Developer Naughty Dog has revealed that the firm has no intention of creating an Uncharted-style game for use with the PlayStation 3’s upcoming motion sensing peripheral.
Speaking with G4TV, co-founder Evan Wells commented, "We really don’t have any interest in using the motion control to do a third-person action game. 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.”
Still, that’s not to say Wells dislikes the Wii – far from it. Apparently, the ubiquitous console is one of the most played platforms in the house, especially when it comes to Wii Sports.
"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 [laughs], but Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are some of the best experiences of this generation – honestly. They’re immensely playable and competitive, and just great fun with a group of people in the same room,” he added.
Wells also reckons that a lot of PlayStation owners are closet Wii fans, and feels there is more than enough appeal for motion sensing shenanigans on a Sony platform:
“Yeah, I think the PlayStation audience is totally for it," he continued. "In fact, I bet you there are lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community. If there is some really good software for that motion controller, I think it can be a big, big success."
