Start the party was never on my Move buy list, but maybe someday if it's really cheap and i know ill have people to play with, i might pick it up.

Forbidden_Darkness5416d ago

I only have so much money to spend and too many games to buy, so i can only buy certain games at full price :(

jack_burt0n5416d ago (Edited 5416d ago )

Its a party game lol thats why its twenty odd quid, its super casual and the kids love it.

Dont think anyone will be buying it for singleplayer marathon sessions.
That was the only complaint too short and not much fun in singleplayer.

The key to these titles is making sure they are cheap making it under £25 is crucial all the move games i pre ordered i managed to get for £22 so thats like $35.

@darkness
yeah for sure

Forbidden_Darkness5416d ago

Yeah, it's made for multiple people in mind and im sure it would be a great laugh for the family to enjoy.

The best thing about this game is the augmented reality, it defiently makes me wonder how that can be pushed even farther...

aceitman5416d ago

i had a house party and to be honest everyone loved start the party it is fun ..i have to disagree with the review

Forbidden_Darkness5416d ago

@aceitman: That's good to hear it's fun with friends, i'd rather listen to real gamers have to think about games anyways.

Ivan Drago IV5416d ago

Psssh, screw gaming journalists snobs.. This game looks amazingly fun. Why can't journalists just judge a game on it's fun factor.. What where they expecting, something deep and hard like Demon's souls?

Forbidden_Darkness5416d ago

Apparently so, I also think journalists have to be reminded that it's a 40 dollar game, not 60 also. With a family or friends, this game would be great fun.

JBroken5416d ago

But you guys sound like you're being defensive. 67 is not a bad score for a casual game. And even if you didn't plan on getting it, you do not need to justify the score or console by saying so. The score remains as it is even if you hadn't planned on getting it. Though I suspect that isn't what you would have said if the score was 90 or 80

tiamat55416d ago

I am going to have to think very carefully about these reviews. I have a feeling they are going to be very divided. For instance as a party game it shouldn't have lost points for a short single player. Also in the Sports Champions review they stated that the characters were bland but when you think about it the armless characters in Wii Sports were bland too, so why should this game lose points for it? Just because the characters aren't dress goofily or are weirdly shaped? I am going to have to think about these reviews carefully to see they are just nitpicking or really concerned about these issues.

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_looken256d ago

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

Relientk77257d ago

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

Lexreborn2257d 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.

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.

LOGICWINS1386d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1386d 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 7211386d 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??

yeahokwhatever1386d 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.

LordoftheCritics1386d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1386d 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?

Profchaos1386d ago

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

RedDevils1386d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1386d ago (Edited 1386d 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.

1386d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1386d 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 gameAr1386d 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 7211386d ago

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

Orchard1386d 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_Bomb1386d ago (Edited 1386d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1386d 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

yeahokwhatever1386d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1386d ago (Edited 1386d 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.

ScootaKuH1386d 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?

Silly Mammo1386d 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_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.

Profchaos1386d 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.

yeahokwhatever1386d 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.

yeahokwhatever1386d ago

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