E3 2010: PlayStation Move Takes Pride Of Place At Sony Keynote

Tweet

Sony’s E3 keynote is going on right now, and after spending some time on 3D gaming, they spent a most of the time discussing the PlayStation Move.  Technologically, they cited the Move’s three sensors, and how it tracks the remote in real time, rending the Move controller in real 3D space, offering true 1:1 motion control.

Sony says they’ve got 40 partners signed up, both developers and publishers, signed up to support move at launch. They showed off three titles in depth at the show.

Sorcery - A Harry Potter-type magic game that has you casting spells. You ‘throw’ the spells and the trajectory of the magic spells depends on how you ‘throw’ it.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11- Real 1:1 swings, so some accurate golf swings are required for this style of gameplay. During the live demo, the EA executive swinging ‘missed’ the ball on his first swing. Not sure if that was just a cute demo of the 1:1 technology. This could be a turn-off if you aren’t a golf player.

Heroes On The Move – No actual gameplay was shown. It’ll star PlayStation’s franchise characters like Jax and Daxter, among others, and will use motion controls, but not a lot of details were given.
