As we've already reported, the PlayStation's motion controller has been fully revealed at Sony's GDC press conference.It's called Move, comes with a nunchuk device, and there are more than a few games coming out for it. Hitting later this year, the peripheral will see its fair share of sports games,
SOCOM - and even a Wii port. More on that later.
Click the image over there to see the first images of the Move, plus wireless nunchuk-esque attachment. According to
Kotaku, the spheres on top of the main controller change colour depending on game mood, lighting and the colour situation in your room. In playing
SOCOM, when detecting no orange in the player's room, the sphere will engage its three built-in LEDs and produce an orange colour to better stand out.
Technical specs detail the Move Controller as having a three-axis gyroscope and a three-acis accelerometer, coupled with a terrestrial magnetic field sensor. Its exact position is tracked by use of the PlayStation Eye. The 'nunchuk' - officially known as the 'Sub Controller' comes with an analogue stick and directional buttons, but no motion sensing technology.
Both controllers don't use AA batteries compared to Nintendo's Wii Remote - instead, a lithium-ion battery contained in both can be charged in the same way as a regular DualShock 3 controller, using a mini-USB cable.
