Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing
8 hours 43 mins ago
In2Games has released a teaser site showing off the first details on its plans for making next-gen motion controlled games, a la the Wii.
The first game planned is called Squeeballs, and will coincide with the company's Gametrak Freedom motion-sensing controller, which looks like a cross between the Wiimote, a universal remote, and the Dualshock 3.
Though it won't say which, the company has confirmed the controller will be coming out for next-gen consoles. Of course, this doesn't really make a lot of sense, since there are only two consoles (and the plural 'consoles' indicating more than one) that could support it that don't already come included with such a device, but I digress.
In2Games is not yet able to confirm if the game will be developed for Xbox 360 and/or Sony's PlayStation 3, but has confirmed that it is launching for next gen consoles soon.
"All we can say is that it is coming out for next generation consoles," an In2Games rep told TechRadar today, when we contacted them about the teaser site.
"We will be revealing further details on Squeeballs and Gametrak Freedom in due course," the rep added.
Gametrak Freedom (formerly codenamed 'Fusion') is described on In2Games' own website as "a brand-new control system for next-generation games systems....the most advanced motion gaming system ever created!"
The technology developed at In2Games for Gametrak Freedom combines ultrasonic and RF technologies with 3-axis accelerometers.
This basically means that you can track the exact position and orientation in 3D space of the Freedom controller.
