The calibration can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but overall, this is one nice piece of hardware!

Cevapi885388d ago

don't freak out when you take your tv, ps3, and move outside and try to play a game....

poopsack5388d ago

Im pretty sure this man (Cevapi) was being sarcastic

hakis865388d ago

But you never know! A few weeks back some idiots were outside in the sun with their beercans and PSMove - and "OMG the calibration doesn't work!!!" (although the move kinda worked, haha :-) ).

Cevapi885388d ago

are people really this slow?? i was calling out the idiots who took the move outside with their ps3 and tv....this is why people lose faith in humanity....people cant laugh things off

Not only did this thing not work well outside in bright daylight, its performance was terrible underwater when I tried using it at a pool party I just threw. Major disappointment.

Because taking your 'TV' and Ps3 out in the sun makes soo much sense..
esp. if you are a HDTV owner, I doubt you'd want to move it bcoz you feel like playing Move outside..

*sighs* Only if SOCOM4/Dead Space 2/K2 would come out earlier I wouldn't be stuck mainly playing Demos until their release! >:)

jjacinto235388d ago

The calibration is only takes 5 seconds........OFF TOPIC i was playing the Glladiator and the archery with TWO MOVE and i like it how it feels.... shoot is amazing too the only game that i didn't pay attention is the Kung Fu Rider and "get fit will mel B" so far i love the move

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5387d ago

The Calibration only takes like 5 seconds.

"Playstation Move for Playstation 3 is Available this Wednesday the 17th September for €39.99 stand alone or €59.99 bundled with the Playstation Eye"
Somebody needs to look at a calendar more often.

WildArmed5388d ago

lmfao +bubs

I think the guy is still stuck in '08.
17th Sept was a Wednesday in 2008.

T9X695388d ago

Well at least they got the actual date right of Sept 17, that woman on Fox news said the 19th, but then again the way she was talking, she seemed a little "slow".

WildArmed5388d ago (Edited 5388d ago )

Major retailers are listing it as 17th Sept 2010(!)

While SONY is listing it as 19th Sept 2010*

* http://blog.us.playstation....

So actually, the Fox News 'reporter'(i think that was the word you were looking for ^^ ) was right on the mark

T9X695388d ago

Ahh I see, well either Sony is slow and don't know their own release date, or major retailers are stupid lol.

DigitalRaptor5388d ago

Hello? Region specific relase dates anyone?

Mainland Europe - 15th September
UK - 17th September
North America - 19th September
Japan - 21st September

MachinaMaw5388d ago

It would be cool if you could detach the glowing ball and throw it around.

memots5388d ago

Would you like to smack those balls around too?
glowing balls excite you?

Army_of_Darkness5388d ago

Oh yeah man! its the smartest thing ever!! spend $59 for the move controller just to detach the glowing ball and smash it to little itsy bitsy pieces!!!
F#@Kin brilliant idea bro......

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5388d ago (Edited 5388d ago )

If that happen, then Sony would sell Glowing balls to buy for less than $5.

gta_manic5388d ago

@ ALFAxD_CENTAURO
Ya and M$ would sell them for $50, also just curious, would the ball end rip or detached easily, I've never had those balls in my hands(ya i just did that)

darkequitus5388d ago

I guest I have been off the ball. I did not realize it was being released so soon.
I want that Sorcery game, so it is going to be a $130 + game investment. I put off buy until its release date. They may have a bundle then.

GrooveChampion5388d ago

Wouldn't it only cost $140 since it's a first party game and you don't need a nav-controller? You can use a dualshock/sixaxis instead.

The Sports Champion bundle is $99 right now. Sorcery is first party and supposedly those are going to be $40 if it's move only.

darkequitus5388d ago

I did a dummy runny holding the sixaxis in my hand. I don't like it. I'd prefer to spend the $30 and get the sub-controller. I suppose there is no harm getting the sports bundle now and the sub when sorcery comes out.

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.

jznrpg243d ago

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

Cacabunga242d ago

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

just_looken242d ago

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

Relientk77243d ago

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

Lexreborn2242d 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.

SullysCigar1371d 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.

bouzebbal1371d ago

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

thorstein1371d ago

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

Bigman4k1371d ago (Edited 1371d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1372d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1372d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1372d 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 7211372d 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??

yeahokwhatever1372d 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.

SullysCigar1371d 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.

LordoftheCritics1372d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1372d 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?

Profchaos1371d ago

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

RedDevils1371d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1372d ago (Edited 1372d 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.

1372d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1372d ago

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

thorstein1371d 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 gameAr1372d 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 7211372d ago

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

Orchard1372d 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_Bomb1372d ago (Edited 1372d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1372d 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

yeahokwhatever1372d ago

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

Silly gameAr1371d ago (Edited 1371d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1372d ago (Edited 1372d 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.

Vanfernal1371d 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.

ScootaKuH1371d ago

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

Father__Merrin1371d 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 Mammo1371d 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_DC1371d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1372d 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.

Ryushaa1372d 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.

jukins1372d 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.

Profchaos1371d 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.

yeahokwhatever1372d ago

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

EvertonFC1372d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1372d ago

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