Sony’s just announced a Sharp Shooter attachment for the PlayStation Move. It’s basically like a Wii Zapper, except it actually looks kinda like a proper plastic gun instead of a lame plastic… airbrush. Or whatever it is the Wii Zapper actually looks like.
“The PlayStation Move sharp shooter houses both the motion controller and navigation controller, giving you complete control over aiming, movement and interaction within the game,” writes product guy Anand Agarwal over on the PlayStation blog. “It will truly offer the most intuitive and immersive control experience ever found in a shooter game. It was designed for both comfort and precision, including easily accessible buttons, a responsive digital trigger, adjustable shoulder stock and convenient access to the navigation controller. In addition, the sharp shooter has incorporated a firing mode selector, realistic pump-action and a reload button that allow for new ways of engagement.”
The Sharp Shooter is apparently certified 100% Killzone 3-Ready, and is also supported in SOCOM 4, Dead Space: Extraction, and Time Crisis: Razing Storm. It’s due to launch alongside Killzone 3 in February 2011, and tagged at $39.99 in the States.
