Playstation Move: It'll Move You

What makes the Playstation Move have the potential to be a lot more than a gimmick, is that they are not (they'ren't?) just making it for casuals, they are making it for hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike. Its precision allows you to do things that just wouldn't work well with the Wii, like online gaming or hardcore games like Socom 4, while still being able to have fun with not so serious games. It's taking motion controls to a whole new level.

that's one thing that the wiimote can be used for shooting games.

but there is other things that can be done with move that can't be done with the wiimote but shooting is not one of them.

Forbidden_Darkness5133d ago

Have you ever played a shooter on the wii? Its not really that fun and games like shooters dont sell well on the Wii compared to the PS3.

The Wii doesn't have that precision to play a game like socom anyways, not to its full extent, and the Wii's online is horrible at best.

Sunny_D5133d ago

Oh yeah baby, you know I like to move ;)

HaloReachGOTY5133d ago

I have nothing against the ps3 (Move) i think it's great to have a HD wii. Then again i'm more looking forward to Natal which is light years more Advanced and will revolutionize the way we play games.

Forbidden_Darkness5133d ago

Dont you mean Eye Toy Plus? How is it so advanced compared to the PS Move? I havent even seen anything besides smoke and mirrors for Natal thus far.

mrv3215133d ago

Your also looking forward to Reach so HD must not be your thing...

It's nice having an eyetoy for $100,

It will revolutionize video games IT REMOVED BUTTONS. I've seen more advanced NES controllers seriously... Buttons are a proven fact to be useful.

But hey look at me pointing out facts, like the fact that the burnout demo didn't even have analogue controls BRILLIANT.... it'll revolutionize games in a way we've not seen yet... it'll take them back a few generations. Light years more advanced? Than what the colossus, because I saw similar tech on the PS2.

Sunny_D5133d ago

Meh, somebody show that eyetoy video from 2002 or 2004 that showed the same light year features that Natal is supposedly showing.

zootang5132d ago (Edited 5132d ago )

The funny thing is Sony and Nintendo have both stated they could have gone with the Natal tech but chose not to. All MS have shown has been smoke and mirrors.

I got conned into buying a HD-DVD drive and 2 xboxs. What's that saying.... Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me

I'm waiting the Survival Horror exclusive for Move.

Maybe they will show something in E3.

Forbidden_Darkness5132d ago

You may just be in luck, on one of the videos shown on the PS website, theres a glimpse of what may be a survival horror game, maybe?

Heres a link to my thread, scroll down to the very bottom picture and you'll see what might be a survival horro game:

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies11h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6922h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker21h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6921h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt9h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken6h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
