Gamer's Corner: Where is Playstation Move's AAA Title?

Gamer's Corner asks where Move's killer game is; "Sony needs to sit down with one of it's developers, Naughty Dog or somesuch and decide to take the risk with a revolutionary hardcore Move only game. Something completely different, not another 'safe' Sports Champions clone. Start with something like the Chameleon tech demo and see if it can build a rainforest, i mean that literally as well as metaphorically."

[gillri]

the same place where Kinect's AAA title is

in someones head!!!!

[terrordactyl]

That's very true. It's disappointing that both MS and Sony haven't produced any real innovative software to match the hardware. Tacked on motion controls in an FPS doesn't cut it.

[Fishy Fingers]

Tacked on peripherals so late in the game, general dont cut it either. Especially when it was clearly just in reaction to a competitor (Nintendo).

[NukaCola]

I think the best potential for AAA success is SORCERY. Here is hoping for something special.

[-Alpha]

Fishy said it best.

Late tacked on peripherals attempting to establish a piece of the motion craze pie.

Nintendo themselves are done with it and seem to be moving on to something different.

Move can't become the casual device Sony wants it to be, Kinect is far from the hardcore innovator MS promised core gamers it would be.

All hype, and all of it pretty much dead at this point. Only reason a majority went crazy was simply because of Console Wars

[LOGICWINS]

"Tacked on peripherals so late in the game, general dont cut it either. Especially when it was clearly just in reaction to a competitor (Nintendo)."

Well, Sony had the idea for Move LONG before the Wii..but I agree that the Wii's success made Sony follow through with the Move project.

[badz149]

Personally I think this article is nothing more but a whiner! As long as MOVE being used in games, mandatory or not, means that it has games! I use MOVE whenever I can because I feel more comfortable with it than DS3 especially for shooters. I play KZ3 and SOCOM 4 entirely with it and comes R3, I'll do the same. Can't wait for Sorcery as well

[thorstein]

While there are "Move Games" many AAA titles are "Move Compatible."

It's like SONY knew that the Move would be Niche...

[-Alpha]

Yeah, but I'd still rather stick with controllers. Why pay so much money for a motion device that has all this other technology only for it to be implemented into a typical crosshair cursor with gimmicky movements like "Punching" to melee?

Shooters are the most obvious use for Motion controls but what's the point? These motion devices were hyped to do all kinds of things, yet the best implementation I've seen was in Tumble for Move and hacking projects for Kinect

There are no original games so far, and at the end of the day that's what I'm waiting for, especially considering the high expectations people had

[Knushwood Butt]

'Why pay so much money for a motion device that has all this other technology only for it to be implemented into a typical crosshair cursor with gimmicky movements like "Punching" to melee?'.

It amuses me how some people say how throwing fireballs in Sorcery is going to be the shit, but that using Move for melee attacks is somehow gimmicky.

Sorry, but there's no difference.

Also, I really didn't pay 'so much money' for my Move kit. The wand is way cheaper than a DualShock3, and the nav controller is cheaper still. Furthermore, it's excellent kit.

Each to their own, but I'll never play Killzone 3 or SOCOM 4 with a pad again. I'd rather stick with Move.

[blackburn10]

Exactly.

[hiredhelp]

MOVE was not made to bring out AAA games you peewee.
Its a hardware device. Something that can be used if supported on upcomming AAA and non AAA games.

For the record you dont need to have a AAA game to enjoy a game as much as a AAA gae. Witch good job now i could act like a fanboy say somert about how this headline seems like a anti sony statement and mention abut kinnect and the lack of 360 exclusives but i wont. oop's

See how easy it is god gaming not like it used to be.. Sit back enjoy your games stop trash talking.

[LOGICWINS]

"MOVE was not made to bring out AAA games you peewee. Its a hardware device. Something that can be used if supported on upcomming AAA and non AAA games."

That has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever read on N4G. The first part contradicts the second part.

[gravemaker]

Killzone 3

[iamnsuperman]

Not really Move only.....To get Move into households they need to release a move only game

[Pacman321]

Very true. The game i have used the Move mainly for is Sports Champions. Killzone 3 was fun for a while with the Move but i ended up going back to the DS3.

[teedogg80]

Sport Champions lol

[Bell Boy]

Depends what household...mine was a motion control free zone until Move was shown to be able to play more mature hardcore titles

[Chaostar]

For me Killzone 3 is Move's AAA title.

I know what you're going to say, "but Killzone wasn't designed entirely for Move!". I understand where you're coming from with this argument but it didn't stop me from completing the entirety of Killzone 3 with Move and a Sharpshooter. I even got the Platinum trophy with Move, minus two co-op bronzes that you have to use a controller for split screen.

My point is that, for me, Killzone 3 WAS a Move game and so will any FPS be that is compatible in the future.

[terrordactyl]

If you took Move controls away from KZ3 then it would be just as successful a game. Move needs a hardcore AAA dedicated title that shows the innovation found in the controller itself. Sony need to think outside of the box, it's useless having cutting edge hardware without the software.

[Chaostar]

You're very right, Killzone 3 would have been just as awesome without Move. However, for me personally, I really enjoyed playing with Move, so I did for 99.9% of the game.

I would also like to see some original content designed specifically for Move. Just because, for me, Killzone was a Move game doesn't mean I don't want to see innovative and dedicated titles in the future. I'm particularly looking forward to Sorcery and my ultimate Move dream would be an Elder Scrolls style RPG designed specifically with Move in mind.

[Bell Boy]

I am with you on this I actually resented the fact I was forced to use DS3 to get the Platinum..

Like you I only play Killzone 3 with Move...so it is a AAA Move game

[Graey]

hey star.

I'm currently still playing the beginning stages of KZ3. What are you setting for the move. I have the gun add on so I'm looking for that sweet spot with turning as well as shooting.

Any advice welcomed :D

[Chaostar]

TBH everyone I talk to has a different setup, which caters to individual preferences. I could tell you mine but it all comes down to the individual.

The best advice I can give is conduct a trial and error test of your own in botzone. Also I'd suggest never using the aim assist lock on thingy, just turn it completely off, it's much more satisfying and rewarding :)

[Cajun Chicken]

Don't care. Tumble rocks, if not enough reason for a Move.

[Knushwood Butt]

Yeah, Tumble is excellent, and it's also TEH MOVE EXCLUSIVE!!!!!!!

[smoothdude]

They should make a bob-it game for move. That will get the hardcore crowd drooling! LMFAO.

[Uncharted3Goty]

so Far moves best games are games that support it meaning Killzone 3 Socom 4 and the many other ones.

[Son_Lee]

The problem is Move is nothing but a peripheral. There needs to be a game where Move is REQUIRED in order to play it. I know those exist, but I mean a game made by either first party or third party, whether it be a new IP or great franchise.

[terrordactyl]

Exactly, that's the point of the article. Move requires a defining game to establish itself.

[Graey]

I can see your point. But the problem with that, is move is not in enough people's homes to justify just having a move only control scheme.

Or I guess they could say the game was developed with move in mind, but they also added the DS3 control scheme. Lol but honesty they could say that now and no one would actually know the difference.

[user8397144]

Resistance 3 or Uncharted 3. Pick your poison.

[claterz]

Well, E3 is just around the corner so I'll guess we're gonna see some Move games there. Hopefully we see some more Sorcery too, that game looked pretty decent last E3.

[jneul]

sigh more move hate articles move has really good apps like killzone 3, sports champions, resident evil 5 gold, socom 4, dead space extraction, time crisis, virtua tennis, and it just goes on, trust me people are just jealous of it....
ps cant wait for sorcery

[LocO_o]

Let me guess you just read the title.

No one is hating on Move and the article clearly points that out.

[otacon68]

I am sure they will show some move stuff at E3.
What about sorcrery? When that release?

[Graey]

Ah thanks.

You saved me the trouble of bringing that up. Sorcery I actually haven't heard anything on it in a minute. But I"m telling you if they get it down just right and it gets say an 8-9 oh boy that is going to open the flood gates.

For me personally I'd design it so that it can be played both ways. But I would break my back making sure that playing it with the move was spot on.

Also just don't make it a move centric game and you don't worry about say the story, lore, little tidbits that players love. Make sure there are ways to advance...think Zelda and that is a perfect example. If Sony can make something on that level..then we have a winner.

[news4geeks]

Where are the AAA wii games that use all out motion control. That's right, they don't exist. The console was an absolute joke. At least playstation move and kinect are borderline playable.

[BrutallyBlunt]

Most will be smaller games or available only on Playstation Network. Sony sees the Move as an alternative and is marketing it as such. Nintendo designed their system around motion controls so they had the upper hand from the start because the userbase wasn't fragmented. Microsoft is treating Kinect as a whole new launch and is putting much more resources behind it. Which makes it far more riskier than Sony's approach. It also creates games that are catered to Kinect while Move games are a hybrid that can also be played with the dualshock. Which means Sony is targeting its existing fanbase while Microsoft is trying to expand and create new ones.

[Bell Boy]

Why can'y people get it in their heads Sony as been very deliberate in providing games like Killzone 3 with both Move and DS3 support..and that it it's major strength..

They are making attempt to introduce Move to an audience that normally as pretty much dismissed motion controls the so called hardcore gamer..

Move to me is the superior experience on Killzone 3....some people will never agree but I will just waste them in MP..

Due to the quality of Move in this game I purchased RE5 gold and will be now day 1 Resistance 3 ( I was gonna miss this till well into next year due to all the games coming)...Move reinvigorates RE5...I hated the demo so skipped it at launch...without Move I would never have played this great game

Sony as done the smartest thing imo, provided options to gamers as we are all different and so want different experiences in the same game.....of course this will never be enough for the Move is fail crowd...8 million and counting a fail...lol idiots

[ShAkKa]

Expect a Where is Kinect's AAA Title? coming soon...

[NicSage]

The Move is an addon, a luxury that gives gamers the option to have more precise control in games. The reason that there are probably a lack of Move only titles is that Move can be incorporated so well into almost any other title out there.

Why would Sony make Move only games, when every game could be the best of both worlds? The motto " It only does everything " comes to mind.

Gamers have the choice DS3 or Move in most Sony games now a days, especially with shooters.

One dev I love currently, Gameloft. The two games i've purchased from them have been fun and use move controls very well. Modern Combat reminds me of Counter-Strike, I love it. Dungeon Hunter is a great dungeon crawler with some pretty nice graphics and is a blast, my fav type of game too.

We do not need a AAA title for the Move only, because everything can be Move enabled, what more could you ask for?

[fghsjdfghjdfhgkjdf]

I've said this so many times already but a hardcore control scheme should work for the games, games shouldn't have to be built around the controller. The fact that Moves best hardcore games can be played with the dualshock is exactly why it works so well.

The author, even with his clearly limited capacity, even seemed to acknowledge that at one point, but then resorted to:

"it's true to say that the games work just as well, if not better with Dualshock 3."

Unfortunately, he clearly hasn't used Move enough with Killzone (or at all?).

[DigitalRaptor]

SORCERY... nuff said!

[NicSage]

Can't wait for this to come out, My wife and I were watching E3 when they showcased this and were both excited to play.

[DigitalRaptor]

Yes. It's a game that will be truly enhanced by Move. I can't wait!

[r21]

i remember a game in a Move montage where this guy held a flashlight in first person view and he was in a dark forest. a horror AAA move game?

Killzone 3 and Socom 4 are awesome with Move+Sharpshooter.

[mastershredder]

How about we get off this AAA kick? I'm getting really sick and tired of the media and gamers trying to swing the AAA title moniker like it is all that matters.
