[Aggiornata] Per PS3 o PS Vita o next-gen?
Dopo le voci di corridoio che citavano lo studio Santa Monica di Sony Computer Entertainment America a lavoro su una nuova IP, ecco arrivare la conferma dallo stesso studio che ha pubblicato una richiesta di lavoro sul sito Gamasutra.
Difficile fornire informazioni su quale piattaforma sarà sviluppato. Lo studio sta cercando un Senior Staff Concept Artist con determinate caratteristiche nel suo curriculum.
Potrebbe essere un nuovo titolo per Playstation 3, oppure una nuova IP per la neonata console portatile Playstation Vita, od ancora un progetto talmente inedito da svilupparlo per la console di nuova generazione Playstation 4.
[Aggiornamento]
Secondo quanto confermato da Plastic, società che lavora sulla interazione tra motion controller e oggetti dell’ambiente in tempo reale, il progetto è destinato all’uso del Move ed è supportato da Santa Monica Studio. Il logo del progetto di Plastic è un richiamo al fiore Datura Stramonium, capace di produrre effetti allucinogeni. Difficile al momento accostare la notizia a questo progetto. Potrebbe essere lo stesso oppure un altro.
