Sony recently revealed details at E3 on it’s highly rumored plans to add motion control technology to the arsenal of features available on the PS3. The controller, which looks somewhat like a wand, clearly got it’s inspiration from the Wii, though it sports a color changing light at the tip. Think of it as a cross between Microsoft’s Project Natal and Wii’s Motion Plus. Sony claims that it will far surpass the technology of the Wii, with more precision and better conjunction with the games that support it.
As for how it will fare against Microsoft’s Project Natal, Sony states that they too will have face gesture recognition, spatial awareness, and many of the other features Microsoft is boasting to have. Sony stands firm in saying that how you incorporate all the features into the game is what matters. And again, they boast about military like software precision.
Sony’s motion controller is expected to be released sometime in the spring 2010 with no idea on the pricing, we can only hope that it is done well, and that all this motion control and spatial recognition competition doesn’t force us out of our comfortable controller gaming lives that we have come to love as veteran gamers.
I miss the days of lazy gaming.
