Under Siege bumped to Spring 2010, adds motion controller support

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.

First game fully developed in Portugal for the PS3!

nifty, i hope more games do this!

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.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

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
