Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells: Motion controls will ‘live alongside’ conventional games

With this week’s release of Uncharted 2 , Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells is likely finding it difficult to catch his breath while being buried in praise — praise which is most certainly deserved . In an interview with VG247 , Wells offers his opinion on the impact of motion controls on the future of gaming and he even rolls his sleeves up and wades into the console wars, addressing the always present question of platform superiority. In regards to motion controls, Wells doesn’t expect the new tech promised to “supplant the traditional gaming controller any time in the near future,” citing that there are just too many games that benefit from traditional controllers. He says these games “would lose something significant” when redesigned for a motion control experience, painting a picture of a future where these new motion-based titles are offered next to more traditional experiences. As for comments that Uncharted 2 could never work on the Xbox 360 , Wells stresses that a platform does not dictate a game’s worth and “the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.” He says that great “programmers and great artists are going to make a great game” and we all know Uncharted 2 certainly had both in spades.

After five years in the making and hardly any time taken out for interviews or status updates, you’d imagine Digi-Guys’ WarDevil would be just about wrapped up and ready to grab some GOTY awards, right? Not so much, as Edge discovered during a studio tour.

With the announcement last week of Last.fm for Xbox 360, we couldn’t help but wonder if Pandora was going to show up to the party. The other radio program of the tubes has become an internet darling, but first we wanted to find out if Pandora was even interested in getting it on with our console, like it already does with our computers, mobile devices and other home electronics. “We’d love to include game consoles like the Xbox 360 as part of this story at Pandora,” Jessica Steel, SVP of Business Development at Pandora told Joystiq.
