SONY'S NEW MOTION CONTROLLER

Sony’s new Move controller is all the talk here at GDC 2010. Some are skeptical and others are quite excited. Sony is definitely chasing Nintendo with the Move’s imagery featuring the families having fun in nice living rooms. But what about the games themselves? Well, we took them all for a ride to see how they felt. While a lot of people have been making the joke “Wii HD”, there is more to the Move’s abilities. Read on for our impression of the games they showed at the event. Also, don’t miss our breakout on the Move version of SOCOM 4 and the interesting info we were able to unearthThe Shoot
One of the better demonstrations of the Move’s tracking ability came in the form of a simple rails shooter aptly titled The Shoot. The gameplay is fairly simple: shoot the bad guys. Set on a campy Hollywood style set, players are pitted against robots with destructible armor. One shot is only enough to tear that armor off. The more robots you kill in a row without missing, the higher your multiplier goes. There are also special moves which use motion gestures to perform attacks that help repel the oncoming robot attacks. The real star of The Shoot is how well the game controls. The tracking is very smooth without being overly sensitive. The developer seems to have nailed a balance that a majority of the Wii games only with they had.
