| It's like the Wii, but not! |
By Ryan Winslett
Sony's Playstation Move and Microsoft's Kinect may be a few years late to the motion control party, but that's not stopping either developer from taking their best delayed swing at it.
With the Move's release date just a few weeks away (Sept. 15 in Europe and Sept. 19 in the U.S.), a new tech demo has popped up on the Playstation Blog to highlight Sony's waggle wand and many of its capabilities.
No matter what Sony R&D member Anton Mikhailov does with the controller, the video appears to showcase precise 1:1 movement in activities like swinging swords, throwing fireballs, sculpting in 3D and even building a Minority Report-esque onscreen workstation.
If you caught the Sony E3 press conference, there's not much new to see here. If, however, you're still in the dark as to what the Move can do, this is the place to look.
Now the question remains: How and, more importantly, will developers actually use all this newfangled technology in their upcoming games?
Here's hoping for Mr. Grabby's Tree Climbing Adventures!
