So after the debut of the new PlayStation move motion controller at the GDC in San Fran, I decided to sit down and meditate on what I think of it. I watched vids and read articles featuring various impressions of it, all of which seemed to say absolutely nothing interesting or useful to me personally.
I am a fan of Zipper Interactive which will be featuring it in their new Socom title but that didn't really excite me whatsoever. Basically what I've decided is that I like the potential of it. At this point all of the wii sportsesque games have abosulutely no appeal to me, and even the whole FPS idea of using it doesn't really excite me because I have no problem with using a Dualshock for those type of games. What does make it appealing however, is its super responsive interface when coupled with the PS eye that allows nearly any movement to be recognized and replicated on screen.
Basically to me, this could revolutionize games that involve anything from swords and lightsabers to keyblades, because lets face it, what's better, pressing a button to dessimate a hearltess, or a perfectly replicated swing from your controller. The Wii pioneered that concept, but their controller fails. Just shaking it to slash a sword is cool for like 5 seconds, then you realize that its not so different from just pressing a button.
So at this point there isn't any titles that make me want to go out and buy this thing when it launches, but I have high expectations for the hardware and for the software it may lead to. I want perfectly mimicked keyblade movements in HD... that's all I've ever wanted...
