Which PlayStation Move games are worth your cash?

CVG: "Sony's Wii-style motion controller, PlayStation Move is finally here. The first batch of games are all first-party Sony titles - with the exception of Namco Bandai's Time Crisis - but expect more publishers to embrace the technology in 2011.

Move's motion-sensing is really impressive, but few of these games use it to its full potential, at least; not consistently. We won't start seeing the really great Move games for a few months, but these are a good start."

for now not many but in the next few months:
killzone 3, socom 4 and hopefully Virtua tennis 4(move+3D) will make it a wothwhile investment

Washington-Capitals5273d ago

I still havent been able to purchase a camera or controller, its just to expensive and atm its more like, do i save my money and buy 2 games or get a move bundle... obviously for my needs i would take the games. If there is something good on boxing day i will definitely pick it up.

marinelife95273d ago

The Fight Light's out. I don't care what the reviewers say the game is fun especially online.

Stationfan5273d ago

I agree, i just wish it had a bigger community.

GenericUserName5273d ago

wait, there aren't any 3rd party Move only games?

eggbert5273d ago

The Fight: Lights out is actually pretty good. Wouldn't call it AAA, but I'd give it a 7-8.5. When you first start out, your character is going to be clunky though. You'll need to play a bit and upgrade your characters stats before he'll start following you 1:1.

I think that's the consensus with most people though since the user reviews for the game on Amazon/Metacritic/Gamerankings are all much higher than the Reviewer ratings.

TooTall195273d ago

I like The Fight also. The patch making your character see-through made the game even better.

badz1495273d ago

when reviewers play the game for an hour at most and give their verdict!

Bathyj5273d ago

Tumble definately deserves more love than its getting.

If you want an example of perfect 1:1 tracking, movement on every axis as well as rotation on every axis, tumble is it.

Not to mention its a blast with a friend and I'm usually not into these type of games.

snp5273d ago (Edited 5273d ago )

Yeah, i just bought a starter pack. Wasn't completely sure i'd get enough use, but had local sale on for 50% so for that figured... why not. Nothing to lose at that price.

Tumble is definitely, at least on samples on starter disc, the one that stood out. Flawless execution.

Bizarre, really, some of the low scores it's got (esp IGN's 35% utter nonsense). I can understand the aesthetics not appealing to everyone (it's very clean, simple, no frills - though personally i like that), but to be getting such low scores when it's such a perfect implementation of exactly what it's trying to be... And when it's selling at a relatively cheap price, to (for full version). Again, not sure where the many of the critics heads are at on this one.

Bathyj5273d ago

I love thats clean, simple graphics style, especially on PSN or not full priced games.

And you got it right. Its not trying to be the next Halflife or next big thing in gaming. It just does what it set out to do and nails it perfectly. Flawless Execution.

And I have to admit, that womans voice.
"You've got a Gold medal."
Every time she says it I smile and think "shucks, arent you sweet".

jneul5273d ago

simple some people love to hate on motion controls no matter how good the controls or the game is / end rant

MisterAV5273d ago

Sorcerty will be, now I play only ping pong and gladiator with Sport Champion

Buffniceguy5273d ago

Mag,Resident Evil 5,Heavy Rain,Get Fit With Mel B etc etc there is alot.

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.

jznrpg218d ago

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

Cacabunga217d ago

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

just_looken217d ago

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

Relientk77218d ago

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

Lexreborn2217d 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.

SullysCigar1346d 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.

bouzebbal1346d ago

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

thorstein1346d ago

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

Bigman4k1346d ago (Edited 1346d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1347d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1347d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1347d 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 7211347d 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??

yeahokwhatever1346d 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.

SullysCigar1346d 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.

LordoftheCritics1347d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1347d 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?

Profchaos1346d ago

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

RedDevils1346d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1347d ago (Edited 1347d 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.

1347d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1347d ago

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

thorstein1346d 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 gameAr1347d 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 7211347d ago

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

Orchard1347d 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_Bomb1347d ago (Edited 1347d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1347d 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

yeahokwhatever1346d ago

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

Silly gameAr1346d ago (Edited 1346d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1346d ago (Edited 1346d 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.

Vanfernal1346d 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.

ScootaKuH1346d ago

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

Father__Merrin1346d 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 Mammo1346d 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_DC1346d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1347d 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.

Ryushaa1347d 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.

jukins1347d 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.

Profchaos1346d 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.

yeahokwhatever1346d ago

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

EvertonFC1347d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1346d ago

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