Sony is under the impression that its forthcoming action RPG Sorcery shows precisely why the PlayStation Move is superior to the Wii and Kinect, citing that its tighter, cleaner and more precise than anything Nintendo's or Microsoft's console has to offer.

"It's more hardcore than most motion games are," developer claims

"According to Upton, throwing magic bolts and casting spells using the Move controller will be challenging enough to appeal to hardcore gamers without being too tough for casual ones to grasp."

"What we're trying to do with this... it's more hardcore than most motion games are," he told IndustryGamers. "Most motion games are intended to be very, very casual. They have an almost Simon Says quality to them. We wanted something that would appeal to a more hardcore audience and would have depth and complexity."

"That's attention to detail that more serious gamers are interested in. It's not, 'Oh I can just button mash my way through.' By actually mastering the system, I can feel like I'm a more powerful gamer. The fact that Move is so precise, it lets us create that very technical focused, skill-based motion control game."

Earlier this week, Sony announced a spring 2012 release date for Sorcery.

"It's tighter, it's cleaner, it's more precise - I don't think you could do a game like this on either Kinect or Wii. I don't think technically they'd be able to support this kind of gameplay."

On Kinect, Upton added: "As a gamer it doesn't really appeal to me that much. I like something a little meatier."

could Sorcery overthrow The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as the pinnacle of motion controlled games?

The Move is not better than the Wii. Why? Because it doesn't have 1st-party / 2nd-party Nintendo games.

I don't care if the tech is better...it's all about the exclusive selection that makes a platform a worthwhile purchase.

Sony is under many impressions, most of them seem a tad biased.

Even if Soccery turns out to be an amazing game, it's a year too late. Move is already dead.

Well it is, the MOVE controller is better than the Wii-mote, its just doesnt have alot of good games (other than shooters). If you are comparing controller abilities then yes MOVE is better, if you are comparing games for both, then Yes the Wii is better.

other than Sports Champions, yeah. Most of the others are just regular games (MAG, Socom, R3, KZ3, Heavy Rain, ect) that just have the MOVE option.

Uh oh, cows have jumped back on the motion control superiority myth. This statement is basically, "Look, our pile of crap is better than the others. Herp!"

Oh I get it, you think Sydney is in the desert with kangaroos and dustballs everywhere? Stores are flaunting Kinect while Move stays locked up in a cabinet.

Been hyping this game a long time.

It might be time to get a Move.

Kinect can't compete in the "hardcore" department.

Actually Kinect is the only one getting good games (8.5/10 Gunstringer) and 10x more core games in 2012 (Ryse, Draco, Fable, Alan Wake, Mass Effect, Haunt, Star Wars, Steel Batallion, Halo 4 etc)

Move only has the 6/10 medieval moves or something and the dull looking Sorcery that i would not even play if it was for free

Playstation Move is better then the Wii-mote whether it's a copy or not. Anyone whose used both extensively should know that. I'm personally glad Sony isn't focusing heavy on the Move besides putting it as a secondary controller for their main exclusives. I don't want another Kinect situation.

Kinect don't work good for core games.

At least not as a main control.

E3 2011 proved this with the Ghost Recon guy clenching his fists to fire gun, and that dopey Star Wars game they had for Kinect.

Sorcery is alot more interesting than any of that.

But keep lying to yourself. I bet you don't even use kinect.

Sorcery looks like the least interesting game i have ever seen actually, there is nothing to compare to behemoths like Ryse, Draco, Fable that are AAA titles

Too little too late. Sony didn't support the Move when it came out, and now it's dead. And Sorcery is going to blow.

Lol if fable 3 was anything to go by then dont get too hyped its the weakest fable and keeps getting weaker as a franchise.

Dev for Ryse has supposidly shifted to nextbox aswell btw/

I dont comment on Ryse rumors, which are also fake

Plus Fable 2 is a 8.9/10 (great) and Fable 3 a 8/10 (good) ni metacritic, nothing not to get exited about, considering also i like the cities, art and world design in Fable 1-2-3 more than any game in existance besides Withcer 2 and Dark Souls that are worthy rivals
