Andrew House: Time is right for PS3 motion control

Eurogamer writes: Sony has said that the time is right for the company to introduce motion control technology to the PlayStation 3 platform.

A firm launch date, solid technology and a clear idea of how it will translate to alternative gaming experiences are the three crucial elements that can help the new control method establish itself on the market, said CEO and president of SCEE, Andrew House.

So, it took a whole day for Sony to come up with the whole motion controller scheme integrated into a camera based technology?

Yikes! If you trolls lose your consistency, you'll have no other intellectual merits to fall back on...

If Sony managed to come up with that, build a prototype, have software for a tech demo all in a day, then I am very impressed. Way to go Sony.

And after rumors of Sony unveiling new hardware began floating around parts of the net shortly after GDC 09, MS put together the most original motion control system since eyetoy for the PS2... opps... I mean since man created the wheel.

You guys are f*cking idiots. Sony has been working on the motion controller before the Wii even came out. Why dont you do your homework before you run your mouths?

ChozenWoan5423d ago

Sony really needs to officially name their motion system. Until they do, even though it is the most advanced system for consoles so far, it will still be treated as being underdeveloped as a product. MS nailed the marketing part with Natal, but the tech is lacking in some major functionality. So if Sony could just step it up and name this beautiful baby they have created, it can turn into a system selling beast not seen since the PowerGlove.

I hope they manage to get it together for heavy rain some tweaks and motion control could be very interesting.

Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider pours scorn on EA's AI dreams.

"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".

I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
