Castlevania Dev: Move 'Too Gimmicky' | NowGamer

In a NowGamer interview, Konami Producer Dave Cox has revealed that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow developer MercurySteam turned down PlayStation Move integration in the game.
Cox explained, "We were given access to Move a few months ago, to test with the game. We looked at it but we felt that, at that point in development, it would be more of a gimmick than a feature. So we decided against using Move. Purely because we want a game in which you can take the combat seriously. As you’ve seen, the combat is quite deep and waving the PlayStation Move around the living room just wouldn’t be right. I think it would be a cheap marketing ploy."
Lords of Shadow is a forthcoming reboot of the Castlevania series, developed with the input of Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima. It is a non-canonical take on the series that looks set to do the franchise justice in 3D after previous attempts to modernise the brand fell flat.
