are released. I have every console of theirs since the SNES, I love the company enough to say I am a Nintendo fanboy, but I really hope they're putting their pornographic profits to good use. Yeah, yeah, everybody loves Mario, New Super MArio Bros. Wii will be awesome, but let's face it, it could be done with the resources from a single day of Wii sales(exxageration intended).

What I mean is that, while the other companies are learning to make their game ooze production values, Nintendo is going on the opposite direction, making games more and more game-y. Both can co-exist in a single console, for chrissakes. The casual gamer won't run crying because of high production values. Sheesh.

Besides, it's time for a new console. Partly because of the HD thing, partly because the waggle has worn off and other people are taking a jab at it, partly because it's time for new, inventive ways to game. And I'm sure they've got something in the works with Vitality Sensor.

Looks pretty good, but I still don't understand the "cursor" movement.

To move up, and you just move your wrist like using a real pointer, or is it motion based so that you have to move your whole arm? If simple pointing is enough movement, then I'm reasonably impressed (although holding the regular controller one-handed still seems awkward). But if it's based on larger motions instead of just pointing I'm not so interested.

Have to wait and see, I guess.

Well I just held my Sixaxis like that guy. It's doable since it is so light but not practicle. I am sure if everyone keeps complaining Sony will just admit creating a one hand controller like the Wii Nunchuck.

So everyone keep complaining so they get out of their asses and make one!

@springsteen
if you look at your game collection, you're going to notice that nintendo games have one thing in common, gameplay. the graphics NEVER detract from the gameplay. there aren't any cg cutscenes, and in game graphics are always used during said cutscenes. this has always been the case, why would it change now?

i agree with the majority of posts here about the fact that the controls for this game are highly questionable. i'd rather just go play through re4 again instead. that's the good one anyway.

What kind of Resident Evil fan doesn't already have RE5? And why would they bother buying the same $60 game again just for a bit of new content and waggle?

Looking forward to the rock

Holding a regular controller in one hand for any length of time seems extremely uncomfortable, however it seems likely they'll release a nunchuck type device to fix that. I just don't like the idea of seeing a light up ball in front of me all the time while I'm playing but I'm probably just grumpy because I'm tired of motion controls.

Hopefully someone makes a Nunchuk controller for PS3.

Nah, they have to go all in on this, not just using the motion controller with the controller in the other hand. Why not just use the controller then? They know they need a nunchuck style controller, just like MS is going to realize they need a nunchuck styler controller for movement in some games. I think the rush to get it out is clouding the vision.

holding the PS3 controller and the Dildo at the same time looks Lame for me

is it me or is Sheva's AI actually improved?
