Ground breaking as it was, the Wii-mote for the Nintendo Wii, is less suitable for the fast, complex movements that gamer’s crave, as it is for more general, slower and bolder movements.  Ideal for party games, basic driving games and a whole suite of novelty games, when it comes to real gamers’ expectations it is often found wanting.

Issues cited with the Nintendo Wii’s remote include lagged movement, confusion on screen after quick or complex motion and a slightly disappointing ability to be able to perform realistic movements and them be to be accurately portrayed within the game.  On far too many occasions Nintendo Wii games have had movement or action controlled by wielding the wii-mote, but could quite as easily have been performed with as much finesse and accuracy as pressing a button.

Let’s take a quick look at using swords in a couple of video games. Red Steel, an early wii game had disappointing pre-set sword movements that were hard to replicate and even harder to enjoy.  Zelda, one of the Wii’s biggest titles so far had very limited sword capabilities, being confined to a simple slash which would have been achieved equally well by mashing a button on a standard control pad.  The dreams of wielding a Light Sabre and joining the Jedi have sadly not been possible with the current Nintendo Wii remote technology.

But this is set to change with the release of the MotionPlus for the wii-mote, which will allow the Wii to more accurately understand and capture complicated movement, and replicate it on the screen and in the game.  Working together with the existing accelerometer and the sensor bar, motion will be displayed almost in real time within the game which will hopefully give rise to plethora of new opportunities and games for the Wii, which has had too big a focus on the novelty, family market to appeal to gamer’s in the long term.

Developers and industry experts seem divided between exactly how good this new feature will be.  While some reports indicate it is simply too sensitive to work with, others are reporting that it will bring the wii on leaps and bounds.

The new device will allow for the support of additional add-ons such as the Nunchuch or classic controlled via an expansion port at the bottom which will allow the add on to connect with and communication with the remote directly.  Bundled in with the new MotionPlus is expected to be a new protective grip/jacket that will support the extra 4cm of length.

The technology behind the MotionPlus works on a “tuning fork angular rate sensor” which can work out and process rotational motion.  This information is then used to determine linear motion from the accelerometer and therefore the processing of more complex  movement.  This can then be translated onto the screen and into the game to give the gamer a much more satisfying gaming experience.

The latest PSP 3000 is a gadget lover’s dream. From remote connectivity
with the PS3 console to web browsing to multimedia playback, there is
nothing that the svelte handheld game system can’t do. It seems that the
only thing that the latest revision lacks is the ability to play homebrew
programs, emulators and applications. That is because Sony implemented
some very strong hardware encryption on the latest model that locks out
hackers and makes it almost impossible to run unsigned applications on the
device.

The homebrew gaming community got a boost this month, however, when
British accessory maker Datel announced that it has finally cracked the
PSP 3000. The company’s new Lite Blue Tool service battery promises to unlock the full potential of the PSP an allow users to downgrade and install custom firmware. Custom firmware is needed to run unofficial homebrew applications such as the Super Nintendo and Genesis emulators.

Right now the device is still being tested, but the company promises that
a consumer version will be ready sometime later in January 2009. After
that point, you should be able to buy the Datel battery from your favorite online or offline electronics retailer.

Created by Xs Games and distributed by Midway Popstar guitar is fun
for all the family and easy for the younger generation to use unlike
some of the band simulation games that are out today on the shelves.
Popstar Guitar not having a big guitar to have to hold which is some
times difficult for kids to do and to play the corresponding buttons,
the brains behind Popstar Guitar have cleverly invented the AirG which
is a simple cover that clips over your Wii remote to act as the neck
of a guitar hero style guitar and the thumb stick to strum the strings
in time with the music which is fun and lot more free moving and easy
to use in both the single player and multiplayer mini games that are
available.

Shinyshiny.tv wrote on may the 30th that Philips announced the release of SHE9850. The design is what cought my eyes. They look great from what I can tell from the pictures, however most headphones don’t look so good when you put them on. I remember having alot of problems when shopping for headphones a year ago. After seeing som pictures of SHE9850 I’m starting to consider picking up a pair myself once they hit the stores sometime in June. Apparentely they’re designed with Philips Acoustic Angle design “which gives them extra shielding from vibration to produce accurate sound transmission with a smooth bass response” according to Shinyshiny.

Apparentely one of Gizmodos readers sent in some photos of his newly bought Psystar machine (the none Apple computer that runs OSX Leopard). It’s also reveiled that it’s true that a proud owner of Psystar won’t be able to reinstall the OS since the package only came with a retail version.

First of all, sorry for the absence of my blogging but now It’s time to start over again. First on the agenda is Samsung saying that their TVs and monitors will be using OLED technology from next year and as soon as 2010 there will be flexible displays. Samsung plans to manufacture 3 million panels in 2009 and double that in 2010. These might be small numbers compared to LCD production but nevertheless it’s a step in the right direction. I just love Sonys small, overly expensive OLED dislpays. I would never in a million years buy one, but the image quality of these first generation production OLED displays is a sure way of pointing out where the future is headed.
