The PlayStation 3's Web Browser Scoops PlayStation Move Pointer Support

PushSquare: "The PlayStation 3's web browser is a mess. A functional mess. We're still awaiting the inevitable Google Chrome announcement from Sony HQ, but until then, we'll continue struggling through the proprietary browser's broken pages because at least it's quicker than booting up Windows, right?"

...I never know when the browser will crash. I only use it now to check N4G front page and pandora sometimes.

headwing455723d ago

After 3.50 you can't access other accounts, like if you livbe in the US and you have a UK or japanese account, you cant go in the store

ryuzu5723d ago

The PSN is down in some places at the moment - sure it wasn't something to do with that?

r.

vegetassj515723d ago

that the psn is going through, cuz it won't let me go in to the US store and im from the US

bostoner5723d ago

If they did that that sucks. I share with My UK PSN plus buddy and I heard they get the new castlevania demo early. I kinda wanted to grab that... not to mention all the other stuff they roll out over there.

headwing455723d ago

Yeah I just realized that it's doing that on all accounts, even on my main account. Most probably the maintanence.

jebabcock5723d ago

I would love to see a tie in to google tv/android with access to the marketplace and use of those apps... although I doubt that would happen because it would pull people from buying the minis and other types of games off the psn..

bostoner5723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

Well it didn't work last night after I downloaded the patch... But PSN is in maintenance now so hopefully it works when it comes back online at 8pm eastern. It will make online flash shooter games finally playable from the PS3 browser. Trying to shoot the enemies popping out with the right stick is impossibly hard.

edit: well its back up now in the US... i dont know about the store but The move pointer still doesn't work.... Maybe there's a setting I'm missing or something. Any help would be appreciated.

mandf5723d ago

hold the trigger button then and move the cursor

bostoner5723d ago

Yea I know that much.... but that's not really a pointer now is it.

garos825723d ago

yeah got the same problem with me.
but it was the same before the update.

MGRogue20175723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

... I was kinda hoping the next PS3 firmware would fix up the browser in terms of speed, useability.. a overhaul.. & maybe, just maybe add Flash Player 10 support.

But.. We just received that today &.. well..

You get the idea. -.-

Matthew945723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

chrome would be absolutely epic, syncing bookmarks from pc to ps3 would be even more awesome

pixelsword5723d ago

The story is erroneous; didn't they get a move controller out and check it themselves before posting, or at least ask someone in another area to verify?

Sadness.

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.

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

Cacabunga585d ago

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

just_looken585d ago

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

Relientk77586d ago

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

Lexreborn2585d ago

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

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars - PlayStation Move's Best Kept Secret

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.

Why the PlayStation Move Failed

Sony's PlayStation Move may not have been able to contend with Nintendo's Wii, but it paved the way for PlayStation VR's success story.

I use them most days and have for years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're definitely way past a needed update, but I've got a tonne of fun out of them, so they haven't failed me.

bouzebbal1714d ago

The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games

thorstein1714d ago

They are used constantly for PSVR games. So, no they haven't failed. Neither has PSVR (or VR in general.)

Bigman4k1714d ago (Edited 1714d ago )

The article was talking about why it ps move failed before psvr came along

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1715d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1715d ago

I feel that's a bit harsh. To this day, playing Killzone 3's campaign with PS Move/Sharpshooter gun combo is the most fun/immersive experience I've ever had with an FPS.

I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be, but it didn't "suck".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1715d ago

It most definitely sucked. You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible. The entire motion control fad was a waste of resources and time. Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it...

Minute Man 7211715d ago

@SPEAK

The Move was better that the Wii mote. If the Wii was anywhere accurate as the Move was you could say the Wii was better. Sure it sold boatloads but was it really played consistently??

yeahokwhatever1715d ago

I played it in 3D with the move gun on a 100 inch projector and it BLEW MY MIND. I was exhausted, but i finished the campaign standing there.

SullysCigar1714d ago

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming"

Just no. Games release most weeks (for years now) that support Move controllers. Some ONLY use Move controllers.

Look, I get you're not a fan, but if you're going to rant, at least inform yourself in advance.

LordoftheCritics1715d ago

I would say both Move and Kinect weren't supported properly.

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1715d ago

Kinect sucked too. I would say Kinect may have been cool had it worked as intended but it was ahead of it's time. Both Kinect and Move are gimmicks nothing more. I honestly don't see why Sony still implements "motion controls" recent controllers. Who really uses that crap? And to play what?

Profchaos1715d ago

I so t think Sony abandoned the move it's technically repurposed and still supported on the ps5 just for VR

RedDevils1715d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1715d ago (Edited 1715d ago )

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH
Again if it was supported right.

Where even a fast click of my fingers could get an immediate in game response.

It feels trash because we have been shown or lived with bad versions of gesture based tech. Think Minority Report fast. That could be something.

''You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible.''

No one is acting like it was special, I said it could be amazing.

''I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be''

Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game and then we can discuss profits.

1715d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1715d ago

I don't deal in "what if". It wasn't supported right and even if it was it was still a gimmick.

thorstein1714d ago

"Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game"

You just described every AAA PSVR game. And even the indies have incredible integration. No Man's Sky VR is insanely good.

Silly gameAr1715d ago

And, you can act like it was horrible, but I had a blast with my Move. I had the whole collection of House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, and RE Darkside Cronicles, The Fight, and Socom 4, and I would play the hell out of those games I even beat a playthrough of the Resistance 3 campaign with the Move. Getting drunk and playing with friends was a freaking blast.

You can pretend that you had a move and played it all you want SPeak the Truth, but it was accurate, and usually on point. I hate when people act like they've played something just to trash it, when they really just have a vendetta, and think the Move is easy prey for your hate.

Minute Man 7211715d ago

Wait you can play Dead Space with the Move?? I need it

Orchard1715d ago

“You can pretend that you had a move”

I love this crazy idea that if someone has something bad to say about hardware/software - they must be lying about owning it and clearly do not own it!

Because all hardware and software has a 100% approval rating from all purchasers…

P_Bomb1715d ago (Edited 1715d ago )

Shoot I forgot about Dead Space Extraction and Umbrella Chronicles. Had those too. Still do (digital).

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1715d ago

I have a vendetta against Move? Lmao that's the most ridiculous comment I've read today. I didn't buy it because like I said motion controls are gimmicks. I had a Wii and it was decent enough but a gimmick although successful. I had a Kinect and it too was trash. Don't act as if you know what I have and haven't owned. Move was nothing more than a Wiimote ripoff

yeahokwhatever1715d ago

SO MANY really great experiences for the Move. The Fight was excellent!

Silly gameAr1715d ago (Edited 1715d ago )

@Minute Man

There was a game called Dead Space Extraction that you could play the Move with.

@Orchard. Please don't reply to me, because every time I say something to you, I magically end up restricted. So, just ignore me like I ignore you, so there will be no hurt feelings, please.

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it..."

That is demostrably false.... Most VR games have motion controls and the PSVR uses the Move controllers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1715d ago (Edited 1715d ago )

VR games have a controller most of the time not some magic wand. And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect. I'm not a fan of VR either. A controller and a couch is all I need for my gaming needs.

Vanfernal1714d ago

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH

"And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect."

PSVR LITERALLY uses the Move controllers. Now it's just obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying Move failed and nobody uses it anymore when it's an integral part of PSVR and is still being used in 2021.

ScootaKuH1715d ago

It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.

Father__Merrin1714d ago

The move was excellent it was 1 to 1 precise time crisis was a joy to play aswell as sports champions it didn't hit mainstream as it was an addon unlike Nintendo wiimote

Lack of games that proved the concept that 3rd parties could then copy en masse?

Silly Mammo1714d ago

I wish that someone would have made a proper boxing game. I still have a blast with the Sports Champions boxing, but to have a boxing game that was more in-depth would have been awesome.

Dario_DC1714d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1715d ago

Because it was a uninspired ripoff of the Wii controller without the Nintendo library to back it and didn't try to put any real effort into development such as getting their top developers to make games for it and instead gave tech demos disguised as games to their least talented developers so the best can focus on single player only games.

Ryushaa1715d ago

Except the Move was an idea roughly implemented in the PS2. Yes, I'm serious.
Just search on youtube: PlayStation 2 - Motion Controller (2004)

Nonetheless, just like the whole Wii, it was more of a gimmick than a proper input evolution in games.

jukins1715d ago

Exactly. Its funny time and time again sony is the first innovate. Often at its own peril. Like your example the move started on ps2 taken advantage of by nintendo. Sony buys gakai for game streaming only for other companies to overtake them.

Profchaos1715d ago

Are you talking about the gametrak on os2 which used strings to track your hand position I used to have this and a gold game it was awesome but the game itself sucked if it had integration with tiger woods or something it would be way better the tracking was excellent even back then as it wasn't using guesswork.
However the game was very forgiving and no way to turn it harder and no licensed players or courses hurt it.

yeahokwhatever1715d ago

99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..

EvertonFC1715d ago

Socom, killzone, resistance and tiger wood 14 were great with the move but agree lacked more games.

yeahokwhatever1715d ago

There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.
