Hitting this fall in its three forms – alone, with the PlayStation Eye, or bundled with a PS3. The Playstation Move has been announced at the GDC. No pricing was given, but the bundle with the PlayStation Eye is said to run under $99.

But as we watched the whole thing go down we also started debating:

Do i smell trouble.. We see “controllers true TV’s”.
again We see “light Ballz of the controler comin or breaking off”.
We see “people hitting lamps and stuff”.
We see “a Wiimote like condom”.
We see “more than 4 people not able to play since the cam will pick up other controlres”.
We see “batteries running out in ultra fast speed”.
We see “only play able during night time” And I for see a whole lot more trouble for SONY..

Well that took a bit longer than we expected but here it finaly is. The BLAZE PS3™ Motion Freedom 3D Controller.

BLAZE PS3™ Motion Freedom 3D Controller
Wii-Mote Style Motion Sensing Controller for the PS3!
Three Dimensional motion sensing handheld controller for the PS3
Full Ps3 functions with direction pad and full button control
Put yourself in the game – provides Wii Style gaming interactivity
Super sensitive movement sensors detect your every move
Intuitive full function button layout keeps you in control of your game

Up to now there are only a hand full of games that would actually work with this device but our estimation is that this might quickly change. Although Blaze is a third party developer we do not know what Nintendo thinks of the idea that it is being promoted like a “Wii-like motion controller for the PS3″

Also here is their Press release that has something strange in it:

The World’s First Motion Sensing 3D Freedom Controller for Wii Style Action on your PS3
BLAZE reveal the ultimate in gaming interactivity for the PS3.

Doncaster, UK – 09 Oct 2009 – Video game accessory innovators BLAZE have today announced their truly unique motion sensing controller, allowing fully interactive gameplay never before experienced on the PS3.

The BLAZE PS3 Motion Freedom 3D Controller thrusts the PS3 gamer into the very heart of the action by employing the latest motion sensing technology which before now has only been the reserve of Nintendo Wii gamers.

This all new device opens up unthinkable gaming possibilities allowing you to interact and become one with the hottest PS3 sporting and action titles.

Sega Tennis becomes a whole new ball game when you use the new BLAZE controller to smash your opponent into submission, effortlessly and consistently firing deadly accurate backhands and meteoric volleys.

Take a big swing and drive your way to glory with the Tiger Woods Golf series. Put yourself on the virtual golf course when you use the Freedom 3D controller as your club of choice to send the ball home with pinpoint accuracy. Just remember, it’s all in the hips!

The intuitive button layout allows easy navigation of all game menus with amazing familiarity, incorporating a directional D-pad, analogue stick and the full brace of controls found on the original PS3 control pad.

The BLAZE PS3 Motion Freedom 3D Controller has been ergonomically designed from the ground up to give superior gaming comfort when the going gets tough, ensuring you are in complete control no matter how full-on the game play gets!

Price: £0.00

As we all know, Capcom loves to remake and re-release their Resident Evil games (Resident Evil Remake on the Gamecube, various ports of the other Resident Evil games on the Gamecube, as well as Resident Evil 4 on the Wii).

If the gameplay is anything like that in Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition then without a doubt it’s gonna be a real improvement on an already amazing game. Also, knowing Capcom, there will be some extra bonus goodies added to the Director’s Cut. Read more

just got our first brief taste of some of the retrofitted PS3 titles which would support Sony’s new, tentatively-named PlayStation Motion Controller during Sony’s TGS 2009 keynote. However, a piping hot press release gave us some of the most detailed info on the peripheral to date — most notable of which is the re-confirmation that the hardware is still on track for a Spring 2010 release.



Equally as titillating is a comprehensive list of first-party “Motion Controller dedicated and compatible titles” which are set to drop (or in the case of the pre-existing titles, receive the new functionality via a patch) throughout 2010:

Software Titles for Motion Controller from SCE Worldwide Studios
