Aragorn's Quest gets PS3 mocon support News

PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

11 March, 2010

Warner Bros. has announced that The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest will include features specifically designed for the PlayStation Move motion controller.

Due out this autumn on DS, PS2, PS3, PSP and Wii, the game is promising "gameplay created especially for the PlayStation 3 system", specifically in combat.

There's also a two-player motion-controlled co-op mode featuring Gandalf for both Wii and PS3, although there are no more details on that.

TT Fusion is developing the DS, PS2, PS3 and PSP versions while Headstrong Games handles the Wii release.

With some commentators already describing the PS Move (enthusiastically, too) as a kind of "Wii HD", it's certainly interesting that one of the first third-party support announcements is sharing motion modes across the PS3 and Wii versions.

Just from a "that seems a bit odd" POV, why no 360 version? PS2 doesn't have "mocon" support either. Is it just that the PS2 can share art assets with the Wii, and the PS3 can share controller support?

I dunno.

I'm buying this and the mo-con purely so I can triumphantly shout "I'm shoving the blade of Narsil up your arse-sil fell being!" Every time I kill a goblin.

*hangs head in shame at obscure LOTR reference*

Sucker for LOTR games so if I spring for the camera+wand bundle this will definitely be one of the games I buy.

when this article mentions that Headstrong games is 'handling the wii version' it is doing Headstrong a massive injustice as they built the game from the ground up on wii.

Was going to say something about eyetoy and Natal but thought fuck it, what's the point in making desperate people angry?

Neg me, partisan enthusiasts!
