Sony explains why Sorcery won’t support DualShock 3

SCEA Santa Monica Studio’s Brian Upton explains why the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive title, Sorcery, won't be supporting the DualShock 3 controller.

"Sorcery won’t support DualShock 3"
maybe because it's a "move" game

[Regent_of_the_Mask]

Datura is a game built around the Move and would really take you out of the experience by using a controller. They decided to support the controller anyways much like this game should've done.

[InTheLab]

Doesn't need an explanation...but..

If it did support DS3, first thing out of the mouth of the media would be why there are no Move only games...

[Baka-akaB]

Yeah this is the kind of BS no one can win against . When move arrived as a neat option , people were like "we want exclusive move games" , and now that there is a worthwhile one ? "Why can't i play it with the pad ?" .

It's move only , because it is .

[lodossrage]

I was going to bring up that EXACT same point. Everyone moaned and whined about not having "move only games".

But now just wait for it. You'll start seeing a few people complain about "why don't we have a DualShock option".

[BraidedWALLACE]

You speak nothing but the truth. Bubbles for you.

This is the game I bought a Move for. It looked so inventive and fresh and fun. I imagined Sony pumping out a lot of Move only games that were like this and some even better. The problem is, it hasn't happened yet. With Sony putting out the Vita, the Move has taken a back seat and mostly gets added support on to a game that doesn't really need it.

I like the idea of getting an experience with the Move that cannot be achieved anywhere else, finally this game looks to be that experience. I have it pre-ordered.

[Afterlife]

To be honest, the game looks like a PSN/PS2 game. By that I mean the graphics.

[IRetrouk]

Look again,

[Afterlife]

I did before even commenting. It's all about the gameplay though but I was expecting better. Even Hevenly Sword looks better than this and that's a 1st gen PS3 game

[Baka-akaB]

i wish i had the same ps2 then , whenever i see comment like that on various games .

EDIT :

Rofl at edit , Heavenly sword looks (but doesnt run )better than many current games anyway so ...
It looks (and runs) even better than Enslaved , so hardly the best example to use imo .

The only two things revealing its age would be the blur and the engine's framerate .

Wanna see poor looking games looking like a ps2 reject turned hd ? Try something like Genji 2 on ps3 instead .

@ afterlife

??????? honestly dont know what to say to you other than your abit delusional, the lighting alone is better than alot of games, game looks nice, your just trolling, but whatever.

[MysticStrummer]

You evidently have an overly fond memory of what PS2 games looked like.

[Hicken]

I mean, geez, the PS2 has most of my favorite games, but even I'M not that blinded by nostalgia.

Either that, or his PS2 runs 1080p.

[badz149]

he might be telling the truth! the original PS2 might not be able to pull off this graphics but the PS2 emulator on pc might.

lol

[vikingland1]

If this game borrows from wii zelda in terms of motion control and adventure it will be a must have for me.

@ Afterlife your PS2 must have been better than mine was.

[sprinterboy]

I think after a yr of release they will patch it for a dualshock release just to boost sales again. It will be almost a new game release again, hope gamers support it to show other companies there is a good userbase there to make enough profit off there move only game they might be thinking of making but are unsure on the risk.

[PirateThom]

I need to get my Move back... mostly got 4AM, but this as well.

[devilhunterx]

You mean how the analog stick support was patched in for Lair?

[Raoh]

LOL Sony can't win with anyone.

[kma2k]

"...it would be like trying to play gow3 with a mouse" that was actually pretty funny!

[TheDivine]

Its a good thing sony needs a whole hell of a lot more move only games if they want it to really compete. I think it was more of a "me too" thing. They thought people were buying wii's over ps3's because of motion controls so they made their own. They did a damn fine job of making sure games suport it but honestly people dont prefer motion controls, they put up with them. In the best cases like other m, skyward sword, and wii sports its better and wouldnt work with a normal controller which are the types of games sony need to make. Sports Champions was one and it rocked.

The game itself looks kiddie and boring. Nothing like the dark magic based rpg i was hoping for.

[badz149]

this game has never been promised as a RPG EVER! they said it from the get go that it's an action game
