You named your Wii-remote knockoff
the PlayStation Move, not for its motion gaming; it's called the Move because if more than 3 people want to play the danged thing, someone will have to "move" over and wait for their turn.

LOL classic somebody should show MS this article.

Pennywise5151d ago

Up to 4 move controllers work at the same time. You and your uninformed blogger can MOVE.

Chaostar5151d ago

Dude... did Kevin Butler screw this guys mother or something? Chill out.

math5151d ago

It's called fanboy rage... in it's purest form.

Christopher5151d ago

The _only_ reason the Move commercial was funny was because of Kevin Butler's delivery and because he didn't rant about how much better Move was compared to Natal and WiiMotion for two pages. They were short, well delivered lines of comedy gold.

This 'article' on the other hand has way too much rage and focus on why Move sucks rather than just selling Natal or WiiMotion with a slight jab at Move in the process.

And, most importantly, it lacks the needed Kevin Butler presence :p

D4RkNIKON5151d ago

Haha this is one butthurt dude. He was deeply offended by the comic styling of Kevin Butler lol

-Mezzo-5151d ago

These ads are amazing, i have never waited for a Commercial to be released up until Sony started to make these ads.

KEVIN BUTLER IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO SONY.

Lord Vader5151d ago

Lolz, he's right without ripping off Nintendo EVERY generation, where would Sony be today ?

- D-pad
- Analog Sticks
- Rumble
- Wiimote = Move

D4RkNIKON5151d ago

Yeah Nintendo practically invented gaming and every one else copied them right? lol /sarcasm. The D-Pad? really? That is like saying that car companies copied the steering wheel.

Megaton5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

Wow, it was actually approved. The approval rights of those involved should be revoked. This brings nothing to anyone's table. It's just an immature rant you might suspect of being copy/pasted from N4G's Open Zone.

IdleLeeSiuLung5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

Why are people so upset when the tables is turned? I laughed when Kevin Butler was making fun of Natal and Wii (check my comment history).

I'm sure another article will come for Nintendo as well and a rebuke from Sony.

I like this one:

And what is that brightly lit refrigerator bulb that you have attached to your deformed Wii-mote? That thing looks like a bachelorette party gift. We folks, over at Microsoft, are very familiar with dildos and that, my friend, is a dildo. I played the PlayStation Move years ago as a child, when I finally manage to break into my mother's "treasure box." You can't sneak the "Magic Wand" past us, "No Sirree Bob."

Mr_Bun5151d ago

Even Greenburg has more tact than this guy. Hey Millionaire, you're not helping.

Blaze9295151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

I think it will be pretty funny to see how and IF Nintendo and Microsoft start firing back. And people say Sony is the one with the most class? Humor or not, they started direct attacks with that Kev Butler video.

Watch when Microsoft and Nintendo, especially Microsoft, start doing 'humor' ads attacking Sony people will call foul and say they have no respect or class.

Hell, the hypocrisy is already happening with Nintendo and Reggie after his "Wii-Too" comment which he had all right to say.

EDIT:

rofl @IdleLeeSiuLung, see...it's already happening.

heroicjanitor5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

I know every single comment you make needs to diss playstation fanboys, but this article is a retarded rant.

Edit: This is the same guy actually lol, he has made 5 or so fanboy articles which got approved in the last week.

Megaton5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

Yeah, cause clearly this is a couple of witty one-liners on the level of the Kevin Butler clip, right Blaze/IdleLee? As Mr Bun said, even Greenberg could reprogram his PR-automaton self to come up with more clever jabs than this. This is just oral diarrhea on a 6th grade level.

But hey, take it wherever you can get it, right? Try to turn anything into "PS3 fans are dumb/hypocrites", even if you've gotta use something as low brow and inapplicable as this to do it.

sinclaircrown5151d ago

They should have a couple of kids watching someone using Move, then one of the kids says:

"You mean you have to use your hands?? That's like a baby's toy!"

claterz5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

Lol yh you realy have to a genius to think of the Dpad, you need 4 buttons to go up, down, left and right. I could have come up with that idea lol, just needed a big company to start it off *Enters Nintendo*

King_of _the_Casuals5151d ago

I think the best and easiest way The Wii and Natal will respond to Sony's MOVE will be thru there sales Figures. The MOVE is going to get SMASHED due to it not having a casual market with the PS3 and for it's high price point. Oh and for the fact that it's a Wii 2.

thebudgetgamer5151d ago

man you fanboys get angrier then the people that make a living in video games.

IdleLeeSiuLung5151d ago

Are seriously taking this SERIOUSLY? Are you really that upset?

I mean it is clear that he is making some funny jabs at Sony and if you really get upset, well you just identified your inner fanboy!

Megaton5151d ago

Oh please, I guarantee you I hate the Move than the kid who squeezed this one out, so save that fanboy crap for someone else.

Silver3605151d ago

Even if he did carry on a little long with his rant.

You say that Project Natal is only good for simulating a big red ball catch? We got your "balls" alright. At least our big red ball will be captured and simulated using Project Natal's 3D camera. And you would talk balls with those shiny Easter colored balls on that virtual **** plug of yours.

Dee_915151d ago

who approved this
sh1ts corny and lame especially the dildo and light bulb jokes

who cares how it looks ?
lol i forget some of you replace girls with games

EvilBlackCat5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

BTW your fan base is comprised of third graders if you haven't paid attention.

goflyakite5151d ago

One of the saddest attempts at being funny I've seen in a while.

KB ftw.

Sheikh Yerbouti5151d ago

Stupid article...

If he spoofed the commercial on video, maybe...but this was just a teenage rant. It read like every other comment I read on N4G. The humor in the commercial was in the build up and delivery. This had neither.

blackmagic5150d ago

How did this get approved? talk about misguided...

YoungKiller255150d ago

"Your PlayStation cronies are just mad that you didn't think of full body motion gaming before Project Natal did"

Really? I think this game came out for the PS2 since its using the EyeToy

nveenio5150d ago (Edited 5150d ago )

And here I actually thought that was going to be clever. That'll teach me.

Why are the new motion controllers such a hot topic amongst core gamers? I'm buying Move for sure, but that's because I have two kids (ages 5 and 2)...(oh, and I REALLY hope they do a Star Wars game with it). But I'm not sure why so many people that think it's not necessary also have to argue over which is better...

EDIT: Did the author really admit to playing with his/her mother's dildo? Seriously? That's pretty nasty. It's a good thing Natal doesn't have controllers, cause I wouldn't want to touch theirs...

frostypants5150d ago (Edited 5150d ago )

This is weak.

Sheik is right...it just reads like a bad high school-level rant.

frostypants5150d ago

"You mean you have to use your hands?? That's like a baby's toy!"

*facepalm*

No. That's also not funny.

Butler is funny because of his delivery and because he is INTENTIONALLY being an arse.

rofl, so true.

math5151d ago

This is quite possibly the best "article" ever? C'mon the guys name is millionaire... Am I right? Whether you swing for PS3 360 or Wii this is one of the best flaim bait articles of all times.

IdleLeeSiuLung5151d ago (Edited 5151d ago )

It certainly isn't news though... but then again technically the Sony ad wasn't news either.

We need a new category named "flamebait" and every comment posted is in the open zone!

Sheikh Yerbouti5151d ago

especially if its about a new product? I could care less about the Nintendon'ts and what-not if it is in commercial. They are suppose to differentiate the product. Why would I expect otherwise.

And you have a poor sense of humor if you think that was funny.

Really!

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars - PlayStation Move's Best Kept Secret

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.

Why the PlayStation Move Failed

Sony's PlayStation Move may not have been able to contend with Nintendo's Wii, but it paved the way for PlayStation VR's success story.

SullysCigar982d ago

I use them most days and have for years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're definitely way past a needed update, but I've got a tonne of fun out of them, so they haven't failed me.

bouzebbal982d ago

The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games

thorstein982d ago

They are used constantly for PSVR games. So, no they haven't failed. Neither has PSVR (or VR in general.)

Bigman4k982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

The article was talking about why it ps move failed before psvr came along

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH983d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS983d ago

I feel that's a bit harsh. To this day, playing Killzone 3's campaign with PS Move/Sharpshooter gun combo is the most fun/immersive experience I've ever had with an FPS.

I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be, but it didn't "suck".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH983d ago

It most definitely sucked. You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible. The entire motion control fad was a waste of resources and time. Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it...

Minute Man 721982d ago

@SPEAK

The Move was better that the Wii mote. If the Wii was anywhere accurate as the Move was you could say the Wii was better. Sure it sold boatloads but was it really played consistently??

yeahokwhatever982d ago

I played it in 3D with the move gun on a 100 inch projector and it BLEW MY MIND. I was exhausted, but i finished the campaign standing there.

SullysCigar982d ago

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming"

Just no. Games release most weeks (for years now) that support Move controllers. Some ONLY use Move controllers.

Look, I get you're not a fan, but if you're going to rant, at least inform yourself in advance.

LordoftheCritics983d ago

I would say both Move and Kinect weren't supported properly.

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH983d ago

Kinect sucked too. I would say Kinect may have been cool had it worked as intended but it was ahead of it's time. Both Kinect and Move are gimmicks nothing more. I honestly don't see why Sony still implements "motion controls" recent controllers. Who really uses that crap? And to play what?

Profchaos982d ago

I so t think Sony abandoned the move it's technically repurposed and still supported on the ps5 just for VR

RedDevils982d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH
Again if it was supported right.

Where even a fast click of my fingers could get an immediate in game response.

It feels trash because we have been shown or lived with bad versions of gesture based tech. Think Minority Report fast. That could be something.

''You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible.''

No one is acting like it was special, I said it could be amazing.

''I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be''

Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game and then we can discuss profits.

982d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH982d ago

I don't deal in "what if". It wasn't supported right and even if it was it was still a gimmick.

thorstein982d ago

"Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game"

You just described every AAA PSVR game. And even the indies have incredible integration. No Man's Sky VR is insanely good.

Silly gameAr982d ago

And, you can act like it was horrible, but I had a blast with my Move. I had the whole collection of House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, and RE Darkside Cronicles, The Fight, and Socom 4, and I would play the hell out of those games I even beat a playthrough of the Resistance 3 campaign with the Move. Getting drunk and playing with friends was a freaking blast.

You can pretend that you had a move and played it all you want SPeak the Truth, but it was accurate, and usually on point. I hate when people act like they've played something just to trash it, when they really just have a vendetta, and think the Move is easy prey for your hate.

Minute Man 721982d ago

Wait you can play Dead Space with the Move?? I need it

Orchard982d ago

“You can pretend that you had a move”

I love this crazy idea that if someone has something bad to say about hardware/software - they must be lying about owning it and clearly do not own it!

Because all hardware and software has a 100% approval rating from all purchasers…

P_Bomb982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

Shoot I forgot about Dead Space Extraction and Umbrella Chronicles. Had those too. Still do (digital).

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH982d ago

I have a vendetta against Move? Lmao that's the most ridiculous comment I've read today. I didn't buy it because like I said motion controls are gimmicks. I had a Wii and it was decent enough but a gimmick although successful. I had a Kinect and it too was trash. Don't act as if you know what I have and haven't owned. Move was nothing more than a Wiimote ripoff

yeahokwhatever982d ago

SO MANY really great experiences for the Move. The Fight was excellent!

Silly gameAr982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

@Minute Man

There was a game called Dead Space Extraction that you could play the Move with.

@Orchard. Please don't reply to me, because every time I say something to you, I magically end up restricted. So, just ignore me like I ignore you, so there will be no hurt feelings, please.

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it..."

That is demostrably false.... Most VR games have motion controls and the PSVR uses the Move controllers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

VR games have a controller most of the time not some magic wand. And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect. I'm not a fan of VR either. A controller and a couch is all I need for my gaming needs.

Vanfernal982d ago

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH

"And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect."

PSVR LITERALLY uses the Move controllers. Now it's just obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying Move failed and nobody uses it anymore when it's an integral part of PSVR and is still being used in 2021.

ScootaKuH982d ago

It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.

Father__Merrin982d ago

The move was excellent it was 1 to 1 precise time crisis was a joy to play aswell as sports champions it didn't hit mainstream as it was an addon unlike Nintendo wiimote

I wish that someone would have made a proper boxing game. I still have a blast with the Sports Champions boxing, but to have a boxing game that was more in-depth would have been awesome.

Dario_DC982d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy983d ago

Because it was a uninspired ripoff of the Wii controller without the Nintendo library to back it and didn't try to put any real effort into development such as getting their top developers to make games for it and instead gave tech demos disguised as games to their least talented developers so the best can focus on single player only games.

Ryushaa983d ago

Except the Move was an idea roughly implemented in the PS2. Yes, I'm serious.
Just search on youtube: PlayStation 2 - Motion Controller (2004)

Nonetheless, just like the whole Wii, it was more of a gimmick than a proper input evolution in games.

jukins983d ago

Exactly. Its funny time and time again sony is the first innovate. Often at its own peril. Like your example the move started on ps2 taken advantage of by nintendo. Sony buys gakai for game streaming only for other companies to overtake them.

Profchaos982d ago

Are you talking about the gametrak on os2 which used strings to track your hand position I used to have this and a gold game it was awesome but the game itself sucked if it had integration with tiger woods or something it would be way better the tracking was excellent even back then as it wasn't using guesswork.
However the game was very forgiving and no way to turn it harder and no licensed players or courses hurt it.

yeahokwhatever982d ago

99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..

EvertonFC983d ago

Socom, killzone, resistance and tiger wood 14 were great with the move but agree lacked more games.

yeahokwhatever982d ago

There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.

These PS3 Games are Going to get Really Expensive

Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.

CDbiggen985d ago

There's a reason I didn't buy most of these when they came out.

MadLad985d ago

After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.

What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?

mkis007985d ago

Emulation doesn't stop a games physical box from becoming collectible.

Knightofelemia985d ago

I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.

neutralgamer1992985d ago

In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed

985d ago
neutralgamer1992985d ago

Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already

And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time

MadLad985d ago

Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.

Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.

franwex985d ago

I got mine for $5 at Walmart like 10 years ago. I have yet to play it.

neutralgamer1992985d ago

It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems

You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years

Mr Logic985d ago

Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

MadLad985d ago (Edited 985d ago )

@neutral

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.

I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.

I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.
