As for PlayStation 3’s motion controller, ‘Arc’, he’s ”seen the technology working” and it’s going to be a ”great complement” with Sony.
”Sony will put their collective technology and marketing might behind it,” said Moore on the ‘Arc’, in an interview with CVG. ”I’ve seen the technology working. I think it’s going to be a great complement to what’s out there.”
”It’s a different experience than Wii and we’re watching it with great interest. As you might imagine, we’re working on stuff - in particular on what sports can bring to it.”
”The two that stand out in terms of authentic sports motion on Wii are golf and tennis. If you can capture that motion, that brings the game to life in a very unique way. We’re looking at how we bring that sports credibility and authenticity to life with Sony’s new platform.”
OnLive is designed to provide a huge catalogue of videogames through a single device, effectively replacing the home console systems. Moore is sceptical right now.
”Anytime anyone as talented as the OnLive team - and I know a number of them - are trying to make breakthrough experiences and grow the industry, I am a huge fan of that,” he said.
”I don’t know about OnLive. That thing has got a scale, but it’s got to prove that five million people want to play the same game. I’m making numbers up, but I don’t want the industry as is to be linked to a singular piece of hardware.”
”But what they’re contemplating and proposing is no mean undertaking. The key of it being proven is when millions of people are connected to the service and a lot of those names want to play the same game.”
Moore adds: ”Like everybody, for me it’s wait and see.”
It’s a good read so why not check out Peter Moore’s interview with CVG? Would you like to see a one gaming device future, or does rivalry make for better videogames?
