A Gamer's Perspective on the Upcoming Playstation Move and a Possible Change of Heart

Default Prime: "When I first heard about the Move, I'll admit I was skeptical, I like to consider myself a hardcore gamer, from a family hardcore gamers (my grandpa still plays video games, Dreamcast being his favorite system) and I didn't even bat an eye when the Nintendo Wii came out. I felt like it was gimmicky way to get girls into gaming and other non-gamers to play their system. It worked for them, just not for me. I like games, REAL games! Games with depth, a kick ass storyline and fun to play as well. Pretty graphics are just icing on the cake."

I bought the Wii on launch day for the motion control looking for a different approach to gaming. At the time the Wii didn't have games I wanted to play, so I sold it and bought a PS3. I'm hoping Move can bring games that people want to play, not just casual but hardcore too. Move looks like it can do that and more, so who knows.

alphakennybody5475d ago

after I saw sorcery I was moved(pun intended), then I saw echochrome ii omg! no doubt sony is doing what N should have done since the beginning.

HolyOrangeCows5474d ago

Echochrome ii...THAT is looking sweet. I'm excited to use the level editor.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5474d ago

Echocrome is a PSN Game, right?

The Great Melon5474d ago

@ALFAxD_CENTAURO

Probably, the first was only on the PSN so I expect the second to be the same.

sikbeta5474d ago

Echochrome II look just great, I'd never thought about using shadows and they way you can move the Ps-Move make it even more great, also Sorcery + Heroes on the Move = Day One Purchase...

It looks like there will be core games compatible with it.

Nba 2k11 ?!?!
Killzone 3 ?!? Confirmed?

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

Killzone 3 is confirmed for Move.

Also another Genre of Game, RUSE, the RTS Game, I want to see how that will be implemented with Move.

There is another RTS Game coming, I don't know if this is a Disk Based game or a PSN Game, but is called Under Siege for Move.

BeaArthur5474d ago

I doubt anything will change my opinion on Move or Kinect. I already have a Wii and they are both over priced.

MPC was the only game that really delivered on the 'Wii promise.' Loved that game, but that was really the only one out there. =/ So I sold my Wii to buy games that appeal to me.

Now that Sony has that same input device with more accuracy and games like Socom, KZ3, LBP, and probably every future 1st party game along with many multiplats, I am VERY excited.

I hope DICE patches BFBC2 for Move!

Danja5474d ago

I agree MPC really showcased what the Wii Mote can do when done right , im really exited to play Socom 4 , KZ3 , R3 and hopefully Demon Souls gets a move patch

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.

jznrpg254d ago

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

Cacabunga253d ago

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

just_looken253d ago

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

Relientk77254d ago

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

Lexreborn2254d 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.

SullysCigar1383d 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.

bouzebbal1382d ago

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

thorstein1383d ago

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

Bigman4k1383d ago (Edited 1383d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1383d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1383d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1383d 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 7211383d 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??

yeahokwhatever1383d 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.

SullysCigar1383d 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.

LordoftheCritics1383d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1383d 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?

Profchaos1383d ago

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

RedDevils1383d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1383d ago (Edited 1383d 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.

1383d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1383d ago

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

thorstein1383d 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 gameAr1383d 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 7211383d ago

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

Orchard1383d 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_Bomb1383d ago (Edited 1383d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1383d 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

yeahokwhatever1383d ago

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

Silly gameAr1383d ago (Edited 1383d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1383d ago (Edited 1383d 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.

Vanfernal1383d 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.

ScootaKuH1383d ago

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

Father__Merrin1383d 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 Mammo1382d 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_DC1382d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1383d 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.

Ryushaa1383d 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.

jukins1383d 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.

Profchaos1383d 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.

yeahokwhatever1383d ago

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

EvertonFC1383d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1383d ago

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