‘PlayStation Move’ Does It Do Everything?

"Before I start my impressions of the PlayStation Move I would like to mention that as a big fan of the Nintendo Wii, by no means do I believe it’s a bad console. With that out the way here are my impressions of the PlayStation Move.

Firstly the games and how the Move handles them..." - Just Push Start

no doubt wii owners wanting to tap hd are gonna line up for this
hd games n better accuracy not to mention with sony backing it we are gonna see some amazing games
dont delay jump in n get 2 moves if ya really want to play sports XD

qface645697d ago

uh why would wii owners line up to pay more for more motion controls???

easto1a5697d ago

I have a Wii and Move and must say move is better

"I have a Wii and Move and must say move is better"

Yup, as a motion controller, the Move has more potential..but the question is whether a person who only owns a Wii is willing to pay $400+ to get the Move?

"I am a Wii owner who bought 2 MOVES and 2 Nav controllers."

But..did you already have a PS3 before you bought the Move? What I'm trying to find out if Wii-only owners are willingly to spend $400+ JUST to get the Move.

dragon825697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

I am a Wii owner who bought 2 MOVES and 2 Nav controllers.

As far as Wii only owners go just think about it. If you are a Wii only owner who is looking to move up to one of the HD consoles which one are you going to choose?? The one with a brand new controller type (Xbox 360) or the one with the familiar type of controller (PS3)?

EYEamNUMBER15697d ago

saying wii owners would be moving up to wii or whatever of the sort is a little far fetched

i mean that's going under the assumption that wii owners have a wii simply just for the motion controls

pretty much all wii owners have a wii for the games the nintendo games to be specific and if your referring to the casual crowd then there is less of a chance of them moving up to anything

The question is who's really still playing there wii.
Move is awesome bought it day one, and am looking forward to games like the shoot and sorcery. Plus playing KZ3 with it will be fun(Mostly use regular controller for that though) Move has core games and casual games, and has potential out the ass.
1:1 motion is amazing

Muletroid5697d ago

"The question is who's really still playing there wii"

wii ownders who play their wii?
last i checked there allot of em

avengers19785697d ago

true there are alot of wii owners watching there wii collect dust.

Muletroid5697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

riiight that is why nintendo games sell the staggering amount they do?

beardpapa5697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

aside from super mario galaxy 2, the kids at home only play samba de amigo. I highly doubt Move is targeted towards the Wii crowd. I really don't think that's Sony's intention. If they were really trying to grab that market, they would have shown a ton of casual games at E3 and TGS.

I'm more inclined to believe Sony is trying to bring their 9-yrs-in-development motion control tech to the core adults, and see what 1:1 motion control can bring to high-def video console gaming in a living room environment.

And before you jump and say Sports Champion is casual, it's more core than it is casual gaming. When you have to actually swing the paddle in pong instead of beating your opponent by flicking like you do in Wii tennis, it actually requires more skill than chance.

MsmackyM5697d ago

Just bought the Move bundle with an extra controller this weekend. The only games I buy and play on the Wii are franchise titles, I can only get from Nintendo, mainly Zelda. I will most likely put a lot more miles on the Move.

Played Ping-Pong wiht my brother in sports champions. I'm impressed. As accurate as they say. I was sweating my ass off (and i'm fit) after playing 3 very competitive games.

easto1a5697d ago

its great fun to play cant wait to get a second move controller

ShadyDevil5697d ago

Its an amazing piece of hardware. Any self respecting gamer needs to have one.

CrazyForGames5697d ago

would make more sense for you to say that when games actually started coming out for it..

dragon825697d ago

1. Sports Champions is awesome.
2. Heavy Rain is great with MOVE controls.
3. Tiger Woods 11 is great with MOVE controls.
4. MAG has a learning curve but still very fun with MOVE controls.
5. Start the Party is great fun for the family.
6. Tumble is a great puzzle game.

Seems like there are games for it to me,

CrazyForGames5697d ago

sports champion is bundled with move its not a game people are going out and get a move for

same goes for heavy rain, tiger woods, start the party and tumble

saying "Any self respecting gamer needs to have one" makes no sense as things are now
say that again when they actually start releasing games for the move not even just games but notable worth while games that would make someone want to consider having the move i can count the whole library of move games with my fingers right now and very few if any are notable games that would make people want move as things are now

again like i said say that when they start releasing games for it

dead_eye5696d ago

sports champions isn't bundled with anything in the uk. it was the game i was most looking forward to at launch oh and tumble.

gotta say flight control works awesome with move to i'm ashamed to say i spent a few hours playing that last night. 218 planes landed.

ApocalypseShadow5697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED.

and maybe i missed something.but sorcery didn't look kiddy at all to me.i think most adult gamers will class that as "E" everyone and harry potter fans.

rumble adds that extra immersion.and i knew sony would have it back for gaming during the lawsuit years ago.i just knew games like GT and MGS wouldn't go without it.not everyone likes rumble.but it sure does add to gaming.it's definitely not a negative.

now picture all these mini games in sports champions.now think about what can be done in a future game for ps3.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

let's make a game of multiple players like in games like mag or resistance 2.

LET'S CALL IT......."BATTLE CHAMPIONS"....or whatever....

can you see the epic battles of sword and shield gameplay?can you see the archers launching their arrows into the air?can you see the horse riders with their spears charging?can you see gamers in the rear launching objects with catapults?or better yet,you could have a bow,spear and knife as backup weapons.higher level players have fire and ice swords.maybe even add wizards to the mix.and they are all using MOVE controllers.

can you see this type of gaming done on anything other than sony's console?sony ramping up the amount of players from 16 vs16 to 20vs20 to 30vs30 to 128vs128 are TESTS.

socom and killzone3 with move support in online games are TESTS.i don't doubt for a minute that a medieval battle game is coming.and no other console is capable of it.that would be the MMO killer app and goes beyond just a simple Oblivion sequel.

the amount of fun to be had in that is awesome.

DigitalRaptor5697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

I share your enthusiasm for Move and what is possible from it in the future.

I mean even the current games are showing how great and accurate it is, so just imagine 2nd or 3rd generation Move games. And even games for PS4 with Move. =D

spooky2055697d ago

move support would seal the deal for me. As much hours as can be put to that game, move would definitely be worth the purchase.

GuruStarr785697d ago

Just picked up Resident Evil Gold Edition at best buy for 29.99, lets see how it plays....I read that the control scheme is a little off because you have to use the move button to shoot.

Lets see if it's better than RE4 on the wii.

MightyMark4275697d ago

Gold Edition pretty much have the same controls as the RE4 Wii version. You aim with the T button and shoot with the move button

GuruStarr785697d ago

Wow, the accuracy is pin-point though....nice.....

callahan095696d ago

Yeah I find it to be much more accurate than using the analog stick. The game is just easier to play with Move. Is there a way to move the camera without moving your character, though?

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi49d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer50d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot50d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno50d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay50d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno48d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK48d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
