Sony removes boomerang functionality from PS3.
It was a sad day for innovation at the Sony zone of E3 when they announced the boomerang functionality (and all the promising boomerang gameplay which would have come with it) would not be in the final Playstation 3. The controller will no longer return to you when you throw it. At least not without some sort of trampoline peripheral. Or maybe you could pull it back if you tied it to a string. BUT IT ISN’T THE SAME.
Continuing on their path away from the future, and as a blatant ripoff of Nintendo, they shamelessly copied the non-vibration feature of the Wavebird controller. This is not the next-generation. This is a travesty. Truly, the human race has been set back a few years by this event.
Thankfully, Nintendo is finally picking up some of the innovation slack, as demonstrated by the fact that we will soon be able to use their new console play twenty-one year old games on our television sets!
kthxbye.
