Sony: HVB is not our answer to Wii Bowling

The official Playstation site for the US has recently started its own blog with Sony developers and staff blogging about all things Playstation. Not too long ago, Sony had revealed a new game called “High Velocity Bowling” that would utilize the Sixaxis controller’s motion-sensing capabilities. Since it was revealed, many gamers began to speak about how the game was Sony’s answer to Wii Bowling. The Senior Producer of HVB had the following to say in the latest Playstation blog post:

“It’s a pretty common misconception that High Velocity Bowling is Sony’s “answer” to Wii Sports Bowling. We came up with the idea of using the SIXAXIS controller for bowling on August 23rd, 2006…While we weren’t surprised by the inclusion of bowling in Wii Sports a month later, we knew that we were taking it a step further once that game launched.”

Whats that? My fanboy radar is going off!!

Well as long as gamers are smart and notice the similarities between Wii Sports: Bowling and This "High Velocity Bowling" they probably won't buy HVB as long as they have access to Wii Sports Bowling one way or another whether it be they have it, their brother has it, their friend has it, etc.

Another attempt of Sony to copy Nintendo...
Anyway, like Shade said, if anyway knows someone who has Wii Sports, why bother buying HVB?

i don't care if they have a date, i'm just tired of Sony putting out something that Nintendo did before. And NO, i'm not talking about buttons or analog sticks, those arguements are stupid. But the games and controllers and whatnot. It's getting old.
And yeah, call me a fanboy.

Haha that is classic, they even specified a date to which they "came up
" with the idea. Call me fanboyish if you want but who would wanna bowl with the PS3 controller? Swinging the PS3 Controller will make you look much stupider than with the Wii Remote.... I take it you use the Analogue stick or something! Still that's funny!

I wouldn't even play bowling on my ps3. o.o;

But if they thought of the idea on Aug 26th, nintendo didn't announce what would be in wii sports until a bit after that if I'm not mistaken.
