From actual people who played the game. All positive responses

It's good to see the reaction of normal folks who tried the Move.

Jaces5476d ago

It's amazing the feedback it's getting. If anything I hope it doesnt end up being a fad for the first year then end up never being played again (wii), hope they build on MOVE as much as possible.

Seferoth755476d ago

Jaces If it does get played like the Wii it will double the PS3 play time to actually out of last place.
Since you can act like a random famitsu poll of 300 people is the same as 75 million I can take the nielson next gen play times of a much broader range of gamers as complete fact as well

PS3 was doing so bad at one point the original xbox was getting more play time. Still havent seen any proof that the PS3 gets more play time than the Wii. I mean PS3 bundles just about every major game, their games get heavy discounts early and they still fail to achieve the numbers of games like Halo3 or SMG and those games came out when the install base for those consoles was lower than the PS3 is now, yet the PS3 still cant match the software sales of either console.

shqype5476d ago

I remember my cousins were so excited for the Wii, they got one as soon as it was available. They played it and they loved it... for a while. Six months later they stopped using it, and it has been collecting dust since. It really was like a fad that was short lived, compared to both the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, which are still used by most of their owners years after they were purchased.

Anyway, to stay on topic, it was interesting to see the response Move was getting. However, I would have preferred if they demoed some of the more hardcore games as well. If Sorcery and SOCOM 4 were on display, that would truly be an epic experience!

PLAYWATCH5476d ago

The PS3 has sold more software this past year than the Xbox360. 115 million to 103 million copies. Take your misinformation someplace else. FYI this is not 2007.

I'm sold.
Picking up 2 sets day 1!

Hideo_Kojima5476d ago

i thought u had to be in the business to get into E3 :-/

Parapraxis5476d ago

Sony was demoing it at a few Best Buys.

saint_john_paul_ii5476d ago

oh look!!! real people, not celebrities!!!

deadreckoning6665476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

Real people testing out new products? BLASPHEMY!

Edit: Holy crap! Start the Party is the s**t!

maddhatter1235476d ago

celebrities are the only people that know what is best for us. :)

dc15476d ago

funny! ... and sad at the same time. +Plus bubs for you!

HolyOrangeCows5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

If Tom Hanks hadn't advised me on who to vote for, I might have voted for a 3rd party! Good thing he saved us.

/s

BubZ-SkullY5476d ago

the fact that this is not a sony video is why it not celebrity endorsed, and maybe if it was you might have seen celebs. But hey this video confirms me getting the move, i don't think the site is a sony fanboy site so i will see this vid as 100% real people, not actors trying out the move for the first time.

And that guy that has 8 PS3!! talk about support thats ridiculous i only have my launch 40gb and its still goin strong, he has to spend, maybe he has a big family.

The accuracy is what i wanted to hear from the people the most, cos i don't want it to be like the wii, don't get me wrong i enjoy playing the wii and i have played it several time, i dont own one though, but i have to say certain actions need to be repeated to get it right.

I appreciate Nintendo for being the first to come out with this motion stuff, it allows others like microsoft and sony to further improve them and make them even better. Sony alrady did it with eyetoy but not alot of people were ready for motion gaming without controllers, now microsoft are trying to improve that which i think is a great concept, and if they fix the lag issues show us actual LIVE gameplay for non-fitness related games then they will be good.

Sony on the other hand took the wii remote and improved it greatly with 1:1 motion tracking which alot of people have said and seen is great, its a good move on their behalf because everyone would be used to its concept because of the wii, the only thing is alot of casual gamers won't be attract to the full price of the ps3 if they don't already own one, considering that the wii is that cheap and it does motion gaming almost as good as sony's move.

all in all i will purchase move since i only have the ps3, but i am not a serious fanboy although i really want sony to do well, and deliver content we neeed on the psn and for the ps3

dc15476d ago

Well said Bubz +plus Bubble for you.

This video is the best form of advertising a company can possible have.
- Independent
- Neutral location
- Genuine

(I will be picking up the move as well)

BubZ-SkullY5476d ago

thanks mate, sometimes things have to be said how it is, not because of what console its on, all 3 major consoles have potential its how they go about deliver it to the best is what we gamers need. thanks again for the bubbles..

Moonboots5476d ago

aaaannnddd.. I got a Subway gift card...

aaaannnddd.. I got a Playstation T-Shirt...

aaaaannddd..

that kid was funny but kinda revealing as well.. :)

The impressions seemed pretty genuine and it's good Sony isn't shy like another company we know.. I want the PS3 and Move to be successful as well. Agreed.

BubZ-SkullY5476d ago

times like these i wish i lived in america, lol, but seriously everthing comes out there first. NOT COOL

Bigpappy5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

Most are gamers who already own a PS3. The mom will be getting Move for the kids who already have a PS3. I will be interesting to see how many PS3's the Move move.

If Sony can sell enouth of the PS3 + Move to Wii only users and casuals as a whole, they would have succeeded at upstaging M$ with Kinect. They have about 1 1/2 month head start. If M$ gets their kiosk in stores early October, then that may not be a big advantage for Sony. Having some one on hand to help people learn how to use the controller and play the demos did get things moving along quite well.

nefertis5476d ago

Oh boy this can get ugly, soccer mom and child will be all over this , this holiday season. D1B for me.

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.

jznrpg242d ago

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

Cacabunga241d ago

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

just_looken241d ago

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

Relientk77242d ago

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

Lexreborn2242d ago

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

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.

SullysCigar1371d 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.

bouzebbal1371d ago

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

thorstein1371d ago

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

Bigman4k1371d ago (Edited 1371d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1371d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d 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 7211371d 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??

yeahokwhatever1371d 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.

SullysCigar1371d 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.

LordoftheCritics1371d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d 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?

Profchaos1371d ago

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

RedDevils1371d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1371d ago (Edited 1371d 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.

1371d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d ago

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

thorstein1371d 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 gameAr1371d 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 7211371d ago

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

Orchard1371d 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_Bomb1371d ago (Edited 1371d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d 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

yeahokwhatever1371d ago

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

Silly gameAr1371d ago (Edited 1371d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d ago (Edited 1371d 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.

Vanfernal1371d 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.

ScootaKuH1371d ago

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

Father__Merrin1371d 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 Mammo1371d 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_DC1370d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1371d 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.

Ryushaa1371d 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.

jukins1371d 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.

Profchaos1371d 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.

yeahokwhatever1371d ago

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

EvertonFC1371d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1371d ago

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