The next iteration of the publisher’s popular golfing sim includes the prestigious Ryder Cup golf tournament in-game and support for Sony’s PS3 motion controller and Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus. However, support for Microsoft’s upcoming Project Natal motion detection device for the Xbox 360 hasn’t been announced for the game yet.

During the recent press conference that revealed Sony’s PS3 Motion Controller to be named ‘PlayStation Move,’ the publisher also revealed a number of launch titles that would accompany the device into the market when it launches in the Fall of this year.

In addition to the announcement that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 would support PlayStation Move, and the fact that SOCOM 4 will also be playable with both the PlayStation Move and Subcontroller configuration, Sony will be releasing its own stable of titles to keep gamers happy, from the hardcore with titles like Dukes and The Shoot, to casual and family friendly titles like Move Party, Sports Champions (working titles) and TV SuperStars.

The first of a series of developer diaries discussing Sony’s set of PS3 Motion Controller devices (still only known as the ‘Motion Controller’) has gone up and features two of the researchers working on the hardware, Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov, talking about the precision and capabilities that the wand-like peripherals offer, while also discussing what may be possible in the future.

The video includes some very impressive showcases of the Motion Controllers in action, as Marks and Mikhailov play around with the devices while swinging virtual swords, shooting virtual arrows, drawing on a virtual board, and generally doing some cool things in a virtual space.

EA has today announced a solid release date for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (which will feature the prestigious Ryder Cup golf tournament in-game) while also revealing that the game will support Sony’s PS3 motion controller, in addition to the Wii MotionPlus for the Wii version.

In Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, players will be able to compete in The Ryder Cup by selecting a team from either the US or European squads and take part in a variety of competition formats to eventually (and hopefully) win the biennial event in-game.

Players will also be able to participate in a 24-person team-match online via Xbox 360 or PS3 and strategise with one another over Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network.

Sony has announced that it will be releasing its Motion Controller worldwide for the PS3 this fall/autumn. The new Motion Controller will be available in Japan, Asian regions, North America and Europe/PAL territories, along with what the publisher promises will be an “extensive line-up of software titles.”

In case you hadn’t heard, the new controller can “detect natural and intuitive movement of the hand and reflect the precise movement within the game” when combined with the PlayStation Eye camera.

Yeah… I don’t know about this one either.

Citing “a concrete source speaking under conditions of strict anonymity,” VG247 is rumour-mongering that Sony’s announced and demonstrated PS3 motion controller device has an official name, and that name is ‘Arc.’

Sony has recently announced the existence of a set of launch titles that will use their upcoming PS3 motion controller technology when it’s available in Spring of next year, while simultaneously revealing an impressive list of developers and publishers who will be making use of the tech.

The PlayStation 3 motion controller features “a pair of motion sensors, a three axes gyroscope and a three axes accelerometer, along with Bluetooth and a rechargable Li-on battery.” This technology detects the angle and movement of the controller when held in a user’s hand, or, according to Sony, it can “detect the natural and intuitive movement of the hand and reflect the precise movement onto the game.”

The new peripheral is also equipped with a rumble feature, while the top sphere of the control can change colours and patterns for extra visual feedback. A PlayStation Eye camera is apparently necessary to make the controller work correctly, however, as it uses the motion tracking tech of the camera to function.
