Sony has announced that its upcoming PlayStation motion controller will be named PlayStation Move and launch this autumn alongside "strong support" from first-party titles and games from 36 third-party publishers.
PlayStation 3's motion controller, PlayStation MovePlayStation Move, which you can see in the pictures to your left, uses the PlayStation Eye to track player movement in a 3D space, allowing players to immerse themselves in games that support motion control. Like the existing DualShock 3 controller, Move comes equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery and vibration feedback, while the sphere on the head of the controller changes colour to reflect the action occurring on screen.
A supplementary PlayStation Move 'sub controller' will also be available which effectively replicates the functionality of the Wii's Nunchuk controller, allowing players to navigate a character via the analogue nub.
Players will be able to purchase the Move controller, sub controller and PlayStation Eye together in a single package at launch, with the PS3 able to detect four Move controllers at once, allowing for multiplayer gameplay.
Six first-party titles have been announced, including Slider, a bizarre kung-fu adventure that takes place on an office chair, and The Shoot, a rootin' tootin' western shooter. Sony say that twenty first-party titles will launch within the first financial year, while games from other publishers supporting the controller include this year's Tiger Woods game.
Sony also demoed existing how the motion controller could work in existing IPs, including LittleBigPlanet and EyePet, though whether the games will officially support the controller via a title update is still to be confirmed.
"PlayStation Move motion controller delivers unmatched accuracy through its advanced motion sensors, including a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor, as well as a color-changing sphere that is tracked by PlayStation Eye camera, said Sony.
"Through PlayStation Move system, both fast and subtle motion can be detected, whether the user is swinging a tennis racket, or painting with a brush. "
A price point for PlayStation Move has yet to be announced.
