Epic Sticking With Classic Controllers For Now

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday July 7, 2009 @03:23AM from the no-hand-waving dept.

Cliff Bleszinski, design director for Epic Games, said in an interview with Develop that while motion control schemes like Project Natal look interesting, Epic will probably be sticking with classic controllers "for the foreseeable future." He said, "Microsoft came down a few weeks before E3 and gave us a demo, and they're now shipping out the dev kits; I think it's great. When you start combining the motion-capture, the facial recognition, and the vocal recognition you can create some unique experiences. And of course more accessibility is always a good thing. When you build an interface like that though you need to [specifically] design a game for it. It can't just be tacked on."

If there was money to be made in PC Gaming, they would be doing it. It's not like they're on an anti-PC crusade, or trying to making some kind of point about IP protection, and losing money is of no real concern.
Piracy has killed PC gaming for most developers, it's obvious.
