Springer du i dag en tur forbi GamePro, kan du bl.a. finde et interview med Sonys marketingchef, John Koller, hvor han giver udtryk for en ganske stor optimisme, når det gælder firmaets kommende nye motion controller. Nu er det Microsofts Natal som indtil videre har taget de største overskrifter, men Koller mener at der vil være enkelte spilgenrer, hvor deres system virkelig kommer til sin ret. Han nævner bl.a. actionspil (shooters) og sportsspillene. Sonys controller har endnu ikke fået et officielt navn, selvom vi også blev snydt af Electronic Arts udtalelser for lige godt en uge siden.

Koller: It’s a pretty seamless toolset that’s going to accent gameplay substantially. In terms of the best types of games, I’d say that right now we’re looking a real wide variety of genres that can utilize the technology. I think the areas that are going to be really critical to our success will be family games, as well as shooters and sports games. Those are going to be the areas that will really define success, because they’re areas that quite honestly, I think Project Natal and the Wii are going to have trouble matching, from a differentiation standpoint. We look at motion control as being that much more than what exists on the market. The Holy Grail of gaming is placing you as a consumer into the game physically. When we provide further details, people will see exactly where we’re going, not only from a technological standpoint on the hardware, but also where the gameplay is transitioning. It’s going to be a really exciting launch.

  1. #1 Det er da altid noget at du selv erkender dit eget værd.

    Det bliver spændende at se om det er mere end end en Wiimote med et festligt lys i toppen. Hvor mange nye funktioner kan man putte ind i en pind?
