Sony's Tretton Sounds Off On E3 Leaks 37
An anonymous reader writes "Sony is hinting that previously released games might be able to use its motion sensor controller. Jack Tretton said it would be 'absolutely conceivable' that existing games could get a patch when the controller comes out next year — and implied that some of the games shown at E3 this year could ship with motion sensing built into them. The president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America is also not happy about the leaks that preceded the company's E3 press conference (for example, details on the PSP Go). Tretton says it has become impossible to keep a secret in the gaming industry because of third-party publishers — and he's worried about the ramifications that will have as the company develops the PS4."
Joystiq's Law of the Game column has a related article questioning the value of NDAs now that the sharing of information has become so easy.

If you're concerned about seeing foul language at work, I generally wouldn't advise visiting any site where public comments of any type are posted. Fortunately, my boss isn't going to come after me for randomly viewing the [a-z]-word, especially if I'm not the one who posted it in the first place. If yours is, this might not be the best place to browse.
That said, putting n----- and the rest of it in the tags is quite juvenile, but some people will be juvenile, and those people unfortunately tend to gravitate toward sites with relatively open policies. That doesn't mean open policies are bad, just that one has to get used to tuning out a certain level of noise.

Tacking motion controls on an already released game? Yeah, that works out well.
