Playstation Vitamins?
People on this board are so pessimistic! No one has any faith.

When you try to compete with tablets (well the iPad basically) on the living room, it would be better than with something that isn't like one of those cheap bq tablets. People will use their fingers and they won't have the same experience....
And I clearly think that capacitive is much more that pinch zoom, but well...
Sorry it was a little reductionist. I should have said motion gaming hasn't really been what I was hoping it would be. Wii U seems a lot more promising to me.
Can't you accomplish the same thing with a touch screen?
Haha, I thought the Slim was better looking but not by much. I guess the size of the Slim helped with that but it just looked a lot more cohesive than the og PS3.

When is the Reggie interview? I doubt we'll get any news at CES.
You can do pointer controls with a touchscreen?!
It is cheap. Nintendo should release a $150 controller just so people don't think that it's cheap, especially considering how cheap most consoles look?
Say what more multitouch offers, or stop saying that it offers more.

Tomorrow night.
HotD:OK Great with pointer controls, would be boring with a touchscreen.
TypingotD: Great with a touchscreen, would be hell using a pointer.

The Gyro controls make a decent substitute for pointer.
I liked aiming the bow in Skyward Sword with the Wii Motion + but i hated the item menu and dialog selection with it.

Awesome! Too bad we won't get any new WiiU news until E3.
The latter two can be used with the analog controls.

multitouch could have clearly benefits on RTS games, selecting different units and guiding them to different objectives all at the same time, just for example and other amount of possibilities just like a stylus.
And I think that's the problem, the controller needs to be cheap but it shouldn't be cheap, no when it tries to gain attention from one of the most refined hardware in the market like the iPad, and that's nintendo intention.
It might be ending the best idea ever and the most successful console ever, but as I said, right now I don't see how the whole concept will appeal people, the people they want to appeal, most of those that I know refers to the Wii U as some cheap knockoff iPad.

Welcome to NeoGAF.
The people that follow the news will always be heavily out numbered by the people that really don't give a shit and are just here to stir the pot.
It's not practical. It's this or scrap the idea and go back to motion controls.
The games will sell the platform, not the hardware.

listen to the mad man
On the other hand, the people following the news are investing hundreds of hours into mostly wild rumours and unfounded speculation... kind of like people who are experts on UFOs or lizardmen.

That seems quite impractical to pull off tbh. I don't think it'll ever work (how do you differentiate which input is for which unit for example?)

Evilore is really a lizardman. He is also really the British Queen.

I mean, it didn't make sense any other way.
Why else would the colors be Grey and Orange?!

It's just Reggie and Geoff talking about nothing for like an hour.

I recently made my first ever thread but then gave up because it was mired in petty bullshit.

Not really expecting to see anything new tomorrow, but I am curious about that city that was the tech demo for the Wii U.

It was basically just a 360 video recording of down town Tokyo that you could pan around in with the Wii U controller.

yeah, i recall feeling about the same - menu stuff wasn't ideal.
that's great bro but when's the reggie interveew
But barely moving the controller would activate motion controls and mess everything up.
Who says they wouldn't change it for E3? Didn't they state they're using the same E3 models for CES.
Granted, it'll appear very similar at E3, but there could be some significant changes (like putting the sync button in the damn flap).
Not for me, when the hand cursor appear I moved the analog stick and it reverted to that mode, and I couldn't go back to cursor mode unless I waggled it around a couple of times.
I guess I just see the trade off as worth it then.

And probably playing Mario Kart 7. They usually face off in some Nintendo developed multiplayer title during these interviews.
