Impressive Start For The PlayStation Move

Rsuer Saldana writes: When the Move hit shelves several weeks ago, there wasn't much available for it: just a handful of new games, a few existing titles patched for Move support, and a demo disc. Despite the lack of software, the Move stands out as a responsive motion controller and an excellent product overall. It’s easy to look at the titles available now and dismiss the Move as nothing more than a Wii HD or gimmicky peripheral, but after spending some time with the controller and seeing what developers are doing with it, it’s obvious to me that the Move is headed in the right direction.

It's been great so far for Move-centric games, but there have been a few let downs including MAG.

Keith Olbermann5709d ago

I havent tried it yet but am interested. What sucks about it?

limewax5709d ago

apparently it feels similar to keyboard and mouse in a way so I guess unless you were a PC gamer before it feels very alien

TheOldOne5709d ago

its just hard to use and takes time to get use to.

BryanBegins5709d ago

Yes I just bought MAG because it was only $29 and I wanted to play with Move. It's good but god it's hard to adjust. I'm getting owned all the time.

Keith Olbermann5709d ago

do you think you could get better with it over time? I really want to try it.

RankFTW5709d ago

Infact on MAG it is awesome, think the OP just needs to practice more. I've played FPS with a keyboard and mouse since Quake 2 in 1997 and using Move is alot closer to that combo than a DS3 is.

Biggest5709d ago

In fairness to the Move, MAG isn't the most noob friendly game around. If you're new to MAG, expect to get destroyed regardless of controller.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5709d ago

It only suck for people who don't have Skills to play MAG with Move.

JoeReno5709d ago

I've been playing MAG 2.0/2.1 with Move and have scored some of my highest xp games yet. I don't think it sucks at all. Feels a lot more natural to me, and I don't have my common twitch reflex that I have with the DS3.

BryanBegins5709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

Oh I forgot, this is N4G, the land of only skilled players. So yes I suck cause I have no skill... Whatever man, never said it sucked, I said it was hard.

@Keith: I'm sure that after a couple of hours it'll actually be better using Move. But for now, new to MAG+Move=getting owned.

i think it does have move support I remember reading it somewhere. But even if it did, a steering wheel is the best way to play any racing sim.

air15709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

why not? you are most def. going to have controller support..

i agree with theoldone.. but i think its cool to have support for all 3, i mean why not?

BryanBegins5709d ago

lol it always make me laugh to see people wishing for less features! You hate the Move support in a game like GT5? Fine, just use a controller! Geez, start complaining if it's Move only. It's like people bitching at 3D movies when they can simply go and watch the movie in 2D.

dirtydbz5709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

gt5 has eye support not move support but people have started to group the eye as part of the move experience ( cause it is ) but I'm not sure exactly how it works all I know is it tracks your head ( but if you move your head too much you won't be looking at the tv)
so your guess is as good as mine

limewax5709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

Chill out man, its not because I dont want it to support all three as such, just honestly think that anyone playing this on move would be at such a huge disadvantage that it would be better off not there at all. However if its there then will look forward to finding out on release day

By the way I beleive the camera feature is mostly to make use of the ever annoying 'im not turning hard enough so Im going to lean with it' habit lol. I think its brilliant, Im buying the eye to see this in use when I play it. Plus I enjoy looking at the cars interior on the empty straights

Runes Factory Oceans uses the PS Move, hope it comes to EU/US

http://playstationlifestyle...

AceofStaves5709d ago

I've played a couple of the 'Rune Factory' titles. If 'Oceans' does release here, I'll pick it up, Move or no Move.

plb5709d ago

Just give me Sorcery please Sony. Oh and KZ3 and LBP2.

Agent-865709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

What about a lightsaber game? The damn thing almost looks like one and the ball could glow the same color as your onscreen lightsaber. Use the Nav Controller or DS in your left hand for movement while swinging away with the Move as the lightsaber. Plus the Move has rumble feedback so you could "feel" the whacks. Man, Sony really should be in talks with LucasArts to make one; it would be so much better than that "on-rails" Kinect StarWars game coming out.

BryanBegins5709d ago

Dude, I agree with you. As soon as I held the Move in my hand, I was like: I want it to be a lightsaber!

jerethdagryphon5709d ago

force unleashed 2 would have been perfect one saber (move mirrors for the other) a nav controller and use the fave buttons for powers

ooh the ball could stat dark red and then switch to blue or whatever color your savber is

cochise3135709d ago

i'm still on the fence about this. i have to try it first. if anything i'll get it for socom and KZ3. it does look very promising though. let's hope sony give it the right support.

air15709d ago (Edited 5709d ago )

cant wait to get mine

hey busta..

im sure you are following me look at this thread and compare it to all the kinect will fail posts..

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.

jznrpg594d ago

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

Cacabunga593d ago

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

just_looken593d ago

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

Relientk77594d ago

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

Lexreborn2594d 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.

SullysCigar1723d ago

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.

bouzebbal1722d ago

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

thorstein1723d ago

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

Bigman4k1723d ago (Edited 1723d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1723d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1723d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1723d 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 7211723d 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??

yeahokwhatever1723d 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.

SullysCigar1723d 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.

LordoftheCritics1723d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1723d 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?

Profchaos1723d ago

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

RedDevils1723d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1723d ago (Edited 1723d 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.

1723d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1723d ago

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

thorstein1723d 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 gameAr1723d 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 7211723d ago

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

Orchard1723d 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_Bomb1723d ago (Edited 1723d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1723d 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

yeahokwhatever1723d ago

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

Silly gameAr1723d ago (Edited 1723d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1723d ago (Edited 1723d 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.

Vanfernal1723d 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.

ScootaKuH1723d ago

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

Father__Merrin1723d 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 Mammo1722d 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_DC1722d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1723d 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.

Ryushaa1723d 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.

jukins1723d 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.

Profchaos1723d 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.

yeahokwhatever1723d ago

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

EvertonFC1723d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1723d ago

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