Lord of the Rings Aragorn's Quest coming to PS3 with Motion Controller

Playstation Insider:

"On the heels of the newly revealed Sony PlayStation motion controller, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be bringing The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest to the PlayStation 3, which will support the motion controller technology. In addition to PS3, the game will also be available on PS2, Wii and Nintendo DS this fall. "

this is exactly what i expected from sony.

Cover the BIG developers and the smaller developers in one swoop.

[AridSpider]

wow this is shaping up to be the launch of what seems like brand new consoles from Sony and Microsoft. Can't wait to see the launch titles

[Blaze929]

Yeah it's definitely going to be a heated Autumn.

[JasonXE]

well as long as they dont forget about that games that matter to use core audiences.

[Dude420]

Because he's excited of what's coming?

Oh wait, he mentioned Microsoft that's why lol.

[Blaze929]

That's the problem Microsoft and Natal will face. Where as any Wii game could also be a PS3 game now, the same can't be said for Natal.

[JasonXE]

good point

[jalen247]

You are right...

These types of situations are when Natal will lack support.

Its going to be difficult for a third party to justify making one Natal Sku versus two motion controller skus (PS3 and Wii).

More money will be made from combined Wii and PS3 sku sales versus single 360 sku sales.

[Blaze929]

Exactly. I guess with Natal though, Microsoft can finally have some true 360 exclusives lmao

[tokoshix]

This is why the current gen is so very interesting. Next gen is a long way from now, but things will definitely be different.

[JasonXE]

what the hell?

[ProA007]

pay him no mind

[FlameBaitGod]

Don't blame me, blame my name :(, anyways I dk y mine was deleted It had nothing bad.

if mine is off topic then pro and toko are off topic too right ? Or is this bias I sense ?

[ProA007]

sweet

[tunaks1]

this game is being made by the teams behind Battalion Wars, and HOTD OK,
I cant wait to see how it turns out.

[Blaze929]

indeed

[JasonXE]

that's a definite plus.

[Sevir04]

This should be interesting, Wii/PS3 exclusives....? lol!!! never thought i'd see that.

[Mahr]

So, wait, one studio's making the Wii version while the other studio is handling the PS3, PS2, PSP, and DS versions?

Interesting division of labor, I guess. I would have thought things would be grouped by consoles/handhelds or motion control/traditional control.

[tunaks1]

"So, wait, one studio's making the Wii version while the other studio is handling the PS3, PS2, PSP, and DS versions? "
I remember in a interview they said the DS and PSP version were being done by different teams not sure though, once i find the link ill post

[Crazybone126]

I still don't believe the arc is going to be THAT big...we'll see

[ProA007]

agree but like you said, we'll see. Oh and it's Playstation Move now.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Won't be big either...Its a big hype machine with no guts

[Blackcanary]

i've played every single Lord of the ring game so far can't wait.

[ProA007]

true fan

[ozstar]

Whats even more interesting is whos developing which version. Only the Wii version is being made by Headstrong Games.
The Ps3 version, which is the same one as the PS2, PSP and DS one, is being made by TT Fusion, who ever they are.

[Mahr]

"TT Fusion, who ever they are"

They're the guys who made the "Lego _______" games.

[kesvalk]

coming to ps2? this means this game will suck, like all the other games that was lauched to wii and PS2 nowdays...

a pity i was really looking foward to a good game of LotR

[Seekerofthewind]

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories sucked? That's news to me...I beat it, thought it was pretty good. Or maybe this comment was a thoughtless generalization...*shrug*

[Baka-akaB]

the lego games didnt suck .

Nor did stuff like Fifa and PES .

What matter is if the studio is talented enough , and doesnt just pump downgraded crap from the new consoles to the ps2 and psp

[pixelsword]

I wasn't really feeling some of the arc games, but when they did the SOCOM 4 demo, I was really into that type of control in a FPS.

So the arc can do hardcore games, like the Wii with the Metroid games, BUT a bit more freedom I would say in terms of control

Now Microsoft has to sell me on Natal doing the same thing. I think Valve can pull it off, but the whole moving with your hands thing looked kinda weak... but it wasn't finished, so I think they might give us a sweet surprise.

ON TOPIC:

As long as it's better than Conquest, I'm happy. They need the PC version with 50 vs 50 multiplayer from conquest, though.

[Brasi82]

All these ports of Wii games could really help the Wii's quality of games from third parties. Why make a crappy game and put in on both consoles and it wont sell when you can make a good one and sell lots more? It'll be nice to see the progression of more quality Wii games. Imagine, build a game from ground up for the Wii, sell it, update the graphics for PS3, sell it. It'll work out real nice for both parties.

[Nicholas Cage]

your right, never thought id see the day a wii/ps3 exclusive came. aragorns quest looks promising. it lord of the rings for crying out loud!

[topgeareasy]

to see gameplay

[Luthiens1]

Nice, sword fighting, archery on horse back and co-op. I'm in.

[saimcheeda]

I've played only 1 LotR game and it was pretty good!
