Sony’s new motion controller compatible with existing PS3 games
Sony’s E3 presention of its new Playstation Motion Control was nothing short of spectacular; being able to track a user’s movement in real-time holds endless possibilites for new games. But waht about existing PS3 games? Will they be left in the dust?
Well according to SCEA President, Jack Tretton, using the new controller with old games is definitly possible:
Personally, it’s very difficult for me to perceive God of War 3 being played with the Wii controller, it’s a different experience that doesn’t lend itself to certain types of games. [But] I think our [motion] controller can be used with every game that’s on the system now – and every game we’re working on.
Well Mr. Tretton, we’ll have to see it before we believe it. Let’s just hope they tweak the look of the controller before it hits the market cause in it’s current state it looks a bit ridiculous.

I sure hope that Uncharted 3, MMOs (PS3 Exclusive Ones), Ratchet & Clank Future (the one after a crack in time), assassin’s creed 3 & god of war 4 will all be compatible with this baby, this tech on the ps3 will smack the wii off their golden F50s onto the water with flyin sandals!!!
