News: Cursed Mountain Could Support MotionPlus

Posted by Nathan Whincup - Nov 2nd 2008 18:59

A hands-on in the latest issue of NGamer reveals that Deep Silver's upcoming horror title, Cursed Mountain, could support Wii MotionPlus.

Cursed Mountain, announced back in July by developers Deep Silver, takes place in the Himalayas in the 1980s and follows the tale of a climber who has lost his brother on a trek near a village occupied by the restless souls of the people who died there many years ago.

Issue #30 of NGamer features a hands-on with Deep Silver's creepy caper and includes a few more details on the controls of Cursed Mountain. Wii Remote gestures will be used to act out rituals and use prayer scrolls in order to defeat ghosts and allow them to move on to the underworld. As we'll be assuming the role of a climber, gestures will also be used to scale frozen walls with an icepick.

The hands-on also features confirmation that the developers are considering implenting Wii MotionPlus support into Cursed Mountain to allow for more accurate motion recognition.

Be sure to pick up the Christmas issue of NGamer when it hits shelves next week to read the full preview. Cursed Mountain is due for a release at some point in 2009.

good, I guess, allthough I dont think it would benifit hugely this sort of game.
(if its "gesture to do a spell" type play, as long as the gestures are distinct enough, MP isnt needed. If however, how *well* you do the motions mater , then it is).

Either way, I got my figures silently crossed that this might just...with some luck....be this generations Eternal Darkness.
(in terms of quality that is, I hope it sales better).

You know a tonne of folks will be annoyed if they have to go out and buy the wii plus to play this game. If its optional then most should be satisfied but the casual gamers probably wont want to go buy an extra piece of kit to make a game work which could be problamatic for game sales. On the other hand, if they put out a bundle with the game with the motion plus then it may up the sales figures.
