More than 40 original Move exclusive titles? That's a lot. I wonder why they weren't in the list.

As of now I don't think either Move or Kinect have any 'must buy' titles. If I was to buy one of them I'd probably hold off for a year or so to see what more is in store software wise. Same as I do with most console launches. And as with other consoles we'll most likely see pretty big price drops for both around this time next year.

"Including retail and PSN games patched to support the peripheral, Move launched with a total of 15 Move compatible games. Today Microsoft has announced it’s lineup of 17 games for Kinect’s release."

Move = QUALITY. games of different genre, casual and hardcore games

Kinect = QUANTITY. sports, fitness, dance, pew-pew-pew shooters and arm-flailing games

Made me bust a gut. Casuals will be more focused on software that was built from the ground up for said motion device. A company shouldn't even bother marketing a motion game unless it was designed from the ground up for the tech(not patched in motion support for traditional controller based games and design)

But I do disagree about Kinect not having must have games. Your Shape, Kinect Adventures and Dance Central are proving to be very popular and desired titles(AAA must have games)

@Cratos- NEITHER Move or Kinect have that must-have Blockbuster game yet...so I don't know what the hell your talking about.

"Yeah but at least Move support will be offered for games like LBP2, Killzone 3, Socom4, infamous2, GT5 and so on. I am actually hoping that Sony makes more games like Kung Fu Live just to spite Kinect and prove that the PSeye can do the same thing."

Infamous 2 hasn't been confirmed to have Move support yet. The only two Move games that have intrigued me are Socom 4 and Sorcery. Neither of them are coming out this year. Dance Central for Kinect intrigues me as well. I don't know why theres a CONSTANT struggle on this site to pit Move and Kinect as competition. Don't know about anyone else...but I can EASILY see myself enjoying both for different reasons.

And the ongoing struggle of fanboys trying to prove which penis is slightly longer than 2 inches rages on....

It's true, there will be a lot of the same types of games with Kinect because the controls are limited to the same types of gestures and control schemes. You will see MANY dance games and MANY fitness games, don't get me wrong that isn't all kinect can do but it is something you will see a lot of.

To me Kinect is just what the ipod is to games. An expensive mini game device that core gamers don't want.

I disagree that casuals want games built from the ground up! Gamers in general want something that cost the least amount of money. On that note people would be surprised at the percentage of casuals that actually opted to get a ps3 earlier on for the media capabilities inherent in the ps3, instead of buying each media component separate which in turn would ultimately cost more. All casuals are not braindead consumers, most are pretty frugal to be honest.

OT: To be honest, the games made for kinect are for the most part too shallow! Once completed I don't see to many people going back to replay it's games.
The move also has shallow games! But because it has been shown to work across different genre it offer more variety, not just for the casuals, but for core gamers as well. Because it can be proficiently used in hardcore titles, as well we so aptly like to call them. It may yet be the moves main selling point.

@ niceguy,
"Casuals will be more focused on software that was built from the ground up for said motion device."
Do you really think casuals know the difference between games being built from the ground up for motion controls, because i dont.

They are not consoles, they are accessories. Barring prices and clearance sales, accessories generally don't go down in price unless they flop. Case in point: controllers for all three consoles are the same price now as when they launched. The PSEye is the same price now as when it launched (and sorry to say it, but other than its inclusion with Move, the PSEye was not exactly a raging success).

Yeah, but those are the current games available when it was launched Move.

Besides, the games for Move of this Month:

John Daly's ProStroke Golf
NBA 2K11
SingStar Dance
The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest
The Shoot
TV Superstars

And for November, like other 10 games more.

Time Crisis: Razing Storm (which includes 2 Full games for free, so add 2 games in the list).
The Fight: Lights Out
PlayStation Move Heroes
Tron Evolution
Dungeon Defenders (PSN)
And more

And for December, more bunch of games.

I was wondering about that, too. Why compare what's out now with what will be out then. If at all, they should compare what will be out for Move when Kinect releases.

O.K. we all talk about M$oft being evil or wrong for spending money on marketing kinect to casuals...

We complain about not enough hardcore software for kinect at launch.

We say things like there is no replay value in kinect launch titles....

We have some how bought in to Sony's clevery designed paid bloggers idea of what kind of game is fun...

Look I don't know many people that don't enjoy either dancing themselves or watching somebody else dance "ULTIMATE REPLAY VALUE"
and with no crap in your hands and no buttons to push "ULTIMATE IMMERSION"

I don't know too many women that wouldn't love to get a virtual fitness trainer where ther were no buttons to push and it shows you your form vs. the correct form.

Look there are some things that by there very nature kinect will be better at than move or wii... i.e. things that are prohibative when things are in your hand alah dancing and excercise..

We have more hardcore titles coming next year on kinect and more original title coming on the move....

a patched game is not a good example of everthing move can do and very few titles on kinects first wave really show its potential so I just want to see what they can do with them in the next wave of software...So that both M$oft and Sony can stop Selling Dreams.

douchedebater5691d ago

Move games = Mostly patched games that were already release that had their controllers remapped to be move compatable which makes some of them cumbersome and somewhat akward.

Move's title numbers are being subsidized by several move ready games and not many MOVE designed games.

Kinect games = Games designed from the ground up to be kinect compatable.

I agree it's still a move compatable title, but lets call it what it is. You couldn't use move with pain, HR, RE5, or TW when they were first launched so technically they are not "Move" games because Move is not required. Can you play sports champions without move, that's what I thought, that's because sports champion is a "MOVE" game. MS could throw in a bunch of voice commands to a bunch of games and call them Kinect compatable too, but the PS3 crowd would call foul.

Anyway, just a question.

Re-releasing existing titles with Move or Kinect support should not be counted as launch titles. RE5, Heavy Rain, MAG, etc.

And Kinect is a lot more then just games. It is going to be large part of a dashboard upgrade and home video messaging tool.

Why not? Move makes those titles a new experience. Or is it, because patching in is a bit hard for Kinect?

Let me think. Move: shooters, rail shooters, party games, platformers, puzzles, RTSs, adventure games, sports. Kinect: Mini games, Harry Potter on rails, boarding games,dance games and 'hardcore' games we have yet to see in action. Nope, Kinect wins definately. I can see why everyone wants it. The variety and quality of games are staggering at best. So many choices. And please stop saying Kinect is better because it has games made from the ground up. Not sure why that is an advantage. Sony will get more 3rd party support because their Move can be intergrated into their games. That is why Move is used in RE5, RUSE, Dead Space 2, Toy Story 3, Tron Evolution, Oddworld Stranger and maybe even Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 and Kinect doesn't. Sorry.

Kinect might have an advantage from case to case. Volleyball might be pretty good with Kinect. Those dance games probably, too. There are a view I would prefer not to hold a controller of any kind. But I think those are very limited.

OTHO, people buy guitars and other equipment for just one (or two) games.

VirtuaTennis Move OTHO is a very compelling argument into the other direction.

Volleyball is pretty good with a volleyball. It won't be good with Kinect. Dancing games on the Move and Kinect will be the same.

Ju5691d ago

Volleyball works actually pretty well with Move. But I am wondering why I'd need to hold a controller there. Dance games the same. No need for a controller when you can track the whole body.

The dilemma here is still how to control menus without device, though. Still doesn't work well with Kinect.

clintos595691d ago

Reason why I say this is because the ps move has titles out for casuals and hardcore gamers where as kinect seems to be aiming more for the casuals. The thing that I know about ps move that made me buy it was because I know that sony wont disappoint us hardcore fans where as for kinect it hasnt showed anything that makes me want to go out & buy it. Kinect has potential but as of right now, there aint nuttin on there that a hardcore gamer such as myself is interested in.

kinetic1005691d ago

for me personaly, i prefer move. And thats just because it adds something to games that i play. Kinect seems more of a gimmic device and aimed at a younger age group. I am sure my 6 year old would love kinect. the same way she loved the eyetoy for awhile. However she never asks to play on it anymore and prefers LBP, R&C, sonic and mario. Therefore i will not even be swayed into buying her an xbox and kinect for christmas. However i do see kinect selling well at christmas, but i feel it will soon wear off as even kids will get bored with it. My little girl is 6 and all the talk in her school is for the 3DS, not Kinect.

I'm still not a fan of move I want to see some move exclusive games not ds3 games patched as they don't use the controller as it should be. Once I see more mmove only games I'll pick one up. Looking forward to kinect though for the family to use and for the media side too.

Since the Move also has family oriented, Move exclusive games as well as media applications, would it be safe to say that you aren't a fan of the Move because you are a fan of Microsoft first and foremost?

Sad to say it's also a two way street! People will hate anything playstation and vice-a-versa. If I felt that microsoft was doing this for the benefit of the gamers at large then ok, but after hearing of 500 million dollars being spent on this if not so sure! And I think people really need to pay attention to what will potentially happen next. I think microsoft will be willing to do anything to make this "PIG FLY" even at the expense of it's fanbase! Why do people believe they're putting so much focus back into pc? Because it's an experiment! And sadly their core gamers are the guinea pigs.
