Sixaxis tilt control is “useless,” according to the producer of forthcoming PS3 Naruto exclusive, Ultimate Ninja Storm.
Speaking to GAMER at last week’s Games Convention, producer Hitoshi Matsuyama confirmed that Ultimate Ninja Storm won’t support Trophies, before nonchalantly dismissing Sony’s motion sensing control system.
“We’re not supporting Trophies,” Matsuyama said through his translator.
“And before you ask, we’re not supporting Sixaxis. It’s useless,” he added.
He then proceeded to wave the controller about in a jocular manner, to highlight the unsuitability of motion sensing control for the game.
Admittedly, with a lot of Ultimate Ninja Storm’s gameplay being platform and beat-’em-up based – traditionally, genres that require very precise inputs – we weren’t surprised to hear that it won’t be supporting tilt functionality.
On the plus side though, we’re glad to report that the PS3 exclusive title is shaping up rather well.
Not only does it look decent (both technically and stylistically), the blend of action-adventure and beat-’em-up gameplay looks like it should work a treat as well – especially with it featuring some huge boss battles.
Keep an eye out for some proper first impressions in the coming days.
