Sony really need to start pushing move alot more as it just seems to me that they pushed it when it came out but have given up now as you never see an add for the device or a game showing off the device.

BK-2015182d ago

They aren't going to spend hundreds of millions to market the accessory like a whole other console. Move is doing very well for its scarce marketing and there are plenty of games with support for it with more to come.

mcstorm5182d ago

I agree with you that they are more games to come that support move but it is not selling very well. Alot of people don't even know what move is where everyone seems to know kinect and Wii. The tech is very good but Sony need to show it off more than they are doing now. They don't have to spend a shed load of money to show it off as they sponcer things like champions league here in the UK yet they just show off 3d tvs n in the adds between the football game ms had a kinect and wp7 add and Nintendo had a Wii add but nothing for the ps3 or move. They even do this for c5 movies and show off lbp and kz3 but don't show it supports move and this is there biggest problem they need to start showing to the public that move can be used with most new games that are out for the ps3.

Oh God it's Wii all over again.

Moentjers5182d ago

Oh, I somehow missed Killzone 3 for Wii.

OC_MurphysLaw5182d ago (Edited 5182d ago )

Conduit 2 is the Wii's Killzone 3. Not saying it looks as good...but they have a good looking shooter.

More to the point... Move as Ace_1975 pointed out is absolutely getting all the plastic toy peripherals that the Wii had. We all made fun of the stupid hockey stick on the Wii...or the fake little racing wheel it had.

And now... we see plastic guns, rackets and even the stupid plastic wheel on the PS3: http://www.amazon.com/Move-...

Opps...did I forget the swords and shields? http://www.amazon.com/MOVE-...

jneul5182d ago

oh god wii can track the body as well as the motion controller / sarcasm, why not go troll kinect articles, if you want wii, it even has more wii-like titles like brain training woop woop, least move is getting decent hardcore games

OC_MurphysLaw5182d ago

@jneul... I never said the PS3/Move didn't have hardcore titles. All I said is its getting the flood of the plastic peripherals just like the Wii did.

Try dialing down the fanboy defensiveness and understand what I was actually saying. If you like the plastic swords more power to you.

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.

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

Whatever Happened To Virtua Tennis?

Sega's prominent tennis sim just couldn't be beat. And then vanished without a trace. Why?

Answer: Sega.

You could change the name of the game in the title that was awesome in its day, could still be around today because of its fun factor with a remake, remaster or sequel, that's in their huge back catalog, that's no longer being produced as a franchise. And the answer would still be the same: Sega.

As much as I love their games and their spunky attitude. That Sega no longer exists that I grew up with. The current company is a mere shadow of its former self with only a few moments of grandeur. Which is why owning their previous consoles like Dreamcast, is a necessary thing if you want to continue playing games like Virtua Tennis. The reason why I have two of them just in case one stops working. And of course emulation on the go. Wink. Dreams do come in red.

Terry_B948d ago

Virtua Tennis 3 and 4 didnt sell well. Thats all.

senorfartcushion948d ago

Both Virtua Tennis and Top Spin have gone. It’s annoying for tennis game players.

CBaoth948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

Yeah....all 5 of them. Obviously, game budgets now outweigh profit for what essentially boils down to Pong. I'm not talking about coders but licensing costs. Boxing, golf, etc...all fall in this category where real life athletes far supersede their worth in video games. Same thing occurred to Sony's Playstation All-stars. Sony spent 2 generations helping to cultivate all these 3rd party mascots into recognizable assets but when it came to license them for a game, they didn't want to pay the exorbitant fee. That game's 1 million sales didn't warrant a sequel and I very much doubt ANY tennis game could reach that sales plateau

senorfartcushion948d ago

It’s funny how you’re over the age of 3 and don’t know how to read properly 😅😅 Why the bizarre response?

Yi-Long948d ago

I couldn’t care less about licensing in a tennis or golf game. I don't need real-life players or locations/tournaments.

Just give me some fun cool characters, some courts/courses in varied gorgeous locations, and use the Virtua Tennis or Everybody’s Golf gameplay. That’s it.

ActualEngineer948d ago

I used to play tennis IRL and in videogames. My 2-cents is that a boring game that was simulating an extremely boring sport, was thrown under the rug, now that the devs can produce more complex and interesting games.

It's like the tetris-like games and games like space-invaders, that stopped being produced ... it is because they were good and simple to make in the early days of commercial videogame development but they are just not as interesting as, let's say, an open-world coop arpg ...
