Showcase PS3 actioner Heavenly Sword may use the next-gen console's motion-sensing controller range to pan and zoom its in-game camera, a recent developer interview has suggested.
The E3 version of the game had no player camera control, but did a good job of choosing the most arty, cinematic angles for any situation (we especially liked the Evil Dead-style follow-cam when heroine Nariko hurls a dropped enemy's shield like a lethal frisbee). However, Heavenly Sword's producer, Mat Hart, revealed to website DailyGame that "the power of the PlayStation 3 controller, with the motion control, has opened a massive amount of possibilities, and we're really excited about those and are going to exploit those. Eventually, camera could be a very intriguing thing with motion control."
