IGN: Sorcery Is Back With A Bang

Sorcery is back and IGN has your first look!

[Majin-vegeta]

Releases spring of 2012 yes can't wait.

[Abash]

I said I wasnt buying a PS Move till Sorcery came out and with how awesome the redesign is I'll definitely be getting the game

[BluEx610]

Yeah this game is what convinced me to get a PS Move. I got the PS Move Tiger Woods 11 bundle w/ Nav for $60, so I'm satisfied with my purchase already.

I was afraid that the devs might make this game too casual friendly. They could've easily released this game as just another shovel ware game and earn that quick cash, But looks like they're putting a good effort into this title. Monsters looks pretty scary, and effects of skill looks great. Hope there's lot of puzzles/enemies where you need to mix up spells in order to progress.

Another PS3 exclusive to add to 2012/2013

[sikbeta]

Finally! can't wait for it, these kind of games the Move needed from day one!

[DasBunker]

i guess we now know why it was delayed so much.. graphics and the main character look way better and less cartoonish.

[pc_masterrace]

:'( don't have a PS Move.

[guitarded77]

I've really been waiting to hear more about this game... I kinda regret purchasing the Move starter bundle, extra wand and navi on day one since Black Friday saw some insane deals on Move, but games like this may make the investment really worth it. I hope the hardware carries over to the PS4 so it's not just a gimmick. If Sorcery is a success, we will definitely see more quality Move titles.

[ABizzel1]

You know what else would be a good move game.

A new Folklore.

[iChii]

A new Folklore would be an awesome game for the Move.

Also a Star Wars game for the Move would be nice.

[Gam3rSinceBiRTH]

Well Kinect does have a Harry Potter game that does something like this so yeeeeeeeah. :/

[Asgaro]

Buying a PS Move for 1 game is quite stupid...

[Boody-Bandit]

That's Sorcery?
That doesn't look anything like what I remember from the game they premiered at E3. That looks incredible. I don't own Move yet, till now. When this game hits I without question will purchase Move. Now this is a game you purchase motion controllers for. Well done!

[darfreeze]

" I was told that the game is only five or six hours in length"

A bit disappointing. But I will still buy a move for this. Shitty trailer though.

[yesmynameissumo]

Love the art direction! Day one. Looks like Move may finally have its killer app.

[GoldenPheasant]

Just because the likes of KZ3 or R3 with a sharpshooter might not be YOUR cup of tea, saying that it FINALLY has a killer app is a bit shallow and short sighted, hence the disagree.

In regards to the actual game. I'm glad to see its coming to light. Looks like to be not my type of game, but it good to see more support.

Now Sony, more third party support on the FPS spectrum...and no fcking around with Infinite. I hope that special peripheral rumour stays just that, a rumour.

[rdgneoz3]

Whil I have KZ3 and R# and played both with the Move. I do have to agree a bit with sumo. Its a game designed for the Move, and only uses the Move. With KZ3 and R3, using Move was an optional controller configuration. You never had to use it if you didn't want to, in order to fully enjoy the games.

[Biggest]

That doesn't mean they weren't awesome Move games. Having options doesn't always diminish the options. The Move has had killer apps since the beginning.

[yesmynameissumo]

I own R3 and KZ3 and play them exclusively with Move. I love Move. My statement of "finally have its killer app" is in regards to the unnecessary separation of Move titles that A) have Move controls patched in or B) can be played with either a DS3 or Move/Nav. This is a Move-only game, correct? If so, it could very well be Move's killer app, as MGS4 in the early life of the PS3 was its killer app.

Damn some of you people on this site are sensitive.

[testerg35]

I agree with yesmyname... with KZ3/R3, Move was nothing more than a glorified lightgun. With Sorcery you have a true Move game.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

Wow that looks awesome!!!!! Day 1 for me!!!!!!

[house]

i was surprised how much they changed it and how much better it looks love it

[leahcim]

at last!!!

[loeb80]

Thanks. +Bubble

[GamerSciz]

I did a comparison video from the E3 2010 demo to the new reveal trailer. Check it out below.

[TheKindRoost]

good news everyone.

[TheTwelve]

Sony has to show why the Move can do things no other competing motion scheme can do. I believe we have ourselves a winner.

[Wintersun616]

Good news. Let's hope other devs take notice and we'll start seeing some more of the top tier PS Move games designed specifically for Move.

[redDevil87]

Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, i thought ths game was dead lol.

[Pintheshadows]

It's looking much better a year and a half later. I like many others I expect have been waiting specifically for this game before we purchase PS Move

[THC CELL]

Day one

[kaveti6616]

It's not going to run away. You don't have to buy it on the first day.

[DragonKnight]

Is your sole purpose here to go against the grain of anything and everything said? Every single time I see you commenting, it's an oppositional comment to what someone has said. Is that really the only reason you comment? THC CELL wants to but it day one, what does it matter to you?

[kaveti6616]

I just don't like reading that statement.

Whenever someone says, "Day one" I imagine a cross-eyed zealot who's been brainwashed into the whole "built-in audience" group. No doubt, if there's one thing a businessman loves most, it's a customer who lines up to buy their product on the very first day without reading a single review.

You, Dragonknight, are directing your attention to the comment I made to THC CELL, and ignoring the other post I made on this thread, which reads, "Looks really great."

And just so you know, in the future, if I see someone else posting a "day one" comment or a "GOTY confirmed" comment, and if upon reading said comment I am in the mood to post an "oppositional" (<-- not a real word, by the way) reply, I will do so. I don't care how you feel about it, as it seems like you're in the mood to defend idiocy and ignorant, loyalist consumerism.

[DragonKnight]

"Whenever someone says, "Day one" I imagine a cross-eyed zealot who's been brainwashed into the whole "built-in audience" group."

Then you have a poor imagination, or lack of basic common sense. People on sites like these aren't brainwashed into buying anything. They say "day one" because they are legitimately excited to own this game as soon as possible. But given your constant confrontational nature, I wouldn't expect you to say any different than the quoted statement.

"No doubt, if there's one thing a businessman loves most, it's a customer who lines up to buy their product on the very first day without reading a single review."

Oh yes, because reviews are so much more important than one's own opinion. Reviews aren't at all opinions based on an obvious bias, they can't ever be bought, and are never wrong. *rolls eyes* Really? Reviews? REALLY? Wow.

"You, Dragonknight, are directing your attention to the comment I made to THC CELL, and ignoring the other post I made on this thread, which reads, "Looks really great."

If your point is to state that you don't deliberately post comments in opposition to everyone's opinion all the time, it's irrelevant. You post statements that are in opposition too many times for anyone to say "oh but there was that one time." You are always against the grain in everything you say, no matter how small it is.

"And just so you know, in the future, if I see someone else posting a "day one" comment or a "GOTY confirmed" comment, and if upon reading said comment I am in the mood to post an "oppositional" (<-- not a real word, by the way) reply, I will do so. I don't care how you feel about it, as it seems like you're in the mood to defend idiocy and ignorant, loyalist consumerism."

Oppositional: A critical position that is in opposition to the values and ideology intended by the creators of a media text, usually the dominant reading of a text.

Just because your stupid browser's American dictionary considers oppositional to not be a word, doesn't mean it's not a word. Look it up. And you seem to constantly be on your rag, which is an unfortunate insult to women everywhere. It isn't idiocy or ignorant, loyalist consumerism to say "day one purchase." It is passion for a pastime and excitement for a product based on clearly displayed media of said product. Go take some Motrin or something and get over yourself.

[jocomat9]

well hes got one thing right. GOTY right here folks.

[Genecalypse]

Holy shit I cant belive it, allt his time I figured it was canceled or put on the back burner, good to see its back. I'll have to buy move now

[jalen247]

I was already sold on the Move from what I already knew of the technology.

But once I saw the E3 2010 live demo for Sorcery, I knew I had to purchase the Move.

I have been waiting on this game since I purchased my Move controllers

Day 1

[gypsygib]

Excellent news!

Move has amazing potential for great core games but it seems Sony just didn't care to exploit it so seeing Scorcery makes me happy. Hopefully the game is a success and Sony makes more Move exclusive core games.

[Acquiescence]

It does look really great, albeit in an old-school sort of way. It strangely reminds me of the first three Spyro The Dragon games a lot, due to the visual aesthetic I guess. I think if the reviews turn out right and this is recognised as a killer-app for motion gaming, then I'll have to eat crow and buy myself the Move.

[DanSolo]

I had the feeling that after the initial reaction the first look of the game had, that the reason it seemed to have gone into hiding was that they were redesigning it and beefing it up a bit.... looks like that was the case as the game looks very different now!

Hopefully it will be a genuinely good quality game and will then go on to be a success and spark some more quality games for Move. I'm still waiting for a decent sword or light-saber game to come out!

I still say though that Sony missed a golden opportunity when they decided not to include analogue sticks on Move.
Just imagine playing a game like Skyrim with 2 Move controllers complete with analogue sticks.... dual wielding, Sword and Shield, spell casting... would all be awesome.... seems like such a shame!

[hesido]

I'm in the same camp. The lack of analogue sticks is making my brain itch. Here's me babbling about it pre-launch:
http://www.ps3blog.net/2010...

[Biggest]

The navi-controller should have close to the same motion ability as the Move. That would make things easier. I agree that Skyrim would be awesome with the Move.

[SnowBlu]

what sorcery is this?

[smashcrashbash]

Sorcery for the win. One more game for me to get excited about. TM, StarHawk, Jak collection, LG, Sly 4 and The Last of Us.Just give me Jak 4, the Title Fight game and Medevil 3 and I am good.

[El_Barto]

It's about time, I know a lot of people who bought a Move just for this game. Hopefully it lives up to the lofty expectations.

Looking forward to it for sure.

[kaveti6616]

Looks really great.

[EVILDEAD360]

Bookmarked

[Ness-Psi]

the reason i bought the move in the first place. cant wait to play this.

[death2smoochie]

Now this is the reason to buy MOVE.
This will be the defining game for MOVE as it looks stellar.

[LettingGo]

Yes! I already enjoy Move. I still play Start The Party, High Velocity Bowling, Tumble, Echochrome II, Resistance 3, Killzone 3, and Beat Sketcher with Move. This new wave of Move games has been refreshing as well. Everybody Dance is, arguably, the best dance game available on ANY platform. Medieval Moves: DQ is incredibly addicting as well. I can't wait for Sorcery! That and Bioshock: Infinite. :)

[IHateYouFanboys]

lol

this is a kids game. half the people in here would be bagging the hell out of it if it was on Kinect, yet its all 'day one!'/'cant wait'/'omg game of the year' because its a Move game instead.

if this is the defining Move game, that speaks volumes for why noone gives a $hit about Move.

[LettingGo]

No. Sesame Street on Kinect is LITERALLY a kids game and it's actually pretty awesome. For the most part, everyone acknowledges that.

umadbro?

[wenaldy]

he mad.

[Dir_en_grey]

I love the redesigned main character since it appeals more towards adults.
Hope there will be more Move games like this coming out in the future.

[Tr10wn]

they are still doing games for move? i thought that was dead already.

[Foliage]

I think you misspelled "Kinect"......

[Tr10wn]

no i said "MOVE" that thing is hardly selling compare to kinect so what are you talking about? not saying kinect is any good but at least is selling.

[LettingGo]

It's catching up with Kinect. It's not going anywhere soon.

[BitbyDeath]

You've been mis-informed. The move has been selling very well. Almost as much as Kinect.

[TBONEJF]

AND THIS IS WHY I'M WAITING TO BUY THE MOVE WHEN Sorcery COMES OUT! SO MUCH THAN HARRY POTTER MORE SPELLS AND MAGIC! CAN'T WAIT!! NO OFFENSE Harry Potter!

[BoNeSaW23]

I disagree, because your CAPS are stupid.

[Dac2u]

I just bought the LBP 2 Move Bundle for $75. I never thought I'd be excited for Sorcery, but they've really improved the game from the last time we saw it. I just wasn't too impressed when they revealed it at E3 a couple years ago, but they've really added to it and improved it.

[jay2]

£40 for 5-6 hrs of game play? NO.

[r21]

weird, i was searching for new sorcery footage yesterday on youtube and then today, bam! new sorcery footage everywhere :O

[FinaLXiii]

Looks good to me! i hope its enabled for Dual Shock 3 controls.

A Folklore 2 with PS Move controls would be a instant buy for me.

[Dac2u]

Agreed, hell, a Folklore repackage with Trophy and move support would be an instant buy for me.

[groogruxx]

with this game maybe now people will finally admit the move is better than the kinect.

[OldGamer]

I've been looking forward to this game since the the day they first announced it. Glad to see not only is it still in development, but it's being improved upon.

Can't wait!

[mendicant]

So it's safe to like ign I presume.

[taylork37]

only when it is convenient...duh

On topic:

This trailer is seriously underwhelming compared to what I saw at E3. It doesn't look that good.

[kungfuian]

I might be alone on this but I actually liked the old whimsical cartoony look much better! It had a nice "Heart of Darkness" like charm to it; that old Saterday morning cartoon vibe thing.

The new art style just looks uninspired/blah to me by comparison. Plus the more mature style does not appear to be matched by the required increase in graphic fidelity, ie the graghics look like an early ps3 game now. Point being I'd rather have a game with simple stylized art than more realistic stuff that is half baked.

That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing what they can do with the move. It will be interesting to see how this game plays relative to what Nintendo just did with skyward sword. At 5-6 hours it might not be a zelda quality epic, but the overall concept of one to one control in an action adventure game makes the comparison relavant.

fingers crossed

[MilkEmHard]

Eh I will wait for star wars for my kinect (:

[floetry101]

It looks like a decent game, but nothing that will persuade me to purchase a Move or any other motion peripheral for that matter. I'll stick to good old, precise, controller gaming.

[smashcrashbash]

@ Tr10wn listen stop with the explanations why you are trolling and just stop posting. No one cares how Move is selling compared to Kinect. No one cares if you think Kinect is actually selling or not. No one cares if you think Kinect is any good or not. We are talking about Sorcery and Move here. Just shut up already.

[clarkdef]

Just got the move, because I wanted all the stickers in the LBP pack. It is actually pretty good in LBP feels tight and enjoyable.

[Moerdigan]

Looks like a Harry Potter game done correctly.

[Nunchez]

Hmm I think I should buy Move soon after looking at this. I did try KZ with Move but I sucked ass at it maybe that's why I didn't like it.

[taijutsu363]

I was literally just waiting for this ONE game so thatd itd give me a reason to buy a Move....and its about damn time! Was supposed to come out last April! Beginning to think itd be a Last Guardian type deal.

[jneul]

wow what a impressive overhaul, loving the new direction i was already going to get it day one, but now its run up to my pre-order now list lol

[Ren_]

I thought this game would never see the light of day when it just seemed to vanish. Glad to hear it will be out in the near future and now I finally have an excuse to buy the Move :)

[BabyTownFrolics]

Rental!
