Motion Controller named?

I think it is a good strategy. Tbh tehre is more casuals out there then the hardcore gamers. For example – my wife hate PS3. The only resone that I have one at home is becuase I was saving for it for a loooooonnnnggggg time :D. I got Diner Dash from PSN recently. Try to ask for a game pad when seh plays :P.

If anyone is unfamiliar with Diner Dash here a quic link:

BTW if anyone wants to play online just add me :D.

What would be nice is if they could integrate it as an optional accessory to use during certain times in games.  For example, if playing God of War 3 if there is a scene where you have to defend yourself from incoming enemies with the bow and arrow, having the option to use normal targeting, or switch to the wand for the full motion experience would be really cool.  I really liked that part of the wand demo by the way, that was just badass.  Anyway, it would allow people to play the game normal, especially if they don't own the accessory, and would allow those who own it to make use of it in a fun way.  The only problem is that if it were only used in certain scenes as I said, it might be kinda a pain to pause the game, put down the controller, turn on the wand, and unpause again… but in my eyes, its a small sacrifice.

gem? that's cute. couldn't have picked a better name….seriuosly that's a lame name

but i can't wait for the controller personally. i thought every bit of the demo was cool. and having gow3 with that…idk what i would do i'd be so excited lol.

I always thought calling it the wand sounded OK.

Wasn't it going to be called Sphere at some point too?

Don't suppose we've got any idea on the pricing yet have we?

Arc = lame.

switching a C in any word to a K makes it way more awesome..  ALWAYS.

A Really Kickass-controller or something along those lines?

Hells Yea!! lol that works pretty good…

The possibilities are endless!! MWAHAHA!!

i still prefer wizard sticks or wizard wands

An arc refers generally to one of two things: a curved shape or line, or in electricity a luminous bridge formed in a gap between two electrodes… which both seem appropriate here.  With the first, its the shape you would form while swinging the controller around.  With the second, you can take several meaning out of it, but to me, its luminous (the light ball part), and it bridges the gap between player and game world, by giving us more control and immersing the player in the game.  Or I mean, maybe there's an electrical arc internally (I sorta doubt that, sounds like a fire hazard waiting to happen).  Seems much better than “gem”.
