Forums - Sony - Sony to have 1:1 motion tracking sword game by XMAS. Look out Nintendo!

Proooobably worth highlighting this before Wiiamdoomed gains steam:

Although the motion-sensing has 1:1 accuracy, it’s only in the two dimensions onscreen, rather than the three dimensions that the Wii Remote can manage. The EyeToy also cannot detect more subtle movements such as the twisting of the player’s wrist. The EyeToy still has difficulty distinguishing colours accurately in anything but the brightest of lighting conditions.

It's a 2d game, it's on rails, and it cannot detect "subtle movements." Some pretty gigantic conditionals on this 1:1 movement.

 

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

There are just too many compromises in this setup. I know they want to have a piece of the "motion-control" game, but if they are just throwing stuff around without a serious committment, then there isn't a point in trying at all.

Too cartoony. Must be for kids...



Predictions for 2009: (Right) (Wrong) (Partial)

Pokemon Gold/Silver DS Japan in September

NES colored Wii and SNES Classic Controler for Christmas

Super Role Bros for Christmas

FF Remakes announced; VII PS3 VIII 360 IX Wii

New Super Mario World November 2009

So it's basically an even crappier version of Dragon Quest Swords that requires a peripheral?

The PS eye aka EyeToy has been around for a while now so what ever. They are to different ways to play video games. Not really a serious sweat for Nintendo.

 

Nintendo will be doomed if both Sony and Micrsoft build a product like the one in your avatar.



Console Agnostic since 2001.

I would actually accept Sony's words that are a reference to wii, are words of acceptance that the wii has done something that they wished they had done too.

First Real Play, now this.
