tetsuya mizuguchi's latest music-driven ''''''synesthesia'''''' shooter, child of eden, made for an exciting kickoff to ubisoft's pre-e3 2010 press conference. we caught up with the rez creator following the event to chat about the his kinect title, and found out that microsoft's new motion-tracking tech actually won't be required to play.

mizuguchi answered in the affirmative when we asked if child of eden can be played using a standard controller, also confirming that players will experience rez-like controller vibration synced to the game's music. given that the q entertainment founder went as far as to create the ''''''trance vibrator'''''' peripheral for additional, buzz-y feedback for rez, we asked how he felt (or didn't, as the case may be) about a lack of tactile feedback when playing kinect titles. ''''''when i play the kinect, i need some feedback,'''''' he replied, adding that vibrating bracelets -- like the trance vibrator -- could be used to improve the experience.

and what about a playstation move release of the game? ''''''we haven't decided yet,'''''' mizuguchi responded when the topic was broached. he may not have, but we've decided we want it. how about you?mizuguchi: child of eden to support standard controllers originally appeared on joystiq on tue, 15 jun 2010 04:10:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
