Speaking to CVG in London last night, the Montreal and Toronto boss said that the developer would consider incorporating Natal and PS3 motion devices into existing franchises.

existing franchises eh? It'd be cool if they patched in some of their games that have been released for Motion controls. Not that Ubi has had any decent game since PoP in dec =/
And i dont want motion controls in an actiong game like PoP.
Which was short and crap compared to the last gen PoP. Now he was bad-ass -.-

Pennywise5721d ago

PoP was my biggest disappointment. Very sad what they did to that series.

UBisoft will find that the PS3 is an easier approach to make a mo-co game, since they can just port those stupid little wii games onto the system.

Yup. I noticed while playing sports bar VR. Normally I might get some movement from the moves and sometimes it makes me accidentally hit the ball with the pool stick.

After the update, it seemed to know where my hands were. Still won't fix the tracking in games like lethal. Because I'm turned around and the camera can't see me because my body is in the way forcing me to use my other hand or try and stand out of the way to shoot. That's more the developer's fault in not designing for 180 when they ported the game from PC VR when the game was 360 degrees in view. Also noticed that I can bring the move up to my face without it going crazy trying to figure out which light to track.

Much better though.Keep improving Sony. Makes VR just that much better and more fun.

This is great news. I have had terrible luck with the tracking of the move controllers.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5491d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5491d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5491d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495491d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5491d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5491d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
