hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with the video on the latest controllers for Sony Microsoft and Nintendo now of course in 2006 when the Wii was launched it came with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk then really revolutionized the whole controllers you know motion controls that was that was a big deal well today we have two new contenders we have the Microsoft Xbox Natal which really looks really promising as well as yesterday Sony announced a PlayStation Move which is similar to the Wii in the Wii Remote but it also adds some elements from the mid slalom so stay tuned I'm going to sort the whole thing out and get you guys informed on what's what so anyway let's get this one started okay so let's begin with the PlayStation Move which is the latest controller that has come out and it actually just came out yesterday so sum it up it's basically very similar to a Wii Remote and that it has two things you have the main Move controller and then you also have a secondary order they call it a sub controller and using these in conjunction with each other will allow you to you know they both have motion sensors and all the kinds of stuff very similar to like the Wii so you know you can do like this and everything but there's it's a lot more advanced now if you look at the main Move controller it has a ball on the top and what this ball is is that it has some LEDs inside it which can make it change any color now the way the Move controller works is that it is in addition to a camera that is put on top of your TV or somewhere where you can straight in front of you wherever that you're playing so the camera picks up not only your body movement but it washes that ball on the end of the controller so as you move it not only is it tracking you with these sensors inside the controller is also the camera is following your but your body movements as well as the LED on the top of the controller so that it has kind of a fail-safe where no matter what you're doing it has two points of data to pull in so it's going to be really accurate plus one really cool thing is that the PlayStation controller it lights in different colors as well so let's say I'm playing it right now okay well obviously I'm wearing a register I've got a white background okay well what is wanting to do is going to change into a color that it is not inside the camera so right now there's no green around me for example so it's going to turn green likewise it can turn pink orange it can turn into almost any color it's pretty really just very very cool in addition it sounds like a lot of games will be able to change the color as you move and stuff so from inside the game let's say you know you know your sword fighting or something well it my turn flash red when you you know hit hit or something the possibilities are really really impressive so that's the PlayStation Move controller it is scheduled to be on sale by the end of the year likely by the holiday season and pricing hasn't been announced yet for most of it but I plan on bundling it with the ps3 they plan on selling the controller separately and that but they do say that for $99 they will sell you the camera and both the main Move controller and the sub controller so $400 a little bit expensive but for what you're getting it very well could be really solid okay so the next controller has got to be the Xbox 360 for the Natal now the Natal is a totally different way than both the Wii and move now the way than the toe works is that there's no control whatsoever you don't hold anything nothing everything is done via a camera and I like on the PlayStation I suppose you just mount it on your TV whatever whatever you're going to be pointing at for the game and the way this works is that the Xbox entirely is very very very clever software that allows you to it recognizes your hands basically it makes a wireframe animation of your body inside the Xbox so it can tell when you do just about everything now this is a really cool idea I think because you know they've even showed demos of like you know you can take your own objects so let's say I'm playing a skateboard game well I can take my own skateboard my real skateboard pick it up put it in front of camera it will scan it then it will start following that so I could be moving the skateboard though standing on it though I mean the possibilities really are endless now that's all we don't know a ton about it we've seen a lot of demos and the really cool thing about this is it really is I mean like I said is limitless I mean the way they can actually scan objects let's say I want to play like a first-person shooter so all I'm gonna do is let's say I have like a BB gun or you know some maybe might even the game might come bundled with the own fake gun so I can actually it would stand the gun and it starts following it so I can actually start you know doing like this just like maybe like Annunaki game only this is going to be a lot more precise because I'm actually can you know walk forward or lean or however it's going to work and again there's a lot of you know really interesting and cool ways they can do it one of the demos was like like balls were like flying towards you so you get go like that and I catch them it is really really cool whereas you know the Wii and most likely the PlayStation they're gonna be kind of cool because you'll be holding controllers you know like that and you can follow you but then at all I think is going to be a lot different just because you're actually physically you know doing everything it's not you're pressing buttons you're actually you know hit like like make virtual buttons you know and your imagination go get that hit that I mean there's really a ton of really cool stuff that can happen within that's all now as with a Playstation we don't know exactly when it will be released although it should be probably like I said holiday season of this year no word on pricing yet although they did say that it will be it will work with all existing Xbox 360s as well as they will likely sell it either in a bundle with a normal Xbox 360 they might rework the Xbox have it installed inside it we don't know yeah but in any case Natal is really really promising and we haven't played it yet but it really does look good okay so the last is obviously going to be the Wii Remote in the nunchuck now obviously this came out in 2006 with the launch of the weed so we're pretty familiar with this but I'll go ahead and run you guys to it anyway and show you how it compares so first you have just the standard Wii Remote this is pretty cool it does use two double-a batteries where as the playstation is going to have her chargeable but it has a lot of buttons no but it fits your hand really nicely it has a sensor on the front as well as a port right here where you can plug in the nunchuck and you can also plug in a special accessory called the Motion Plus which is slots right in and it gives a third element of dimension to the motion sensing so this by itself is actually not that accurate it's pretty decent for you know bowling or something but without you know the motion plus you know you have trouble you know actually doing one to one pickup so with the motion plus it really does enhance it a lot and it is very very similar to the PlayStation Move especially with the sub controller because they're very similar in the fact that but they both have you know on this on this sub controller or the nunchuck you know they have a an analog stick and buttons or anything and they also both have they both have wrist straps which of course no one uses unless they're UTV or something ok guys so that's pretty much it you know I'm pretty excited about all three of these you know the Wii it might not be the most high-tech but it's still fun and you know it's hard to argue with you know having almost 4 years of games and everything I mean that's a huge head start the Natal it's amazing really I mean I love the idea as long as it works right no not using any controllers at all or using items around your house as a controller the PlayStation really is in the middle I think it uses the camera and some of the motion sensing and everything of the Natal but it also uses a controller set very similar to the Wii so it's kind of like mix between the two and little to be honest I don't think that you go wrong with any of the three but we have a lot of fun that's all if it works right you're going to be amazing and the PlayStation has a pretty cool niche I'm not sure how successful it's going to be but it does look like it's got a lot of problem ok guys so what do you think are you really interested in the tall or maybe are you going to be all set up to start using the PlayStation Move early just all okay with your Wii Remote we should believe in the comments also be sure to subscribe to the channel where I will always be keep you up to date with tech news
