Cowen and Co. Analyst Prefers Sony’s Motion Control
Posted by Darrin in PlayStation Move on June 25th, 2009
When asked about what went under reported at this year’s E3, Cowen & Co. analyst said:
The Project Natal demo from Microsoft got most of the ink, but I really thought Sony’s demo was superior from a gaming perspective.
Natal appeared to me to be a technological solution in search of a problem. Do I really care if I can navigate my Netflix queue without using a controller? I had a very hard time envisioning playing Modern Warfare 3 using Natal. By contrast, I had a very easy time envisioning it (and enjoying it) using Sony’s control/motion capture scheme.
With the public putting so much blind faith in motion control, I’m glad to see more skeptics like this guy.
However, to be honest, I’m still skeptical about Sony’s wand device. How would one play Modern Warfare 3 with Sony’s wand? Would it just be a fancy light gun? You can’t turn more than 45 degrees or so since you need to keep looking at your TV. You would still need to turn/navigate with a traditional analog stick, and shoot/reload/jump/action with buttons.

PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.80 Hidden Change
Posted by T0SH in Firmware Updates on June 25th, 2009
Strange how Sony never releases a full change log. ps3attitude.com found out one new thing.
The first change comes via the new Text Chat feature that launched with the last upgrade. Instead of a meagre 32 character limit for each line of text, you can now type – wait for it – 64 whole characters on every line!
Good that it includes more characters, anyone else find any “hidden” features?
The Agent is a 1970′s Espionage Game
“It’s a completely different storyline, there is completely different character development. It’s a game about espionage, set in the 1970s. GTA is obviously more about an urban experience, a typically rags to riches experience. Very, very different storylines, very different character development. It’s going to be very fresh for gamers.”
It’s not much Info to go on, but at least it’s something. Sounds like the game could be pretty far off though.
