I really hope this does not cause an advantage for the person using this. If it gets too popular, sony might ban it.

CobraKai5117d ago

Is there really a chance for something like this to get banned? I mean it does give the player a major advantage over DS3 players. I may get it considering how much I suck at MP shooters.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5117d ago

So, PS Move players will get banned too for game like Socom 4 or Killzone 3?

morganfell5117d ago

No because Sony can tell if you use a DS3 or a Move. For example, Ter Heide stated that Guerrilla is still play testing to determine if they are going to use separate servers for Move and the DS3.

They may be able to tell with this device as well. In UT3 they could tell if you were using KB/M or a DS3 and you had a choice of DS3, K/B and M, or both. This ability to tell was due to your control selection in the menu. But it could also have something to do with an ID transmitted by the DS3 .

Schobeleth5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

This will give it's owners a HUGE advantage over others in any game, most especially shooters. Think about it, instead of the analog sticks you just have your mouse to whip the camera around, the movement is so much faster, most especially in Killzone 2.

Edit: PS Move support for games that have online multiplayer will be interesting. I'm wondering if they'll do what Unreal Tournament 3 did, separate it via control set up? This is, of course if the Move support gives a big advantage over traditional DS3 support.

This adapter though is definitely a major advantage over any set up as it has both mouse and keyboard. I can already imagine the people doing jumping 360 no-scope headshots in online multiplayer -_-

eggbert5117d ago

have hugely reduced accuracy when jumping don't they? I mean you get lucky every once in a while, but usually only noobs spray and pray.

Schobeleth5117d ago

That comment was mostly to make fun of people who actually try for stuff like that in shooters.. I just play them for fun :P

morganfell5117d ago

That so called huge advantage goes away when you are in close quarters. The in ability to turn rapidly then go immediately back to long range abilities, then back to close quarters will sooner or later have you putting this away.

In any TPS title with an independent camera (Splinter Cell is an example) these things are really useless as that rotational camera will beat your butt on a KB/M.

When the Smartjoy came out ( http://gear.ign.com/article... ) people tried playing HALO 2 with it and were dusted. They IGN is wrong about the sensitivity adjustment. There actually is a method for adjusting it - you just can't change it on the fly and that killed you.

NegativeCreepWA5117d ago

Sony doesn't care if multi player is balanced or they would of never allowed K/M to be used in the first place. I consider it cheating, just like using controllers with turbo and macros.

n4gno5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

It's the reason why PS3 fps makers should always allow mouse/keyboard on PS3, like for unreal tournament, with separated servers(mouse/ds3/mouse+ds3... and move why not).

You'll always see some cheaters with that kind of accessory, but way less, if every gamers who wants to play with a mouse, can play without buying the accessory.

" if they really do fix that horrible aiming system."

it's probably difficult when you are an auto-aim addict, but the system is just perfect !

My money just transferred to my Paypal. So ordering one of these.

evrfighter5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

y hello thar derek.

lemme know how it works out. I use the xim on the ps3 with a cross battle adapter from xfps. if you like it add me to psn or xbl same name. though atm I'm playing reach. I'll probably pickup kz3 if they really do fix that horrible aiming system.

I've used the xfps sniper plus for the 360 and while I can still top frag in mw2. I'm always fighting my aim. very not fun. I hope the eagle eye gives you more customizable controls than xfps did at least.

xim360 imo is the best device for a pc gamer if they are switching to a 360. A good review from Panda would seal the deal with many pc gamers here at n4g If they are looking to tryout a console.

Newtype5117d ago

Why didn't you buy it from Amazon? Free shipping.

Pandamobile5117d ago

Didn't have it on Amazon.ca.

DrewPays5117d ago

Im impressed with how well you did in KZ2

eggbert5117d ago

Since a lot of future games will support move, i'm wondering if I should get this adapter along with the move or not. I'm mainly a PC gamer, so my preferred method is keyboard and mouse. I don't know if I should drop an additional $50 for this though if I am already getting Move.

Kontraband815117d ago

Move will only work with games designed for Move. This adapter will work with any game.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

Not only designed only for Move, also DS3 Controller games like Killzone 3, Socom 4, RE5, MAG and more are getting PS Move support.

eggbert5117d ago

with console games, people generally tend to abandon games a lot faster than they do on PC. I'd expect most of my friends are planning on buying KZ3, Socom, etc in the future, and most of them have stopped playing games like WaW, KZ2, Resistance 2, etc. I'm expecting most of the major games to be getting move support in the future, it doesn't seem too hard to incorporate afterall.

I'd just like to see how much of a difference there really is between a mouse and keyboard. If the Move can mimic the accuracy well enough, I could save myself some cash.

xTruthx5117d ago

Well from a pc gamer to another, Im sure it will be a lot easier and more natural(for FPS) with the mouse and keyboard than with the move. + pretty sure you'll get tired of holding it up for long periods of time.

Nintendo Accused of 'Bullying' in Weak Patent Dispute Over Palworld

The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.

Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.

Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.

porkChop2d ago

That's the thing, this is why we're now seeing more serious competitors in the genre. Game Freak has just been coasting by, doing the bare minimum in innovation for the last 20+ years. They need to get with the times. Hire more devs, give more dev time to foster creativity, etc. But now that they can't get away with that bare minimum they're trying to sue their competitors out of existence. It's disgusting.

Cacabunga20h ago

Nintendo risks big with this one.. it’s means competition to pokemon and that they dont want

gold_drake2d ago

been saying this since sun and moon.

gamefreak just isnt used to, still isnt used to, the console market. they did well on the handheld space but as a complete 3d developer z they fail miserable

the last two pkmn gens look like gamecube games. not to mention the bugs at launch.

but uve seen the ridiculous anount of copies sold at launch too.

Profchaos1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Realistically though palworld Pokemon with guns featured so many themes and concepts that Nintendont
There's no way they would make a game where you could use realistic weapons or have pals slaving away.

They're not the same genre at all they just feature similar characters

Markdn1d 1h ago

Can't hide plagerism I guess, Palworld had it easy, even flaunting it, they deserve ever thing Nintendo decides to throw at them.

FinalFantasyFanatic1d 13h ago

I pretty much agree, two editions of the same game shouldn't even been a thing at this point. The foundations are solid, but the lack of content and having a lived in world really let the latest games down.

Profchaos1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Two editions worked way back in the day as a gimmick hey your mate has different Pokemon in blue than you have in red so trade them but nowadays it's pointless we don't have any of those limitations system links not really a thing anymore and two editions feels exploitive nowadays like they are targeting kids to double dip

badz1491d 11h ago

why would they do that when the fanbase is still willing to buy whatever low-effort and low-cost crap they are churning out? they are out to make as much money as possible with as little investment as possible and say what you want but GF is excellent at that front mainly because the fanbase allows them to. Nintendo is saying nothing because they are making money.

posting articles from msn.com now seriously?

The article is actually Gamesradar's. MSN just used their page like a URL shortened link.

Pyrofire951d 17h ago

Yeah, they've been bullies.

MeteorPanda1d 17h ago

It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.

I have to disagree. Personally, I feel like DD2 still needs a lot of optimization. I really dislike games that try to sell a bunch of DLC when their game is still a mess.

Redgrave1d 21h ago

This, RDR2, Bloodborne.... and of course, Life of Black Tiger.
