LOS ANGELES--It seems Sony might have surprised its developers with the announcement of a tilt-sensitive PlayStation 3 controller almost as much as it surprised gamers.
In the latest installment of his Electronic Entertainment Expo blog, Seth Schiesel of The New York Times talks about the changing face of the event and his impressions of the lineups on display from Nintendo and Sony. Though it´s buried near the bottom of the entry, the following excerpt from the article is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows:
Set in a science-fiction war zone, Warhawk is the first game to make public use of Sony´s own kinetic controller, which mimics the Wii device. Unfortunately for Sony, the admission by one of the Warhawk developers that his team got its hands on the new controller less than two weeks ago reinforced the impression that Sony only added motion-sensitive technology at the last minute in a hasty attempt to match Nintendo.
Representatives from Sony didn´t return requests for comment on the report.
Il semblerait que le développeurs ont été prévenus de l´intégration d´une manette gyroscopique à la PS3, il y a seulement 15 jours...
Il ne devrait donc pas y avoir grand chose comme jeux a tirer profit de cette fonctionnnalités sur le salon.
Et comme le souligne le New York Times, cela renforce l´idée de tous que Sony a rajouté cette fonctionnalités à la dernière minutes pour contrer la Wii.
Et encore un quotidien qui descrédite la politique de Sony, il va falloir réagir et vite je pense...
