While Sony and Microsoft have been locked in a war going into the holiday season, and promoting their respective motion sensing devices as the best, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) worldwide boss sees Microsoft’s Kinect media blitz not as a problem for PS Move, but rather a blessing.
He said it’s the type of free attention Move would have never received if Microsoft wasn’t pushing Kinect.
The Naughty Dogs weren’t the biggest fans of motion control gaming, but since the Wii has enjoyed so much success, they’ve changed their minds. Now, the very company which owns Naughty Dog has taken its position in the motion gaming space.
Microsoft’s TGS press conference had a lot to do with cutting this year, especially in the upcoming hack-n-slash title, Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
And I mean cutting at will — what you like, Zan-Datsu if you please. Below the break’s the MGS:R trailer demonstrating exactly what took place.
Sony’s presser’s in full swing folks, and we won’t miss a beat. Below the break, a ton of PlayStation related news are yours for the reading, drinking and quenching.
The notables we’ll give separate posts, let’s dance.
Busy times call for special efforts, and tonight, GamesThirst’s covering everything from Microsoft’s Presser to Sony’s own in the wee hours of the morning.
Can you hang? Sure you can, have a look at the times once more past the break.
Yes, fighting words from Sony CEO, Jack Tretton there, but the man has a point; Move is indeed the most accurate motion control device out amongst the throng.
A full video interview with Fox News and Mr. Tretton is at the source.
In the world of advertising, Microsoft is king. King at doing it right and also spending megabucks. For Sony, all that is not even necessary, and when it comes to going head-to-head with the software giant, Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America, said his company won’t ever “outspend” MS.
Kevin Butler has once again proven to the world why he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to Sony’s advertising department.
I’m serious. Below the break, the best motion control trailer ever released.
Put together accuracy, precision, overall responsiveness and what you have is the PlayStation MOVE. At Gamescom, over Microsoft’s Kinect, the peripheral won best hardware.
Killzone 3 and MOVE? By all means, catch the Gamescom footage for yourself after the break.
Sony rocked Gamescom did it not? The company brought out the big guns and went on a shooting spree. Not only did the hardware giant unveil one of its biggest franchises at the show: Resistance 3, we also saw the massive franchise, Mass Effect, make its first showing on the console.
PS3 MOVE was also on hand, and to celebrate the motion controller’s release, Sony announced a 320GB PS3 MOVE bundle for $399.99 /€347 and also a 160GB PS3 for $299.99 which will replace the current 120Gb model.
There’s something taking place underneath the radar that no one seems to be paying attention to. Something so radical, that it’ll change the gaming industry, and how we perceive it, forever.
It’ll force developers to think differently. Cause them to broaden their perspective and open up their minds to new ways of thinking, and in the process getting rid of an old taboo that has been for too long. The guys are going no where mind you, we’re here to stay, but be prepared to live in the same house with……….
Women, the future of gaming.
