Move best suited for FPS? so why no Move support for 2 biggest FPS of the year

PlayStation Move is the best suited Motion Controller for first-person-shooters, according to Bioshock's writer & Creative Director , Ken Levine, so why was the 2 biggest FPS of the year released without PlayStation Move support?

should Sony push 3rd party devs to support PlayStation Move? because not having Move support for Battlefield 3 & Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was 2 big missed opportunities.

what are your thoughts on this? leave your comments below.

I would have used MOVE for Bf3.

[NukaCola]

BF3 not having Move support is odd. But at the same time, the free BF1942 HD game with the PS3 version just vanished too.

MW3 supporting Move? LoL, that game can't even support itself. More is not better when the basics don't even work right.

[NegativeCreep427]

That would be an advantage for the PS3 version. They would stop giving Activision millions of dollars in free money, and Activision doesn't want that.

There is mouse support for BF3 and MW3, i am pretty happy with that.

[r1sh12]

Why would MS be worried if mw3 had move support? Mw3 is way toooo fast paced on the Xbox and ps3 for move controls to be useful. If you want a similar experience get mw3 on the wii

[reynod]

I am sure the modding community will release some unofficial patch to fix this later... oh wait :P Closed platforms dont allow such freedom.

[Mr Tretton]

Move is dead. No doubt Sony is more busy working on next gen hardware which nonetheless I think is going to be forwards compatible with the current Move controls, but will use a Kinect style camera. There is no way Sony is ignoring Kinect's success, and the abandonment of deicated Move software makes that clear.

[cyclonus007]

If Move is dead than why are games like Goldeneye, Counterstrike, and Bioshock Infinite releasing with Move support?

[SonyStyled]

i just used my move today, and im looking forward to using it in infamous 2 and goldeneye when i pick those up

[Knushwood Butt]

I dislike playing FPSs with no Move support.

They are so better when Move is implemented (assuming the implementation is done well. Killzone 3 is an example of this).g

[Nate-Dog]

Well it is a multiplatform game, and Activision do favour the X360 (like EA favour the PS3), I can't imagine that many people really would have used the Move for CoD anyway, I know some may like the option but the majority wouldn't have the Move and for those that do a lot of them probably wouldn't be fussed. If they wanted to integrate Move playability they'd probably want to integrate Kinect playability too and bringing those two into any game could take quite a while.

As you said, it might be better suited, but that ain't saying much. Better suited doesn't mean there is a preference.

It's an optional feature that doesn't really add any value to FPS i.e. hardcore gamers won't use it and they will likely just stick with the controller.

The exact same control scheme existed on the Wii and nobody cared about it then either....

Now, if there was demand for it, I'm sure BF3 that favors the PS3 would have incorporated it. The only one that implements PS Move is first party....

[Rageanitus]

hardcore gamers prefer mouse and kb.... the console market is still casual

[GarandShooter]

So Tiger Woods PGA and NBA2K are first party franchises? Good to know!

[Biggest]

So is Resident Evil. Total first party stuff.

[SonyStyled]

i didnt know bioshock infinate was a PS3 exclusive

[Ddouble]

They would sell millions either way so i guess they can't be bothered. I hope Bioshock sends the trend for third party games after seeing the move's success on Killzone 3.

[saumer]

I hope so. I loved Move in KZ3. Tried playing an BF3 on my xbox and I just hate the standard controller. How anyone would prefer it I can't understand.

I grew up with mouse and keyboard on Quake/UT, and baring that, I'd use the move before a gamepad any day.

[MsmackyM]

Totally agree, having to use dual analog sticks for a fps just takes away the fun for me. I don't care how pretty the graphics are if the interface is garbage I could care less.

[DonaldBeck]

they should do a move patch for battlefield 3

[ViciousHamster]

They should patch move out of existence.

[NegativeCreep427]

Did Move make fun of you on the little bus last week or something? Such strong feelings against a gaming peripheral, wouldn't you say?

[SonyStyled]

no, eye pet made his hamsters very jelous

[CynicalVision]

It's common knowledge that multiplatform titles don't care about support like that, hell...COD4 didn't even support rumble. That's how lazy these developers are.

[DonaldBeck]

yeah i was like wtf no rumble for cod 4? i seriously would not mind if cod went pc/360 exclusive because the support they give ps3 owners is shameful.

edit: oh i see what you mean. still lazy developers though.

[gamingdroid]

ermm... CoD4:Mw was released practically before rumble was introduced on the PS3. The problem wasn't CoD, it was PS3 didn't have the feature!!!

Please redirect your anger to the responsible party, because rumble was supported on the Xbox 360 version....

In fact, CoD4 didn't have trophies either since that wasn't introduced until July of 2008.

[CynicalVision]

@gamingdroid

That's my point, the PS3 released the feature and the COD4 developers couldn't care less.

[gamingdroid]

So Sony released the feature after the game was released and somehow Infinity Ward should have patched it in?

Therefore everything is CoD4 developers fault?

Did you consider the fact that the demand wasn't there? I mean how many people actually had the new controller with Rumble?

Did rumble get support in the sequels?

Also, do you know anything about software development and life cycle? If not, I suggest you look more into it before blanket calling a developer lazy.

Some of those might just give you a CLEAR clue to why is the way it is.

[Biggest]

Well, yeah? How else would the rumble feature get into an Infinity Ward game? Maybe they should have asked Martha Stewart to enable rumble. She didn't make the game either.

[NeloAnjelo]

@ Gamingdroid... You are missing the point. This is an easy patch. Activision and COD developers are lazy and accept responsibility for nothing. This is why the game hasn't changed in years. I hate that fact that people defend them so much. Most other games have been patched, but this franchise that makes the most money can't right?Activision cares nothing about the consumer. They give you COD Elite, a feature set that Bungie and Dice give FREE to their users, but Activision charges for. They charge $15 dollars for a "throwback" map slightly modified with zombies added.

They milk the consumer. It's bad for the rest of the industry as they have no chance to show innovation as COD eats up the market with their rehashed product year after year."

@ CynicalVision... spot on with you comment.
