With Sony's many, many announcements covering the Playstation Move, more new titles being announced. One of the most recent announcements to come out of the GDC is a title called Slider. Slider is pretty much exactly what it describes... You sit in an office chair and ride it down to the bottom of a hill.
There are unique concepts and then there's Slider. At a glance, you'd think the description of the game is more of a prank and less of a legitimate premise…and then you realize it's designed with the PlayStation Move in mind, and you're suddenly intrigued by its zaniness. The reason we label the genre as "Miscellaneous" is because we have no idea if it's more of a racing game or action game, or perhaps it's a combination of both.
Will Powers writes: "Right now this is the only 'announced' game being developed for PS Move from SCEJ. That doesn't mean that this is the only game in development by that studio, just that this is the only one that the public is made aware of. And it is VERY Japanese, but in all of the good ways!"
Siliconera writes: Remember the PlayStation Move game where you escape from the Yakuza by riding an office chair? It's called Slider and we spoke with George Weising, Producer, to find out more about it and if SCEJ is working on any other PlayStation Move games for North America.
Slider is such an offbeat game, maybe you can start by explaining the concept?
George Weising, Producer: Slider is a game about a detective and secretary trying to escape the Yakuza because they are up to their neck in debt. You're trying to escape through the streets in Hong Kong, on office furniture, to a busted down van.
Office Chair? Hill? Mobsters?!
Out of all the games shown at the move reveal, this is the one I am most interested in. Even if you don't like motion games and whatnot, you got to admit that this will be one interesting game to watch in motion. Hope to see some videos of this soon.
