Guerrilla principal programmer touts Move, but compliments Nintendo.

This is an outrage! There are too many fair and reasonable statements by people in gaming these days! I demand more trash talking and flame war fuel!

Okay, sarcasm aside, this is what the guy said.

Killzone 3 dev: Most FPS games will be played with motion control in a few years

In the next few years you won't be playing FPS games with an analogue controller, but with a point-based motion controller such as PlayStation Move.

That's the opinion of Tommy de Roos, principal programmer at Guerrilla Games, who headed development for Move with Killzone 3.

When we asked him how he felt the hardcore FPS audience was perceiving Move, he suggested that we're in a time of transition:

"I think they're opening up to it," he said. "At the beginning there was a lot of reluctance but I know that a few of them picked it up, they tried it and they were actually quite surprised at how well it worked and the extra dimension it gives you.

"You lose some of the accuracy when rotating, that becomes more difficult," he conceded.

"But you make up for that by being able to point anywhere on the screen and send your bullets flying there. So it's a trade-off and a lot of hardcore gamers are seeing that and actually some of them are starting to prefer playing with the Move."

De Roos then suggested that within a few years the transition could be complete.

"These are just the initial stages. Nintendo did a lot of research there, we did some research there now and it's slowly progressing.

"I think, as this develops, in a few years most of the first-person-shooters will be played like this. I really think so. Maybe not the Move specifically but a pointing controller like this."

My two cents, those of you who played The Conduit, Wii Call of Duty games, and Goldeneye, know how good pointer controls can be for an FPS, so done well they should be good on the PS3 as well.
