500 degrees and one minute? What the...

Maxned4319d ago

It's gotta be some kind of glitch. I've never seen this, especially for something not-so-newsworthy

MAJ0R4319d ago

You underestimate how popular Okami is, especially with the announcement of Playstation Move support?

Maxned4319d ago

@MAJ0R

No... This was announced over a day ago and was the top news story at that time. This is the same exact thing.

Do you actually think something that came out in only 1 minute got 500 degrees with no glitch?

The proof is right there. It's been 20 minutes and now the degrees is at 510.

^ I am pretty sure it's a method of boosting your own story on N4G somehow, which could get you banned from N4G. I remember somebody telling me about it once

hulk_bash19874319d ago (Edited 4319d ago )

Okami was one of the great gems of the PS2 era. So yeah, an HD remake is a pretty newsworthy thing.

Sony/Capcom: Please release a vita version. Using the vitas touch screen for the celestial brush actions just seems like a great fit.

Sony fanboys "this wasn't meant for the wii, it feels great with the thumbsticks"

2012 - "This will be wonderful with the PS wand, put it on the Vita for the back touch screen too"

"Ocarina of Time is simply a means of milking the franchise, despite completely redoing the graphics engine and redesigning the world."
"sly cooper, okami, god of war, mgs, ico, shadow of the colossus, ratchet and clank." all those games that simply had readjusted resolutions were fine. Can't wait to buy uncharted trilogy Superduper HD pack on the ps4

PirateThom4319d ago

Why are you so upset?

And it would work better with the front screen on Vita.

darthv724319d ago

i dont sense any feeling of being upset. What i do see is the typical double standard for games.

As in, if a game was on one platform and became highly regarded and then was available on another platform. Seem all of a sudden the game isnt as regarded anymore.

If you like the game then you would think you would "like the game" not so much the platform the game is on.

okami on ps2 = good. okami on wii = bad. okami hd on ps3 = good again. And yet in all 3 examples it is still okami.

himdeel4319d ago (Edited 4319d ago )

I'd prefer this game on Vita but welcome it on PS3.

kikizoo4319d ago

Only dumb fanboyz are dreaming of sony's fans saying "wii : bad", they don't care about others consoles (unlike X360delusional&haters fanboyz, and some nintendo's ones)

ChickeyCantor4318d ago (Edited 4318d ago )

"Only dumb fanboyz are dreaming of sony's fans saying "wii : bad"

Must be a new batch of people then?
Ever since 2006 PS3 and 360 fans have been bashing the Wii.
And it looks like people like you are just covering it up.

I don't care what person X thinks of console Y. But clearly people are spinning the BS that has been plaguing N4G for years. And it looks like that every 5 years people seem to change their tune.

Looking at the disagrees he got. I think that is just ridiculous. Cause those same people surely bashed the Wii way back Wednesday.

@PirateThom below
That's the point. People bashed the wii-mote. But now it's cool it's on Move?
Double standards =).

Machioto4319d ago (Edited 4319d ago )

Are you angry because it's coming to the ps3 and what does the last part have to do with anything?

darthv724319d ago

i think what the admiral was going on about was that when the game was coming out for the wii, the gamers that played the original okami said it just didnt seem right. As in to not only take this great game and port it to the wii but to also make it a motion type of game.

So now that it is coming to the ps3 with move support...its okay that the game is given motion control. See the kind of double standard there?

I mean it is just the way things are. people will try to downplay something that isnt on their platform as if to say they dont care. Yet when their platform gets a copy they are all happy.

As for the last part of his post....yeah i dont know about that. Unless he is just going off at the whole hd remake thing in general. I personally dont mind them.

DigitalAnalog4319d ago (Edited 4319d ago )

Maybe you place to much emphasis on "gamers". Are they of the collective "hive" mind group? Just because a bunch of "gamers" said that the Wii version didn't seem right doesn't mean the entire spectrum of "gamers" came to that consensus. How do you know that the ones supportive of the Move are the ones that have something to do with double-standard?

A-Glorious-Dawn4319d ago

@DigitalAnalog

Very good point. There is a double standard among fanboys in general, obviously.

But to spin this argument out on the people supportive of move intigration is short sighted.
How do you know they are the same people who were complaining? also, why even bother to care?

ChickeyCantor4318d ago

@A-Glorious.

It's pretty evident when everyone was complaining about how bad it was on the Wii.

I think that the same people were jumping on wagons and eventually forget what they were talking about.
To say they are not the same people seems rather laughable.

I completely agree with admiral. I've seen the bashing of Okami. It's a simple case of double standards.

PirateThom4318d ago

I'm pretty sure no one ever bashed Okami, but the motion controls that had been tacked on.

I don't recall people saying OoT was a "milking" of the franchise, though I admittedly don't post here often. I do however remember people saying "The only two quality games the 3DS has are ports (OoT and SF4)".

I also remember people bashing the price of OoT ($40), considering PS3 HD collections consist of two or three games for the same price.

But I don't recall the milking argument.

The amazing thing about this remake it that is doesn't really look like it has aged much. Art direction goes a long way.

Fyflin4319d ago

This might be worth picking up a move for, they'll be dirt cheap by the time it comes out.

DFresh4319d ago

Hope you can still play with a dualshock controller.
I don't want to rush out and get PS Move just for light gun games.

You can, it's not forcing Move on you, just as an option.

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.

SullysCigar949d 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.

bouzebbal949d ago

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

thorstein949d ago

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

Bigman4k949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d 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??

yeahokwhatever949d 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.

SullysCigar949d 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?

Profchaos949d ago

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

RedDevils949d 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.

949d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH949d ago

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

thorstein949d 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_Bomb949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH949d 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

yeahokwhatever949d ago

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

Silly gameAr949d ago (Edited 949d 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.

That is demostrably false.... Most VR games have motion controls and the PSVR uses the Move controllers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH949d ago (Edited 949d 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.

Vanfernal949d 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.

ScootaKuH949d ago

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

Father__Merrin949d 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

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_DC949d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy950d 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.

Ryushaa950d 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.

jukins950d 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.

Profchaos949d 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.

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

EvertonFC950d ago

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

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.

CDbiggen952d ago

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

MadLad952d 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?

mkis007952d ago

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

Knightofelemia952d 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.

neutralgamer1992952d ago

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

952d ago
neutralgamer1992952d 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

MadLad952d 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.

franwex952d ago

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

neutralgamer1992952d 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 Logic952d 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.

MadLad952d ago (Edited 952d 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.
