From actual people who played the game. All positive responses

It's good to see the reaction of normal folks who tried the Move.

Jaces5054d ago

It's amazing the feedback it's getting. If anything I hope it doesnt end up being a fad for the first year then end up never being played again (wii), hope they build on MOVE as much as possible.

Seferoth755054d ago

Jaces If it does get played like the Wii it will double the PS3 play time to actually out of last place.
Since you can act like a random famitsu poll of 300 people is the same as 75 million I can take the nielson next gen play times of a much broader range of gamers as complete fact as well

PS3 was doing so bad at one point the original xbox was getting more play time. Still havent seen any proof that the PS3 gets more play time than the Wii. I mean PS3 bundles just about every major game, their games get heavy discounts early and they still fail to achieve the numbers of games like Halo3 or SMG and those games came out when the install base for those consoles was lower than the PS3 is now, yet the PS3 still cant match the software sales of either console.

shqype5053d ago

I remember my cousins were so excited for the Wii, they got one as soon as it was available. They played it and they loved it... for a while. Six months later they stopped using it, and it has been collecting dust since. It really was like a fad that was short lived, compared to both the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, which are still used by most of their owners years after they were purchased.

Anyway, to stay on topic, it was interesting to see the response Move was getting. However, I would have preferred if they demoed some of the more hardcore games as well. If Sorcery and SOCOM 4 were on display, that would truly be an epic experience!

PLAYWATCH5053d ago

The PS3 has sold more software this past year than the Xbox360. 115 million to 103 million copies. Take your misinformation someplace else. FYI this is not 2007.

boodybandit5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

I'm sold.
Picking up 2 sets day 1!

Hideo_Kojima5054d ago

i thought u had to be in the business to get into E3 :-/

Parapraxis5053d ago

Sony was demoing it at a few Best Buys.

saint_john_paul_ii5054d ago

oh look!!! real people, not celebrities!!!

deadreckoning6665054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Real people testing out new products? BLASPHEMY!

Edit: Holy crap! Start the Party is the s**t!

maddhatter1235054d ago

celebrities are the only people that know what is best for us. :)

funny! ... and sad at the same time. +Plus bubs for you!

HolyOrangeCows5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

If Tom Hanks hadn't advised me on who to vote for, I might have voted for a 3rd party! Good thing he saved us.

/s

BubZ-SkullY5054d ago

the fact that this is not a sony video is why it not celebrity endorsed, and maybe if it was you might have seen celebs. But hey this video confirms me getting the move, i don't think the site is a sony fanboy site so i will see this vid as 100% real people, not actors trying out the move for the first time.

And that guy that has 8 PS3!! talk about support thats ridiculous i only have my launch 40gb and its still goin strong, he has to spend, maybe he has a big family.

The accuracy is what i wanted to hear from the people the most, cos i don't want it to be like the wii, don't get me wrong i enjoy playing the wii and i have played it several time, i dont own one though, but i have to say certain actions need to be repeated to get it right.

I appreciate Nintendo for being the first to come out with this motion stuff, it allows others like microsoft and sony to further improve them and make them even better. Sony alrady did it with eyetoy but not alot of people were ready for motion gaming without controllers, now microsoft are trying to improve that which i think is a great concept, and if they fix the lag issues show us actual LIVE gameplay for non-fitness related games then they will be good.

Sony on the other hand took the wii remote and improved it greatly with 1:1 motion tracking which alot of people have said and seen is great, its a good move on their behalf because everyone would be used to its concept because of the wii, the only thing is alot of casual gamers won't be attract to the full price of the ps3 if they don't already own one, considering that the wii is that cheap and it does motion gaming almost as good as sony's move.

all in all i will purchase move since i only have the ps3, but i am not a serious fanboy although i really want sony to do well, and deliver content we neeed on the psn and for the ps3

dc15054d ago

Well said Bubz +plus Bubble for you.

This video is the best form of advertising a company can possible have.
- Independent
- Neutral location
- Genuine

(I will be picking up the move as well)

BubZ-SkullY5053d ago

thanks mate, sometimes things have to be said how it is, not because of what console its on, all 3 major consoles have potential its how they go about deliver it to the best is what we gamers need. thanks again for the bubbles..

Moonboots5054d ago

aaaannnddd.. I got a Subway gift card...

aaaannnddd.. I got a Playstation T-Shirt...

aaaaannddd..

that kid was funny but kinda revealing as well.. :)

The impressions seemed pretty genuine and it's good Sony isn't shy like another company we know.. I want the PS3 and Move to be successful as well. Agreed.

BubZ-SkullY5053d ago

times like these i wish i lived in america, lol, but seriously everthing comes out there first. NOT COOL

Bigpappy5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Most are gamers who already own a PS3. The mom will be getting Move for the kids who already have a PS3. I will be interesting to see how many PS3's the Move move.

If Sony can sell enouth of the PS3 + Move to Wii only users and casuals as a whole, they would have succeeded at upstaging M$ with Kinect. They have about 1 1/2 month head start. If M$ gets their kiosk in stores early October, then that may not be a big advantage for Sony. Having some one on hand to help people learn how to use the controller and play the demos did get things moving along quite well.

nefertis5054d ago

Oh boy this can get ugly, soccer mom and child will be all over this , this holiday season. D1B for me.

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.

SullysCigar948d 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.

bouzebbal948d ago

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

thorstein948d ago

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

Bigman4k948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH949d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS949d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH949d 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 721948d 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??

yeahokwhatever948d 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.

SullysCigar948d 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.

LordoftheCritics949d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH949d 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?

Profchaos948d ago

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

RedDevils948d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics949d ago (Edited 949d 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.

948d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH948d ago

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

thorstein948d 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 gameAr949d 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 721948d ago

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

Orchard948d 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_Bomb948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH948d 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

yeahokwhatever948d ago

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

Silly gameAr948d ago (Edited 948d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH948d ago (Edited 948d 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.

Vanfernal948d 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.

ScootaKuH948d ago

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

Father__Merrin948d 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 Mammo948d 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_DC948d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy949d 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.

Ryushaa949d 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.

jukins949d 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.

Profchaos948d 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.

948d ago Replies(2)
yeahokwhatever948d ago

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

EvertonFC949d ago

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

yeahokwhatever948d ago

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

These PS3 Games are Going to get Really Expensive

Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.

CDbiggen951d ago

There's a reason I didn't buy most of these when they came out.

MadLad951d ago

After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.

What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?

mkis007951d ago

Emulation doesn't stop a games physical box from becoming collectible.

Knightofelemia951d ago

I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.

neutralgamer1992951d ago

In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed

951d ago
neutralgamer1992951d ago

Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already

And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time

MadLad951d ago

Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.

Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.

franwex951d ago

I got mine for $5 at Walmart like 10 years ago. I have yet to play it.

neutralgamer1992951d ago

It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems

You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years

Mr Logic951d ago

Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

MadLad951d ago (Edited 951d ago )

@neutral

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.

I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.

I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.
