So, uh, Maybe I Was Wrong About the Playstation Move

Phil Owen from GamingToday: I’ve ripped the Move in the past for hiding costs, saying that gamers will need more than just a single Move controller to do much with it. But I might have been wrong.

Can;t wait to play marvelous games with it, Such as Killzone 3 & Socom.

FlipMode5463d ago

Not interested, I like playing my games with the DS3.

@Flip

I'm sure you know someone who hates games. I know a few, I also know that a few of them bought a Wii because they thought they could get into gaming with Motion Controls.

It turns out they want to play games like Cod and Tiger Woods but would like to get full use of their HD set. Would this not be the the perfect solution (move?)

@R2D2

Welcome to N4G = [News] for Gamers

@FlipMode

Thanks for sharing your Opinion and don't worry, Move is Optional, so there is no way it can "affect" your gaming experience...

O-T

Everything is cool Phil Owen (the author), I was skeptical at the beginning, then after so much Videos and actually showing how the Device work, we can say that Move deliver what it promised, It'll be a great Device and a Great purchase...

So Kinect hasn't had at least 50 articles too?? Stop being a jackass. About the article, it's good to see him changing his tune a bit. Move combines the best of Kinect and Wii and makes something better. I'm glad Sony is supporting the hardcore with it too. Socom 4, Resident Evil 5, Killzone 3, LBP2, etc.

CrAnKiTuP_015463d ago

he said this: "Kinect article number 3345460"
http://n4g.com/news/564828/...
He's showing how much attention Kinect gets vs Move in his own way.

Why o why5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

people who clink on links to complain about the articles existence. I can understand complaining about its content but its a strange net phenomenon. I cant stand patcher....so i dont click on his articles to complain..yet some people hate HHG and week after week click on the article to complain. Same with VG chartz. Ive been guilty of it more so because a lot of articles that use vg chartz as a source DONT have vg chartz in the title so i and others get duped.

Anyway these article are gunna be the a new n4g genre like 'comparison' articles. Just another one to skip or read depending on your stance.

O-T its good that some of the doubters have changed their viewpoints on psM. It definitely seems to have covered most of the bases and at least more bases than the wii or kinect.

To be fair to r2D2 he said the same thing in a kinect article and things can get tedious. Best thing is to stay away from the source of the annoyance if you ask me but this article is different in that the writer is actually taking a step back. Not many people can admit fault nowadays.

thereapersson5463d ago

Well play games with the DS3, then. Move will be optional; they're not going to release SOCOM: Move edition, and force you to use the damn thing.

It's not like Natal, where there is no controller involved at all. Most, if not all, Move titles will have the option of using the DS3 controller. So if you're completely averse to playing with the Move, you do have an option.

Everyone always judges everything Sony does as harshly as possible before getting the facts

raztad5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

Absolutely true, and for some obscure reason the most predictions are doom and gloom.

@bellow

Hey good job finding one positive article.

DelbertGrady5463d ago

Like in this article: http://n4g.com/news/564450/...

People in the comment section were a tad overly critical against Sony.

bjornbear5463d ago

so i guess everyone outside N4G is anti sony.

or maybe there is just no way of telling, and everyone is acting like a baby pointing the finger.

i don't know, I just like reading the news.

IdleLeeSiuLung5463d ago

What news? The entire site is about flamebait articles, rumours, speculation, top 10 lists and a heap of mis-information!

It's basically news for gamers by the amateur blogging crowd looking for hits!

Christopher5463d ago

Thanks for the chuckle, Soda.

BlackTar1875463d ago

its so much better to cry about it over and over again like i see you 2 do in most articles.

if its so pro sony then leave it doesn't make any sense or do any good to jump into all the articles crying foul and how the 360 community on this site doesn't exist. its getting old if your gonna keep bucking the ps3 love then leave maybe.

i don't mean to sound overly harsh but it get old reading certain people say ohh but N4g ps3 only site whaah over and over. I play every system all the time. i like this site pointing out flame bait a million times is pretty lame. I would understand if you made some type of progress but you obv. haven't and if anything its getting smaller and smaller.

i go into 360 articles and i post my thoughts and ps3 articles and wii articles. this game of playing the victim all the time by CERTAIN members of the PRO 360 only crowd gets kinda old. I say the same to the PS3 crowd but they do have something right now and its called #'s

stevenhiggster5463d ago

I love all the moaning about N4G being pro Sony, either some of you have very short memories or just weren't here in 2007-08 and most of 09. It was all doom and gloom Sony articles and nothing but Sony bashing in the comments sections, so you could say what you're seeing now is poetic justice.

HarryM5463d ago

Are you kidding? Someone got 95 Agrees just for saying " I approve of this message"..

While most of the other comments are purely fanboys... >_>

In general too many people are judging too many gaming products too harshly before getting the facts these days. It is the age of rampant overreaction due to trusting every dumb thing people post on the Internet (which is terribly unrealiable for accurate information).

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.

jznrpg258d ago

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

Cacabunga257d 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.

Relientk77258d ago

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

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.

SullysCigar1386d 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.

bouzebbal1386d ago

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

thorstein1386d ago

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

Bigman4k1386d ago (Edited 1386d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1387d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1387d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1387d 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 7211387d 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??

yeahokwhatever1387d 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.

SullysCigar1386d 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.

LordoftheCritics1387d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1387d 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?

Profchaos1387d ago

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

RedDevils1387d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1387d ago (Edited 1387d 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.

1387d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1387d ago

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

thorstein1386d 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 gameAr1387d 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 7211387d ago

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

Orchard1387d 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_Bomb1387d ago (Edited 1387d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1387d 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

yeahokwhatever1387d ago

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

Silly gameAr1386d ago (Edited 1386d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1387d ago (Edited 1387d 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.

Vanfernal1386d 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.

ScootaKuH1387d ago

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

Father__Merrin1386d 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?

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_DC1386d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1387d 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.

Ryushaa1387d 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.

jukins1387d 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.

Profchaos1387d 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.

yeahokwhatever1387d ago

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

EvertonFC1387d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1387d ago

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