It appears that DICE has been approached by Sony and/or Microsoft in regards to supporting motion controls for the next generation, to which it replied with an exuberant hell no.

DICE Executive Producer Patrick Bach told Edge the following about Battlefield 4:
We are not interested in things that don’t make the game better. There are a lot of gimmicks - people throwing money at us - ‘can you implement support for this quirky control thing’. No, it doesn’t make the game better. He added: We are extremely open to innovation, but if it’s a gimmick, there’s no point unless it adds value to the player. It appears that Battlefield 4 will only incorporate new features that offer a positive and valuable addition to the player experience; it's concerning how surprising that is to hear, not because Battlefield has a history of trying too hard, but because most other games have.

"(Editors note: From Ace Attorney to Xenogears, everyones got at least one videogame tune stuck in their heads. Enter Liner Notes: a Pixelitis feature in which our writers discuss their favorite videogame music.) Lets talk about the awesome combination of game music cover bands and heavy metal. One of the fantastic things about videogame music is that the styles and possibilities within the genre are endless. Us VGM audiophiles bathe in a co-culture in which a classical, choir-oriented tune like this can still be lumped in the same category as its Mega Ran-covered, hip-hop conversion. Next to assembling expansive orchestras to perform renditions of our favorite videogame music in classical arrangements, forming a heavy metal cover band is also one of the most beloved ways of interpreting everything from Actraiser to Zelda II." - Patrick Kulikowski
