PlayStation Move shooting attachment in pictures: the ray gun you always dreamed of

We heard a mention of the PlayStation Move shooting attachment in Sony's Move E3 press release, but now that we've seen photos of the thing we think we're in love. The trigger of the attachment locks in with the analog "T" trigger button of the slotted-in Move controller for some sweet, shoot-tastic shooting, while the face buttons of the controller remain accessible thanks to a window cutout up top. But while we're sure it works great and all that silly nonsense, we're just totally enamored with the looks: it's like a 1950's ray gun, and with a light-up ball on the end and the future of motion gaming at your fingertips, perhaps that's not so far from the truth. The ray gun part. The 50's were actually a pretty bad year for motion controlled console gaming.

doesn't look to gun-ish ... looks more of a Wii remote to me

[geekthree Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:53AM]

@DeviantmacG I can't wait untill women start shooting this...

Out of there..

You know..

Cos' it looks like a ping pong ball on the end..

@DeviantmacG Set Phasers on stun, stunningly crap.

Give me a massive chain gun that I can hang off my shoulder!!

"ARRRRGH YOU MUTHER F&*@ER!!!"

[HoldenMccrotch Posted Jun 16th 2010 5:54AM]

@DeviantmacG
ermm...
no it doesnt, the wiimote is a horrific white block
the attachments for the wiimotes are also useless bits of plastic they charge as much as the actual remote for

overall i quite like this, looks nice

Carter: "Do you like to play with Playstations stick?"
Kyle: "Yes, I very much do like to play with Playstations stick"
Carter: "What are you kyle.. A gay PS3 owner?"
Kyle: "HAHAHA ur so totally cool and not fat at all!"

[KennyB123 Posted Jun 16th 2010 6:04AM]

@uckApple Do you actually watch South Park? Who is Carter? *fail*

You killed Keenan! You Mongrel!

[Ducman69 Posted Jun 16th 2010 7:27AM]

@Mark S Screw you guys, I'm going to my house.

@geekthree PEW PEW PEW

[snowbound Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:01AM]

@Billy
I clicked through to the comments just to see all the 'pew-pew' entries.

pew-pew... pew-pew-pew

[TinWard Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:22AM]

@geekthree Nintendo should make a game like that. Just have virtual targets like cups and things and they have to fire it onto the targets. That would be one hell of a party game, even families can get involved. I think Gran would win though.

I don't get why the ball has to be so big. Surely sensors are able to pick up small LED lights. I really don't like the idea of having to charge every device type either and having one per activity. The wii-mote idea is better and Kinect/Natal is the best idea.

[MojoYugen Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:47AM]

If people don't love this they are a little dead inside.

[elijahblake Posted Jun 16th 2010 9:12AM]

@MojoYugen

atleast with Move you can have a gun instead of having to use your finger to shoot stuff let's see how accurate that's going to be... Am i the only one that never heard Microsoft mention 1:1 tracking?

[Kid Red Posted Jun 16th 2010 9:21AM]

@mrpixel The ray gun I've always dreamed of? Not quite. Maybe if I liked Hello Kitty and Care Bears this would be my dream ray gun. This is just too dorky and too My Little Pony. I'll pass on this disco-globe-lollipop-erotic-toy-crap.

[MrGoodCat Posted Jun 16th 2010 9:47AM]

@DeviantmacG

with this blow dryer attachment women can play women type games now! next up is a mop and cooking pan attachment....

(too soon?)

[ThreeDee912 Posted Jun 16th 2010 10:52AM]

@DeviantmacG

Interstella 5555, anyone?

[infamous1 Posted Jun 16th 2010 11:12AM]

@KennyB123

*dead*

[shadowj0 Posted Jun 16th 2010 11:14AM]

@Mark S

South Park in Canada - they needed to edit names because they were too American.

Kyle is a Muslim in South Park Canada version.

LOL

[Nintendo Tim Posted Jun 16th 2010 11:57AM]

Sony really sucks at naming things lately, don't they?

[engadgetcomexcludeengadget Posted Jun 16th 2010 12:07PM]

So do these controllers have multiple colored LEDs in each, or do you have to buy each one in a different color?

[Nintendo Tim Posted Jun 16th 2010 12:27PM]

If you're talking about the ball at the end, the color is automatically changing, based on your surroundings. The color will vary depending on your background environment, and the PlayStation Eye will speak to the Controller and tell it what color to emit so it can better track the controller in a 3D space.

@DeviantmacG
Glowing dildo controller. Now in gun shape.

[fowenati Posted Jun 16th 2010 1:08PM]

@geekthree OH YEAHHHH That's exactly wat i thought!

[Christopher02 Posted Jun 16th 2010 2:11PM]

@ThreeDee912
Great film

[barac Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:44AM]

That is badass!

[tai376 Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:53AM]

@barac With muzzle flash!

[geekthree Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:53AM]

@barac No. This is ass bad.

[Ephemeral Posted Jun 16th 2010 5:06AM]

@barac

It doesn't look that bad. Making it slot in with the buttons on the side would have made more sense though. That way you can grapple the trigger in one hand and hold the barrel with access to the buttons in the other.

[Frankenstein Black Posted Jun 16th 2010 9:54AM]

@barac - if it was made of metal I would be able to say "Brothers on my jock for the way I hold a piece of steel, so what you sayin"...

[SlimSpaceman Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:44AM]

Why that must be the cutest looking gun I have ever seen!

[snowbound Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:00AM]

@SlimSpaceman

That's a gun? I thought it was some sort of beer pong accessory.

[ElCapitan Posted Jun 16th 2010 11:28AM]

@SlimSpaceman

Nay, this is the cutest gun you've ever seen.

@snowbound
I thought it was a sex toy.

[Noswal Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:44AM]

and I thought the wiimote gun looked funny...

[blitzfire911 Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:44AM]

want!!!

[Pryomancer Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:45AM]

Nothing like a gun with a light bulb on the end to strike fear into the hearts of zombies and nazis.

[NHAnimator Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:14AM]

@Pryomancer

Yeah. Not too intimidating. Now vampires...

[HikaKao Posted Jun 16th 2010 10:39AM]

@Pryomancer The enemies in SOCOM 4 will be struck with fear. Well, you can't blame them. Who wouldn't be afraid of something as badass as this?

[Gobes Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:45AM]

Pow Pow!

[Ducman69 Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:47AM]

@Gobes its pew pew

[wickywills Posted Jun 16th 2010 5:26AM]

@Ducman69

more like Ping Pong

[Ducman69 Posted Jun 16th 2010 5:33AM]

@wickywills made my day xD

[arkweld Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:45AM]

@Gobes

Boing Boing!

[Gobes Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:45AM]

Pow Pow!

[NHAnimator Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:16AM]

@Gobes

Post Post!

[Haha Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:49AM]

It would be good it it gave recoil...

[Eric77lv Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:49AM]

I CAN FINALLY TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH MY RAY GUN! MUAHAHAHA! Oh...it's just a PS Move gun...

[jubjub Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:50AM]

I thought we learnt from all the useless Wiimote attachments.

[kiyu727 Posted Jun 16th 2010 8:07AM]

@jubjub
well it depends, if you want me to play the new Socom with Move I would prefer such attachments and u can use it for other games as well unlike the Wii controller sports attachment pack.
Just imagine the old arcades where you can only hide, reload and shoot,
Damn I payed a lot into these machines on the ferry to britain ....

[Patricio Arnechino Posted Jun 16th 2010 4:50AM]

Am I the only one that's expecting a little flag popping out that says: "bang!"? xD
