The PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter is an awesome-looking piece of kit, with stacks of buttons, sliders, stocks and triggers, but it's also a pretty costly $40/£40. There must be a cheaper alternative, right?
Playstation has a bad habit of not supporting the peripherals it puts out. Will the Aim Controller suffer the same fate, or will the the strong PSVR support so far keep it from falling to the wayside?
There are already 2 games out now that support it and 3 more are releasing soon or getting patches to support it.
Am not worried. Let's wait it out a bit, ok? It's been only a week since the AIM released!
This is still a big worry for vr. Having to buy the brand it's self and the addons and the extra add-ons for some games. For me is part of the reason vr will not be the next big thing.
Only time will tell though.
It will really be big, not with the current tech, but one day. Without the current tech and the enthusiasts it will never become more in the future. They have to start somewhere!
Aenea I'm not sure vr is not new and is only good for something. For me I see AR being the bigger one but only if it can become glasses size device. Each to there own though but for me I just don't see vr being the next big thing.
@mcstorm, I see them as entirely different markets. One is to put you in another world, the other is to put the game in our world. They have very different applications in my opinion, so I feel like there really isn't competition in that sense. Like you said though, to each their own. They are both interesting.
Your spot on there they are 2 markets but because of this this is the reason I don't see it being the next big thing. I also think things like phone vr don't help gaming vr. I know quite a few people enjoy got a Samsung vr with their galaxy last year and everyone said the same thing is cool but nothing to keep you going back and a few saying I already have a vr headset why should I spend £300 on another one that is just for games.
There are a few things I think need to change and one is eveyone making vr need to come together and make them comparable with each others products but I don't see this happening. Microsoft may do this with the windows 10 and scoripo stuff but I'm not sure if it will help but like we said it's still early in the tech but psrv is missing games and also advisement space to.
Hey, I'm optimistic. Just cautiously so. I'm loving PSVR. Had it since launch, but there are definitely fears of long term support. Honestly, I've gotten my money's worth out of it but everyone has a different idea of what that value is and when it hits it.
Farpoint is $50, the bundle with Farpoint + AIM is $80. Theoretically the AIM cost me a whopping $30. There are 5 games confirmed to support the AIM, and if no other game were to be announced to support it (unlikely) i would've already gotten my $30 worth. I'm not worried and i'm in love with my purchase.
Sony Santa Monica is developing a huge unannounced PSVR game that should be shown at e3. I wonder if it has AIM support? Exciting times. ROM, AZ Sunshine, and Brookhaven should be fun.
Arizona Sunshine definitely looks like it could be promising. I definitely hope this thing sees a longer support stem than some of the other peripherals that came out. I'm not too worried, as VR seems to actually be performing to a point where support for it won't lapse so quickly anyway. If anything Farpoint makes me want an even crazier FPS experience for VR. Really can't wait to see Santa Monica VR title though. Just curious what it could be?
Did all that, always play VR with the lights off, still kept happening. Still haven't been able to hop back in as I've had a crazy week, but I'm going to try this weekend for sure.
Hum could be spacing try to get a few more feet away from camera, had same issue moved two feet more back and it stopped happening
Definitely going to try and change my spacing from the console. The game gives you a "cage" that you should be inside of, and I was definitely within that range comfortably. Going to try moving forward some, back, some, or possibly even moving the PS Camera. Hope I get it working right, because the game is awesome so far, but when you can't always aim down the sights right, makes it a little hard to play. Thanks for the tips.
The PlayStation Move is an excellent video game controller with potential for great games, but sadly many that see the potential haven’t had a lot to choose from since the release of the Move in 2010. While there are some great games that make use of the Move, there are a lot that haven’t made the best use of the technology. The potential with the Move is still just that for many that want more from their PS3 motion controller. The future is bright for those that do have one (or more), though, as Sony has taken this into consideration and has some great titles on the horizon.
Sony UK Vice President and Managing Director Fergal Gara mentioned to Official PlayStation Magazine earlier this year about how the Move could have been better supported since release in 2010. “What I’m thinking is that it’s better suited towards the casual market, certainly, but we also are pretty clear that we could have done a better job on the titles we’ve had and we’ve brought to market for the PlayStat...
My moves been a bit dusty, but they can do much better they just havn't.
I'm actually surpried at this list of move games. Spiderman ? I've got to see how they do that game lol (swinging on webs?), Sorcery I really want to check out. Dust 514 free and on consoles with move thats a must! Bioshock and Ghost recon that will be cool as well, at least Bioshock will be. I hope some games get patches for move, like BF3 and Skyrim. It would be great if Sony annouces some thing really worth while to get on move at E3. It's been really lackluster but I want to se the device at its full potential.
Sony's almost blown it with Move. If they really wanted this peripheral to succeed they would have had tons of patches and made sure most of the big-name games supported it. COD, BF3, and Skyrim all should have been patched for the Move or supported from the start. Every big FPS that comes out should support Move. They could have partnered with Blizzard to bring Diablo 3 to the PS3. The Move would have worked well with that game.
Sony's missed their opportunities. Now everyone pretty much thinks of the Move as a gimmick that is hardly supported so no one's going to buy it. It's sad.
After just finishing infamous 2 with the move I really hate that 3rd party developers haven't been taking advantage of the move, especially fps developers. The move is really accurate and was a blast to use with infamous.
I do think, however, that the move might be taking up resources on the ps3 that makes it hard for devs to implement. If not then I feel that m$ is being strict with their bs parity policy including the controllers.
There are a couple of games that I really like how they use Move. One is Infamous 2. When I play that game with the Move controller, it feels like I'm playing a PC game from my couch, it's really nice for someone like me who is a PC gamer first and a console gamer second.
I also like the way it is used in LBP 2. The Move only levels have some really neat ideas that really take advantage of the controller.
Another game I have been enjoy playing with the move controller is Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny.
However all of these games can be played with the standard controller as well. I have yet to see a Move Only game that I like.
I am looking forward to Epic Mickey 2, as I really enjoyed the first game. If it comes out before the Wii U is out, I'll be grabbing the PS3 version so I can play it in HD.
GamerXChange lists a few great retail deals on Kinect, Move bundles, Xbox Live subscriptions, and more.
Exactly what i've done. I just duct taped my move to a broomstick. Im now having a much better experience.

Not Move, but 1up bitch!
