Tiger Woods to take advantage of MotionPlus next year
Posted on July 29, 2008 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii
Admittedly, Tiger Woods 09 All-Play is turning out to be a very great experience for golf fanatics. The game has nearly all of the qualities of a perfect golf game, albeit 100% precise controls. Precision is something EA is aiming to fix in next year’s iteration, with Wii MotionPlus. In an interview with VideoGamer, EA’s Greg Rinaldi divulged plans that partially explains the new peripheral’s role in future Tiger games. “Twisting the controller in 3D space, we can read some of that, but it’s a lot of software trickery for us to do that. We spent a lot of time on that because it’s not in the hardware. The current hardware is focused mainly on velocity and speed. So what the MotionPlus does is actually allow you to get that 3D positional data. Adding that to something like Tiger next year, which is something we’re 100% on board with, we’re hoping that people get the add-on, because it allows us to get as close to a realistic golf swing as possible on commercial hardware like this.”
