Under Siege bumped to Spring 2010, adds motion controller support

by Griffin McElroy { Sep 24th 2009 at 1:51PM }

Apparently, Seed Studios was intrigued by the PlayStation Motion Controller demo that was shown off during E3 -- particularly the part that showed how the peripheral could be used in a real-time strategy game. The developer recently announced that the release of its upcoming PSN strategy title Under Siege had been bumped to Spring 2010 in order to incorporate the sphere-tipped device into the game's control scheme.

Seed will also be working to add a few more features to the game before its dealyed launch, including a replay editor, photo mode, and picture-in-picture video chat. That last part is unfortunate -- as with all methods of motion control, we don't really want to circulate footage of us flailing about with a colorful wand grasped in our oafish claws.

I wonder how that'll pan out.

Also, in PMC related news, I hope the update for PMC support in RE 5 isn't limited to the Director's Cut. That would be lame-o.

I'll definitely check this out when it's released. I like the idea of trying motion control in an RTS. Red Alert on PS3 was good, but I think motion control will be even quicker and easier as an interface.

Under Siege huh? Well I thought they were making a Steven Segal game @ first.

wow i'm excited about this. strategy games with the controller is fun, but not quite as fast paced as it is with a pointer/mouse type device.

The visuals look solid on this.. if they integrate the motion controls well this could be the breakthrough of great RTS on consoles!!! We'll have to see

There is not enough info on this game. It looks(cosmetically) great.
