Much like the star it’s named for, it seems the Tiger Woods PGA Tou r franchise isn’t adverse to trying new things. EA has announced that the next iteration, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 , will support the PlayStation Motion Controller to “give gamers an authentic interactive swing experience.” There aren’t any other details about Motion Controller implementation at the moment, but the game is slated for release on June 8 — well before the Motion Controller’s projected fall release.

We became considerably more concerned about Project Natal’s future when we learned it would be pulling its processing power from the 360 and it would seem that the development community is similarly conflicted. In a feature by Develop , probably the most important party in the peripheral’s success, the developers, weighed in on the device with a mixed bag of concern and enthusiasm. Though there was a good amount of positivity and skepticism, the overwhelming sentiment is in line with Weaseltron director Adrian Hirst’s wait-and-see attitude: “Microsoft need to start showing some real killer games/applications for Natal before people really start getting interested in it as a platform.” So, here’s your chance: What’s your Natal prediction?
