GDC 10: Sony Pulls Curtain Back on Motion-Controlled SOCOM 4

If you didn't tune into the  Sony GDC Press Conference, you  missed out on some big live announcements. Aside from the big news regarding PlayStation Move, Sony unveiled a first gameplay look at SOCOM: US Navy SEALs 4, which will support motion controls. Just six days ago, the game was announced for this fall, and the publisher is poised to quickly capitalize on the news. Check out the new SOCOM and Motion Fighters in action in this video:

    Not very impressed... Looks laggy and inaccurate.

    It looked crappy as hell. I really wonder how they expect to be competitive when the only thing they show looks like a Wii with sparkles.

    I have to say, it's kinda pointless to have motion control if you just sit there like you do with a regular controller. Actually it is just plain inferior to using a regular controller since you have lost some percision and gained no immersion.

    Lol....now I must admit that this is a cool concept and all, and it looks really good, but I must ask...what is the point of making a motion controller if you are going to sit in the chair and play it....Socom looks good, but I would be more impressed if it actually took some action to play it....I must say I'm a but underwhelmed by it....can't wait to see what natal actually has to offer....

    it would be really cool if Move came bundle with the sidekick, and it would be really cool if it had the rumble feature!

    Ultimately I love playing games with a controller.

    I hope they don't force this motion controller nonsense on me.

    I guess if you like fighting games one will have to buy the PS3 eye and two Move controllers

    Wasn't interested until they showed the SOCOM 4 demo... Now I can say, I am interested.

    The Socom game really looks promising. I love what I see so far in the single player demo. Now lets talks about co-op. I mean all the years I known socom there was never any real co-op and I believe it is time to introduce some kind of co-op multi player with the new move controller. Now let me get my confrontation skills back up. May have to put MW2 down for a while....probably pick it back up for the new maps.

    Does anyone know how much the motion controller will cost including the ps3 webcam thing and the nunchuck

    The guy playing SOCOM used the Move like a regular controller, no motion at all. Its like saying you can use the BUZZ remotes for games like Scene It and Trivial Pursuit.

    Can't wait. Use to long for a game with light gun tech combined with a joystick. Almost bought a Wii. Glad I stuck with my PS3. Bundled with the eye, sounds pretty good, but have a feeling we're going to get banged on the extra controller/sub controller (nunchuk?)

    I was so glad to see a hardcore game like this being used with Move. Even more I has thrilled to see the addition of the sub-controller. It would have been a serious fail if move didn't have an analog stick. Can't wait to see the kinds of games that come out for Move in coming months once developers have had more time with it.

    As soon as I get my Playstation Move Bundle I'm going to buy Socom 4, Motion Fighting and Sports Champions. Looks AWESOME!

    It didn't really look like motion control was all that necessary for Socom, not saying it's a bad thing to have but for now it looks a little like a novelty. I guess we'll find out once the game touches down along with PSM, which I do in fact have very high hopes for.
