By now you may have seen the update on our new PlayStation 3 motion controller, via our live video stream at GDC. In case you missed it, let me introduce you to ‘PlayStation Move’.
We first showed the ‘Move’ controller prototype at E3 in 2009 and we’re now ready with the final design, along with an early look at just a few of the upcoming games…
Take a look at our trailer below, which aims to explain PlayStation Move in more detail:
Our launch games are designed to appeal to all PlayStation 3 fans. We’ve got our own take on social games such as ‘Sports Champions’ and ‘Move Party’ (both working titles) as well as keeping our more serious gamers in mind with DUKES and EA’s Tiger Woods 2010. Many of our existing franchises such as SOCOM will also be enhanced with PlayStation Move functionality – because of Move’s low performance impact on the PS3 system we’re able to add this to our existing games without compromising graphical quality or gameplay. The PlayStation Move experience will offer our players a fun, high definition and immersive gaming experience.
As you know, we’ve got a lot of experience working with motion and camera-based control systems, having created the original EyeToy for PlayStation 2 back in 2003. This experience has really helped make sure our new control system is incredibly accurate and responsive. PlayStation development teams are working hard to create a strong and exciting line-up of games – you’ll be hearing more about new titles in the coming months but for now, here is a list of the games we’ve announced so far:
- Dukes — Brawl your way to the top in this brutal bare-knuckle boxing game.
- Move Party — Chaotic multiplayer where you never know what will happen next!
- Sports Champions — The greatest athletes in the world are ready, are you?
- TV Superstars — Be a contestant in five TV game shows to prove that you are the biggest star.
- Slider — Kung-fu action – on an office chair!?!
- The Shoot — Take out the bad guys but make sure the movie director likes your style!
More news both from first and third party publishers to follow in the near future…
You will be able to get involved with PlayStation Move in several ways:
- Camera + controller (including a “starter disc” with a range of demos for games releasing later in the year)
- A single controller for people who already have a PlayStation Eye camera
- A full console pack which includes PS3, dualshock3, Move controller + camera
- Finally some of our biggest games will be available with a Move controller included
We’ve also announced the Subcontroller this week, an additional peripheral for use with more hardcore titles like SOCOM, which benefit from analogue stick input.
Move is one of our big priorities for PlayStation 3 in Europe this year so look out for our ads and product updates.
I look forward to hearing your feedback and responses to the announcement of PlayStation Move in America this week. Watch out for interviews with Move developers from GDC here on PlayStation.Blog.
Start moving and being at the centre of the action and start a new way to play on PlayStation 3 in 2010…

Ciretho – “whilst the Move would provide a novel FPS experience, it’s not as efficient, nor as simple as the basic controller”
you obviously haven’t played metroid on the Wii, when done right the motion / pointing control method is vastly superior to analog controls… vastly

yo i am really really really looking forward to this playstation move but if it like 100$ or more im sorry but i would rather buy 2 games instead of that and i dont know why people are saying this is alot like the wii… well this is to you people that think that, does the wii have HD/blurey? does the wii have games that are for adults? the wii is for 10 years and younger if you ask me, however in some cases it does have a similarity like to nunchuk thing and the substitute controler… yea thats all??? and does the will let you spin around no!!!! in wii sports boxing it just you being retarded and moving right and then it goes left like a glitch..

I’m glad someone finally took the advice of Johnny Lee Chung to take motion tracking to a whole new level with the capability to dodge bullets. Not sure what to expect yet, but I’m happy someone is listening to that brilliant man whether they know it or not.
