Oh, this is delicious.
Now look at the Industry Spin on this.
The low purchase intent figures reflect the current lack of information about compatible games for the devices. Microsoft and Sony are expected to reveal more motion-compatible games at next week’s E3 event in L.A., where the controllers will be a central attraction, after which purchase intent may rise.
Notice how Nintendo never gets written in the same way as Sony or Microsoft does. Nintendo is always written about as ‘doomed’ even if their product is constantly sold out. But Microsoft and Sony are *never* doomed. How can this be? It is not probable that one company is always doomed and the other companies are never doomed.
Sony’s answer to wireless motion control offers three advantages over Nintendo’s technology: the movements are a lot more precise; because it’s a camera-based system, many games can put you in the game (such as seeing yourself on the screen in “Start the Party” and “EyePet”); and the PS3 offers high-definition graphics for a more photorealistic experience over the Wii’s standard-definition visuals.
This clever puzzle game has plenty of variety and makes great use of the PlayStation Move.
Wow this game looks interesting, I cant see it working co-op style as a friend helping would probably lead to an argument lol. Its only $10 so i will give it a try.
Well worth the price of admission. There is a demo in the PS Store if you'd like to try before you buy.
This game is the reason to buy a Move. It's absolutely addicting. Like I said before, it's simple, yet so good.
Tried the demo, while I doubt I'd buy the game, this may be the best "demo" for Move, accuracy, depth... just insane.
I don't follow. If everyone else likes something and IGN doesn't, that makes IGN ignorant?
Do you guys think before you post over-used slogans and mantras like sheep?
That's one of the biggest problems with the internet as a whole. Your reasoning is sound, and hopefully others will at least contemplate what you've said. (bubbles :D)
Yes, Kaveti, it does. This game is excellent. IGN giving it a 3.5 is disingenuous to their readers and unfair to the developers who poured their lives into making this game for however long. It has an impeccable presentation with crisp, pretty graphics, good music, a very soothing voice to the actress narrating everything, lots of variety in the missions, fun multiplayer, and incredibly accurate and impressive controls that do an excellent job of showing how the Move is a unique control scheme: this game couldn't be done on the Wii or Kinect, it requires the precision of the pointing device, which Kinect lacks, and the 3D depth tracking that the Wii lacks. It's a brilliant and inexpensive showcase for Move offering compelling puzzle experiences.
A 3.5 out of 10 is just simply the WRONG score. No opinion about it. It completely fails to acknowledge the factual features present in the game, from design to presentation to control and implementation of those schemes. It IS a good game. And the fact that IGN is the only reviewer that didn't like it is more evidence to the fact that the game itself is good, well-made, deserving of praise, and that IGN failed to see the title for what it is and tore it down for lack of that understanding.
IGN used to be good... until years ago when they started putting ads everywhere they went to the shitter.
They were one of the first sites that redirected you to a full page ad before sending you to your link. I remember seeing those and writing an email to IGN telling them I would no longer use their site because of all the spam.
Probably because they didn't get the exclusive first review.
IGN isn't relevant anymore.
Quoting Movemodo's James Newton:
"With other Move titles making strides in gaming control, Racket Sports feels like a dinosaur; the motion-sensing is unreliable and could have been more accurately and enjoyably served by a button press, a disaster for any new motion control title. Racket Sports is precisely the kind of title we don’t want to see on Move. Save your money for the promising-looking Virtua Tennis 4."
Don't let Greenberg see this.
i want to buy natal and i trust that microsoft knows what they are doing and brings a great experience to my living room..
Do i sound like im paid to say that?
edit: why am i getting disagrees? because i want to buy natal?
Im interested in MOVE only if there are games that interest me aswell. (good tech but needs the games) The Ping pong and the Archery looked interesting. But i wanna know more about that Horror looking game. ^-^
I think I'll check out Move. If games like Ape Escape and Patapon appears for it. Sony has a lot of franchises, and some of them haven't even seen a PS3 release yet (If the cow's alive, milk it) and the technology looks interesting, and I already have the PS eye. So three reasons for me really.
@Fantasygamer:
Yeah, that flashlight game in the trailers looks great.
I will get natal for pc ui apps maybe some 360 games.
