Move-Enabling Patches May Cost You

Looking forward to the Move-capable updates of Heavy Rain and Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition? We imagine there are several more updates on the horizon, but you'd imagine having already bought the game and controller you wouldn't have to shell out again to use them together. Well, you might be wrong.

It only does charging for patches.

They charge for upressing older games from the PS2 era(Something which depending on hardware, happens for free on older PC games) call them remakes lol. Its a company after all making patches will cost them man hours, Why should this come as a surprise?

I think your confused. The quote indicated that 3rd party publishers may charge. This is a Sony Q&A, they cant categorically say either way if they (3rd party) will charge or not. Sony obviously wont charge (1st party games), they want people to buy Move, or those with Move, existing games.

8800gtx was dropped on his head when he was a baby.

He must have if he thinks his card is still relevant.

It only makes sence. The Developers Had to work extra to design the move gameplay and they have to get payed. But if they are going to charge for a move patch for Resi 5 there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't be able to play it on my launch copy that me and the real fans bought.

itsralf5400d ago

Capcom already stated that the Gold edition would be the only version with Move support. I also believe that the patch will be free. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the profits from the Gold edition were used to fund the Move patch. That was the whole point of them selling it.

I mean, that's the logical conclusion I come to... But Capcom is a somewhat greedy business, so who knows what they'll do. I'd be pissed if I bought the launch version, the Versus DLC, the Gold version and THEN i had to buy the patch for move. That's just shitty business. If that's how it plays out, screw Capcom. They'll be on my shitlist right next to Activision.

Money for added experiences >>> $10 because MS says they want more.

T9X695401d ago

If they charge for a patch for any game to enable Move support, that is just pathetic.

ActionBastard5401d ago

Shame you didn't understand what was written.

evrfighter5400d ago

sound like they want 3rd party developers to start doing it so that they don't end up looking like the bad guys.

jdktech20105401d ago

It makes sense....they're doing additional work they didn't get paid for in the initial purchase of the game. That being said, it's a shocker that Sony is a company that wants money just like Microsoft....Oh noes, what will the fanboys say now? (not trying to start a war, just pointing out a point)

ActionBastard5401d ago

I doubt Sony will charge for 1st party titles, but EA/ACTI/Ubi/THQ/2K can do what they want. Online pass anyone?

wiggles5401d ago

It's probably safe to say that RE5 Will be forced to pay for Move support being that they charged for versus.

Sony makes its ‘Move’ into PS3 motion control

Sony’s answer to wireless motion control offers three advantages over Nintendo’s technology: the movements are a lot more precise; because it’s a camera-based system, many games can put you in the game (such as seeing yourself on the screen in “Start the Party” and “EyePet”); and the PS3 offers high-definition graphics for a more photorealistic experience over the Wii’s standard-definition visuals.

Wow this game looks interesting, I cant see it working co-op style as a friend helping would probably lead to an argument lol. Its only $10 so i will give it a try.

Rip-Ridah5386d ago

Well worth the price of admission. There is a demo in the PS Store if you'd like to try before you buy.

Lovable5386d ago

This game is the reason to buy a Move. It's absolutely addicting. Like I said before, it's simple, yet so good.

PirateThom5386d ago

Tried the demo, while I doubt I'd buy the game, this may be the best "demo" for Move, accuracy, depth... just insane.

despair5386d ago

yea the guy who reviewed it is an idiot.

Cant spell Ignorance without IGN.

kaveti66165386d ago

I don't follow. If everyone else likes something and IGN doesn't, that makes IGN ignorant?

Do you guys think before you post over-used slogans and mantras like sheep?

coolbeans5386d ago

That's one of the biggest problems with the internet as a whole. Your reasoning is sound, and hopefully others will at least contemplate what you've said. (bubbles :D)

callahan095385d ago (Edited 5385d ago )

Yes, Kaveti, it does. This game is excellent. IGN giving it a 3.5 is disingenuous to their readers and unfair to the developers who poured their lives into making this game for however long. It has an impeccable presentation with crisp, pretty graphics, good music, a very soothing voice to the actress narrating everything, lots of variety in the missions, fun multiplayer, and incredibly accurate and impressive controls that do an excellent job of showing how the Move is a unique control scheme: this game couldn't be done on the Wii or Kinect, it requires the precision of the pointing device, which Kinect lacks, and the 3D depth tracking that the Wii lacks. It's a brilliant and inexpensive showcase for Move offering compelling puzzle experiences.

A 3.5 out of 10 is just simply the WRONG score. No opinion about it. It completely fails to acknowledge the factual features present in the game, from design to presentation to control and implementation of those schemes. It IS a good game. And the fact that IGN is the only reviewer that didn't like it is more evidence to the fact that the game itself is good, well-made, deserving of praise, and that IGN failed to see the title for what it is and tore it down for lack of that understanding.

foss35385d ago

IGN used to be good... until years ago when they started putting ads everywhere they went to the shitter.

They were one of the first sites that redirected you to a full page ad before sending you to your link. I remember seeing those and writing an email to IGN telling them I would no longer use their site because of all the spam.

Probably because they didn't get the exclusive first review.

IGN isn't relevant anymore.

Movemodo review: Racket Sports / Racquet Sports (PS3 / Move)

Quoting Movemodo's James Newton:

"With other Move titles making strides in gaming control, Racket Sports feels like a dinosaur; the motion-sensing is unreliable and could have been more accurately and enjoyably served by a button press, a disaster for any new motion control title. Racket Sports is precisely the kind of title we don’t want to see on Move. Save your money for the promising-looking Virtua Tennis 4."
