This is so sad. And yes it's old news to some,

August 17th, 2007 BennyB

Sony Wiimote

In2Games to unveil motion-sensing peripherals for PS2 games at the Leipzig Gaming Convention

The first six titles will be available at retail in time for Christmas for £29.99.

The games - which include Realplay Tennis, Realplay Pool, Realplay Golf, Realplay Racing, Realplay Bowling and Realplay Puzzlesphere - are made for use with wireless controllers that emulate tennis rackets, pool cues, golf clubs and steering wheels, amongst others.

The motion-sensing technology used in the peripherals is called Freedom. It is currently still in development, having recently attracted £7.6 million in venture capital funding.

In2Games will be hoping to tap into the huge popularity of existing wireless gaming controllers such as that of Nintendo's Wii.

I know...everything is Sony's fault now...I bet they are to blame for the increase in gas prices.

Wow, I really doubt that's real.

Just the way the product is displayed is a copyright violation pretty much. That wouldn't fly with Nintendo.

Those games are all for PS2, and they don't use something that looks like the picture in the TC's post.

I think people like to attach any bad news they can to Sony these days, even if it's blatantly false or proven wrong.

It already does. Its called a sixaxis, and it will probably be the last time Sony try motion sensing considering how hard it has been to implement.

Yeah, they should have kept the vibrating shock in the controller. What a stupid move.

That could actually be argued.
