There’s a small bit of excitement about the PS3 Move motion controller. People say it’s not as interesting as Microsoft’s Natal, but game devs and users seem excited about its precision. It will be interesting to see all the ways in which Move gets used in games. The hack and slash genre should see some benefits, for sure.
But I think it’s also exciting for a reason that one of the Sony execs (I forget which) mentioned: consoles have thus far lacked pointer functionality. There are games that are made for the PC, like a variety of strategy games, that are never made for consoles mainly because PCs have an accurate mouse pointer, and consoles lack such a pointer. I hope the Move means some great pointer based strategy games can be released for the PS3.
I for one would love to play Age of Empires on the PS3 — a pipe dream, I know, because Age of Empires is a Microsoft product. However, in spite of my dislike for Microsoft these days, I think Age of Empires is one of the greatest games ever made. So hopefully, we will see a lot of strategy games that were not previously possible being made for the PS3!
