PlayStation Move is a Winner - Ripten

The PlayStation Move accomplishes everything Sony executives said it would: It provides an excellent precise 1:1 motion gaming experience for both hardcore and casual gamers.

CrzyFooL5375d ago

I don't know about hardcore yet.

8-bit5375d ago

Is it weird that I do victory dances when I score a point in Table tennis? He didnt celebrate much

JoeReno5375d ago

The last gold cup match is hardcore fo sho

Sarcasm5375d ago

lol@video

I have some pretty thugged out friends that I recently found out one plays on WoW.

He really doesn't fit the usual demographic to say the least.

dkblackhawk505375d ago

In before the....oh damn CrzyFool beat me :(

jaredhart5375d ago

lol, at least he didn't type "1st".

vicious69835375d ago

I might have to take a look at the Move now. I just assumed it was going to be garbage.

HydraxFFx5375d ago

You shouldn't assume because when you assume.........

bratman5375d ago

you make an (ass) out of (u) and (me)? :D

8-bit5375d ago

Try it and you will be impressed. Tabl tennis is a great example of the 1 to 1 and RE5 shows how well it works with games you already love.

amiga-man5375d ago

I must admit,I wasn't particularly interested in the move, motion controls wern't for me, probably because of the experience i have had with the wii.
I bought one with the thought of giving it a try, and if it didnt work out, i would wrap it up for christmas, for my daughters.
well its fair to say it's nothing like the wii, and your actions really make a difference to the game, my mate tried it, not knowing much about the Move, and left impressed and picked one up for himself, have just spent saturday night, playing sports champions with my mate, he has me beat on table tennis, i have him beat in frisbee golf and Bocca, great fun.

Valay5375d ago

I think everyone knows what they're getting with Move at this point... It's a very good product.

MaximusPrime5375d ago

PS Move is very very good. more accurate than Wiimote.

I admit that I love playing boule. it was tense game

bfenty5375d ago

Im still not sure about it...

Bell Boy5375d ago

so find somewhere to try it out..

I spent most of night on Sports Champions last night totally hooked, can't wait for time crisis now as the shoot was pretty fun...may actually get that too when it eventually drops in price

jaredhart5375d ago

I'm friends with Bfenty and he doesn't own a PS3.

Bell Boy5375d ago

Who disagreed ...lol

Your right obviously did not play and enjoy Sports Champions last night...am not bothered Time Crisis releases soon..and didn't enjoy a spin on the shoot

Some people on here...you really have to pity how it must upset them that people enjoy things they don't...is that you omega?

ozps35375d ago

What's there not to b sure about? 99% of the review and user feedback is very positive. U think all these people are lying?

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.

jznrpg242d ago

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

Cacabunga241d ago

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

just_looken241d ago

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

Relientk77242d ago

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

Lexreborn2241d 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.

SullysCigar1370d 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.

bouzebbal1370d ago

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

thorstein1370d ago

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

Bigman4k1370d ago (Edited 1370d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1371d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d 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 7211371d 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??

yeahokwhatever1371d 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.

SullysCigar1370d 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.

LordoftheCritics1371d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d 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.

LordoftheCritics1371d ago (Edited 1371d 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.

1371d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d ago

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

thorstein1370d 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 gameAr1371d 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 7211371d ago

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

Orchard1371d 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_Bomb1371d ago (Edited 1371d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d 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

yeahokwhatever1371d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1371d ago (Edited 1371d 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.

Vanfernal1370d 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__Merrin1370d 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 Mammo1370d 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_DC1370d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1371d 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.

Ryushaa1371d 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.

jukins1371d 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.

yeahokwhatever1371d ago

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

EvertonFC1371d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1371d ago

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