Sony: Move better than a mouse for RTS games
Makes you feel like a god...
The man that designed Sony's new Move controller, Dr Richard Marks has said that Move has the potential to best even the mouse and keyboard for RTS games.
Marks explained the benefits of Move to CVG in an interview saying "I think the Move can work with the more general idea of an RTS really well."
He continued: "It could play a PC RTS really well, but I think there is modifications on the RTS genre that will be really good with. I play a lot of RTS games but the way I think about it is you have a landscape below you with all the troops, and imagine you're the general and you just want to look out over your troops and select guys - tell them to attack there."
"I think that with Move would feel way better than a mouse for that," he added," for example, and doing things that require some 3D information is much better with Move. The RTS genre has been designed not to require any 3D information, but having that extra dimension and all the angle data that we have too is also very interesting."
Marks' theories will be put to the test by Ubisoft's RUSE. It will launch with full Move support on the PS3 next month.
