DS3: strafe + look (camera)
MC: aim (pointer) and shoot
of course "simultaneous move and shoot" tech is too complex for RE5.

That could work too in the right context. The light should flare up as P2 fires ! ^_^
The other thing is to allow the users to make some simple motion controller game a la LBP style.

Stop taking pot shots at the devs. I don't agree at all, the control scheme looks from awkward to limited to me.
I was a bit surprisedwhen they announced that the waggle would work on its own (no nun-chuck style) but I got convinced by some here that it was too unlikely for Sony to not have an analog stick in that case which sounds true enough to me.
Now I'm more than iffy about the whole thing. Basically Sony gives in my opinion too many options;
use two wands (but no directional input)
one wand (but no directional input)
DS3/sixaxis + wand a bad take on the wii-mote nun chuck combo.
The two first solutions hits the same problems as Natal, how adapt "core" games mechanics, and putting aside empty statement from some devs (see today talk about Natal) we have no concrete solution.
The last one is more than a bit awkward imho. Not to mention that the soft would have to use or DS3 or sixaxis (I mean your not sure the left hand is able to sense motion, which would be nice to port wii games).
Honestly Sony seems to have address some issue related to the wimote+nunchuck (precision) and I believed that they might in a good position to deliver an effectif pointing system for FPS, RTS etc "core" game and it looks clearer and clearer that they are about to throw away that opportunity.

I guess the news is the confirmation of GT5 not coming out this year.
You should have directional input with 2 wands
This is the problematic case for core gamers. We need the thumb stick for traditional use.
Yes, but co-op can be awesome.
For US people, it's mostly minor updates (e.g., PS3 Slim retail sales is estimated to be 1 mil, GT5 coming only in March 2010, FF8 on PSN, ...). For Japanese gamers, there are probably more things for them since they are into portable gaming. All those PSP news (e.g., digital comics) is more relevant to them than us.
Hmm... probably right in most cases. The only words about 2 wands is Shuhei mentioning that there can be added functionality for dual wand systems. Co-op certainly falls under it. I wonder if the shield and sword combo will require 2 wands (or 1 DS3 and 1 wand).
Sony will need to think about revving DS3 seriously if they want to enjoy Wii ports. And focus on co-op games in the mean time.

Ease of use.
What about battery charging? Do they actually allow putting AA batteries in the wand? Or is it sealed like the Sixaxis & DS3? Bummer about the lack of speaker, that's really neat on the Wii.

Nothing a redesigned DS3 wouldnt fix. DS3 wasnt designed for use in one hand and using it like that just isnt going to be practical. I have a DS3 in just my left hand now and yea i could use it like this, but not for several hours, i have cramp after 5 minutes...
It's more like ease of handling rather than ease of use. I like the wireless set up and dislike the wire between the nunchuck and the Wiimote. I agree totally that they need to have a simpler nunchuck if they want to go the Wii way. However I also think that Sony should focus on some of the ideas above because they can gel core gamers and casual gamers nicely (which is a common scenario).
For battery, the specs indicate that the PS3 motion controller has a fixed rechargeable battery (like DS3).
Don't think it's a good idea to compare Wiimote and this thing point by point. The PS Eye and the light ball are there to provide other support.

FF7 is already out since a while and they are just the PSone games, which all run on the PSP (the PSP can play PSone games from PSN). Hopefully FF8 will be up tonight.
Anyone know what time the US PSN store updates on thursday? (Don't forget to mention time and timezone)

Does anybody here actually think this motion controller is going to be a sucess? I don't see how it will be... even on the wii developers are struggling to use it effectively, the majority of games are better suited to a tradional pad pure and simple.
Hopefully not
7.1 surround support and pretty good idea to where player is, I say they can do much better than wiimoote speakers
I don't think it has to replace the pad to be successful, look at the eyetoy/eye which is a requirement for only a small number of games but it can augment a bigger number of games with features. If the price is right and it gets 2-3 good games, its enough to get the ball rolling and we`re gonna see some optional stuff in games that are still controlled primary by Pad. For example in Uncharted instead of having to switch to grenades and waggle around with your pad to adjust the angle just grab the "wand", hold the trigger to aim and release.
I wouldn't mind if it replaces some more uses of the hated sixaxis motion controls in a similar fashion.
What I'm concerned however is the lag that was apparent to the naked eye in the Gametrailers videos(around 1:55), it takes less to "feel" lag than to be easily able to see it.

Is it really complicated though?
The Motion Controller is as simple as that of the Wii's.
The other is just the analog stick that will be used unless specified otherwise.
