Hi everyone! My name is Richard Ho and I’m part of the SCEA marketing team that has brought you familiar peripherals such as the DUALSHOCK 3, Bluetooth Headset and Surround Sound System. Back in December we showed you the new PlayStation Move sharp shooter and its compatibility with Killzone 3. Today, we took some time to walk you through the sharp shooter’s anatomy and show you how it works in action with two of our most anticipated games – Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs.
The PlayStation Move sharp shooter’s authentic design allows you to literally take aim and move into the firefight with the most intuitive and immersive control experience for shooter games. For those of you FPS fans on the fence about the sharp shooter, here are a few things to consider:
Developers for Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 have created their games with the sharp shooter in mind. There are customization screens available to adjust the sharp shooter settings which will allow for a perfect gaming experience.
The PlayStation Move sharp shooter enables easy access to the navigation controller and features easily accessible buttons (use of the extension connector to map the motion controller buttons onto the body of the gun). Extra features such as the reload button, pump-action grip, and firing mode selector give you additional in-game options to play with. The digital trigger allows for short pulls – meaning faster firing compared to manual triggers. An adjustable shoulder stock increases comfort for those long play sessions. Finally, you can customize the gun with included Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 stickers to suit your taste.
With the more than 50 supported PlayStation Move games available, there’s definitely something for everyone to enjoy. For the hardcore gamers, rest assured that Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 will not disappoint! The sharp shooter is only $39.99 (MSRP) and will be available at the time Killzone 3 launches on Feb 22, 2011. We can’t wait for you to test out the sharp shooter for yourselves. When you do, let us know what you think!
@erick_34 – no problem, perhaps I shouldn’t reply to two people in one comment. :-)
Already reserved this puppy on Amazon. Should be nice!
I’m so stoked for both theses games and plan on utilizing the sharpshooter and Move for both. KZ3 controls fantastically with Move. I tried going back to a DS3 and it just felt stiff and slow to me. Move just seems to sort of flow better. Even though it may seem sort of “unstable” to some people who first try it and may take some tweaking of the settings to really tune it to how you want it, you quickly adapt and become much better with it and are rewarded with a much smoother, more immersive experience.
Already pre-ordered and paid for! Cant wait.
nice, we got an answer on the jump.
it is SQUARE by your trigger finger. i dont jump and shoot very often (maybe not at all), so this should work
thank the gods! (bsg reference..watching for the first time…up to season 2.5)
Not only that, but the way I do it is keep my index finger on those buttons, and use my middle finger for the trigger.
