BioShock Infinite To Boast PS Move Support Out of the Box

Announced back at E3 2011, Irrational Games has been reluctant to discuss PS Move support in the PlayStation 3 version of BioShock Infinite, due to the difficulty in describing how it works exactly. According to BioShock Infinite's Director, Ken Levine, talking about it is like "talking about music".

"Talking about Move support is like talking about music," Levine explained to Eurogamer. "It's hard to do. You've got to put the thing in somebody's hand and say, 'here's our Move support. How does it feel to you?'

"We're definitely going to be doing that at some point. But it's hard to talk about because it's like, 'hey, does it feel good? Does it feel right? Does it break down barriers of interface for you?'

"That's the goal of Move, right? It's to make you forget you're playing with a controller. It's to make that much more transparent. The proof's going to be in the pudding."

Levine also confirmed that PS Move will obviously be an optional control method for BioShock Infinite, and it'll be available out of the box on its launch day, which is October 16th in North America and October 19th in Europe.

Hmm, if it's done well it could be a really cool way to play the game.

Definitely. Im not a huge fan of Move (not because of it per se, but because Im terrible with it lol), but this could make an already interesting game that much better.

The move needs more games designed around it.

Correction, the move needs more games with FEATURES designed around it.

What Levine is doing is great. He's not forcing the move on anyone, like LittleBigPlanet did so you could play the DLC (especially considering the vanilla game had no move support whatsoever), but he is implementing it into his game in a way that would make the move really fun (apparently) if you did own one.

Plus, if it's a really outstanding feature, it may make people want to go out and buy a move.

You've got to put the thing in somebody's hand...

Am I only one laughing at this?

@5: Yes, because most of us are above the age of 12.

Didn't he say motion controls should be kept separate?

And since the Move already looks like a female version of the Fleshlight, its ridiculousness has worn out. ;)

I couldn't agree with Ken Levine more. The only way I can describe the Move to people is by, unfortunately, comparing it to the Wii (which I'm sure every Move owner has done).

@4 I think you said it perfect right there. Move is meant to make your gaming experience better if you have it. It's meant to give you a new way to do things. But most importantly it doesn't have an overbearing presence like Kinect does, making you feel like you need it.

@2: I hear you... I tried Tiger Woods PGA Tour '11 with it and went from easily taking tournament victories to shooting, like, 24 over par, lol. I play video game golf because I can't play real golf!
