Project Natal and Sony’s motion wand has been on the minds of EA Sports developers for a while now says boss Peter Moore, it’ll impact them ”very positively.”
The sports label saw both companies motion-control gizmos ”several months ago,” and so they’ve had ample time ”looking at opportunities” for EA titles. Boxing would be ”very very cool.”
”I think they are going to impact us very positively,” Moore told Gamasutra. ”Anything that uses motion and movement – obviously sports is incredibly a part of that.”
”We have seen both Natal and the motion controller from Sony several months ago, so we’re already, in both instances, looking at opportunities to bring our licensed product and our fitness product, to these new controller mechanisms.”
”I can’t think about anybody better positioned than us to do that,” boasted the boss. The marriage of physical movement and sports titles is music to EA, and Moore can’t wait to start toying with it.
”So you think of Fight Night: Round 4, for example, if it were in a first-person mode it would be very very cool. So those are the things we’re starting to look at. Huge opportunity for us.”
