Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest to Use Motion Sensing
Indeed, another Lord of the Rings game is coming out. Who knows, maybe this one will be better than mediocre. We can hope. In the efforts to go beyond mediocrity, the developers are planning on using Sony’s motion sensing technology to enhance the game.
Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest will be hitting the PS3, PS2, PSP, DS and Wii this coming Fall, giving users the chance to run around as the titular elf slaying orcs and all other manner of dark, evil creatures.
As such, it is being marketed as a family friendly action adventure title. I can see it now. Mom, Dad and Johnny gather besides the big screen with motion sensing controllers in hand. Skip, the dog, growls quietly in the corner. Next thing you know, the doors of Moria are broken by a giant troll, Skip barks uncontrollably and Mom yells, “You get them Johnny. Stab that orc. Poke the troll in the eye. Swing that controller harder!”
Okay, sarcasm about a family friendly LOTR title aside, Aragorn’s Quest will feature voice acting done by many of the actors from the movies, and is being developed by Headstrong Games for the consoles and TT Fusion for the handhelds.
