PlayStation Move's Ace In The Hole: PlayStation Network (RunDLC)

Like many gamers, I’m both curious and on the proverbial fence about PlayStation Move. The peripheral’s great. I had the privilege of testing it before launch and think it has loads of potential. I’m just disappointed with the initial software lineup. The flagship title, Sports Champions, doesn’t hold my attention long, and there’s little about Kung Fu Rider and Start the Party that excites me. It’s OK if you disagree, since a lot of people are happy with the device and its games. But I need something else to pry $99.99 from my wallet, some glimmer of hope that leads me to believe that Sony intends to make the most of its new toy, and it appears that I have the perfect answer. PlayStation Network.

They are already at it. They should publish majority of the Move games on PSN. Saves developers some money, and they don't have to worry about used game sales.

CrzyFooL4949d ago

That shadow moving game is fkng cool. It also hurts my brain.

doa7664949d ago

this is repost of my comment on that site;

I just created this account so I can tell you how misinformed and wrong you are:

-dead space extraction comes included on the same blu ray as the main game, it's NOT a PSN download, I don't know where you got that, on blu rays there's plenty of room and there's no need for voucher code to download stuff like it happens on the 360 with DVDs

-you need something else besides sport champions, kung fu rider and start the party? what about Heavy Rain, MAG, High Velocity Bowling and Resident Evil 5 gold edition, all these games support Move and you didn't mention any of them

-what about gran turismo 5, killzone 3, RUSE and little big planet 2? all those games support Move and you still think that PSN's 10 or 15 dollars games are Move's ace in the hole? you have no idea what you're saying

-sport champions is incredibly fun and addictive, I used to think that would suck until I got it and now I think it's great, so you shouldn't talk about the quality of games you haven't play for more than a few minutes with brief demos

Pedobear Rocks4949d ago (Edited 4949d ago )

that SONY want's it used in big retail releases it truly is meant to get the family crowd. Smaller $15 PSN downloadable games are much more attractive to a family buying games for their kids than a $60 M rate game imo.

As for Extraction being on disc... that is ONLY with the LE version...regular DS2 doesn't have it...it'll be a sepearte purchasable PSN game...

From Joystiq:

The PlayStation 3 version's high-definition graphics are a straightforward (if unambitious) improvement, but the wider distribution via the PlayStation Network, and through Limited Edition PS3 copies of next year's Dead Space 2, offers the greatest opportunity to connect with new players.

From the official PSN blog:

Dead Space: Extraction will ship on the Dead Space 2: Limited Edition Blu-ray disc on January 25th, and will be available separately as a PSN download.

idiot who?

xino4949d ago

"Don’t get me wrong. More games will hit store shelves in the coming months, from The Shoot to Time Crisis: Razing Storm, but PlayStation Network could hold the key to the Move’s legacy. "

so why the hell should hardcore gamers wait for trash games from those list?

Save your money, play some games for Oct:
Enslaved
Quantum Theory
Lords of Shadow
Medal of Honor
Reach
etc

buy the movie dec 2010 or 2011, what is the point in buying the move whereas there isn't any hardcore titles for it?
do you really wanna re-buy Gold Edition?
or are you lucky to have a Gold edition?
are you lucky to have
RUSE? Heavy Rain?

Mind you heavy rain is not even playable with move control layout!
some point it will ask you to press and hold Circle, Triangle+Move button.
good luck with that one, you would have to put down the Nav Controller or 6 Aixs.

Also it all cost too much!
*£40 Move starter kit
*£30 charger kit
*£20 Navigation controller
*£-- bunch of piece of trash Move games such as Sports Champion.

go to the farking gym or sport centre to play a real sport.

we want hardcore games!

Cajun Chicken4949d ago

Charger unit? Just use a USB cable! My mate does.

Also, hardly no games actually NEED the navigation controller yet.

Pedobear Rocks4949d ago

need a charger kit or a nav controller.

jneul4948d ago

Noticed reach up there....go to x360 section pls
On topic: had you noticed that maybe we have the money now for move and a game and for later months we can still take our pick from that list if we want, for example I have move and still plan on getting castlevania

amiga-man4948d ago

Xino,i can respect your opinion, but can't agree with you.
i have move, and have had a great time with it, my mate who bought one after using it, and we have had some real tense battles in sports champions, my brother who owns an xbox ( but is no way a fanboy i might add) has spent the last 3 days trying to beat me, and has also had hours of fun, as for hardcore time will tell but Move has proved itself as great addition to my ps3 controllers.

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.

Dead Space Extraction better than the original Dead Space?

Okaaaaay...

lucian229633d ago

I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.

Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.

MIDGETonSTILTS17633d ago

Play Alien Isolation on Hard or Nightmare.

Start on the movie DLC so that you don’t have to play a bunch of campaign in order to find out if you’ll be scared.

lucian229633d ago

I heard that was a good one. Honestly vr games scare me with jump scares because of how the threat feels real.

MIDGETonSTILTS17633d ago

There isn’t an official VR mode, unfortunately.

The audio should pull you right in if you use headphones.

CDbiggen633d ago

Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.

VersusDMC633d ago

Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.

Xenial633d ago

As simple as 1,2,3.

Extraction, then Ignition.

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.

SullysCigar956d 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.

bouzebbal956d ago

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

thorstein956d ago

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

Bigman4k956d ago (Edited 956d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH957d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS957d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH957d 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 721956d 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??

yeahokwhatever956d 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.

SullysCigar956d 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.

LordoftheCritics957d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH957d 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?

Profchaos956d ago

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

RedDevils956d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics957d ago (Edited 957d 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.

956d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH956d ago

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

thorstein956d 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 gameAr956d 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 721956d ago

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

Orchard956d 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_Bomb956d ago (Edited 956d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH956d 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

yeahokwhatever956d ago

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

Silly gameAr956d ago (Edited 956d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH956d ago (Edited 956d 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.

Vanfernal956d 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.

ScootaKuH956d ago

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

Father__Merrin956d 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 Mammo956d 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_DC956d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy957d 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.

Ryushaa957d 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.

jukins957d 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.

Profchaos956d 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.

yeahokwhatever956d ago

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

EvertonFC957d ago

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

yeahokwhatever956d ago

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