New next-gen motion controller announced

Microsoft and Sony’s desire to make Xbox 360 and PS3 more family-friendly may have been given a boost with the announcement of a new motion-sensing controller from In2Games.

The company claims that its Gametrak Freedom device is ‘the most advanced’ motion-sensing controller yet.

The name of the first title in development for the tech is Squeeballs, which will be released ‘soon’, according to In2Games.

According to TechRadar, the firm is not yet able to confirm if the game will be developed for Xbox 360 and/or Sony's PlayStation 3, but has confirmed that it is launching for next gen consoles soon.

A teaser site for the technology and Squeeballs has been released today, showing off the new device.

"All we can say is that it is coming out for next generation consoles," an In2Games rep told TechRadar.

"We will be revealing further details on Squeeballs and Gametrak Freedom in due course," the rep added.

The technology developed at In2Games for Gametrak Freedom combines ultrasonic and RF technologies with 3-axis accelerometers.

*yawn*

This In2Games company had been producing shoddy peripherals for years - what, we're supposed to believe that this new one is the best thing since sliced bread?

Give it up - seriously. You can't fool consumers/press any more!!!

I agree even the controller looks "amateur". It's the same thing than nintendo did with Wii but ported into Xbox/PS/Whatever else..., plus a crappy company behind.
