PS3 Wands Coming to PES?


More news coming out of another interview with Seabass!

This time he's confirmed to IGN that motion controllers such as Natal and PlayStation 3's motion wands will be incorporated in future instalments of the game. With the success of the Wii version, it will certainly be interesting to see how these technologies could be applied to the main PES games in the next few years.

“Pro Evolution Soccer mastermind Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka has confirmed to IGN that motion controllers such as Natal and PlayStation 3's motion wands will be incorporated in future instalments of the game. Speaking at the European Championships in Nice, Seabass said, "Up until 2009 we believed all the platforms should have the same controls and features. That's no longer the case, because there are specific controllers for different machines, what with Natal and the PlayStation motion sensor system. I cannot say much, but I can say we are looking at integrating those devices into our games very aggressively."

Although he refused to talk specifics, it's apparent the addition of more inclusive control methods is just one step Konami is taking to ensure Pro Evo appeals to the broadest possible audience, with the development team also listening to existing PES players to continually refine the experience. Indeed, Seabass revealed that many of PES 2010's new features – 360-degree control, the tactics sliders and ability cards – came about as a result of player feedback, and that they had a lot of ideas already in progress for next year's game.

But will new features for PES 2011 include next-gen motion control? It's certainly not out of the question, but quite how Natal et al will be implemented into a game with such a traditional control scheme remains to be seen.”

Whether PES will ever have Natal is debatable due to the control needed in a football game, and the relatively new technology that these motion controllers are, but it will be intriguing to see how Konami would accomplish it.
