NaturalMotion's Morpheme 3 Available For Sony's NGP

NaturalMotion announced today that their richly detailed animation tool suite for software and game development will be supported by Sony’s NGP, definitely giving the new handheld a leg-up over its Nintendo 3DS competition when it comes to in-game character animations.

How well the software will be utilized for the NGP is a whole other matter, though, but most games that make use of NaturalMotion’s toolsets usually churn out some pretty cool games with top notch animations, one of the best so far is still Rockstar’s Grant Theft Auto 4.

Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion commented in the press release about the tools becoming available for the NGP, saying…

“We are excited by the possibilities that SCE is opening up with NGP”… “With Morpheme already powering numerous PlayStation 3 titles, it is amazing to now have the performance to run our technology at the same fidelity on a handheld device. This is truly a great time for gamers everywhere”.

I definitely have to agree with Reil about it being a great time for gamers everywhere, this will definitely change the landscape of what’s possible for handheld gamers to experience when it comes to character interaction and immersion. It’s a positive move forward for the handheld gaming arena and for Sony’s next generation portable.
