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.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Could be fun. Boxing was always my favorite game in Wii Sports, and this looks like an improvement on that. 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? 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. 8:00 PM on 04.22.2013 PixelJunk Inc. is a game about soup and friendshipIn case you aren't aware, PixelJunk Inc. looks to be the raddest game ever.
