Tumble on to PlayStation Move

Sony has announced today information on a new PlayStation Move title that features full 3D support entitled Tumble. This product from Supermassive Games may seem a lot like a deformed version of Jenga, but the physics and interactivity the title offers is something to truly behold. Despite the debut trailer for the game offering up nothing really groundbreaking or even anything to be excited about, the detail surrounding Tumble give off the impression that the game has a lot of potential, especially in a two-player world.

The PS Move Is Too Precise?
We think Tumble has the most precise control system ever developed for a game: Every action you make with your motion controller is replicated on-screen perfectly.

We’re very proud of what we achieved, but early in development we had an issue with this amazing technology. The data we were getting from the PS Move was almost too precise; It picked up every tiny movement, every twitch, every overshoot and correction.

A long time was spent just working on how to use the huge amount of data we were getting back from the PS Move, smoothing out the raw data without introducing lag. It wasn’t just about getting 1:1 control; it was about making it feel like 1:1. We’re really happy with the outcome and sure you will be too when you try it out.

Multiplayer Attracts Crowds
There’s something about a massive, unstable, teetering tower of blocks that draws a crowd: People want to see it crashing down.

To test our multiplayer levels we invited everyone in the studio to have a go on Tumble whenever they liked. The crowds grew as the games got more intense. It made us realize that we had something really compelling with the multiplayer experience; everyone was a backseat driver, everyone wanted to grab the controller and everyone wanted to be the best.

We also added drop-in co-op to all the single player levels. It’s a great feature to play with family or friends, or if you want to complete the Timed medals super fast.

And Finally…
Tumble on a 3D TV is incredible: it feels like you’re actually reaching inside the TV. You should definitely give this super intuitive mode a go if you get the chance.

  1. looks interesting but i have never heard of it

  2. It looks like Boom Blox minus the destruction and plus realistic physics. Definitely cool-looking. 8)

  3. I dunno about this game… It probably will be fun with 2 players but single player would be kinda boring. But i found this website explaining in a humoristic way why move is better. it’s officially made by sony -> yaybuttons.com

  4. Maybe make an article about the website above 😛
