Forums - Microsoft - Child Of Eden Supports Four Controllers For Full-Body Feedback

Joystiq

Back at E3 2010 we learned that Tetsuya Mizuguchi's latest creation -- Child of Eden, the spiritual successor to Rez -- can be played using a standard controller, not just the Kinect sensor for which it's become a showcase title. Last night at Microsoft's preview event in San Francisco, we found out that Child of Eden can use 360 pads, plural, for more than aiming and shooting.

A rep for developer Q Entertainment told Joystiq that the finished game will support vibration feedback effects spread across up to four controllers, the idea being that you can stick them in pockets, rolled-up sleeves -- anywhere, really -- to über-compensate for Kinect's lack of physical feedback. Mizuguchi himself told us "When I play the Kinect, I need some feedback" at last year's E3. It would appear that he's devised a quite novel, if not a bit absurd, way to satisfy that need -- not to mention out-crazy Rez's Trance Vibrator peripheral.

Thats actually pretty cool.



by standard, they mean regular controllers right? how the hell am i gonna put that in my sleeve?

So, I guess he expects people to play the game wearing sweatpants with controllers stuffed in the pockets.  Yeah, that's really cool.



amazon lists this on ps3 also is that correct? if its a rez style shooter id rather play it with move. the 4 controller is a neat idea though

it is listed on PS3, but no Move Support has been announced and iirc it was actually flatly denied so you would only be able to play with a regular controller presumably Rez style.

Tis is cool. I only have 2 controllers though.

I like Child of eden so far and I keep my eyes on it. It might be the game that makes me by Kinect.



I'm a busy man with no time to read OP's.  I just post blindly.  I assume they mean that it supports four "you's" since you are the controller.  That's awesome.  Don't try to correct me because I'm already posting somewhere else.
