Forums - Sony - MotoGP 10/11 ready for headtracking and 3D

http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=233590

Emerging tech is "long overdue" says excited lead designer

Head tracking and, for the PS3 version at least, stereoscopic 3D features are both being lined up for MotoGP 10/11 (the sequel of MGP 09/10, which Capcom will release on March 31).

Lead designer Greg Bryant told CVG: "We haven't looked into Natal yet for MotoGP 09/10, but we're definitely going to be looking into it for MGP 10/11 because I personally think the future for that application is through head tracking in racing games."

"We did a lot of testing with other games for competitor analysis and one that came up was the classic Grand Prix Legends. You can set that up with full head tracking and a steering wheel, and it's one of the most compelling racing experiences. Now that that developers have that technology available to them we certainly want to harness that for the next iteration of the game," he told CVG. 

The PS3 is in for extra treats, too. "One of the other things that I'm really excited about it that the PS3 going to support 3D technology as well. So when you combine that with the PS Eye and theoretically doing the head tracking through that. I think that's going to be absolutely awesome."

Awesome indeed, hopefully it will be done well enough to be noticed amongst its fans. Isn't this the first 3rd party saying they will make a 3D game for the PS3?

that reads like headtracking for 360 only and 3d for PS3 only.

Seems like the PS3 version will have both to me:

Yeah i read that too, the theoretical part kills it. 

The ps eye isnt capable of that.....  having played eyepet with my daughter quite a bit... it is quite clear to me that the eyetoy is in no way accurate enough for that kind of head tracking... or if it is it would be very hit and miss.

Based on my own experience, I'd be inclined to agree. But I think we should wait and see how it's done in GT5. If it works there, then there is certainly potential to make it work in MotoGP as well.



Holy crap, I just realized I put this in the Sony forum! Fuck!

I was gonna put it in the Gaming forum! >_



lulz I was wondering what this was doing here :D



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

They ruined the MotoGP franchise a long time ago anyway......
The new game is a joke.
