[size=+1]PS3 Motion Controller Out In Feb?[/size]

Famitsu has reported that Capcom are targeting a February release for the motion control version of Resident Evil

The magazine says the game is aiming for a 18 February release date in Japan, but doesn\'t mention the inclusion of motion control which was confirmed at this year\'s Tokyo Games Show.

“Either Capcom has dropped the feature, or Sony\'s wand system will be launched simultaneously”

If the date above proves accurate, this can mean one of two things – either Capcom has dropped the feature from the launch version of the Alternative Edition (maybe planning to add it as one of the DLC elements later on), or Sony\'s wand system will be launched simultaneously, at least in Japan.

Of course, both game and tech could still be on track for a simultaneous spring launch. We\'ve contacted both companies to see what the dealio is…

It will be a plus, clips.

[size=+2]Sony Patents Several Attachments for Wand Controllers[/size]

Sony has been doing a lot of brainstorming with their upcoming wand controllers, and has patented just about every idea you could imagine, and then some more.

This new patent by Sony Computer Entertainment shows several possibilities for their new motion/camera wand controller.  It seems like Sony has gone wild and patented every possibility that they\'ve brainstormed.  Either that or they\'re getting ready to surprise the world by simultaneously launching dozens of controllers with hundreds of combinations.  None of these are officially announced, and it\'s a possibility that none of these will see the light of day.  But it\'s very interesting to see just how serious Sony is about bringing some crazy new features to their controllers.

The patent application starts with a little history of how and why we want new awesome controllers:

[size=+1]PS3\'s \'existing franchises\' to get motion control[/size]

Sony\'s VP of worldwide studios has revealed that the firm\'s \'existing franchises\' are to get PS3 motion control support this year.

Speaking to CVG sister publication Official PlayStation Magazine, Michael Denny said that it was "important to us as the first party studio, as the flagship for PlayStation, that we\'re always pushing innovation".

Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet were shown at last year\'s Tokyo Games Show working with motion control.

When asked by OPM which titles we could expect to see working with Arc this year, Denny replied:

"We are both working on new games and looking at applications to our existing franchises."

What from Sony\'s stable would you like to see work with motion control, readers? Resistance, maybe? God Of War? Motorstorm?

Or perhaps the question should be what would you not like to see?

[size=+1]Gradius Arc? Color Us Curious, Konami[/size]

Konami may have come down with a case of shoot ‘em up fever and have a new Gradius game in the works called Gradius Arc.

 They filed a trademark for Gradius Arc earlier this year, which was released into the wild Japanese trademark database today. Since it’s only a trademark we’re not sure what kind of game Gradius Arc could be.

 Unless you count Otomedius, a spin-off, the last Gradius game was for WiiWare. Before that Treasure made Gradius V with Konami for the PlayStation 2.

is anyone planning on buying this?

not that I\'m into any of the motion sensor stuff, but if I had to pick one natal seems to blow this one out of the water. Granted the only use I\'ve seen of the "Move" is LBP, and it seemed kind of forced.

they said this one would "under 100 bucks". It may be worth that, but I probably wouldnt want to pay more than 40

for 100 buck it comes with a game and the playstation eye.

I\'ll probably go for it, i wanted to buy the EyePet for my son this autaumn

Sports games and a lot of cool stuff will be developed for Move, and I don\'t think Natal will be better, just different.

[size=+1]SOCOM 4, played with PlayStation Move: our thoughts[/size]

We played with the PlayStation Move at the party last night, but at Sony\'s more intimate gathering at the W Hotel today it was easier to get a better picture of the peripheral. The main games on the floor were interesting, but the game we wanted to play? SOCOM 4, with the PlayStation Move.

This was the game that was aimed at hardcore gamers, and the guys from Zipper told us that they were able to get this build up in a matter of weeks; the tools Sony was providing its developers for Move support were intuitive. This was also the first time we were able to use the secondary, nunchuk-like controller to add analog movement to the Move. We were able to play the game for about 20 minutes.

Aiming the crosshairs with the Move worked well, and I didn\'t feel any lag. While I was new to the game, the firefights and encounters were a blast with the controller; there is something much more satisfying about aiming at the screen with a controller instead of moving an analog stick. This is a controller that\'s ready for more mainstream use in shooters, and the fact that Sony already has a high-profile release that uses the technology so well is heartening.

The d-pad allowed you to give commands to your squad, and you can send two groups of soldiers to different objectives. It almost felt like a real-time strategy game; you can set up some series covery fire if you\'re able to think that far ahead in the combat. "We\'re looking at gestures," we\'re told when ask about things like throwing grenades and the like. "[The Move] leads a lot of accessibility to a hardcore game like this."

The team at Zipper spent three months with the controller, and the work has paid off. Will we use the Move when we\'re playing online and care about our score? Maybe not. But it adds an extra layer of fun to the gameplay of a title that already looks mature. It took a little bit of talking to get behind the velvet rope to play this demo, but it was worth it. We\'re starting to see the promise.
