Philosophically, Sony's trying to secure the middle ground in the motion-control landscape. The overall experience doesn't feel as contrived as some Wii games and most Move games look tons better than anything on the Wii. And the cognitive jump that Move asks players to make doesn't feel quite as weird as the controller-free
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.
Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever
That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
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.
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.
The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games
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".
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...
@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??
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.
"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.
I would say both Move and Kinect weren't supported properly.
Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.
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?
I so t think Sony abandoned the move it's technically repurposed and still supported on the ps5 just for VR
@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.
I don't deal in "what if". It wasn't supported right and even if it was it was still a gimmick.
"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.
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.
“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…
Shoot I forgot about Dead Space Extraction and Umbrella Chronicles. Had those too. Still do (digital).
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
@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.
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.
@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.
It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Replies(2)99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..
Socom, killzone, resistance and tiger wood 14 were great with the move but agree lacked more games.
There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.
From the article - "That must-buy game may be a ways off, though, and that may pose a problem for Sony as they try to get people to buy into the Move phenomenon."
The fact that so many released games can be patched to support Move gives it a definite compretitive edge. The core gamers will pick Move up to play titles such as Heavy Rain, RE Gold, Dead Sapce Extraction, etc. And then you have the upcoming list of hardcore games like SOCOM4, Killzone 3, MAG, that will draw in more of the hardcore. For the casuals - well they'll have the usual "ware"!
I agree that there is not a 'killer app' yet for the Move - but Sony's strategy (unlike M$) is not to focus on one or two titles, but to invest in a variety of titles. A strategy which has paid off for Sony with its PS3 exclusives (unlike M$ whos cupboard seems to be running bare come 2011).
In any case all eyes are on Sorcery right now, and from the early previews it's looking promising. It's the closest thing to a killer app for the Move which appeals to both hardcore and casual gamers.
But I have to ask the question - with so many games supporting Move anyway, and with it's up coming games line up - does it really require a killer app?
I like the way you think. ;P
Oh come one, there's over 50 games we already know about, there must me something/s that tickle peoples fancy as a must buy.
Ill but Move at sum point, im in NO rush, i liked Ruse but DIDNT like playin it with me DS3 um but yeah, i like the idea of layin across my big ass sofa (stoned) and not havin 2 use TWO hands (holdin me DS3) just 2 fast forward or pause a movie (just finished watchin Robin Hood)/tv show (started watchin Dexter 2 weeks ago, watched em all now) or music (always listenin 2 music) so Move has bit of multi-purpose 4 me, im sick of usin my DS3 2 do simple jobs, i could hav a smoke or a beer in the other hand, or i could go for the plain old "hand down me trouser" routine
As u may tell, ive been drinkin/smokin, im findin it hard t o type right now so i think i better stop, andi ibve just finished cookin sum sausage sandwiches and its made me feel REAALLY sick, if i stiop typin i coud go 2 the toilet and b sick
I am so confused. One site praises Tumble, another calls it crap. One site says Move has a lot of problems, another says it's perfect. Sports Champions and Start the Party get really low scores in one site and get way above average on others. I want the Move but I am confused by the big divide. I mean someone took away points from Start the Party for a short single player but for a party game why does that matter so much? Are these people just nitpicking Sony games as per usual or are these actual concerns? Sigh.
