Don't get too excited, folks. This isn't a game adaptation of a popular sci-fi series. Slider is one of the first PlayStation Move-enabled games to come out Sony's Japan Studios. It's also a perfect example of a game that's significantly hampered by uninspired motion control design.
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.
