I'm cool cuz I Fold
Consta que está em desenvolvimento uma pad com sensor de movimentos para a 360.
De acordo com o MTV News, a Rare está a trabalhar numa espécie de Wiimote para a consola Microsoft.
Uma fonte terá adiantado ao site que o comando se encontra em desenvolvimento desde Agosto e deverá ser lançado no Natal.
Segundo consta, o dito periférico terá quatro botões, um stick analógico, micro e deverá interagir com a câmara Xbox Live Vision.
A mesma fonte acrescenta que kits de desenvolvimento para jogos compatíveis com o comando foram já distribuídos.
Para além da pad, consta que a Rare está também empenhada nuns clones dos Miis, avatars que serão associados a qualquer jogo que usar o dito comando.
Por enquanto, ainda se trata de um rumor, mas não convém esquecer as palavras de Bill Gates datadas de Maio de 2006: “Temos espaço para a inovação, mas movimentar aquele comando é algo que não é primeira importância para a maioria dos jogos. Ainda há muito a aprender sobre esses comandos”. A ver vamos se o peixe não morre pela boca.
Entretanto, fiquem com o desenho da suposta pad realizado para o artigo da MTV.

Microsoft is developing its own version of Nintendo's Wii controller for the Xbox 360, says MTV News (really). A rather chatty source--who provided the illustration below -- tells MTV that Microsoft has been working on the new device since August, and should have it ready to go before the end of the year. Based on the art MTV has provided, the supposed Xbox controller looks a lot like the Wii controller, but MTV's source says the company has something much more ambitious in mind. Supposedly it will work not just with simple bowling/tennis games, like the Wii's, but also with complex fare like Halo. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft's attempt at complicating the Wii has not been working so well -- their source called the process a "clusterf--k."
Even if it was going well, we're not convinced it's a good idea: The Wii works because it's simple. But if they pull it off and can combine Wii features with some compelling new titles, maybe it will give Xbox a chance to stave off the PS3 unit sales growth.
By the end of the year the Xbox could have a Blu-Ray player, sell Netflix movies and be just as much fun as the Wii. Perhaps this year's Christmas story will be Xbox shortages?

Toronto - According to MTV News, Microsoft is planning to release a motion controller for the Xbox 360 by the end of the year. The controller is expected to be a rip-off of the Nintendo Wii motion controller, the Wii Remote.
MTV News has cited unnamed sources in their story.
Microsoft has Rare working on the interface for the controller, as well as avatars for Xbox Live which will work just like the Mii characters made famous on the Nintendo Wii.
Microsoft is reportedly working hard to get it out by the end of 2008, with an announcement expected at E3 2008 about the impending release.
We will have to wait and see if thsi actually happens, but it is looking like it could be a possibility.
We’ll find out how credible MTV News really is in the coming months.

Mtv news é de confiar?

O A,X,Y,B não me parecem muito confortaveis mas veremos.

Sinceramente acho que eles fazem bem.
Podem chamá-los de imitadores, mas os videojogos têm de evoluir, se imitarem um wii mote melhorado, melhor.
 
Última edição:
Já o disseram por aqui, se quisessemos jogabilidade igual a da Wii, já teríamos comprado, até que é mais barata.

E já disseram noutro artigo qualquer, muitos add-ons 'radicais' matam uma consola...
 
E aqueles que têm 360 e não têm nem querem wii.
Vêm este comando e podem-no experimentar, quanto mais alternativas melhor e o investimento não deve ter sido muito grande.
 
Enfim, espero que não seja verdade. Se não sabem ao certo o caminho que querem seguir é mau sinal... caso tenham ficado assim tão interessados no sucesso da Nintendo Wii então que aguardem pela próxima geração para poderem fazer algo com pés e cabeça, e não um add-on à pressão só com intuito de tentar aumentar as vendas.

Opinion: Wii-Style remote for Xbox 360 similar to an earlier April Fool's joke
InformationWeek has been looking at the validity of a report by MTV that said Microsoft had been working on a Wii-Style remote for Xbox 360 since last summer. They say that the story is remarkably similar to an April Fool's joke that was posted on Microsoft's Macintosh business unit blog. The joke stated that Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit was to launch a product line of Mac-based Microsoft games using the Apple Remote as a game controller. Microsoft hasn't commented directly on the rumor, sticking to their company rule to not respond to rumors.

"Picture swinging the Apple remote in your hand like a tennis racket or golf club," said Mac BU general manager Craig Eisler, on the blog. "Then imagine that controlling an actual tennis or golf game on your Mac," Eisler wrote.

Eisler said, apocryphally, that Microsoft had also planted a hidden game in PowerPoint 2008 for Mac that could be controlled with the Apple Remote. The game was called Prance Prance Devolution. Players could unlock the game by performing a tortuous series of button pushes on the Apple Remote, Eisler said.

Microsoft isn't saying whether it's actually developing a Wii-style remote for the Xbox 360. If not, the joke is on MTV.

MTV: Xbox 360's Wii-Style controller not a joke

You: Is this an April Fools' Day joke?

"April Fools was a few days ago, guy." — BlackAdvent, commenting on gaming blog Kotaku

MTV News: MTV News has been doing background reporting on this story for several months, but only recently felt the facts were solid enough to file a report.

You: Isn't that just a sketch Made in MS Paint? There's no way that's a real Microsoft development sketch. (See the sketch for yourself.)

"That pic is a joke. Nobody, let alone Microsoft, would file a patent or trademark with a pic like that." — Ron Workman, commenting on the MTV Multiplayer blog

MTV News: Correct. Our primary development source (who isn't an artist) couldn't produce a photograph of Microsoft's controller prototype without potentially compromising his position and studio. MTV News instead asked him to produce a sketch, to give us an idea of what the prototype looked like, which he then produced in MS Paint.

You: Is this story based on what just one person told you? What do they know?

MTV News: Only one source was able to provide MTV News with a sketch. That source also provided MTV News with a project code name but didn't feel comfortable sharing the code name for fear it would identify him. That said, MTV News has been covering games in-depth for years, and reporter Patrick Klepek has more than 10 years' experience on the beat. The contacts gained during that time enabled us to confirm with at least two other high-level individuals in the gaming industry that Microsoft has been developing motion-controller prototypes, even if they hadn't seen this particular prototype firsthand. Other sources said they had heard rumors of varying degrees — Rare's involvement, a Wiimote-like controller — and didn't have firsthand knowledge, but their details supported our primary source's claims.

You: Didn't your quoted source contradict him- or herself by saying Microsoft wants to make "Halo"-style games for this controller and to convince publishers to port more casual Wii games to the 360? And didn't GameSpot call you out on that?

MTV News: We also recognized this apparent contradiction, and our development source said this stemmed from Microsoft's own confusion on what kinds of games the controller is targeted. "The whole thing is a colossal clusterf---," as our source put it. It's believed that Microsoft is toying with both possibilities to see what works and what doesn't.

You: You never outright say this is going to come out. Aren't you really just reporting a rumor that may never come true?

" 'If the project comes to fruition ...' See, that's the thing. I can confirm, as I'm sure your writer can as well, that this product will never see the light of day. That is of course why you wrote this line. You need to give yourself an out. So sad, so very sad. This article's author is merely recycling old rumors that have already been proven false" — Truth317, commenting on MTVNews.com

MTV News: Game companies regularly work on prototype controllers. The nature of those prototypes is indeed news, as is any detailed information, including sketches, of those prototypes. While we reported that this project has been in the works since the summer and tied to the development studio Rare, we are not privy to Microsoft's current plans for the project. Microsoft declined to comment on our reporting.

You: If this is real, isn't Microsoft just ripping off Nintendo?

MTV News: Once the Wii took off with the mainstream, it would be surprising to learn that Microsoft and Sony weren't both working on controllers playing off Nintendo's successes. Their stockholders would demand it. MTV News characterized Microsoft's in-development controller as a prototype. When (and if) the controller is made public, it could have a different look, nature and design philosophy, but MTV News believed our insight provided an interesting snapshot of where Microsoft's ideas are currently taking them.

A ser verdade não me interessa minimamente. E espero que não façam como na PS3, que alguns jogos tem motion sensing só para dizer que sim, e atrofiam por completo a jogabilidade.
 
A existir será apenas um acessório... não vem incluído com a consola por isso dúvido que haja grande suporte por parte dos developers.

Pode é ser uma experiência para a próxima geração da XBOX.
 
Insiders claim to confirm existance of official Xbox Wiimote known as 'Newton'

8bitjoystick are claiming that they can confirm the existance of an Official Xbox Wiimote clone project which currently has a codename of 'Newton'. According to them, the hardrware is still a work in progress and it might be a matter of months before any kind of production gets underway.

I can now confirm the existence of the Xbox Wiimote clone project and I can tell you the project code name : "Newton"

The "Newton" controller's code name is after the physicist Sir Isaac Newton. The internal Microsoft engineering code name is for this controller is "Newton" as in Newtonian Physics relating to gravity, inertia and acceleration. This is not to be confused with the defunct Apple Newton PDA, this is just and internal name, when this controller comes to market it will have a retail name.

The hardware is still being worked on and it might be a couple months before we see leaked shots of prototypes when they start to mass manufacture it but I am sure that there is an early software developer kit and prototype out there.

A ser verdade a Nintendo pode perder terreno na liderança das consolas.
Se a 360 tiver capacidade para correr os mesmos jogos que a wii (mesma interface) os jogos não exclusivos passam a estar disponíveis nas 2.

Para quem não se interessa EXCLUSIVAMENTE por exclusivos tem uma hipótese de ter uma quantidade de jogos bem mais alargada, e de qualidade.

Quem fica ainda pior é a PS3, a ver se a sony lança mais coisas novas, interessa-me que as 3 disputem o mercado ;)
