The developer behind Brunswick Pro Bowling has touched on the subject of PlayStation Move, stating that the upcoming peripheral opens up Sony’s PlayStation 3 to a whole new range of genres.
Speaking in a fresh development diary entry, Farsight boss Jay Obernolte commented, “It opens up the PS3 to a whole new collection of game genres that really were not workable on it before.”
Obernolte also compared the experience of bowling utilizing the Wii Remote to that of what Move offers, pointing out that Sony’s device comes out on top in terms of versatility: “The experience of bowling is totally different in an optical motion mechanic than in the motion mechanic of the PS3 Motion Controller, because when you bowl, you bring your arm back on the back-swing, and how you tilt your wrist during the forward swing of your arm has a lot to do with where the ball’s going to go in the lane.”
“The amount of hook it gets and the direction of the ball when it leaves your hand are very difficult to get out of an optical mechanic.”
PlayStation Move is currently pencilled in for release this fall. Expect more on the new device at E3 in June.
