MotoGP dev keen on Natal head tracking, 3DTV
Speaking to CVG, MotoGP lead designer Greg Bryant discussed the future of the series on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. Bryant said the development team plans to incorporate Natal support into MotoGP 10/11 in order to implement head tracking. According to Bryant, "the future for [Natal] is through head tracking in racing games." As for future iterations on the PS3, he noted that the team plans to use stereoscopic 3D and "theoretically" enable head tracking with the Playstation Eye. Honestly, if it turns out anything like this, consider us stoked.
Capcom buys rights to MotoGP franchise
Word on the internet street is that our corporate pals over at Capcom have gobbled up the rights to the MotoGP franchise for the next five years. This new franchise agreement will have Capcom releasing a new MotoGP game based on the 2008 season that should makes its way across all consoles (even cell phones) including the Xbox 360. We believe this to be pretty dandy good news for MotoGP fans as we'll see a re-vitalization of sorts, but we have to fear that Capcom may alter whatever recipe MotoGP has followed in years previous. Oh, and the fact that they already have plans to whore the franchise out across every single platform known to man worries us just a touch.[Via Xboxic, Thanks Jonah Falcon]
PSP price drop extends to Europe on May 4th
The price of a PSP in Europe is set to be violently assaulted with a sharp object next month, when Sony plans to slash at it wildly in the hopes of trimming a few pounds. And Euros, obviously, but as with the US price drop earlier this month, that particular currency simply doesn't suit the rapid weight loss imagery we're going for.A report on GamesIndustry.Biz indicates that the retail price of the PlayStation puny will drop by £20 in the UK to £129.99 on 4 May. The rest of the continent will pay €169.99 following a drop of €30. The change in price will be accompanied by a cheaper £14.99 tag for Platinum titles, with Ridge Racer 2, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Killzone: Liberation, LocoRoco and Moto GP all being included in the range and fighting against the argument that the system doesn't have any games.
