The calibration can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but overall, this is one nice piece of hardware!

Cevapi884967d ago

don't freak out when you take your tv, ps3, and move outside and try to play a game....

poopsack4967d ago

Im pretty sure this man (Cevapi) was being sarcastic

hakis864966d ago

But you never know! A few weeks back some idiots were outside in the sun with their beercans and PSMove - and "OMG the calibration doesn't work!!!" (although the move kinda worked, haha :-) ).

Cevapi884966d ago

are people really this slow?? i was calling out the idiots who took the move outside with their ps3 and tv....this is why people lose faith in humanity....people cant laugh things off

AKS4966d ago (Edited 4966d ago )

Not only did this thing not work well outside in bright daylight, its performance was terrible underwater when I tried using it at a pool party I just threw. Major disappointment.

WildArmed4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

Because taking your 'TV' and Ps3 out in the sun makes soo much sense..
esp. if you are a HDTV owner, I doubt you'd want to move it bcoz you feel like playing Move outside..

*sighs* Only if SOCOM4/Dead Space 2/K2 would come out earlier I wouldn't be stuck mainly playing Demos until their release! >:)

jjacinto234967d ago

The calibration is only takes 5 seconds........OFF TOPIC i was playing the Glladiator and the archery with TWO MOVE and i like it how it feels.... shoot is amazing too the only game that i didn't pay attention is the Kung Fu Rider and "get fit will mel B" so far i love the move

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4966d ago

The Calibration only takes like 5 seconds.

"Playstation Move for Playstation 3 is Available this Wednesday the 17th September for €39.99 stand alone or €59.99 bundled with the Playstation Eye"
Somebody needs to look at a calendar more often.

WildArmed4967d ago

lmfao +bubs

I think the guy is still stuck in '08.
17th Sept was a Wednesday in 2008.

T9X694967d ago

Well at least they got the actual date right of Sept 17, that woman on Fox news said the 19th, but then again the way she was talking, she seemed a little "slow".

WildArmed4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

Major retailers are listing it as 17th Sept 2010(!)

While SONY is listing it as 19th Sept 2010*

* http://blog.us.playstation....

So actually, the Fox News 'reporter'(i think that was the word you were looking for ^^ ) was right on the mark

T9X694966d ago

Ahh I see, well either Sony is slow and don't know their own release date, or major retailers are stupid lol.

DigitalRaptor4966d ago

Hello? Region specific relase dates anyone?

Mainland Europe - 15th September
UK - 17th September
North America - 19th September
Japan - 21st September

MachinaMaw4967d ago

It would be cool if you could detach the glowing ball and throw it around.

memots4967d ago

Would you like to smack those balls around too?
glowing balls excite you?

Army_of_Darkness4967d ago

Oh yeah man! its the smartest thing ever!! spend $59 for the move controller just to detach the glowing ball and smash it to little itsy bitsy pieces!!!
F#@Kin brilliant idea bro......

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

If that happen, then Sony would sell Glowing balls to buy for less than $5.

gta_manic4966d ago

@ ALFAxD_CENTAURO
Ya and M$ would sell them for $50, also just curious, would the ball end rip or detached easily, I've never had those balls in my hands(ya i just did that)

darkequitus4966d ago

I guest I have been off the ball. I did not realize it was being released so soon.
I want that Sorcery game, so it is going to be a $130 + game investment. I put off buy until its release date. They may have a bundle then.

GrooveChampion4966d ago

Wouldn't it only cost $140 since it's a first party game and you don't need a nav-controller? You can use a dualshock/sixaxis instead.

The Sports Champion bundle is $99 right now. Sorcery is first party and supposedly those are going to be $40 if it's move only.

darkequitus4966d ago

I did a dummy runny holding the sixaxis in my hand. I don't like it. I'd prefer to spend the $30 and get the sub-controller. I suppose there is no harm getting the sports bundle now and the sub when sorcery comes out.

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.

SullysCigar950d 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.

bouzebbal950d ago

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

thorstein950d ago

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

Bigman4k950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH951d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS950d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d 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 721950d 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??

yeahokwhatever950d 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.

SullysCigar950d 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.

LordoftheCritics950d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d 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?

Profchaos950d ago

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

RedDevils950d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics950d ago (Edited 950d 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.

950d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago

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

thorstein950d 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 gameAr950d 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 721950d ago

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

Orchard950d 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_Bomb950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d 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

yeahokwhatever950d ago

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

Silly gameAr950d ago (Edited 950d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago (Edited 950d 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.

Vanfernal950d 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.

ScootaKuH950d ago

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

Father__Merrin950d 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 Mammo950d 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_DC950d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy951d 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.

Ryushaa951d 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.

jukins951d 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.

Profchaos950d 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.

yeahokwhatever950d ago

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

EvertonFC951d ago

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

yeahokwhatever950d 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.

CDbiggen953d ago

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

MadLad953d 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?

mkis007953d ago

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

Knightofelemia953d 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.

neutralgamer1992953d ago

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

953d ago
neutralgamer1992953d 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

MadLad953d 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.

franwex953d ago

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

neutralgamer1992953d 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 Logic953d 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.

MadLad953d ago (Edited 953d 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.
