Forums - Gaming - 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?

And in the right forum this time

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

I won't buy it



I forgot what headtracking is exactly, but it sounds really cool.

It's tech that allows the game to see what angle you are looking at the game from, and track the changes as you move your head around. Since racing games can be played in first person, I assume the headtracking would be for controlling where your driver looks.

Oh yeah, that's it. That's an awesome tech. In combo with 3-D it should be incredible.

As a long-time motorcyclist, I completely suck at motorcycle games. I've desperately tried to get into the Moto GP series but I just can't do it. Everything feels too fake.
