MLB 12 : The Show First Look Trailer

As far as first looks go, this one is at the premier end of the scale. In fact, I’d even go as far as to say that this new trailer for MLB 12 : The Show takes the scale, destroys it, thwacks what’s left with its baseball bat and then pitches the remnants into the stands for good measure.

In true trailer fashion, it boasts “enhanced realism”, but that really didn’t need to be stated as our first taste of in-game footage looks (and even feels) incredible. (Apparently the game also has “full PlayStation move controls” too, which isn’t necessarily something to be proud of so you know, yin and yang).

It’s not the “#1 Rated Sports Game” for nothing.

Little known factoid – the PlayStation Move tech and (compatible Move game) Start the Party are the last video game related things that I bought out of my own pocket (the generous bank of Mum & Dad bought Black Ops or me!) and to be honest, I’m incredibly proud of myself for saving up to buy such a brilliant piece of tech.

Now I can’t vouch for Microsoft’s Kinect as I’ve not used it, but it seems the PS Move is right up there as one of the most precise motion-gaming gadgets in existence.
