John McLaughlin, producer on the new PlayStation Move brawler The Fight: Lights Out, has released a Developer Diary Video talking about the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive. The game is currently in alpha state but the developers have done a good job in conducted a ton of motion capture to ensure that every punch, every hit reaction, every dirty move and every hard-hitting knockout makes the player feel right in the thick of the action.
The Sony Motion Controller was named at the Game Developers Conference 2010 in San Francisco, back in March 2010, but the accompanying controller was not.

The PlayStation Move was recently shown off at an event in Seattle, and some interesting information about the SOCOM 4 was revealed.

According to European gaming magazine Chief, which is out next week in the Netherlands and Belgium, a number of titles have been confirmed to support PlayStation Move by Sony.

The PlayStation Move has been slated for a Fall 2010 release and the first advert has been released to spread the word. The first advert (which you can see below) makes fun of the Nintendo Wiimote for having basic motion sensing capabilities and also Microsoft’s Natal for lack of buttons. In Kevin Butler’s own words, “Who wants to pretend their hand is a gun? What is this? 3rd grade?”
Now that the Motion Controller has been finally given a name, Sony has also released the first high-res images of the controller itself (see below). The controller will be available to purchase as a stand-alone product or as part of a bundle, either consisting of a game, the PS3 console or the PlayStation Eye camera. Sony is looking to price a bundle consisting of a Move controller, Eye camera and game all under $100.
