P5 technology promises to make Black & White a completely new experience.
Essential Reality, LLC, creators of the P5 gaming glove, have signed an agreement with Lionhead Studios to fully implement its P5 technology into Lionhead’s PC games.
"Black & White is the perfect gaming platform to demonstrate the power and technical achievement of our new P5T technology," said Martin Currie, VP of Business Development. "Players will be able to directly control the characters and action of Black & White with intuitive movements of their hand and fingers. Black and White has sold over 1.8 million units and has a large and active user base. Enhancing the game with our P5T technology will bring a whole new level of interactivity and enjoyment to the hard core Black and White fan base."
Both Black & White and Black & White: Creature Isle will support the P5 controller, which allows users to play games with hand and finger movements and gestures.
According to Martin Currie, Essential Reality’s VP of business development, players will be able to “directly control the characters and action of Black & White with intuitive movements of their hand and fingers.”
The two companies have also planned a number of co-promotion and joint-marketing initiatives to promote the P5-enhanced versions of the game.
