One of the drawbacks to having your motion controller look like a sex toy with a light on top of it is that it can’t easily fit into a plastic gun so you can play on-rails shooters or FPSes on your system. Or can it?
A plastic gun shell for the PlayStation Move was spotted in Sony’s booth on the floor at E3, and it actually looks pretty solid. Obviously, the issue of the light being covered is taken care of by the fact that it protrudes out the end, and the rest of the gun is even more self-explanatory. The gun uses the expansion port on the bottom of the Move to attach, so you probably aren’t just pulling trigger on the gun to push the trigger on the Move, but instead are triggering an action with the trigger pull.
I apologize if that last sentence didn’t make sense. Let me seamlessly move away from it by asking if anyone else is surprised at the orange and white colors. Maybe it’s just a mock-up but it feels awfully retro, and I love it.
