It seems everyday, some new information about the PlayStation Move is unveiled and it all appears to be positive.
PlayStation LifeStyle reports the reasons why Sony passed on a standalone 3-D camera interface and their own impressions about the Move.
"...We worked closely with our game teams at what it would enable, and it enabled making the things we already did with EyeToy more robust, but it didn’t really enable as many new experiences as what we were hoping it would enable, so it made the things we were already able to do a little bit more robust — which is good — but it adds a lot of cost and it didn’t enable some of the other experiences we wanted to achieve." - Dr. Richard Marks, Engadget Show via PlayStation LifeStyle
Interesting. I was curious why Sony passed on this chance, especially with their experience with the EyeToy last generation. The Engadget show demonstration was sick. It really shows off the tech positively. Reading impressions and thoughts about the new controller online from various sources, the one thing they keep forgeting about is...
It literally is a Wiimote and Nunchuck attachment. Yes. We get that. However unlike the Wii, there is also a camera and microphone directed to the user like Natal which adds new dimensions of interactivity and creativity.
Exciting times indeed! I can't wait for E3 2010!
