Bone-idle : PS Move from Laughing stock to Game Changer

Bone-idle writes "Sony had to respond and in what seemed like a concept they had just slapped together, the Move was born, the initial on stage display introduced the motion controller to the world and to say it underwhelming is an understatement. What seemed like little more than a Wii controller with a glowing orb attached was shown off and while the features show remained very basic, the show ended with everyone very much in the belief that it was a bit of a joke and would be little more than a brief gimmick to cash in on Nintendo’s market"

May not be ahead of kinect in sales, but "the hardcore" seem to prefer move over kinect. I do.

LOGICWINS5164d ago

Yeah..but don't "the hardcore" seem to prefer the DS3 and 360 controller over EITHER Kinect and Move?

zootang5164d ago

Nothing wrong with choice my friend.

BoneIdle5164d ago

For online i use the controller only because ill get my ass handed to me other wise, but in solo campaigns the Sharp shooter is amazing. It really adds to the game rather than just being a fun side piece.

LOGICWINS5164d ago

^^Yeah, thats why I havent gotten Move yet. I play online ALOT and I don't feel like getting owned because I'm using Move. I hear people get better when they use Move online..but I hear the exact opposite from others.

BoneIdle5164d ago

It has plus's and minuses, i find it harder to turn and look around but my accuracy is off the chart good with the move. So much so my head shot ratio looks like it was tampered with lol

LOGICWINS5164d ago

Honestly, it seems like something that would work better with 3rd person shooters. I'd buy Move in a heartbeat if UC3 or Starhawk supported it.

Imagine doing Melee with Move in UC3. That would be sooo worth it!

Joni-Ice5164d ago

It all depends on the game for me Logic. I used the Move for KZ3 and recently got the platinum. However I use the DS3 for Socom 4 singleplayer.

BoneIdle5164d ago

Even the on rails Dead Space extraction game was very good with it and i usually get bored with on rails shooters.

Only problem with 3rd person shooters can be judging the cover, ive often snuck up on a guy thought i could shoot him but just shot the rock in front of me giving away my position lol !!

guitarded775164d ago

I have both Move and Kinect and at the end of the day I'm gonna use a regular controller for hardcore games. I think the motion controllers are better suited for multi-player party games like bowling and stuff like that. All that said, I prefer the Move and my wife likes the Kinect... I'm a core gamer and she's a casual gamer. I think the move provides a more accurate and less stressful gaming experience and the Kinect has the fun factor but less precision.

Emilio_Estevez5164d ago

Yes, but that's not what we are talking about...The article is kinect and move only. Did u read it?

I still need to get a sharpshooter, to complete my Move set!

math5164d ago

I don't think the "core" gamers are playing with motion controllers. Motion Controllers are for casuals who think they are core gamers.

B1663r5164d ago

Huh??? I just enjoy being able to wave my hands around to pause movies when I am not playing games. It is really nice not having to grab the controller.

claterz5164d ago

Yh because if you're a core gamer you have to be using a pad and only play shooters...

Hardcore gamers can use motion controls, and it doesn't make them a casual gamer. Well if it does, I don't care, I'll still play with Move because it's fun!

maddfoxx5164d ago

Some of the PS3 games are pretty good with move. I actually makes heavy rain a challenge to play and Killzone feels like it works better with the move. I can't to play No More Heros!

BoneIdle5164d ago

Yip i played Killzone through once with dual shock, once with move then 3 times with the sharp shooter and its by far my favorite controller method.

jneul5162d ago

lol try telling that to lots of us who converted to move with kz3 its just so much better than a ds3 and you get completely owned by move players, move is here to stay get over it

BabyTownFrolics5164d ago

I still dont use MOVE as much as I would like, I am looking forward to that no more heroes game

Silly Mammo5164d ago

I use the Move/Nag for KZ3 and while I'll never say I dominate in the game. Usually, I do end up one of the Top 3 players on my team at the end of a map.

I never understood the turning problem that others have had. I did do some fine tuning with the controller options though.

Tired5164d ago

I think software:hardware sales for the kinect speak volumes.

I have 15 move or move enabled games-some great some terribly mediocre...but the tech works.

I do like the look of gunstringer tho...not enough to warrent a new console purchase.

Bring out a few more killer apps and maybe I'll be sold.

I am happy to be won over to the dark side but Alan wake/Limbo
is not enough...pull your finger out microsoft x

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic217d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23217d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger207d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

jznrpg259d ago

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga258d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken257d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77259d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2258d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor783d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar783d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg783d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149782d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138783d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim783d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC783d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138783d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle783d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76783d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM783d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger783d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca783d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain783d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright783d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
