The PR campaign for the Motion Controller is all substance and no spin

Sony and Microsoft are about to embark on a motion sensing war to end all wars, but so far Sony have been remarkably low-key in their promotion of the Motion Controller.

Traditionally, we expect a lot of fanfare and proclamations of a new world on the horizon. It hasn’t exactly been the case so far with our exposure mostly coming from a few relaxed test demos.

Well for Rob Dyer, SCEA’s Senior Vice President of Publisher Relations, the gloves are finally off: statements, in an interview with IndustryGamers, claiming Microsoft are thrashing Sony at a PR game provoked a lengthy response from Dyer, during which he stated how “proud” he was at the way the PR campaign is being led.

Capcom are ready to make 3D games

Capcom are satisfied that they have the technology in place to make 3D games. However, they will be undergoing research before deciding which of their franchises will be launching out of our screens.

Motion Control: can the PS3 avoid becoming a dumping ground for dreadful party games?

Earlier we announced that Sony Computer Entertainment had dated their new Motion Controller (a provisional title) for release this autumn. With its release in sight, we contemplate whether the PS3 with motion sensing is a match made in gaming heaven or whether we should expect to be overrun by a deluge of lobotomy-inducing novelty games – as has arguably been the case with the Wii.
