Jaffe Says No to Twisted Metal Move Support

StickSkills.com writes, "Officially announced at the Sony E3 Press Briefing, we learned that Twisted Metal would be making its return to the Playstation 3 next year. While a few details have been announced, along with a few gameplay videos, some gamers have wondered if the Playstation Move would be supported by the title."

[T9X69]

Good. Less time spent working on having support for a dumb peripheral, and more time spent on making the actual game better.

[stickskills]

If they used the combo of the navigation & move controller, it could work for certain game modes. I'd stay play it competitively with only a controller though lol.

[-Alpha]

I wouldn't really see how it would benefit much either.

@sticks

Well I could see it being used for shooting, but it sounds a little overly complicated having to use the wand as a reticule in a game where you are driving a vehicle

[stickskills]

Oh, I definitely agree. However, the navigation controller has an analog stick to drive around with, and then the move controller can be used to aim. I wouldn't personally use it, but hey, someone out there probably would. :P

[T9X69]

True, I'm sure it could work just fine, but it doesn't seem to fit in a TM game. Plus, I don't think every single game needs to support the Move, when most of the PS3 user base doesn't own one. Let's say it took them a month to get Move support working correctly, that month could have been used for a new map or something you know?

[Neckbear]

Completly agree with you, buddy.

[dredgewalker]

As much as I like Move, I think this is one of the games that won't work well with it.

[gamingdroid]

I would rather have PS Move support in games that are created from scratch for it instead of getting games retro-fitted with PS Move support in sub-par manner. I don't know why anyone would want that.

How many here actually used the PS Move instead of their DS3 when both options are available?

[MsmackyM]

Having the Move in TM doesn't make much sense on the head end. But if it could be used in conjunction with a racing wheel, where you could steer with you left and use the wand to aim and shoot independently would be awesome.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

they could make a new game mode, one person drives with the dual \shock and your buddy next to you uses the move for the machine gun, but just for something like endurance mode or challenge type modes. IDK they dont have to use move like say Socom 4 but it would be cool if it was implemented in a new cool way.

[Megaton]

Old news is old. He said this in E3 interviews. Interested in 3D, but not Move.

[PS3Freak]

Driving games do not need anything outside of a regular controller or a wheel.

[TrevorPhillips]

Good. Wouldnt work out...although, having 3D support for Twisted Metal would be awesome everything getting destroyed right infront of your own eyes. :D

[Ravenor]

It still happens right in front of you on a regular HDTV.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

For a vehicular combat game, with speed of 150 mph besides of that shooting at the same time, I don't know you will play with Move.

[TOO PAWNED]

but nerds want it!

[BLACKBOIJONES]

I dont care about the support. just bring out this game ASAP

[bustamove]

I didn't think it would work out though, in my opinion. That looks like a game you'll definitely have to use with a controller.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

No argument here. Agreed. I concur.

[Software_Lover]

Its just a freakin controller. And this isn't the type of game it should be used for IMHO. More time and money spent making your game good.

[BrutallyBlunt]

How many people do you know who drive while texting or dialing on their cells? I have even seen drivers read a newspaper while driving. The Move could work the same way.

I think this would be a great way to get a trophy on PSN, drive with one hand on the wheel while shooting with a Move controller. For real multitasking, flipping other drivers the bird on the Eye camera online.

[Rhezin]

has 7 disagrees? No this game should NOT be used by a move controller...just no. I will be getting move however, for Echochrome II and sorcery.

[raztad]

The real reason T9X is having so many disagrees is (IMO) calling MOVE a dumb peripheral. I disagreed with him. He doesnt know what he is talking about.

Regarding TM. Dont see how MOVE would be integrated so it is better not to tack it on.

[foker]

This is just stupid,..
how the hell would you play twisted metal with move???

Yes move is great ,.. I even prefer it to dualshock,(resi5, MAG) in a lot of types of games,.. but this post is just stupid,..

Why work around something If you have perfect controls,.. If Wii came with classic,.. Nintendo would not implement all the motion shit into Mario Kart,.. believe me,.. they just had to,.

If it works best,.. and it is available to all the customers,.. Stick with it ,..

[jneul]

keep move for games like fps, rts, and rpg's, move is very precise but it should not be used for this kind of game!!

[Troll_Police]

I wish David Cage said NO too, if he did we would have Heavy Rain DLC.

[unrealgamer58]

Does every game need move support?

I mean If anything there should be a push for older games to receive move support, Just think heavenly sword (or folklore etc.) with move and trophy support.

I guarantee those games will have a boost In sales.

[Darkspade]

Great News,

[BrianC6234]

Twisted Metal is a game that doesn't need Move support. Some games can work okay with it but it shouldn't be used in every game.

[TheOldOne]

i honestly cant see how move would work for this game

[naiyo]

using the move for pointer and camera movements with the navi for steering sound great to me. Ppl that hate the idea is ppl that never try this type of control setup before.

[Si-Fly]

It's just adding the support for a new device for the sake of it though! Playtesting killzone with move has already revealed that the optimum way to play online is using a DS3. Move should be for new gameplay experiences rather than shoe-horning it into game types that work with a traditional controller, thank you Jaffe.

[skrug]

just like FPS with keyboard and mouse right?

[btk]

Might be a bad ...move.
As more and more games support motion controls, those without will start to suffer in sales. But then - that would depend on the number of Motion Controllers in the market.

[0oAngeluso0]

It makes no sense for it to support Move honestly. I wouldn't want to use a motion control device for a racing game.

[blackburn5]

That's okay. Move maybe versitile but any sensible person can see it can't do everything. Driving is one of those things. No need to try to cram Move into everything whether it fits or not. At least developers aren't going to pretend that you can use it to drive with efficiently like some another motion control does

[NotSoSilentBob]

This guy should say no to video games in General. Yes he had good ideas but his ego and mouth get the best of him.

[zero_cool]

First of all it dose not take a month to implement move controls into a game the process is fairly simple & fast.Secondly the move can be used for aiming & the navigator can by used for driving plus both controllers have buttons so that covers mapping other actions in twisted metal.Finally move isn't stupid if you don't like it don't buy it but it don't mean others are not because the controllers dose what it's designed for & it dose it extremely well so stop this mindless bashing.

[Si-Fly]

No ones saying move is stupid, I bought mine on release day but that doesn't mean developers need to cram it into every game when it would be counter intuitive for certain genres!

I'm happy using mine for sports champions and flight control until a Move specific game is released.

[EskiJoe]

Well if you read the first comment, it says "dumb peripheral" refering to Move... So someone is saying that its dumb.

[Si-Fly]

Okay, sorry, didn't read that! All the comments I read against implementing move weren't slagging off Move as a device but merely stating it's not needed for every game.

Move implementation in Driving games is a "dumb" idea however, surely that's worth an agree from you?

[pixelsword]

Thank goodness; everything doesn't have to have Move.

[Si-Fly]

Love to know which kid that spent his hard earned pocket money on Move is disagreeing with you lol! The guy probably wants move integration in gt5 so he can waggle his wand to wreck havoc online...

[TroyAndAbed]

I love Move.

It would be unnecessary for it to be in Twisted Metal, however. I can't wait for TM!!!

[thesithfreak]

i'm so glad he's not wasting development time and money on move. not every game needs move. i feel like its clogging up development time on great games like killzone 3 and socom 4. i hope resistance 3 doesn't waste time on it. quit invading our pure games with your wii rip off crap

[Der_Kommandant]

All i want is a remake of Twisted Metal 2

[Troll_Police]

I want a Twisted Metal HD collection with Twisted Metal 1, 2, and Black.

[gamingisnotacrime]

release date? lol

[zero_cool]

Where's the majority peoples sense of creativity these days talk about limited imaginations lmfao!

[Si-Fly]

Putting move into a game that doesn't require it is the definition of "limited imagination" lol.

[blackburn5]

What irritates me is the stupid attitude gamers have about the Move. I agree it might be not so suited for a driving game but what is this nonsense about 'Move infecting the purity of games' and 'it will spoil gaming' nonsense? Move does not take long to implement into a game, so this development time 'wasted' as you put it is exaggeration.Also everyone seems to think that you have a gun pointed at your head forcing to use the Move or even 3D. If I think that Move works for me, fine. I am sure I can kick your butts just as hard with a Move in my hand. If you don't like it then stay out of it. This barely effects you in anyway. Sony still has a stellar line up even without Move. You don't have to point out that you prefer the DSC every second. No one really cares if you want to cling to the DSC like security blanket because you might lose a couple of games getting used to the Move .Stop bothering the ones who aren't scared to step up and try the alernitive to it, instead of whining and whimpering about it.

[segamaniaco]

sony should OBLIGATE all ps3 games to support move like it did about trophies last year

if a softhouse desagree so sony get it out of PS3

ps3 doesnt need softhouses that dont colaborate

[GLoRyKnoT]

No no

[Prcko]

old news guys

[Djinn]

Damn. Every time I see Jaffe, I want to break his nose

[IHateYouFanboys]

are we really going to get an article on here every time a PS3 game doesnt have Move support? geez louise......

if there was ever a game that you would never ever ever even suggest should be made Move compatible, its Twisted Metal. why on earth would anyone think it would be better with Move? youre driving a freaking car, not playing tennis. when i drove to work this morning i didnt do it holding a dildo in my hand, frantically waving it around - i had a steering wheel and gearstick in my hands.

not every game needs to support Move. the only games that should have Move support are games that are made for Move specifically, or ones where it feels NATURAL to have it, ie. Golf, Tennis, etc.
