Sony Would Like Developers to Consider PlayStation Move and 3D Support

Sony has been on the forefront of cutting edge with the PlayStation 3, creating a device that, unlike previous PlayStation units and other consoles on the market, can be expanded upon and offer new features that even those who bought the PlayStation during its launch can enjoy. Over the last 9 months, the PlayStation 3 has been updated via software to allow for 3D games and movies. Shortly after that, Sony also released the PlayStation Move, which continues to be the most advanced and precise motion sensor gaming attachment on the market. In order to show consumers and other developers the capability of these new technologies, Sony has taken it upon itself to offer these advacements in some of the hottest games of 2010 and 2011. Titles such as Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, MotorStorm Apocalypse and the upcoming Uncharted 3, Socom 4 and Infamous 2, will all support native 3D. Current titles on the market such as LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 and again the upcoming Socom 4 and soon to be released Move Heroes game, featuring some of PlayStation most well known characters, like Jak & Dexter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly, will support PlayStation Move on top of native 3D.

Now, Sony wants developers outside of the Sony family to leverage these PlayStation 3 features and incorporate them into their games to offer a more unique and rich environment for the players.

“Whenever we come out with new technology, whether it’s Move or 3D, there is always the request that goes out to the [development] teams that says, ‘Hey it would be great if you could implement it.’ We know that adds to the layer of not only the marketing message we have access to but it also adds to the availability of different Sony channels that we can broadcast our message out to,”

Sony has gone on record and states that in no way or shape is it requiring developers to offer these. Instead, it wants them to look at games like Killzone 3 which has been said to be one of the best looking games ever created on the PlayStation 3 which also offers the most native and natural Move experience while still implementing 3D. The point here is that developers can add these features to their game without worrying about tapping out the PlayStation 3 or the need to sacrifice quality.

Playstation Move Game, The Fight: Lights Out Trailer Shows Why The Move is Different and More Immersive

Besides having some celebrity power behind it and getting the grit and hopefully attention of the male audience, Playstations trailer of The Fight: Lights Out shows another thing, the diversity of the Move. You can see those who are playing the game can take lots of different moves and use them in the game. Not just waving their arms around like the Nintendo Wii. You actually have full X,Y and Z axes, aka depth and those will make a big difference to what your character does, but more importantly how immersed you are in the experience. This will also showcase the different level of players out there and how much of the controller and moves they have mastered. Think of it like a Tekken game. There are those who just button smash and on the Nintendo Wii, everybody just button smashes because the hardware cannot tell the difference and track all the different movements. On the Playstation Move, because of the accuracy, there might be those who only learn uppercuts and jabs, while others who really learn the game in and out and can execute different combos. Now apply this same thought process to other Move games and you can see what sets the Playstation Move apart from the Nintendo Wii.
