PS3 Motion Controls May Swing Back To Prior Games
The introduction of motion control technology, especially at this year’s E3, has no doubt raised intrigue among hardcore and casual gamers alike due to technical demos showcasing new innovations that have raised eyebrows even amongst veteran gamers. In an interview with Jack Tretton, president and CEO of SCEA, he hinted at something that will probably grab every PS3’s attention.
When discussing motion controls in the interview, Tretton explained that gamers could very well see motion control technology implemented in their current collection of PS3 titles:
“Personally, it’s very difficult for me to perceive ‘God of War 3’ being played with the Wii controller,” he says. “It’s a different experience that doesn’t lend itself to certain types of games. I think our controller can be used with every game that’s on the system now — and every game we’re working on.”
When asked if updates to current games could get motion control technology added, Tretton proclaimed that this idea was “absolutely conceivable”. And since the motion controler itself will have an array off tangible buttons, we could very well see first and third-person shooters and other genres fully controllable via this motion controller. Even more exciting is the fact that Sony’s motion controller is far more accurate than the Wii-mote, tracking movements down to the sub-millimeter level. So if you suck at aiming, you’ve got no one to blame but yourself.

I think a lot of games in 2010 will have motion control in them. Especially 1st party exclusives…

I hope this is on the market by the time MAG comes out. That would be sweet chucking grenades and aiming with those, it’d put a whole nother level on that game.

Is that a hint that the motion controller and GoW 3 are going to be released around the same time???…and maybe it will be an option to use the motion controller with GoW 3???? Cuz that would be pretty sweet.

Imagine doing everything like Kratos does – actualy there trying to rip the head off helios with the controller, controlling how much pressure you put on it etc… brutalllll!
And obviously all the chain slinging and lifting doors etc.

Motion Control for Sony is nothing new. I recently found an article in the blog section at Tawkn.com [Sony PlayStation EYE: Missed Opportunities] that shows what was available to PS2 users with the PS EyeToy.
The videos in the article show that what M$ showed at E3 were already available to the PlayStation community. So their “NEW” approach to the gaming controller is not really that new. Here is the link to the article with videos…

This is the technology that will be coming in the Spring of 2010.
