Move Killed The Shooter

NextGN writes: "I got quite concerned the other day after playing MAG. You see, MAG is one of my favorite first person shooter games -- it's so great, in fact, that you cannot call yourself a fan of the genre if you don't already have it. I played MAG for hours on end, but wasn't really enjoying myself. Why? Because I sucked. My kill death ratio was 1:5, and would I usually end up with 3 kills to 15 deaths at the end of a match. What was I doing wrong? At first I thought, "hey, it's been awhile, maybe I just need to practice more", but after several hours, and some precision aiming, it finally hit me -- the problem aren't my skills, these people are using the PlayStation Move controllers."

It is utterly stupid that this option was not available from the start. FPS are becoming a joke and they need to fix this. This is just like using a dualshock against a keyboard and mouse.

Even though I have yet to use move. I still dont think it can match a mouse or DS3 controller. Since my experience with the conduit still did not offer the same precision even with the awesomely amount of settings.

eggbert5562d ago

Your assuming the Wii controller is just as accurate as the Move controller though. The Move controller is much more accurate, and the sensitivities you can set in KZ3 are insane. I'd still say the Mouse is overall better than a Move controller when it comes to precision aiming, but they are both leagues ahead of analog sticks.

whateva5562d ago

it just feels right you forget that you're even holding the move in your hand,

SodoBot5562d ago

Read all these articles absolutely boasting about Move in first person shooters, then this. It's almost like all the other blogs are just advertising the thing... this article talks about real issues with Move in the shooter genre. Yeah, sure... move may work perfectly and be a lot of fun, but what about the gamers who are happy playing with their ordinary controllers... completely unfair to them.

whateva5562d ago

can't beat us join us! or keep crying your choice.

blusoops5562d ago

Not really unfair if the controller is available to all. Just like some pc gamers have a better kb/m combo than others. It's been like that for years.

It would be unfair if someone hacked their controller or something. Plus I've played with move and it's not as easy as some say. It takes some getting used to and there's def a learning curve.

That said I will be playing with move from now on when available.

Wh15ky5562d ago (Edited 5562d ago )

Why the hell does this idiot (sodobot) have 6 agrees and only 2 disagrees?

"Yeah, sure... move may work perfectly and be a lot of fun, but what about the gamers who are happy playing with their ordinary controllers... completely
unfair to them."

WTF? Seriously? I want to hear from the people that agree with this. What you are basically saying is that you are happy to stick with your inferior control method (assuming that the Move works as well as people are claiming) because you are to stubborn to accept that a better method is available. This is hilarious. WTF kind of mentality is that?

Bell Boy5562d ago

I play GT5 with pad and not an expensive wheel set up in a man cave basement....do I complain about not winning every race NO....grow a pair you whiney kids

Move works very well but it may not be for everyone you just adapt...but o wait it's made by Sony so we must whine

I am worried that they think by providing this option they will divide the community. You may find servers with no-one, and vice versa.

KillerCucumber5562d ago (Edited 5562d ago )

I think you are right. A big concern that Sony might have is dividing their gamers.

@BrianG,

That means more snipers. :(

BrianG5562d ago

Good read,

But I still think that its a trade off and fair to play with both. I played both MAG and KZ3 with Move, and there is a learning curve.

But once you get over it from my experience you get better on screen aiming, but it then becomes more difficult to turn and aim quickly. The DS3 gives you that ability to turn very accurately, but sometimes its tough to pin point a target on screen.

Maybe they will separate players when enough have the Move controller and are using it for these games. But so far I've had good and bad matches with both, so my experience is pretty even.

DarkSharky5562d ago

Move gamers will still have a major advantage over DS3 gamers. This may encourage camping and sniping, and if that is the case, DS3 gamers don't stand a chance.

BrianG5562d ago

I can see where that would be a problem. But I haven't encountered that with KZ3 or MAG yet. Also DS3 players can camp and snipe.

I honestly feel that the Move doesn't make you a better gamer.

My typical KZ3 Beta match with DS3 was 12 kills and 6 deaths. I ran around and used machine guns. The same applied with Move, was getting 10 kills and 6 deaths, 12 and 6, best was 18 and 5 or something like that.

I was pretty okay at FPS before Move, and I didn't get better because of it. That tells me there has to be some sort of balance.

Kitchen_Sink5562d ago

The only reason I want to try the Move is for Heavy Rain. Otherwise it doesn't interest me. I have a Nintendo Wii.

xc7x5562d ago

i think these complaints are funny,first everyone dismissed Move as a gimmick now peeps complain it hinders them against others using it. where are all the people now that thought this wouldn't help the gamer?

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic533d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23533d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1533d ago (Edited 533d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger523d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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.

jznrpg575d ago

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

Cacabunga574d ago

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

just_looken573d ago

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

Relientk77575d ago

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

Lexreborn2574d ago

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

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1099d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1099d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1099d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491098d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381099d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1099d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1099d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381099d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1099d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761099d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1099d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301099d ago (Edited 1099d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1099d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1099d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1099d ago (Edited 1099d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1099d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1099d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
