Sony: “Sorcery Is Still In Development”

Dealspwn writes: "Good news everyone, the promising PlayStation Move title, Sorcery, is still in development despite disappearing from our radars for almost a year. Hugo Bustillos, Sony’s UK PR Executive today confirmed: “Yes, Sorcery is still in development."

Thank God. I was getting worried, especially after the slightly similar Medieval Moves was revealed at E3.

[FuzzyPixels]

It'll certainly be interesting to see how it'll differ. MM has stolen the limelight somewhat,

[I_find_it_funny]

Sorcery was that game that made me think Nice, I might actually get that Move thing, but it's not out yet and wasn't it supposed to be launch tittle or very soon after?

That's the problem with Move for me, I don't want it as a second optional controller, I want good games exclusive for Move. When I have a choice it's always dualshock.

edit/ Oh, True Crime: Hong Kong was canned, didnt know that

[nycredude]

How is that a problem with Move? Just buy it when you feel there is enough games for it. there are plenty of good Move only games all you have to do is look. Besides move works really well for the shooters. I know friends who don't play shooters without Move now.

[ABizzel1]

My guess is that Sony took notice of the response that it got at E3, and decided to make a true hardcore game rather than a lite game. They just have to make sure people still care by then.

[Abash]

Sorcery is still in development? Then I still may get a PS Move

[joydestroy]

yep, i've been looking forward to this game for a really long time. it's gonna be a lot of fun with the Move controller

[Max Power]

I think they weren't expecting the that kind of positive reception that they got when they revealed it and I am sure they are investing more time into it to make sure that it is a gem instead of a glorified tech demo.

Gamescom people Gamescom.

[sinncross]

Great news: this looked good.
Hopefully it is shown at gamescom along with that torch FPS title we know absolutely nothing about.

[bggriffiths]

Torch FPS? Tell me more. Something like The Grudge game on the Wii (but hopefully not an unplayable poo-pile)?

[sinncross]

Difficult to tell from the very little gameplay footage shown (cant find atm). it could have been a survival horror title, I just recall the player using a torch to look around a dark area.

I hope it has not been canned.

[Ness-Psi]

I think that torch/fps game got canned.

[THC CELL]

Its called redwood falls and it canned can be seen on youtube

[sinncross]

Redwood Falls got cancelled like 2-3 years before the PS Move was announced: its not the same game.

Additionally, in RF the character is holding the torch in an overhand manner, while in the Move title the character is holding it with their thumb on the power button.

This game is the reason I got MOVE. They pushed it back so much I forgot about it. I'm glad its still coming out though.

[CynicalVision]

Good, I'm looking forward to it. :)

On another note, as soon as I read 'Good news everyone' I couldn't help but read it as Dr Farnsworth.

[bggriffiths]

Yay, that's why I said it!

[Neeko]

A change in art direction would certainly explain the delay, but it's strange that Sony hasn't made a more public display of the fact that the game is still in development.

Gearing up for a hugely polished reveal perhaps? Here's hoping, Move is in desperate need of a few 'killer apps'.

[Chicago8506]

Agreed Neeko...
Sorcery was the "IT" game for me 2 E3's ago for PS Move..

A little visual update on this title would b more than welcomed....and PS Move does need that killer app.

Anyway...game on.

[WooHooAlex]

The update for LittleBigPlanet 2 is enough for me to buy a PSmove. Sorcery will be a bonus.

[Redempteur]

Happy to see that it is still Alive...

i'm happy with my move so far , but i do want more..

[TBONEJF]

This is the only reason i'll buy the MOVE JUST to play this game. But SONY needs to do something bout their commercial for this game.

[bggriffiths]

By that do you mean actually advertise it properly? I'm a bit tired of motion-control game ads that show over-enthusiastic familys playing the game, without actually showing the game itself. Gameplay is surely what we want to see from a commercial.

[TBONEJF]

That's what I meant to say thanks for clearing that up for me.

[Ddouble]

They need to market it well and i think they should start by renaming it. Sorcery is a name that would put of a lot of people.

[LocO_o]

"Sorcery is a name that would put of a lot of people"

I think you meant to say that name would put alot of soccer moms off.

Alot of people tend to disagree but the name in a game actually has some sort of influence from moms who are buying games for kids.

I saw this example at Best Buy my self when a mom and son walked in and she told the kid to get any game he wanted and he picked up Killzone 2 and his mom was like that game sounds too violent and he ended up getting Call of Duty instead - True Story

[etebitan]

Awesome, can't wait for this game.. It looked great at last E3, also i think they used some of the basic of this game in medieval moves(like the way you drink the milk), so maybe Sorcery is getting some more new and hardcore dinamics... One can only wish right?
