Will you Move or Kinect?

Now that Microsoft has played its hand and confirmed the price of the Kinect in Australia, gamers can start doing their sums and deciding whether they will invest in the new motion control systems this Christmas.

[HorsePowerr]

Playstation Move no doubt.

[GreenRingOfLife]

Microsoft Kinect for sure

[Joule]

LOL

[Acquiescence]

Pfft, what do they know.

[AAACE5]

I probably won't do either one right away! Now that all the E3 excitement of these being announced has passed, I see very little reason to get either one right away!

There will be other games to keep me occupied until more games come out for these to justify a purchase. Plus, more importantly, wait for the prices to drop! Either one will be expensive, because Kinect will cost $150, and 2 Move setups will cost around $150 as well!

[DERKADER]

They're both gimmicks that will lose support after a year.

[Genesis5]

I will be moving and will be dis-kinected.

[Theonetheonly]

due to the fact that it will be natively supported for the pc soon.

for move to work i would have to wait for some thirf party to do bluetooth or whatever to make it useable on my pc.

[Theonetheonly]

plus a webcam or something and a mod for the cam software

[shoddy]

I'll Move with that Move jail house fighting game with 2 controllers.
Then resident evil, socom 4, and KZ3 with that add on gun handle.

You will truely aim with hand eye co. Instead of useing thumb.

[ThanatosDMC]

buttons... nuff said

[frostyhat123]

but really?
Horse Powerr is praised because he wants the PS Move. He is marked with Intelligent and has 95 agrees and 13 disagrees.
Now, Green Ring of Life say he wants the Kinect. In now way is he trying to start a battle or is he trolling. But somehow he gets only 20 agrees and 105 disagrees.

[0mega4]

ftw

[krouse93]

Yea, I am definitely getting Move as well. I already pre-ordered it. It has a great line up of games coming out for it. Where Kinect has a very lame line-up for upcoming games.

And for $150 all you get is a camera with 2 player support where you have to stand up for every game.

You also receive no force feedback which sucks!

[LexHazard79]

you don't have to stand to play all Kinect games...

[harrisk954]

actually, at this point you do have to stand. MS has said that games can be coded in the FUTURE to have the ability to play sitting down, but it has been made very public that MS told developers initially to make sure that the gameplay required players to stand. It has been brought up in more articles than I can count.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

PS Move, there are better and more games.

[JsonHenry]

Not until they make a game that warrants the purchase. Otherwise I got a useless piece of hardware sitting in my living room.

[D4RkNIKON]

Move has games for the hardest of core.

[WIIIS1]

HAHAHAAHAHAHA!!! Did you believe that when it was known as Wii???

[D4RkNIKON]

The wii doesn't have Killzone 3, Socom 4, Little Big Planet 2, GT5, Ruse, Resident Evil 4, Heavy Rain and The Fight

[White-Sharingan]

pwned

[GodHandDee]

Move AWAY from Kinect...

Seriously the line up for Kinect sucks so bad...it's a casual easy cash in screw the hardcore move by MS...The move line up is SO MUCH BETTER! such great variety and we haven't hit GC and TGS yet even...can't wait to buy it

[FragMnTagM]

but what is the motivation? They want Wii numbers, and they are not going to get that by showing a lot of hardcore games on Kinect. MS knows they need to appeal to the extremely casual to achieve anywhere near Wii numbers. Whether it will support hardcore games or not, remains to be seen. I wouldn't count out hardcore game support for it yet. For a device that hasn't even released yet, it is selling rather well.

I think this is one of the biggest hurdles for the Move is that it is focusing too much on the hardcore. I know I will love the Move, but I just don't see it doing Kinect numbers unless they release some more casual games. At the moment, Move doesn't have too many casual games.

Either way I will be getting both as I will most likely use the Move more than the Kinect. The Kinect will be great for parties and when I have family over. I don't think the Move would be too ideal for family and friends as it seems more aimed to a single player experience. With the Kinect, you only need one piece of equipment and a game. The Move requires a lot of pieces for multiple players.

I guess we will just have to wait and see. I am getting tired of all the needless bashing that is going on. If my kids enjoy the Kinect then it was worth the purchase to me. They like playing the Wii, but games that require nun-chuck play are still a little hard for them. I think that the Kinect would be a perfect fit for my children.

[N4PS3Fanboys]

The first two comments and there agree and disagree count are a prefect example to show that N4G is indeed for PS3 fanboys.

[table]

That may be true, and probably is, but any serious gamer would buy move over kinect. Any person who comments on sites like this is most probably a hardcore gamer and obviously move with its wide selections of titles that support it, compared to kinect which offers skittles and milo, is going to be the gamers choice.

[stuna1]

Why can't you just decide on what it is you want?
And yes it's already been decided for, considering that it already supporting some games I already have. Which to me adds alot more playability to titles I have already beaten. Just think what it can do for the case against sonys game not having the replayability factor for alot of their fps and even to a degree sp games. IMO this can truly be a game changer for sony, but like always it come down to their marketing stance.

[UltimateIdiot911]

There is a difference between having a preference than being a fanboy. Not everyone hear who likes the PS3 is automatically a PS3 fanboy. Some of us have a strong preference for one console over another, just so happen more N4Gers prefer PS3 but there are indeed fanboys roaming around N4G but they make it obvious.

[Why o why]

all 360 owners want Kinect and all ps3 owners want Move...makes sense...to you. Me on the other hand know many 360 owners who want to see actual games they wanna play before spending their 1 fifty. I also know a few ps3 owners who understand the simplicity and limits of Kinect and are fine with that. You'd probably put it down to fanboys even if they chose a Sony car over a MS brick. Nothing to do with the fact that a car is just better than a brick. Anyway im for Move as ive seen games that i may play and have seen that it can lay a higher variety of game genres. I hope both do well but i can already see what i'd get the most enjoyment from

[frostyhat123]

took the words right out of my mouth.

[playstation_clan]

i like to move it move it, you like to move it move, we like to move it move it.

Microsoft rather move it move it

[J-Smith]

i will ds3 pad like normal LoL

[Rocket Sauce]

Power glove.

[DasBunker]

i'll be playing killzone 3 and socom with move..

while others tickle a fake tigers anus and dance like idiots.

[Rocket Sauce]

the move sure is ergonomically shaped. You'd think both sides could get along over that.

[spacetattoo]

KINECT For sure, I GOT A WII ALREADY SO I DON'T need move.

[animelover10487]

if you have the money,and a job why not?

[tatotiburon]

according to N4G: Move, according to the REAL WORLD: Kinect...since e3 kinect has outsold move evrywhere

[acky1]

i will buy kinect because thats what the majority in the REAL WORLD are going to do /s

[himdeel]

...likewise I don't do party games so what Kinect has to offer purely from a games prospective I'm not interested :(

[lelo2play]

Everybody has been bashing the Wii the last couple of years because of the controls ... now the PS3 is coping it, and everybody automatically praises Move.

Ahhhhh.... fanboys.

[SupaGamer]

I'm more about the Move (if I get either). Kinect sounds to glitchy and there aren't any games for it I'd like.

[MariaHelFutura]

I own both systems and I could care less for Kinect for anything besides browsing, when it`s super cheap I`ll buy it for that. Move on the other hand, looks like it has alot of potential to be used for games I`d like to play.

[Bumpmapping]

Move for sure

[gravemaker]

move

[jack_burt0n]

move is the price of a dualshock = instabuy.

TC raizing
kung fu rider
socom 4
champions
ape escape
echochrome2
@launch.

@Mr Rotten
Yeah for sure and GT5 headtracking.

[Johnny Rotten]

don't forget:

Little Big Planet
Killzone
Resident Evil
Sorcerer
R.U.S.E
Dead Space(extraction)
Tiger Woods
Sly collection
Heavy Rain

are soon to follow!!

[NecrumSlavery]

Also

Horizon
Heroes on the Move
EyePet
The Shoot
de Blob Underground
DeadSpace Extraction

And if we all wish upon a star, maybe one day, we'll get EPIC MICKEY HD!!!!

[Parapraxis]

Necrum...I don't know if you should be wishing so hard for Epic Mickey...from the feedback it's getting from e3 it sounds more like Epic Fail Mickey.

[PSfan09]

move has already 20+ hardcore games while kinect just has dance central

[Johnny Rotten]

come on now, lets not be too hard on Kinect it has more than one title ready for launch :)

http://www.vertigogaming.ne...

[silkrevolver]

... I think my answer is obvious.

[JonnyBigBoss]

PlayStation Move.

Casual, Hardcore, everything!

[silkrevolver]

...the facts in this article are really messed up, aren’t they? Isn’t the new 360 only $200? and the one with Kinect $300? Am I missing something?

edit: never mind, these are Australian prices.

[tomy]

!

[RememberThe357]

But I was talking to my friend and we came to the conclusion that Kinect does literally nothing that we would use. At least with Move you can play games that I would actually like. Kinect just doesn't have to accuracy or content that would warrant a purchase from someone who actually likes playing videogaes IMO.

[IcarusOne]

I think Kinect is the kind of thing that I'd see at a friend's house and try out and think "Wow! This is kinda cool!" And he'd say, "Yeah! You should buy it!" and I'd laugh and say, "No! That's what you're for!"

Despite its games at launch, I think (read, "hope") hardcore games will be coming. There's a bunch of ways they could incorporate this with a controller into making existing hardcore games more immersive. And if I can think of them, I can only assume professional devs can to.

As for Move, I have the same feeling as I do for the Wii. It might be more accurate with virtually no lag, but I just don't care. That's like telling me this $60 sushi making machine can replicate squid perfectly. Great. I still hate squid.

[RememberThe357]

I can see where your coming from. But what we have seen from Move is a focus on the hardcore, which is something I never saw from Nintendo with the Wii.

Like I said, I wont be buying either, at least until a price drop. But if I buy one it will be Move because they seem to have the software to back up the purchase.

[Omega4]

I will get the one which actually has games made from the ground up for the device, not just tacked onto games which work better with a normal controller.

[blasian]

Glad to see you've tried out all the games with move support to verify they actually work better with a DS3. /s

[blumatt]

Well, Socom 4, Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 3, and LBP2 are all built from the ground up with the Move in mind. Then there's Sorcery that's built specifically for the Move. So don't give me that crap. I guess I could say something like this: "I'll get the one which actually has hardcore games it supports."
And I know about Heavy Rain and Resident Evil 5 being patched to work with it. But honestly what's wrong with that??

[NecrumSlavery]

Resident Evil and Heavy Rain aren't just mere patches. And everyone who has played them has said that they perform even better than the original versions.

Also, I am hoping Trine 2 supports Move. That would be awesome, controlling the Wizard with it.

[Johnny_Bravo]

SOCOM 4 was not built from ground up with the Move in mind. Zipper already stated they where over a year in development on SOCOM 4 before Sony asked them to add support for the Move, and SOCOM 4 was built with the DS3 in mind. As far as the other games you listed I'm not to sure.

[ActionBastard]

So Move then?

[30sec]

Bubbles for the laugh!

[Snoogins]

Glad to see you're getting Move as well.

[Cerberus2125]

LOL.Bubbles for the laugh.

[megazeroxuxm]

ps3 version of wii, instead of waiting for wiihd, i think i'll just get a 200 bucks ps3 plus this thing and it'll be the end of that :D

[Alos88]

For me, all that matters is which one has more games that appeal to me, and right now it's too early for me to tell.

[Godmars290]

Honestly, I might actually buy Move, but I'll buy a PSeye before I do.

[Drummerdude41]

Oh kinect can go suck some wii balls! im all about the move baby. better tech! better support! Better games! until the game Muhammad and the 72 virgins comes out for kinect im not gonna change my mind!

[Skadoosh]

Neither. They both look unimpressive so far. I'm still waiting for a sweet gun game that uses body motion like that 911 arcade game. I'll buy first day.

[Snoogins]

Isn't there a Move shooter which uses body motions for duck and cover? Was it Time Crisis or The Shoot?

[saint_john_paul_ii]

the shoot uses body motions to duck and cover.

Dont know about time crisis.

now that the Move is coming, all i want is Sega to make a House of the Dead game for it

[Snoogins]

Oh! I'd love to see a next-gen House of the Dead with Move support. I'd also love to see a hack-and-slash/shooter first-person survival horror type game. Survival Horror genre is one that is severely lacking in abundance this gen.

[Baltis]

I'm buying Move, already pre-ordered it. I hope it doesn't replace the DS3 but I hope it supplements it.

[4lc4pon3]

im not paying 149 dollars or more for the kinect that looks like it has no good titles and all are mostly kiddy shit

I will Move it move it

[W831SOLIDSNAKE]

MOVE FTW!!!

[zero_gamer]

Click on my disagree button if you're wasting money on Kinect.

[gtsentry]

im definitly moving it this september lol

[Revvin]

PS Move definitely, Kinect maybe later but I'm more impressed from what I've seen from Move and can see me using it more often. Kinect's pricing is also a little steep for what it is.

[Acquiescence]

I'm not spending stupid dollars and silly cents on a piece of equipment that makes me look like a spastic.

[xg-ei8ht]

See if i turned the tables.

move was on 360

and kinect was on ps3

I'd still say get MOVE.

Kinect will be sitting next to your 360 doing nothing.

Do not waste your time.

[Fleet Fox]

lol Enjoy your Wii-mote rip-off. Sony does nothing first any longer. They just follow and mimic the leaders in everything they do now days.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

" Sony does nothing first any longer. They just follow and mimic the leaders in everything they do now days."

yea, because we all know that Sony copied the Wiimote

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

/s

[JayQue]

sony isnt even copying nintendo they're doing what nintendo should of done which was reverse tracking.. on the wii you're pretty much holding the pseye and pointing at the move controller.. on the ps3 you're holding the sensor bar and pointing at the wiimote.. if you understand what im saying.. THUS gives it better detection

[Bloodyghost]

Fuck them both. Unless I truely need a Move or a Kinect as a gamer, why need it? Its targeted towards Casual Market and its kinda selfless that both companies are pulling a Nintendo on there Hardcore Market (Sony not so much however) But still why buy a more then 100 dollar peripheral for something thats just starting to develop. When they find the right steps and give me a reason to buy it then I will but so far I do not see any thing for Hardcore for either one.

Also why would you get this, when you the gamers have plenty of great AAA products hitting this FALL?! Spending 100 dollars then shorting out your money for other games?! Silly.

[Ivan Drago IV]

I am counting down the days, i want it so bad. I already have the $99.99 bundle pre ordered along with Start the Party and The Fight lights out and ofcourse Socom 4. Honestly ive been getting kind of bored with my games and have been craving something fresh and new from gaming for the last year and sports champions looks to be a blast!

Im also getting the gun attachment for the Move. no "pew pew pew" for me ha!

BTW, does anyone else find it odd that Move is coming out on a Sunday here in the US? Sept 19th is a Sunday, seems like a strange day to release something like this.

[LeonhartX]

I like to move it move it
I like to move it move it
You like to MOVE IT !!!

[BeeAreWhyAyeEn]

Hilarious = Bubbles

[acky1]

wasnt that funny...

[tdogchristy90]

NO!

[BeeAreWhyAyeEn]

Im getting move, looks more fun.

[Imalwaysright]

Neither. I dont waste money on redundant shit. My 360 and PS3 controllers work just fine and i rather spend my money on games.

[TheObserver]

I am thinking of further pimp my PC some more instead of spending money on motion controls. FFXIV is coming out and I am planning to play that. <-- Very likely

I'll get move if suddenly people are owning me online with it on PS3. So far, that seems highly likely, but who knows. There is zero chance that Kinect will give me an advantage what so ever with gaming (Assuming there are games with online mode lol), so that's out of the question.

For the kids the Move also offers EyePet, LBP2 and well as party games. 2 bird with one stone. So getting Kinect is not very economical since I wont be using it beside playing with youngsters.

Edit: If Demon Souls 2 have Move support, then I am sold.

[KillerPwned]

I`m more content with the move right now i know i always will be but later down the road when i can get kinect alot cheaper ill get one.

Got my Move bundle and navi controller all up on preorder :)

[doa766]

who ever says Kinect is either a deep in denial xbot, a soccer mom, her little kid or a moron

[LEO_cst2]

.

[JonnyBigBoss]

PlayStation Move bundle pre-ordered.

I was absolutely shocked at how good Move was at E3. It feels good, plays well and has so much potential.

[SpinalRemains138]

Rather stay seated and make the guy on the screen run around. It's been great for 30 years and it will stay that way. I don't want to get up and jump around while playing games. That's just me though. I see the motion control fad as good for little kids, but I can't take it serious.

[Parapraxis]

You most likely won't need to stand to use Move with most hardcore games.

[GamingNtek]

I already pre-ordered it.

[TheGuardianFID]

I like to, MOVE IT!!! 8P 8)

[sarshelyam]

Does it for me...I played Kinect too at E3, there simply wasn't anything compelling and fun (other than Dance Central).

[ForzaGT]

Move is my choice, mainly because it has proven to have good selection of both hardcore and casual, and you can always depend on sony on producing reliable hardwares with good 1st party exclusives with the potential 3D support, with kinect however it is very limited in the selection of games in both quantity and quality

[Theonetheonly]

native support for pc soon!

[hiredhelp]

if i had to wave my arms and legs aroud just to play everygame. i would for sure loose much needed weight. however i have a son that helps me loose the weight soo im MOVING at the moment and will continue to be moving for many years to come looseing few pounds.and will not be Kinnecting to anything that gets hotter than my fried egg there goes another lot of calories.
thoe i may fry myself a sausage ;)
<------

[jjesso1993]

all ready pre ordered move.

[DJMarty]

Ordering MOVE x2, Nav Controler x1, and a MOVE game. Total cost £130.

Kinects a joke.

[hiredhelp]

well said extra bubble

[xX TriiCKy Xx]

I think I'll be "Moving."

[mac4u10]

I have preorder 2 Move controllers and 2 games, but in my opinion Kinect may outsell the Move, looking at amazon alone shows it all but who cares, Move suits me more... I Love buttons!!!

[TheTeam06]

Cheaper, more games and includes both a camera and controller. Why go for a more expensive, limited peripheral?

[paracardium]

of coarse without a doubt.

[mightydog01]

got an eye toy so just getting move and sub controler+ socom 4 TOTAL COST £93 shop2.net. It looks and plays bloody awesome can't wait......(lock and load baby).

[Darth_Bane79]

$hitnect out of the way!

[tiamat5]

Will try to be as unbiased as possible. Forget which system I own. As a gamer Kinect does not seem to be a very viable system. It has no force feedback. They have taken away the one thing that gives games substance. All of us know that holding a controller in our hands is what gives us the feeling of accomplishment. The trigger of a gun, the turn of the wheel, even the desperate pounding of the button when things get desperate.Their games showcase the type of games that seem to be the norm with the Kinect. Microsoft keeps claiming it can do more but have no examples, tech demos or any type of proof that shows that they are not going down the same tragic road as Sony did with the Eyetoy. I could be wrong but Kinect seems like it was made to lure the unsuspecting public in and nothing more. I believe that Kinect is an idea that is still in the planming stage that not even Microsoft is sure what to do with it, a 'work in progress'.If people would lower their defenses and open your eyes you would see that

[MrWegman]

I plan on getting the Move controller ($49.99) I already have the camera (eye)... I look forward to playing Tiger Woods 11 in HD... I have enjoyed Tiger on the Wii except the graphics...

[Azianphil88]

Move because it has buttons

[RockmanII7]

Neither, I have a Wii

[Redempteur]

i'll move because i already have a PSeyea nd i have already have games compatibles with it ..so the investment will be minimal .

Also boutons and rumble ...

[Parapraxis]

Wow...I just went through all the comments, the number of people that are planning to buy Move is staggering...and this is on a gamers website!

If Sony was aiming to kinnect with the hardcore AND casual crowd, they have done their job! Looks like they made the right move.

[tiamat5]

Parapraxis that brings up a good point. Everyone always assumes that the people who disagree with the Kinect's worth or success are PS3 fanboys. But disagrees don't have names or identities. I read that at least 75% of 360 owners are not buying the Kinect and are against it,How does anyone know that the disagrees aren't also 360 owners who just don't like the direction Microsoft is taking? Everyone assumes that 360 fans will defend anything and everything that Microsoft makes.But they could very well prefer that the Kinect not exist at all. My point is the reason why people who defend Kinect seem to always get put down and Move comments gets agreed with is that we PS3 owners are more confident and positive that the Move will work in our favour and disagree with anyone who says otherwise. But no one ever thinks that maybe it's not only PS3 owners but 360 owners and maybe even a few Wii owners who might disagree with the Kinect's viability or worth.

[zero_cool]

Playstation move is my choice because it's ideal for playing fps,tps,rts,platformers,action rpgs & sports games.

[krauler]

I'll be on the Move
for me the reason is simple: I don't own a 360 and don't see a reason to in the future.
I did have an old xbox and I loved it so I have nothing against MS. But, I only own one system now and it has enough to keep me entertained.

[SolidSystem]

Both.
I want to experience everything I can.

[Darth_Bane79]

For sure!

[shadowknight203]

hey guys i need some support. could you please follow this link and read my writings and comment on them to tell me if you like them or not.
http://www.booksie.com/Plag...

[Platinum_k]

since i only have the most reliable gaming console.... casual or hardcore. PS3!!!

[bviperz]

Move got core game support, I love core gaming so I think I'll be sampling move.

[Spenok]

Move no doubt.

[Samurai_Demon]

Will Move

[ArchangelMike]

Playstation Move caters to both my casual and hardcore gaming needs. Kinect doesn't.

[CrazyRap]

Move.

[bjornbear]

causals = kinect.

[xg-ei8ht]

I'm actually interested in how many people microsoft will sucker into buy it.
