Engadget: PlayStation Move first hands-on (update: video!)

At last, we've felt Sony's long awaited motion controller, now at last officially known as "PlayStation Move," in our unworthy, sweaty hands. We have a bunch of videos on the way, but for now you can revel in our first close-ups of the controllers in the gallery below. Here are some of our initial thoughts:

I just found a problem.

My hands are very big. But in other technical things, I don't see any problem at all.

Well, maybe, the ''Sub controller'' will not be included with the Move Controller as some sources declare that.

prodg525194d ago

and is interchangeable with the DS3 or Sixaxis

vhero5194d ago

Luvely... SOCOM 4 looks great too compared to previous games looking more like Battlefield than previous games. Dunno if the Move will work good with it but so far so good.

thereapersson5194d ago

People lambasted NATAL for having unacceptable lag (100+ ms in most applications), so for PS Move to have any sort of perceptible lag isn't going to go over very well amongst the fanboy community.

Pillage055194d ago

wait..does this mean people will be able to use the move online in Socom4? Wouldn't that make it kind of unbalanced for people who don't wanna go out and buy the move, or dislike motion controlling....I'm not liking this.

Mike134nl5194d ago

Wonder if the light ball/bulb is easily removable, in case I manage to break it.

Oner5194d ago

It's almost positively LED which means better power savings during use, better brightness, better longevity & increased resistance to shock/damage. I doubt you will ever have to worry about changing the "bulb".

JackBNimble5194d ago

I don't understand why you think there would be any unbalance, you just have another option for how you control the game.

morganfell5194d ago

SOCOM looks far better than the videos have shown. The environmental destruction is surprising. As soon as we finish this talk on Player Behavior with Mark Zynga we are heading to see MoH. Btw, Crysis 2. Looks great.

King_of _the_Casuals5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

The Lag isn't an issue for me because I know the final product will have that all corrected.

My issue is with the application of the thing. The fighting game requires 2 wands (not nunchuks...wands!) to enjoy the full experience. So I'm guessing we're gonna need 4 wands to be able to play versus someone else! Damn you Sony, trying to go hard at my pocket with this one!!!

morganfell5194d ago

Clarifying my typo, the speaker was Mark Skaggs from Zynga

I had my doubts about the MOVE but after watching the tech demos and hearing the GDC presentation I cant wait to get my hands on the new controller. As gimmicky it may look on the Wii, Im sure Sony and 3rd party developers will come out with outstanding HD/next-gen games for the casual and hardcore players. Plus it seems if most titles will have the ability to support PS MOVE/six axis/ D.Shock, so their is no need for anyone to panic about user mobility.

Socomer 19795194d ago

Its what all those pc snubs were complaining about with console shooters. Here! In your face SOCOM 4! Its so Hardcore!

i cant wait. I also cant wait for some table tennis anyone? Ha!
Mainstream this Sony before the media picks at it until natal embarasses them with its presence.

kwyjibo5194d ago

The mouse means you don't have to wave your hands around like an imbecile.

But the PS3 technically supports a mouse, it's just that developers always ignore it.

sid4gamerfreak5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

"Its what all those pc snubs were complaining about with console shooters. Here! In your face SOCOM 4! Its so Hardcore!"

Btw we r not pc 'snubs' those r only present in the console fanboy community. Second,hate to break it to u since ur so hopeful, the mouse is still wayyyyyyyyyyy more precise than this controller. And u dont have to wave ur hands like a retard. So, ha.

Back on topic, im not a big fan of natal or the ps move, but the move is certainly shaping up to be good for ppl who bought a ps3 and always wanted a wii.The fact that sony has not forced it on us and is a luxury rather than a neccesity is a good thing. But still, im rather inclined not to go for natal or the move yet, im happy with my normal joystick, thank you.

shadow27975194d ago

Did either of you watch the conference?

There was no "Waving around" during the Socom demo. In fact, it looked like his hand actually moved less than if he was using a mouse.

ImmortalLegend5194d ago

Although I'm not a huge fan of the 'Move', it's good to have the option to get one of these in case I have a change of heart. This is good news for people that have a PS3 and may have wanted a Wii.

Jeff2575194d ago

I did want and still want a wii but more so now for the games I wont find on the PS3. Games like Tiger Woods and some of the party stuff Ill play on the PS3 with Move. Im definitely looking forward to Move and cant wait to see more of these games in action. Im sure we will see newer builds and more games announced at E3.

dredgewalker5194d ago

@Jeff
If they're gonna make a new Tiger Woods game i think there will be mini games like after the tournament Tiger goes into town to get some ho-hoes and then the Move will have another function besides swinging the club.

dredgewalker5194d ago

Sony isn't forcing anyone to buy it. I like the idea that its more like a luxury than a necessity for the PS3. What would the haters say if it succeeded again? Isn't it just better to wait for it to fail and then gloat than have it succeed and then look like a moron for saying all that bs that wasn't true? When will people ever learn. Where are all the people saying the "PS3 is Doomed", no games, bluray not needed, expensive and all that jazz...

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

jznrpg1d 16h ago

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos1d 15h ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb1d 15h ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville1d 8h ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger1d 5h ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

Thought I was the only one who remembered Trinity lol very underrated

Yui_Suzumiya4d ago

WET and Quantum Theory were both phenomenal

P_Bomb4d ago

I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.

Chocoburger4d ago

Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.

-Foxtrot3d ago

WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly

It had a lot of potential

Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
