PS3 Motion Controller Games: The Current Official List

Sony's new (still nameless) motion controllers will be out sometime in 2010. There are already an impressive number of games announced that will use the new motion controllers...

THE MAX SPEED 215946d ago

The potential of "Arc" is wide. Based on the E3 demonstration and the PS3 core tech all I see is great potential ahead.

And Ape Escape X montion control = Win in my book.

Jaces5945d ago

Please please no shovelware!

Kushan5945d ago

The POTENTIAL of both "Arc"/"GEM" ; and Natal is quite substantial, but so was the POTENTIAL of the Wii and look at how that turned out - about 100 pathetic games for every 1 decent game and even then, most good Wii titles are nothing special, with just a few real excellent titles worth playing.
I'm sitting firmly on the fence when it comes to this motion controller stuff, but I'll say this much - I've yet to see one truly compelling omgmusthaveondayofrelease looking title from either camp.

THE MAX SPEED 215945d ago

true but the wii has an outdated hardware(gamecube 0.5) unlike the ps3.

darkmurder5945d ago

Ape Escape, Motion Party, The Shoot, Sing and Draw. Smells like shovelware to me, hopefully this and Natal can fail asap so we can go ahead in gaming not behind.

Guido5945d ago

1) Resident Evil 5: Alternate Edition:
Features new content with the ability to aim your weapons with the motion controller.

2) Ape Escape

3) Motion Party

4) Sing and Draw

5) Echochrome

6) Champions of Time

7) Mr. Pain

8) Under Siege

9) Tower

10) The Shoot

11) Eccentric Slider

I'd play through RE5 to see how it works with motion controls. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

rambi805945d ago (Edited 5945d ago )

Shovelware is needed for any console to have broad appeal.

You cannot simply cater to the "Hardcore" demographic - males 14 - 35.
You need stuff for kids + families.

At $600 you cater to the hardcore - but as the ps3 price drops - the shovelware will come as the other demographics will be targeted.

I just hope some platformers come - i'm tired of playing them on psp

marinelife95945d ago

They need a robin hood game so I can do some archery and sword fighting.

sikbeta5945d ago (Edited 5945d ago )

@darkmurder

HEY!!! Ape Escape is far for being Shovelware lol

@Guido

Add to that List an Amazing Game:

LBP YEAH!!!!

I don't like the idea of motion-c on my Beast3, but LBP is LBP...Damn IT!

Gamers FTW!!!

SilentNegotiator5945d ago

Pleeease give us a definitive motion Sword game, plz plz PLZ!

Blaze9295945d ago

and Resident Evil 5: Alternate Edition is the only game I care about on there.

Bigpappy5945d ago

This would not work. Those demo's they showed for LBP and RE5 will not sell in a final version. They need an analog input. I know some of you are going to say that MS is doing the same thing with Natal. Before you go there, know that with Natal, there is nothing in your hand, so you can easily use both hands for the controller the way it was designed to be used. The wand + DS3 = horrible idea.

Christopher5945d ago

Really not excited by any of those. I'm happy to see RE5 get some integration to see how it's possible, though I think it's more possible for that since you don't run and gun.

Still not being won over by the motion gaming options from Sony or Microsoft.

Raz5945d ago

What happened to the SixAxis motion controller that comes bundled with the system? You know, the motion control that was so important it initially replaced rumble? Anyone?

I'll tell you what happened: LAIR. And a very low number of developers utilizing the SixAxis. Why? It became evident that despite the brief novelty value, people don't want to wave their controllers around. If we wanted physical exercise, we'd go for a walk.

Meh...we'll see what happens, but it's going to take some REALLY good games to make me spring for another accessory.

Christopher5945d ago

Just one item, technically SixAxis did not replace rumble. Rumble was not included initially due to a lawsuit happening at that time over compensation for the creator of rumble. Once the lawsuit was finished, DS3 came out.

I agree with you an SixAxis and I have to say that I'm honestly happy to see SixAxis go the way of the dodo. It's not bad for the one bowling game, but other than that it's been a distraction during certain games, suddenly crossing a balance beam and having to use SixAxis instead of the standard analog controls.

Raz5945d ago

Ah! Makes sense. Thanks for the info, I didn't know about the dispute. Bubbles +

Monchichi0255945d ago

I'm thinking that Sony's wand is going to fail. Nit for lack of being great because I personally think it will be the best experience of the 3. I think it will fail due to the lack of "Hype" and the lack of market.
Even though I think the Natal won't deliver what they promise, MS and Natal are demolishing Sony with the Hype machine as they have EVERYONE talking about it. Sony's wand is beating treated as just another periphel by the media and Sony themselves.
Add to this the PS3 has failed to generate the mass market like the PS2 did, and this spells trouble. Due to the initial high price point and content, PS3's seem to cater to use hardcore gamers while the 360 has attracted all the teenagers and other more casual gamers that play games like Halo, Modern warfare and sportsgames. See sales numbers of these casual games and log on to Xbox live for proof of this. And sadly, these are the people who will be intersted in motion sensored games.

mastiffchild5945d ago

@bigpappy-you're so right. The longer it goes with no new control for the analog stick the more I'#m certain Sony ar going into this already beaten and have wasted ALL the R&D budget for the hwhole "Arc" project. The DS3 in the other hand:is cheap and pikey to look at, is uncomfortable right away and would be a pain for using for more than a minute or two even for adults, when we mocked it up with a Wiimote in one hand and a DS3 in the other my kids(none of them from 8 to 14) could even use the DS3 in this role as it was either too big, too heavy opr both, for them in one hand-they couldn't even push the stick fully in all directions-and it's going to signal the eath of this before it starts, imo, as comfort will be VERY important to casuals and to everyone else, imo. Also looking crappy when even Ninty have a custom made solution that works well for the job(and is cheaper and casuals don't give two craps about pixel numbers or resolution)is a nightmare and makes Sony look totally unprofesional-you wouldn't think that Sony were the ones with a history in hardware design and manufacture if they go with such a rubbish answer to the issue of getting about the gameworlds.

Seriously, why one earth has it got this far and we've seen nothing to suggest Sony have another answer(besides DS3) for this job? Are they really so daft that they think people will go and buy something like the wands when the equally important part of the analog stick hasn't got even a workable solution? Sony, if you have any sense, you HAVE to make something for the job and do it now or this is so full of fail it'll be spilling out into other areas by association-it's no kind of answer, doesn't even work and would only have the benefit of being cheap(for them as we already have them, and for those already owning a PS3)but as most motion control fans either haven't joined in yet or own a Wii why would they go for the more expensive and less functional PS3 system with no nunchuck?

I'm also AMAZED that no journos ever seem to ask them WTF they think they're doing! Compared to how you controlled RE4 on the Wii the RE5 demo with the guy using the DS3 innone hamnd looked a nightmare and when I tried it myself I knew there was no comparison. Sony's wands can be as accurate as they like but with no analog solution they might as well sack it right now. Seriously, it won't work for many, if any people and won't atract any new custom when it looks pikey as hell and would cost more for a first time buyer. I'm a bit gutted as I was REALLY looking forward to seeing how those more accurate controls pann4ed out on the PS3 RE5 alternate edition but as they stand I wouldn't be able to play with any degree of comfort so won't be buying into the wands whatsoever til a real answer is made by Sony. I honestly don't believe they're being so dim about it all but with no evidence at all to suggest they might be making a proper, working and comfy "nunchuck" style control to go with Arc-what are we meant to think?

Obviously, if Natal doesn't hav a good answer either that's going to be dead for trad games as well but with Sony supposedly going the more "Wii " route how screwed is this?

nycredude5945d ago

darkmurder

Just because you are not interested doesn't mean every Ps3 owner feels this way. There are alot of Ps3 owners and I am sure some will hate the motion controls and some will love it. How can catering to all of your different type of consumers be bad. BTW the last I checked Sony spending resources on this hasn't in any way impede their progress in the games department. Exclusives after exclusives I can't even keep up.

This is actually a sequel to one of my all time favorites,
Scream and Scribble.

Seriously though its good to see some games in the pipeline.

redfirm5945d ago

sorry but i always get sad when people use the term pipeline. as a gamedesigner i can tell you that a pipeline is nothing more then how you use certain software to deliver 1 product

so you use photoshop for texturing
3D studio max or maya for modeling and unwrapping
if you cant map then crazybump for making the normals,specs and bumpmaps

so thats what we call a pipeline system
please stop using that term

god bless

Nicaragua5945d ago (Edited 5945d ago )

Dont be so pompous, the term has existed since well before the days of software design to signify something that is on the way.

In this context it has nothing to do with software so maybe you should broaden your vocabulary a bit, then you'll make less of a chump out of yourself.

LeonSKennedy4Life5945d ago

@redfirm

Have you ever watched Tool Academy on Vh1?

Can I sign you up?

ExgamerLegends25945d ago

Where is Legend of Kunoichi? Or was that not official.

Snowb4205945d ago (Edited 5945d ago )

Didn't they show that with motion controls at some event a little while ago?

EDIT: Come to think of it, they will probably just patch in motion controls. If that's even possible anyways.

Wrathman5945d ago

i honestly cant see how any of them games wont be the same shovelware that the WII does or natal will pumpin out.

face it.they want to kill core gaming.game development is about to be pushed back to the stone age.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7716d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7725d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga25d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga24d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger24d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box25d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion24d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7225d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7524d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7725d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
