GDC: Sony shows off Motion Fighter game concept photo

A pre-alpha title called Motion Fighter used Sony's PlayStation Move motion-sensing controllers to facilitate one-on-one street fighting at their GDC press conference this afternoon. 

A demonstration we watched had a person swinging his fists -- both loaded with a Move controller -- to beat down an on-screen thug. The motions looked to be on a 1:1 basis, with the on-screen fists of his character seeming to connect perfectly in line with his real world movements, but they didn't seem to connect at the expected time. At the end of the presentation, the player took the on-screen enemy into a headlock and hit his head in.

What Sony showed was marked as "pre-alpha," which they estimated as 20 percent finished.

Could be fun. Boxing was always my favorite game in Wii Sports, and this looks like an improvement on that.

This will be the Red Steel of Move's launch.

I think I'd rather it be in a first person perspective.

They already had something like this on the PSX. Granted, it required a mat and the two huge sensors set up, but it was still basic motion control for Tekken 2. Playstation 3: it only does exactly what the first one did?

I agree with Corduroy, first person would be nicer for this.

Those things better be cheap if you need to buy two for a single player game like that, let alone 4 or more for multiplayer.

I'm with Corduroy as well. I normally hate first person perspective, but I don't see how anything else could work here.

I also really, really want somebody to make a decent Fight Club game with this.
