So i was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye i saw a pretty lil' sorry.

As i was saying - i was walking down the street and musing on how a 3D platformer genre could be reinvented. But this isn't going about to be 3D platformers, because i've had a much more specific idea in the process. You, the reader, may or may not know that Sony's new motion controller, Move, is very precise, some even say it's "1-to-1 precise". I've thought up a gameplay concept that could make great use of this.

Imagine a game where you are playing as a powerful telekinetic. Maybe your character is the latest attempt in the creation of supersoldier. He could be loyal to his initial creators, or rebel against them, or both throughout the storyline - it does not really matter. You don't need any guns in this game - your powers are more than sufficent to deflect clouds of bullets and wipe out entire platoons of enemies. With motion controls you can create shockwaves in any direction, throw stuff at enemies, grab them and smack them into nearby walls, and so on. And there's an advanced animation/physics engine (like GTA4's Euphoria) responsible for the realistic behavior of objects you abuse in various ways.

So what do you think, Escapists? Would you play that?

[small]And oh... for some inexplicable reason, i find "No Rest For The Wicked" and it's music video quite funny. Perhaps it's the accent. Or the fact that the singer is walking funny every now and then.[/small]

So, basically you're asking for a Wii port of Second Sight, ported to the PS3?

Sounds good, the only problem is wheres your weakness? If you can swat away bullets and throw people around, wheres the challenge?

I hope you don't say it's a limited amount of psychic power, that recharges 'cos it's a bit weak, isn't it? unless you can use your abilities constantly but after throwing your 10th heavy object in a row, you struggle to lift it and can't throw it as far.

Anyway, it's a nice idea. Don't know how like other games it is but it's good.

No, i'm asking for a PS3 port of Second Sight adapted for precise motion controls... or something like that.

I didn't know Second Sight had a Wii version untill now.

The challenge would mainly be in taking out all enemies attacking you from different angles, i imagine. It's not as fast to kill someone with TK as it is with a gun, so players would have to get imaginative.

Yes, but you know it's going to be swamped by fishing simulators and bowling games.

Still, it sounds good.

Not to be all "ARGH MOVE IS CRAP NATAL FTW ARGBLARGBLARG", but this'd also be quite cool for Natal, cause you could be all swishy with your hands and you could be all Jedi about it. But the concept is pretty good =)

My thoughts exactly...
Sounds kinda like the Force Unleashed x eye toy. ;P
Ya, it pretty much sounds exactly like the Force Unleashed for the Wii, besides the deflecting bullet parts...unless you meant deflecting them with a weapon on not your "force" powers

Yeah this would be the sort of game I'd hope they make for Natal Wave and Move as using guns just wouldn't really work as well - especially with the Wave.

could be applied to a more Japanese-style magic game, tracing symbols in the air to cast spells, kinda Full Metal Alchemist style :D
