Dead Space: Extraction won’t use MotionPlus after all
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Contrary to reports that surfaced yesterday, Dead Space: Extraction will not take advantage of Wii MotionPlus. EA COO John Pleasants did speak about MotionPlus on Thursday at the the 2009 Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, but the discussion was mainly about EA Tennis and Tiger Woods. A representative from the company confirmed that Mr. Pleasants comments were misinterpreted. This news shouldn’t be all too surprising though because frankly, Extraction doesn’t seem to be the type of game that would truly benefit from the MotionPlus technology.

Tiger Woods and Grand Slam Tennis will release regardless of when MotionPlus becomes available

“‘Tiger’ and ‘Tennis’ will be compatible, but not dependent, on WMP. They will ship with the functionality, regardless of when WMP comes to market.” – EA Sports pr chief David Tinson
In this case, I don’t really think EA should have to wait for Nintendo to release Wii MotionPlus in order to get their products out. It’s also smart of EA to make the peripheral optional, not mandatory to play. However, I am wondering what the heck is going on with the MotionPlus…

Konami unveils new game trailer and details of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 for Wii

Enhanced AI, Improved Control and Added Game Modes Announced for the Wii version of the Next Addition to the PES Franchise
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today revealed a new game trailer and details of Pro Evolution Soccer™ 2009 (PES 2009) for Wii™ scheduled to be released on March 17th, 2009. The new game builds on the innovative control system pioneered by its predecessor, with PES 2009 adding a wide range of new control and content elements which will affirm its title as the definitive football title for the Nintendo console.
PES 2009 for Wii boasts three control methods, with the intuitive ‘point and drag’ interface of last year’s game enhanced to make defending and shooting more instinctive. Players use the Nunchuck or the Wii Remote to control the player on the ball, while they pick the player to pass to, or send them on runs into space. The system has been further refined, so that close control is improved, but two new control ideas have also been implemented.
