Konami 'aggressively' looking into motion control for PES series

Shingo Takatsuka, the progenitor of the long-running
Pro Evolution Soccer series, recently had a few choice words
to share with IGN on the subject of incorporating motion control into the franchise. Though the producer of
that other soccer game has stated his indifference to motion control schemes, Takatsuka explained Konami is highly intrigued by
Project Natal and the heretofore
"officially" unnamed PlayStation Motion Controller -- intrigued to the extent that he's "looking at integrating those devices into our games very aggressively."
As we all know, soccer is the most fatiguing activity any human can participate in, so we expect that a Natal-ized version of
PES would be appropriately taxing. However, given the sport's limited employment of
hands, we'd be curious to see how Sony's motion-sensing peripheral would be utilized. There are few pieces of gaming hardware we'd outright refuse to give a fair shot, but
shoe adapters might just be beyond our capacity for humiliation.
