Developers might be shanking their own grandmothers right now for a chance to hop aboard the motion control gravy train, but Uncharted developer Naughty Dog isn't so keen, at least for its flagship franchise. If you were hoping to bring a little waggle into Nathan Drake's life, you'll be waiting for quite some time.
"We really don’t have any interest in using the motion control to do a third-person action game," says Naughty Dog boss Evan Wells. "If we were going to make a motion controller game, we’d want to tackle it from the bottom up and make sure that we were designing the game around the motion control, the way the best Wii games are designed.
"I’m not a Wii hater at all, in fact, it’s probably one of my most played consoles in the house. I have a 3-year-old son which might account for some of that, but Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are some of the best experiences of this generation, honestly ... I think the PlayStation audience is totally for it. In fact, I bet you there are lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community."
As a member of the PlayStation audience, I can't say I'm personally up for having Wii games on my PS3, but what about you? Looking forward to Carnival Games HD?

Oh, how witty.
And I'm all for multiplatform games. This "My console has more exclusives than yours!" bullshit is for retarded people.
Also, I never mentioned motion controls.
The sixasis controlled granade throwings in Drake Fortune was annoying enough. On the other hand i did like shaking the controller to shake off the vampyre mutant spaniards
I sure as hell hope he is being facetious.

OH GOD.

As good as RE4 wii was, the combat is slow and precise anyways. It really caters to sitting there and pointing at your screen. Uncharted is a much faster paced experience and I think aside from dieing a lot more than you already would, it would just kill the pacing and "immersion".
Though sorry for that word picture.
Sony must be forcing this stuff. They just have to be. Because that was no coincidence the Wii reference coming up. That was an indirect hype for the wand...which just you watch, Naughty Dog will have some game that launches with it. Because that was way too obvious to me.
I think he simply meant the pointer style controls would be a cool option, not to be confused with the controller tilt sixaxis stuff
@bruceleethree
You are neither funny nor witty.
That said, if it meant getting headshots to actually register in either game by having an accurate reticle/targeting system, I'd be all for it.
You know you can play all of RE4 on the Wii with a GameCube controller, right? It'll have the same exact controls as the GameCube version, too, but as you stated, with all the extras of the PS2 version.
Personally, I LOVED the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls in the Wii version, though.
I know, right? What better way for Sony to hype up their product than by using their loyal puppets - ya know, the same loyal puppets that thanked Bungie for inspiration with Uncharted 2 - to praise a competitor's console?
I bet 59.99 that Naughty dog will use the glowing orb thing in some forms or another.
