E3 2011: Ken Levine Discusses PlayStation Move In Bioshock Infinite

"We don't know how we're going to use PlayStation Move yet," was the message of Irrational Games' Ken Levine during Sony's press conference

Bioshock Infinite Looks Glorious, But Levine Still Doesn't Know What To Do With Move.

It's a sentiment echoed in the developer's interview with IGN.

I tried to be as honest as I could up there. I dont exactly know what were doing yet. Ive worked with known film directors who basically were wanting to make a Bioshock movie, and their experience with Bioshock is watching their son play it.

Im not going to change my game. Im not going to change the core experience. I almost view this as a port to another platform.

However Levine is keen on including the controller as an optional extra for those that wish to use it.

If you dont care about [Move], dont worry about it. You dont have to touch that. Youll never even notice its there. If you want to try it, its there, great. My hope is that well succeed in the experiment and people will like it.

We're not entirely sure why Levine is making such a big deal over this. Bioshock Infinite is a first-person shooter, isn't it obvious how the game will make use of PlayStation Move?
