Whether you are intending to run out and grab PlayStation Move at launch, wait for that ‘killer app’, or are not at all interested in motion control in your games, you have to admit that the constant stream of tech demos being shown for the controller at various events are pretty exciting and inventive.
This time around, we’ve got a different variation on the ragdoll demos you might have seen before, as well as some pretty unique implementations of the technology. The video below, from DualShockers and recorded at Sony’s holiday showcase earlier this month, features Anton Mikhailov, a very impressed presenter, and a whole bunch of fun with Move.
Whilst the ragdoll-dismemberment demonstration shows off the precision of the system, and the RTS demo shows how Move is bringing a whole new control method to PS3, it’s the Chameleon demo that is the most impressive of the bunch.
There’s obviously no mention of it ever turning up in a game (although using it to climb in some kind of Move-enabled Uncharted would be awesome), but it shows that the team behind the technology are really thinking outside of the box when it comes to potential uses – hopefully this shows in future titles coming from Sony’s internal teams as well as third-party studios.

Bring on the dual move I say. I’ll use my dual shock as nav controller and wield 2 move controllers whenever I can! It’s a good time to be a sony fanboy! Bring on the beta rooms.

it may be wii with extra big balls but it seems so much more suited to gaming than MS’s offering – ok, I can see what what MS are getting at but not sure how its going to take gaming forward. Yes, I can also see that Move is a vast improvement on the Wii tech but it does seem to be more accurate and immersive.

Although I am quite interested in Move, the news that only the ‘Gold Edition’ of RE5 will be getting Move support, leaving my CE steelbook, verses mode, Lost in Nightmares & Desperate Escape DLC obsolete has totally pissed me off.

That sucks, really bad.
Loyal early adopters shafted!

I love the C&C style game

WOW
These tech demos always look amazing, far more amazing than the way devs are using the tech in games, especially the RTS, chameleon and the fire ball.
Slightly worried that all these tech demos feature a completely different camera to the one Sony sold me a few years ago, hopefully there’s not a PSEye2 on the horizon, as my PSEye has only been used for stopping a small amount of dust falling in a small space on top of my TV
