PlayStation Move Motion Controller and PlayStation Eye
------------------------------------------------------
Equipped with a three axis gyro, a three axis accelerometer
and terrestrial magnetic field sensor, the PlayStation Move
motion controller registers the precise movements of the player,
while the PlayStation Eye camera peripheral, ed at the player
and his/her controller, allows the PS3 system to translate this
into usable 3D oriented data. This can then be used to accurately
and nearly instantly recreate the player's physical movements
in-game. The PlayStation Move motion controller also features the
familiar PlayStation controller button orientation, for seamless
play within the faerie realm of Sorcery from the very first use.
Gameplay
--------
The third-person oriented Action RPG gameplay of Sorcery
utilizes the PlayStation Move motion controller/PlayStation Eye
camera peripheral, as well as supports the optional PlayStation
Move navigational controller for ease of movement. The Move
motion controller serves in-game as the player's wand. As players
tackle the host of enemies, large and small, as well as spatial
challenges throughout the game levels they will use their wand to
access and apply spells and potions collected, earned or
purchased in-game. Spells and potions are easily accessed through
the Motion controller's traditional PlayStation button array, and
are unleashed with a simple flick of the wrist. The sensitivity
of the Move motion controller allows for both trajectory of the
spell, as well intensity of impact. Spells range from blunt
force, ice and fire based varieties, to those allowing for the
explosive charging of areas, the creation of a whirlwind that
will sweep up enemies and a mend spell that is used to repair
destroyed areas. Spells can also be used in conjunction with each
other to best particularly difficult enemies and situations.
Balancing this ability are potions, which allow for temporary
abilities and even physical transformation of the hero in order
to reach areas otherwise inaccessible. Together these hardware
and gameplay features create a one-to-one gameplay experience and
total sense of immersion unlike anything RPG players have yet
seen.
