Sony reveals release date and compatible games for PS3 motion controller
When Sony first revealed its PS3 motion controller in May, details were notably sparse.
Four months on, and they’ve finally settled on a release date of Spring 2010, and published a list of compatible games for the vaguely sex toy-esque device. Here’s what we’ll be flailing to (it’s nothing like Nintendo’s Wiimote, HONEST):
- Ape Escape (Working Title)
- Echochrome 2 (Working Title)
- Eccentric Slider (Working Title)
- Sing and Draw (Working Title)
- Champions of Time (Working Title)
- Motion Party (Working Title)
- Shoot (Working Title)
- Tower (Working Title)
- PAIN *
- Flower *
- Hustle Kings *
- High Velocity Bowling *
- EyePet *
Nice to see Echochrome 2 there (sequel to what I thought was an excellent little puzzler), but what’s most interesting about this list are the bottom five titles. If you didn’t already know, PAIN, Flower, Hustle Kings, High Velocity Bowling, and EyePet are already released, and will have a motion control function added to them via a PlayStation Network update.
The official PlayStation blog also reports that demonstrations of LittleBigPlanet and Resident Evil 5 using the controller were shown at the Tokyo Game Show. Looks like Sony may be adding post-release motion control patches to more games than the official press release suggests!
