Move is No Better Than Kinect

DualShockers writes, "You know it kills me; nowadays people just can’t get enough of talking about how Microsoft’s Kinect is terrible, not appealing, and just overall a complete mess. I’m not saying I disagree with these claims. The first word that comes to mind when I think of Kinect is boring. Honestly, all the game-play videos and games just look like complete garbage, and I can’t believe they expect people to pay $150 for it. I think it takes a very specific kind of consumer for Kinect to look enjoyable at all.

So, since we’ve all confirmed that I too think that Kinect will suck eggs, on to the real meat of the motion gaming fetish: the PlayStation Move. It seems like everyone has very low expectations for Kinect (which again I understand) but everyone is behaving as if Move will be the best thing to hit the PlayStation this year. This is what I do not agree with..."

I really don't agree with this but the argument presented is very intelligent and rational and seems like the best and most well put together argument against the Move I've seen thus far...

DasBunker5748d ago

let the software do the talking

ipwnall5748d ago

This.

@Hitman- Dude, we know you got something going with Dualshockers. Your post had the most kissass attitude I've seen in a week.

Is this what you guys have to resort to get your site going?

ArcFatalix5748d ago

nice post call your other buddies to get this article to 50 degrees

pork_chop_express5748d ago

@arc

LOL its the dualshocker crew.

Hitman07695748d ago (Edited 5748d ago )

if you want to face me on some 1on1 in modern warfare 2 and back up your cheesy attitude with getting owned be my guest.

dkblackhawk505748d ago

This really didn't need any commenting because of the fact it is Move vs. Kinect...no commenting needed. Idiots >.>

Boody-Bandit5748d ago (Edited 5748d ago )

So this is how low N4G has become. A site that gets it's fame from N4G comes here, approves their own submits, talks them up and or defends them. When an N4G member has something less than positive to say those same guys defend and or attack N4G members like rabbid dogs.

WTF does you beating someone in a video game 1 on 1 have to do with his opinion of you and your site over an "opinion" piece?

Now I remember why I blocked you from sending me PM's to every article your site tries to get approved on here. Yes N4G members that did not know this. That is how sites like Dualshockers work. I have all but stopped using my contributor status because the majority of articles I don't find news worthy. This would be one of those articles.

BTW Hitman
Take a deep breath, a step back and chill out.

''if you want to face me on some 1on1 in modern warfare 2 and back up your cheesy attitude with getting owned be my guest. ''

I laughed so loud for about 3 seconds.

Unexpected and funny comment (at least for me).

As a whole, I do not like any of the new motion controllers, but neither will I say either one will fail, nor will I write them off entirely. I do like the sixaxis because it's departure from the standard controller is very small, but it's not being used to it's potential. That is why I think Move and Kincet has the potential to be a waste of time, because of the lack of support/tacked-on support they probably will both get.

Move *does* look good for RTS and shooters, and if Move can rival a mouse for both genres, I would get it, but other than that, no. Sony should have focused on a Killzone or Resistance RTS game using Move.

Oh, and for that sorcery game, that looked pretty good.

boodybandit5748d ago (Edited 5748d ago )

This: "I too think that Kinect will suck eggs, on to the real meat of the motion gaming fetish" <- is intellegent and rational? Then I must be a dumbass inbred hick that belongs in the sticks because I don't see that as either.

All I see is a bunch of lame articles trying to pretend they know what a device will achieve or how it will be perceived before it's even released to the general public. How about we put the crystal balls away and wait for these devices to come out?

-Mezzo-5748d ago

The only reason i went for MOVE instead of KINECT is simple THE GAMES, thats why i have MOVE Pre-Ordered, Heck it's Rumored that even inFAMOUS 2 will support move.

Bigpappy5747d ago

This songs like a regular, nobody poster, who wants to be negative to the Move and is using Kinect to soften the blow. The natural progression from Eyetoy to Kinect and Wii to Move is obvious. I understand that this is a PS3 blog from a PS3 perspective, where PS3 users may think no one is interested in Kinect and that it will fail. But you still need to write an article with something that supports your position (Video; Link to some retailer's pre-order numbers or a tracking site like NPD). Just typing your thoughts with none of that is a waste of reading, since it is just you talking and you are nobody special. Just calling it as I see it.

"It seems like everyone has very low expectations for Kinect (which again I understand) but everyone is behaving as if Move will be the best thing to hit the PlayStation this year"

Huh? Are you kidding me? Where is he getting all these assumptions? Some PS3 fanboys even says that Move will flop. Gran Turismo 5 will be the best thing to hit the PS3 this coming fall. This is being said many times already.

Hitman07695748d ago

Move is gonna be ridiculously awesome Millionaire. Not sure why you can't see that...

Nitrowolf25748d ago (Edited 5748d ago )

wow
i didn't read the article yet which i will but i am confused of where that assumption comes from to. I mean you can kind of imply that people saying it will be the best thing to hit playstion this year are prob PS fanboys, which you can use that same sentence with Kinect.

okay i read it, and some points are alright, you can say it is a rehash but really isn't it a combination of both Kinect and Wii?
PS Eye can do everything Kinect has shown so far, with PS Move that adds deph into it, making it so you can reach towards the camera and your chracter will to, i don't think Wii does that but Kinect does.

(when i say you or your i meant the aurthor of the article)
Software wise MOVE has the advantage, hardware you can say they are close but MOVE has proved to work. Your (The author of the article who ever that is) not trying to put MOVE down because you do say a lot about Kinect and everything, your just trying to show that if Kinect is a rehash PS eye camera then MOVE is a rehash of the Wii, but like i said it is more of a combination even though SONY didn't know what Kinect could do and such they still had it right on.

Chadness5748d ago

I don't agree with the author, but he does represent the standpoint of a certain group of people, and that voice needs to be heard, I suppose.

I, for one, will be getting Move on launch day.

pork_chop_express5748d ago

lame, rather than search out something interesting to say or a video walkthrough just mock both kinect and move classless stuff.

Hitman07695748d ago

If it's so lame why did you leave a comment? Me thinks thou doth protest too much.

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

Cacabunga586d ago

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

just_looken586d ago

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

Relientk77587d ago

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

Lexreborn2586d ago

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