Sony Exec: DualShock 4 Is "Not A Move Controller"

Posted on Monday, February 25 @ 09:30:00 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Sony appears to have taken the kitchen sink approach with its latest version of the DualShock, but believe it or not, that glowing blue light on the PS4's controller is not meant to replace the Move.

Speaking to OPM, VP of Sony Worldwide Studios Michael Denny explained:

It's not a Move controller because the Move controller is different and will be compatible with PlayStation 4 and the new camera. The feature your talking about is the light bar and how that may interact with the camera.

Obviously the new 3D stereo camera and HD feed [will] be a lot better with AR aspects, and it can track the light source clearly in 3D so there are going to be features possible in a motion sense there. And obviously the DualShock 4 has improved SixAxis motion sensing so motion gaming is possible with the new controller.

Hooray, Sixaxis! Please excuse me while I go throw up.

    Not sure Heavy Rain makes an entirely good case for the functionality either.

    As more and more info comes out....it seems like SONY has learned its lesson from the PS3 and wants to come out and dominate this time around. And they might!

    When I first saw this feature at the presentation, I imagined the PS detecting where people were sitting in the room & placing multiplayer split screens appropriately. They also said it changes colour to more easily signify which player is which, I'm pretty sure I saw the controller shining green during one part of the presentation.
