Sony has now officially revealed the name for its motion controller coming next fall. The product was introduced at Game Developers Conference just recently so no more talk about Playstation Arc of Gem since now it is time to say hello to the officially named Playstation Move. The product itself will come in three forms: Bundled with PS3, with PlayStation Eye or alone.
“Previous motion devices have used controller simply as pointer of mouse — ours becomes an extension of your body.” says Sony’s Peter Dille about the Move. It will be interesting to see how the controller actually responds to the above, but the video below demonstrates some of the abilities the controller offers. According to Sony, there are 36 studios and publishers developing games already to the new controller.
According to Sony, we can already expect about 20 games some made especially for the controller, some not. These titles include i.e Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, Ape Escape, Echochrome 2 and there is support for older games such as LittleBigPlanet, Flower, Resident Evil 5. As expected, some of the games will include family party games such as Move Party or Sports Champions.
The controller itself looks a bit like Wii’s but the feeling is more Sony-like though I don’t know what to feel about the small globe at the end of the controller. It’s not a bad thing considering they’ll most likely fit your hand like a glove. Anyway, according to the video below, the controllers seem to be working quite well with the games. Now we just have to wait for the actual release…
