With the looming launch of the PS3, it's always fun to get a reaction from the front-liners on the other side. Peter Moore sat down with Eurogamer the other day and spilled his thoughts on Sony and their new controller."At Microsoft we did the same controller six years ago ... The gamers' response was muted at best," he said. He went on to speak about how the applications for such a controller were fairly narrow. And with the sacrifice of the force feedback, there's a strong argument that the PS3 controller will have lost much of its allure. Regardless, the gamers will be the ones who decide what works and what doesn't come November.
Mr. Moore's comment about the price point summed it up: "I can only imagine what's going on back home for 599 Euros for what looks to me like a platform that's on a par at best with some of the software we're showing."
1. To me, Peter moore seems like a very down-to-earth person, the same of which cannot be said about Sony's Ken Kutigari.
I agree with Moore's assesment of the immersion tech in the ps3. Since I'll be getting the wii, I don't believe I'll be looking for that alot in the ps3.
Expecially when it comes at the cost of losing rumble tech (according to sony). I personally like the rumble-it adds to the gameplay. Playing a game without rumble seems archaic.
