Hot on the heels of the Natal developer news is a list of the games the Playstation 3 motion control will be rolling out next year. This is on top of news that Resident Evil 5 will be getting a Directors Cut edition with integrated motion controls and Little Big Planet will also be re-released withmotion controls. Glad I didn't fork over my cash for Resident Evil 5 now!

The tentative list unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show are: (drum roll)

Ape Escape (Working Title)
Echochrome 2 (Working Title)
Eccentric Slider (Working Title)
Sing and Draw (Working Title)
Champions of Time (Working Title)
Motion Party (Working Title)
The Shoot (Working Title)
Tower (Working Title)

 

A couple of current games including Flower, PAIN and the upcoming cuteness simulator EyePet will have motion control implemented into the game through a PSN update, hmm (steeples fingers) interesting.

I might sound like a terrible Xbox 360 fanboy, and given I'm clutching my ODST collectors edition box with the limited edition controller as I type this that might me right, but if you can download the software for motion controls over the PSN, well it doesn't sound any where near as robust an interface as Natal is to the 360. It sounds more like an expansion of the Sixaxis controls, or at least thats what PAIN and Flower are going to get.

But at least we're hearing about games and these are only the first party titles so far. I'm keeping my ear to the ground for some juicer announcements out of TGS.
