Game-Boyz: PlayStation Move and Launch Games Review

Game-Boyz writes: "Ever since the PlayStation Move was first unveiled and demoed for the public over a year ago, I have been somewhat sceptical. To me it didn’t appear to offer anything more than a Wii-like experience on the PS3. Now that I’ve had about a week or so to get my hands on it and to play some of the games, I have to say that I am quite impressed. Being the first real competitor of the Wii to hit the market, in terms of motion control, the comparisons to Nintendo’s console are inevitable. That being said, I see great potential in the PlayStation Move, but it will be up to the games to make it successful."

Why is everyone ignoring Heavy Rain and RE5 Gold Edition. Those 2 and Sports Champions are the only PS Move launch games to own imo.

Bigpappy5334d ago

You think they should go back and review every game that they patch Move to play with?

uxo225334d ago

I agree, a game had to be patched to be Move compatible and was released months before Move should not be considered a Move "launch" title.

Perhaps they should call them Move compatible titles.

masterofpwnage5334d ago

well yeah.
its a whole new experience in gameplay.

i bet you some people who has the move that was turned off by heavyrains gameplay and saw the move game play and likes it probably want it.

i dont see enough review for resident evil because i for one like playing with it with motion

JUDALATION5334d ago

And it is the best move implemented game ive seen in terms of realism... Hustle KINGS is a pool game with insane graphics and add ons online multiplayer

CrawFail5333d ago

really? i though hustle kings was the worst implementation of move out of all the games i've played using it.
my favourite would be tumble.

rroded5333d ago

is heavy rain still workin on me backlog n res evil is pure pawn with the move works better than the dualshock.

PS Move seems pretty cool but im waiting till after the first of the year to grab mine. Just waiting for more games to come out for it.

raztad5334d ago

I'm gonna replay you because your avatar.

Just finished a couple of Sabotage rounds in MAG (playin as SVER). I kicked a lot of azz with MOVE, first in my platoon. Once you got used to MOVE, the headshots are easier than ever. So much fun.

JoeReno5334d ago (Edited 5334d ago )

Move + MAG = win

Do you know which button is for knifen'?

jerethdagryphon5334d ago

why does everyone complain sports champions lacks online

so does wiisports

yes online would be great
but its hardly a dealbreaker

me and my friends have far more fun playing in person

blackburn55334d ago

because it's the PS3. It it written that by law it must be treated more harshly then any other system. Everyone knows that.

Dannycr5334d ago

might not be possible due to latency. I prefer to play 1:1 motions in Table Tennis, than have laggy online matches. Plus, playing with friends there is way more fun.

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.

jznrpg215d ago

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

Cacabunga214d ago

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

just_looken214d ago

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

Relientk77215d ago

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

Lexreborn2214d 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.

SullysCigar1343d 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.

bouzebbal1343d ago

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

thorstein1343d ago

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

Bigman4k1343d ago (Edited 1343d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1344d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1344d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1344d 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 7211344d 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??

yeahokwhatever1343d 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.

SullysCigar1343d 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.

LordoftheCritics1344d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1344d 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?

Profchaos1343d ago

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

RedDevils1343d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1344d ago (Edited 1344d 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.

1344d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1344d ago

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

thorstein1343d 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 gameAr1344d 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 7211344d ago

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

Orchard1344d 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_Bomb1344d ago (Edited 1344d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1344d 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

yeahokwhatever1343d ago

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

Silly gameAr1343d ago (Edited 1343d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1343d ago (Edited 1343d 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.

Vanfernal1343d 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.

ScootaKuH1343d ago

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

Father__Merrin1343d 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 Mammo1343d 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_DC1343d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1344d 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.

Ryushaa1344d 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.

jukins1344d 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.

Profchaos1343d 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.

yeahokwhatever1343d ago

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

EvertonFC1344d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1343d ago

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