No I didn't play it, so I could be wrong. But I highly doubt it.
I'm a software developer who works in 3D graphic applications. From the video, the game appears to be able to identify a person(It may use motion detection here, but more similar to motion detecting lights you can buy at the hardware store), then it defines the person in a separate image, then searches for a point in the image (ie an arm, leg, guitar). If it identifies a point, that would be a 'punch'.
Don't get me wrong, that's not a simple feat, but leaves for very simplistic game play.
If it were really motion tracking your body, it wouldn't be a PSN game, but a full retail game.
My two cents, feel free to disagree. But I won't be buying it.
Looks like it would be fun for a few hours, but it would get boring quickly.
The trailer looks misleading to me. It implies body tracking, but the game seems to use the same tech as 'You're in the Movies' did. I don't there's any motion tracking at all. Just superimposing an image (or video).
They're releasing this game for some of the Sony fanboys who hate Kinect so much, they're willing to throw their money away to prove their loyalty. Smart move on Sony's part.
BF 1943 is great game, but the lag makes it practically unplayable now (even though I have a fast connection). I regret buying the game during the holiday deals because I can't play it anymore.
My favorite scene is when he's eating the apple, talking about being civilized and in the background you just hear screams from people being killed...classic.
