Is the guy who submitted the article that butthurt? lol

krouse935058d ago

He must be because the BBC people never actually say anything about issues.

WhittO5057d ago

obviously he had never played on a game console before..

Bigpappy5058d ago

The old guy is having problems with the move on a very simple game. There is no since that he even wants to play anymore.

Patrick5058d ago

The guy was holding the controller down so far that the ball was off screen and out of view of the camera...lol.. Quit trying, just cause Kinect sucks doesnt mean Move has to.. in fact , Move actually works.

vhero5058d ago

Guess this was shown on national TV in the UK then ? I must have missed it.. Either way its looking good for Sony.

there's this ridiculous looking game called Kung-Fu Live where no move controller is used just the camera to put you in a side scrolling fighter...that has full tracking without the move.

Watch the placement of the "fan" from 00:36 to about 00:42. And it gets progressively worse! That's terrible! No wonder he couldn't save the poor little chickies. If you can see it, give me an "agree." I'm a PS3 owner, and I want Move to succeed, but WTF? Apparently, this is what happens when you get close to the bottom of the screen. "Move," indeed.

Jonoc335058d ago

the move controller was off screen because he was too close to the camera. hence why it wasn't calibrated right.

Patrick5058d ago

The controller has to be seen by the camera and he is holding it off the bottom of the screen and out of view.

ChozenWoan5058d ago

What happened is that the sphere on the PSMove left the camera view. When this happens, the system only has the info from inside the PSMove and thus becomes more like a Motion+ Wiimote. This is one of the reasons why the camera makes all the difference, and why most hardcore gamers hate on the Wii.

Now we just have to wait a few more months and then we can get Moving and Playing Beyond.

Sony makes its ‘Move’ into PS3 motion control

Sony’s answer to wireless motion control offers three advantages over Nintendo’s technology: the movements are a lot more precise; because it’s a camera-based system, many games can put you in the game (such as seeing yourself on the screen in “Start the Party” and “EyePet”); and the PS3 offers high-definition graphics for a more photorealistic experience over the Wii’s standard-definition visuals.

Wow this game looks interesting, I cant see it working co-op style as a friend helping would probably lead to an argument lol. Its only $10 so i will give it a try.

Rip-Ridah4957d ago

Well worth the price of admission. There is a demo in the PS Store if you'd like to try before you buy.

Lovable4957d ago

This game is the reason to buy a Move. It's absolutely addicting. Like I said before, it's simple, yet so good.

PirateThom4957d ago

Tried the demo, while I doubt I'd buy the game, this may be the best "demo" for Move, accuracy, depth... just insane.

despair4957d ago

yea the guy who reviewed it is an idiot.

Cant spell Ignorance without IGN.

kaveti66164957d ago

I don't follow. If everyone else likes something and IGN doesn't, that makes IGN ignorant?

Do you guys think before you post over-used slogans and mantras like sheep?

coolbeans4957d ago

That's one of the biggest problems with the internet as a whole. Your reasoning is sound, and hopefully others will at least contemplate what you've said. (bubbles :D)

callahan094957d ago (Edited 4957d ago )

Yes, Kaveti, it does. This game is excellent. IGN giving it a 3.5 is disingenuous to their readers and unfair to the developers who poured their lives into making this game for however long. It has an impeccable presentation with crisp, pretty graphics, good music, a very soothing voice to the actress narrating everything, lots of variety in the missions, fun multiplayer, and incredibly accurate and impressive controls that do an excellent job of showing how the Move is a unique control scheme: this game couldn't be done on the Wii or Kinect, it requires the precision of the pointing device, which Kinect lacks, and the 3D depth tracking that the Wii lacks. It's a brilliant and inexpensive showcase for Move offering compelling puzzle experiences.

A 3.5 out of 10 is just simply the WRONG score. No opinion about it. It completely fails to acknowledge the factual features present in the game, from design to presentation to control and implementation of those schemes. It IS a good game. And the fact that IGN is the only reviewer that didn't like it is more evidence to the fact that the game itself is good, well-made, deserving of praise, and that IGN failed to see the title for what it is and tore it down for lack of that understanding.

foss34956d ago

IGN used to be good... until years ago when they started putting ads everywhere they went to the shitter.

They were one of the first sites that redirected you to a full page ad before sending you to your link. I remember seeing those and writing an email to IGN telling them I would no longer use their site because of all the spam.

Probably because they didn't get the exclusive first review.

IGN isn't relevant anymore.

Movemodo review: Racket Sports / Racquet Sports (PS3 / Move)

Quoting Movemodo's James Newton:

"With other Move titles making strides in gaming control, Racket Sports feels like a dinosaur; the motion-sensing is unreliable and could have been more accurately and enjoyably served by a button press, a disaster for any new motion control title. Racket Sports is precisely the kind of title we don’t want to see on Move. Save your money for the promising-looking Virtua Tennis 4."
