Just coming across our news desk:
GameTrailers has a blurb where
SCE Worldwide President Phil Harrison denies mandating
Factor 5 use the
SixAxis motion control system for
Lair.
Maybe mandated is too strong a word...maybe they just
*strongly suggested* it?
Speaking to GameTrailers, he said, "[Motion control] was definitely not mandated by us. We've always said all along that the use of the Sixaxis is something that should be decided by the developer in tune with their creative vision for the game, so it's not something we would mandate."
That is pretty much the meat of the whole blurb, other than he also defended the (short) length of Heavenly Sword.
