It will fail. The hair cutting, coloring the shapes and get the bird in the nest games, will not appeal to anyone over 3. They need a PS-sports game, with cute boxing, tennis, baseball, and basketball. Keep it simple so anyone could enjoy, but execute well on gameplay. What they have here is first party shovelware at best.

Off topic. That guy on the rights scares the "bajesu" out of me. I think the other 2 guys are scared of him too.

Have you not seen Sports Championships yet? That is basically the PS-Sports you speak of. Its not cute, thugh, as it's much more realistic that the Wii's Mii's.

Oh and,

I want Move Party :3

Move party is strongly aimed at families with kids under 11 just like that main Eyetoy game was. I don't remember it but I used to play it.

Don't worry I am sure Sony will make some great casual games all their plans should be relieved by the end of E3.

Personally I doubt I will buy any casual games... maybe Sport Champion.

I really would like Motion Fighter though :P

There are a lot of Games Sony is Showing, The sword & Shield fighting Game + Ping-Pong + Archery + Motion Fighters + "The Shoot" or something and Motion Party is part of Those Games, so it's Clear that Sony is Doing Great by trying to Cater every kind of Gamer, this is a Family-fun Game, mom, pop and the kids...

I'm waiting a survival horror exclusive for Move. I hope they can show a trailer or gameplay at E3.

You are missing the point and might not have watched the whole video. This is another one of the Developer Diaries (part 5, in fact) and it discusses the "augmented reality" ability of Move. It is more evidence of the capabilities of Move and it is being SHOWN. This is a far cry from MS, which is not showing anything about Natal. And, by the way, I am personally looking forward to Move and the casual games. I have a 6 year old and he will love this. Plus, the more core games for me (i.e., Socom)!

sikbeta5120d ago (Edited 5120d ago )

Exactly, they're showing how the augmented reality works and talking about an Specific Game, this game have a variety of stuff to do, like cutting hair, the point is to show with this game how you can change/move/and more "emulated objects" with PS-Move that you see on screen, If they're going to talk about augmented reality, they're not going to show Motion-Fighters cuz what you do on that game is Throw punches...

So far, this is the one PS Move game that I just have absolutely no interest in. And, after trying to get my nephews to play some PS3 Eye games, my nephews won't give a dang about these either.

I'm proud to say that my 5-9 year-old nephews are already hardcore gamers *wipes tear from his eye*

Dorfdad5120d ago

Game looks rubbish, and someone needs to tell this dude the 60's have come and gone :)

Im all for a wii-sports ripoff on the PS3 How about Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, Horse shoes or midget tossing!?? Mix it up make a PAIN game for it. You control the aiming and firing of the man like a crossbow man do I have to do everything for these developers with no creativity!

sikbeta5120d ago

This is Move-Party, it's not like the only Game Sony is showing, so don't worry, there will be Games for Every kind of Gamer...

Chubear5120d ago

..it's a party game not a sporting game. If you want to see a Move Sports game then you can have a look at a few vids of Sports Championship.

I'd say, for it's first outing, the PSmove is delivering more than what the Wii was promised to do and it's only the beginning.

WHat's been shown of the Move so far in so many genres has been highly impressive but the games we will see for the Move a year, 2yrs, 3yrs from now will be jaw droppingly outstanding.

They finally changed that stupid pink ball to blue which makes a lot more sense and looks a lot better.

i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.

its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.

Jingsing1h ago

This is exactly what many people said would happen including the CMA and FTC. Lies lies and more lies and they allowed a $69 billion buy out to happen.

gold_drake1h ago

oh yeh it was 70 billion. that was my bad haha even worse.

thesoftware7301h ago(Edited 56m ago)

gold,

You can't be serious, right?

Do you think that MS thought they would make 80bill in a year & Half? They haven't even released titles under MS yet, lol.

But in fact, that A/B revenue is already paying off, look at the last earnings call. That $80 billion is long-term money, my guy, no sane person/company would think they would make that back in any short-term situation, it's a long-term investment.

Let's play silly then. If MS's reason for laying off staff and closing studios was due(which it really was not) to the A/B deal, tell me what Sony's reason was for past studio closures, the recent 900-person layoffs, closing Sony London, shutting down Dreams, and closing Japan Studio? Zipper? Psygnosis? cuts at all their internal studios.

Keep in mind, you are claiming MS's reason is because of the A/B deal; please explain Sony's reason.

Hofstaderman52m ago

You actually still defending them? Sheesh.....

gold_drake51m ago

this is not a sony vs MS debate. dont make it something it isnt.

and of course not, but im pretty sure they thought they'd make more money after the deal. they didnt, and closed off some studios.

its pretty insane to think there is any other reason for the closure of studios in this case.

romulus2344m ago(Edited 43m ago)

(It really was) due to the Activision Blizzard deal and the loss of physical sales due to gamepass. You keep bringing up Sony in all your posts about this, stop deflecting and trying to change the topic, this is about MS and what they are doing.

BehindTheRows20m ago

Has nothing to do with Sony. Stay on topic.

once in a while you see someone too invested in their make-believe console war that everything happened has to be connected to said war…

a bit of banter between fans is normal, this crusade you’re doing now isn’t.

They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.

Skuletor1h ago

Maybe they were already using AI to make business decisions, which would explain why they closed Hi-Fi Rush's studio, then said they need more games like Hi-Fi Rush not long after that announcement.

Crows9031m ago(Edited 31m ago)

They shouldn't have bought any studios. Some is okay...but they went on a shopping spree...stupid
