While both Nintendo and Sony decided on having motion-sensing controllers, Microsoft wanted to set themselves apart by entirely removing the need for a controller. However, not everyone was as eager to take the controllers out of players’ hands, with Rare and Peter Molyneux being among those not entirely sold on the idea initially.  According to a chat between Edge and Rare creative director George Andreas (via CVG), the idea of controller-free gaming took a while to catch on. Andreas states “We were very vocal to Kudo [Tsunoda, Kinect lead] at the time, and Peter Molyneux was as well, that you needed something in your hand.” He continues “We were absolutely adamant that we needed a button, something with haptic feedback, that would initiate an action. It took a long time – we threw some prototypes together and then we saw you didn’t need one.” |
