Earlier I posted news of the Move.me app. One major question was is this available to everyone? Disappointing news...

sinncross4895d ago

Yeah a select few seems a little lame. But if its a process where they start making it more open over time, then thats fine, at the very least.

callahan094894d ago

I dunno if this is true, though. It sounds a lot like speculation to me. He is choosing to interpret a couple of words used in the press announcement to assume that it won't be available to everyone, but he's not quoting anyone from Sony when he says it won't be available to everyone, he's literally just making up an assumption and he does a really good job of stating it like it's a fact.

On the PS Blog, they announced it and said: "It allows anyone with a PS3 to experiment with motion controls and is officially sanctioned and supported by Sony Computer Entertainment." Why would they announce it on their public blog and say something like THAT if it wasn't going to be available to "anyone with a PS3." It would be an out-right lie.

So DigitalTrends is interpreting one word to say it's not going to be available to everyone, and completely ignoring the statement that blatantly says it WILL be available to everyone with a PS3.

Yep, I think you are right. I found an official link.

It looks to me like early availability will be limited, but it will eventually be available to anyone who wants it.

blackburn54895d ago

Okay. I can live with that. Give it to the people that can make the most use out of it. But it would be cool if you gave it to us to play with too eventually. Unless they are afraid of what hackers might do to misuse it.

DanSolo4894d ago

Well personally I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.... but I am more than happy to experience and enjoy whatever the people who do know what they are doing with it, make from it!

hesido4894d ago

Why is Sony afraid of widespread dissemination of Move? They should open it to PC development.

Arksine4894d ago

The PSBlog entry makes it sound like this will be available to anyone with a PS3. McCutchan even goes on to state:

"It allows anyone with a PS3 to experiment with motion controls and is officially sanctioned and supported by Sony Computer Entertainment."

He then finishes with this thought:

"We know that some of you out there are aspiring software developers yourselves and we’re eager to see what kinds of applications Move.Move inspires. Maybe an aspiring developer like you will create the next big thing with PlayStation Move!"

That sure sounds like it will be open to me. If not, I will be very disappointed and there would be no reason for it to be announced on PS Blog.

Does this mean that Palworld is getting an anime?

Abnor_Mal16d ago

Crazy that they’ve formed a partnership of sorts, but the game itself still haven’t been released on PlayStation

badz14916d ago

It's still in Early Access. If it ever goes gold, there will definitely be a PS5 version, might even be a PS4 version too

Abnor_Mal16d ago

I still have no clue what this game is all about, to be honest.

badz14916d ago

@Abnor_Mal

If games like ARK is not to your liking, then Palworld wouldn't be your cup of tea either...I think.

New Sony Controller May Let You Draw Your Own Buttons Using Conductive Ink

Sony has published a new patent about a controller that can be completely personalized by a user, including its shape and layout.

TFJWM30d ago

It is just a patent if it is new tech you file it

S2Killinit30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Dont get me wrong, I love that Sony does these research into new tech and all, after all it led to something as fun as the Dualsense, but im just asking why this particular tech would be useful in any way.

Profchaos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Interesting idea likely something that will never actually be produced but Sony's simply securing the paten

Profchaos30d ago

Common practice really so many companies pattern troll because they either intend to make a product or just want to hold onto the rights of the idea there's some insane ones out there especially at the dawn of the internet.

You can have no intent to use it but this is just saying you thought of it first

kylegeorge8830d ago

yeah no, the controllers need the hall effect before investing more time and money into quirks.

BlackDoomAx30d ago

But how will they sell as many controllers if they do that?

fsfsxii30d ago

Maybe consider your personal hygiene before blaming someone else for your controller defecting

DustMan30d ago

I doubt @FSFSXII even knows what hall effect is. What a turd.

y2mate30d ago

great idea, but will it fully distributed to other continent ?
