Kinect vs. Move vs. Wii

GGG: "This year, Sony and Microsoft are set to release two new control schemes for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 — the PlayStation Move and Kinect for Xbox 360, respectively.

Unlike traditional gamepads, Move and Kinect employ motion-based sensors to control the action on screen. However, they both go about it in very different ways.

In addition to competing against each other, Move and Kinect must face Nintendo's phenomenally successful Wii console. In other words, there will soon be three motion-based controllers to choose from.

In the following article, we take a look at each motion-control interface in turn and run through their specific strengths and weaknesses."

I'd have to say it was a pretty fair comparison article. I'm mostly a PC gamer, so I have "no dog in this fight". However, of the three motion control set-ups, I'm most intrigued with the Sony Move. I mostly stay with the PC for my FPS/RTS games because I believe the mouse/keyboard to be the best control scheme for those games. But, the Move may make both of those genres control well for a console. I'm waiting to see how well it works out for an RTS like Ruse and shooters like KZ3 and Socom. Anyways, I like how Sony is considering the core gamer with its motion controller.

Razer is making a motion controller for the PC and has showcased it, but since jan 2010 not much is shown

''The main thing that the Sony Move offers over the Wii is better precision.''

Z Axis, Facial, Voice, Body recognition etc.

The experience is different thanks to that.

Try telling anyone that and they call you names. Everyone acts as if this is the first time someone has taken something and made it better. The Move is a more advanced version on the Wii-mote and the Kinect's lack of a controller limits it types games and functions.But tell anyone that and they go ballistic

Bigpappy5684d ago

But most of what he stated is fact. He should let readers make they own conclusion. One fact he did not mention, was that Wii or Move can not be directly compared to to Kinect. It's like trying to compare a whale to a mouse and a hamster.

The Wii has no body detection and does not use a camera. The PSeye does not do anything with the body when the Move is involved. If you want to track the body the game will have to be built to not use the move. At that point you are left with games the side stroller 2D game (left to right) like that Kungfu game that does not support the Move. The move is a controller with all the buttons used on 6axis and DS3. It can esily be patched into controller based game for the looking around with a pointer rather than a thumb-stick. Will it make these games better? Time will tell what gamers prefer.

That is all he needed to say. No conclusion is needed. When the time is right the games and effectiveness of the periferal for those games will be reviewed. He took was could have been an informative article and tured it into an opion piece. Mostly to start a fight on his sight. The truth is neither should reviewed before release and the game with targeted audience should be taken into account.

thats not true.

gta_manic5684d ago

didn't one of the HHG and engadget videos show how the avatars followed the sway and head movements.

EskiJoe5684d ago

The Wii does use an infrared camera, located on the wiimote itself.

If you want to talk like you know what you're talking about..... know what you are talking about.

**The PSeye does not do anything with the body when the Move is involved. If you want to track the body the game will have to be built to not use the move.**

see this nonsense?now look at the proof as ps3 gamers always give...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

when you can clearly see tracking of the head independent of the move controllers,but a fanboy claims otherwise with no demos to back himself up,who are you to believe?the truth giver or the fanboy?

just in this video,you can see head tracking,move...no wait...TWO moves being tracked.but it's not like move and gesture can't be done on pseye.we all know it can.

take this for example...we are going to bust the bubble of kinect supporters just on one game alone.see this:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

does anyone believe that this game would be better played with kinect over playstation move?look at this:
http://images.techtree.com/...
now this:
http://fandomania.com/wp-co...
not only that,but do you see that "BUTTON" on that light saber.somehow in the future,people still need buttons.

would you want to do a light saber duel like this from the arcades using kinect:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

or with ps move?you can stab,parry,slash,etc,just like this game:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

star wars becomes a better game on ps3 on what is supposed to be an inferior product.FUD has been blasted...

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

jznrpg504d ago

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga503d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken503d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77504d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2503d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech
