Forums - Gaming Discussion - Naughty Dog talks about the Wii and motion controlls

Naughty Dog has worked on some pretty significant franchises such like Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Dexter, and most recently, Uncharted. While the company has been busy with the PlayStation 3 in recent years, the company will not be developing a Wii title anytime soon, as they are a subsidiary of Sony.

With that said, Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells appreciates the system. In an interview, Wells was asked if Naughty Dog has been considering motion control for the future. In his response, Wells discussed some of his feelings regarding the Wii and complemented some of its software.

"I think right for the genre that we're in? We really don't have any interest in using the motion control to do a third-person action game. If we were going to make a motion controller game, I think we'd want to tackle it from the bottom up and make sure that we were designing the game around the motion control, the way the best Wii games are designed. I'm not a Wii hater at all, in fact, it's probably one of my most played consoles in the house. I have a 3-year old son which might account for some of that [laughs], but I think Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are some of the best experiences of this generation, honestly. They're immensely playable and competitive, and just great fun with a group of people in the same room. Yeah, I think the PlayStation audience is totally for it, in fact, I bet you there are lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community. If there is some really good software for that motion controller, I think it can be a big, big success."

How could he have said something like that? I thought, I thought Sony developers are paid by Sony to say negative stuff about other companies and glorify PS3 hardware! :O

Naughty Dog is really proving to itself that it is very innovative.

i think alot of the people who own an hd console alot of times have a wii along with it.. but dont have both hd consoles. its like having cookies with soda!haha



I BET NATHAN DRAKE CAN KICK SAM FISHERS ASS!

Perfectly sane and honest reply by a dev.... refreshing...



He makes good points, and his comments show that ND really are a good developer, and understand you can't just tack on motion controls, you have to design for them right from the basic principles of the game.

Also, I'd note I'm 'out the closet' as I happily mix playing on Wii with playing on PS3.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
