...after looking around the bathroom after taking control of Kane, we noticed the body lying on the floor. Upon approaching the body, an icon appeared that showed the right stick moving down. By pulling down on the right stick, we were able to grab a hold of the man’s body. Then another on screen display showed up that was a meter with “L” and “R” on either side of the progressive bar. This required us to rapidly pull the left and right trigger alternately in order to drag the man’s body into one of the stalls. This control system, which the designers have named MPAR (Motion Physical Action Reaction), helps players feel a connection to the actions being carried out by using a similar movement on the controller. The down motion of the right stick reflects Kane’s need to bend downwards to grab a hold of the man’s body and the left and right trigger mashing is designed to physically stress the player in the way in which Kane has to struggle to drag the lifeless body into the stall. Sure this seems like a simple setup, but after a while it feels very intuitive and it actually does give a realistic portrayal of the physical strain being put on the character, particularly during some of Indigo Prophecy’s more involving action sequences.

:) Nice to see how the controller interaction concept works.
