WreckedGamer's Playstation Move Review

This is going to be blunt and to the point. The Playstation Move is the most interactive, in-depth, and well thought about motion controller on the market.

PS3 Move and Nav were backordered in GS. i think Nav is still backordered.

and my local kmart had only 1 Move and zero nav control left.

it must be selling more than sony expects

hay4974d ago

It's the new big thing.

My gamestop were answering calls when I was in line. Most of them said, "Playstation Move? Yeah we got it." And every1 on line bought a Move related item.

"This is going to be blunt and to the point. The Playstation Move is the most interactive, in-depth, and well thought about motion controller on the market."

Truth.

Ping Pong and Disc golf are amazing demostrations of this devices potential. 1:1 indeed. It`s better than I thought it would be.

And the most important thing, it have games for anyone that it works.

My 2yr old son is having a blast with the bug swat game. The wife and I are getting our feel in Sports Champions. It is some pretty amazing tech.

dc14974d ago

My 4 year old daughter is in love with the eyepet demo (looks like another purchase).
Tonight I'm going to kick my wifes butt in ping pong. wait... shes watching me type this.... I got to run ...O_o

Kinect object scanning adds some color to Joy Ride

Microsoft's Kudo Tsunoda has expressed an optimistic viewpoint on Kinect's rarely utilized ability to scan real-world objects and incorporate them into games. At a recent Tokyo Game Show demonstration of Kinect Joy Ride, he revealed a small example of how Microsoft-owned developer BigPark utilizes the motion-sensing camera's capture capabilities.

iamnsuperman4975d ago

Still not the same as the skateboard thing.... But still nice to see it there considering the Move can do it too. They should advertise it more because then it will show that Move isn't the only one with that feature

Imperator4974d ago

Is this game on rails? I heard the only thing you can control is the direction and in certain cases get a boost in speed.

lashes2ashes4974d ago

you can turn and boost and thats it

kneon4974d ago

I wonder how they got around Sony's patent on this feature.

ActionBastard4974d ago

That's considered object scanning?

Imperator4974d ago (Edited 4974d ago )

Yep, anyone who played Eyepet/ any game on the PSeye in the last few years has already used this so how exactly is this so new? I'm not referring to this particular article, but just in general. People seem to forget that the PSeye has been doing everything that Kinect does for last few years.

beardpapa4974d ago

sadly, only the core would know of something like that. the casuals will think of how magical it is.

doG_beLIEfs4974d ago

MS fans and the media seem to forget that the PSeye can and HAS done everything that the Kinect has shown us so far....and in many cases the Eye does it better. 60fps eye vs. 30fps kinect allows the eye to track at 2wice the speed of kinect.

It is really sad that the media is allowing MS to get away with this BS of "never been done b4".....its ridiculous.

PS...I just got Move yesterday and I am floored by what it CAN do now and the potential of it from seeing the tech demos.

Once you go Move you DISkinect and stop playing with your Wii.

tiamat54974d ago

That is true iamnsuperman. Beat Sketch can scan real objects into the game. Sony needs to tell everyone that they can do basically everything Kinect can.

Hyrius4974d ago (Edited 4974d ago )

And more ( = hardcore games ).

Christopher4974d ago

Beat Sketch does have some limitations to how it draws things in. The major difference here is that Microsoft is attempting to match the depth of an object in-game. So, it's not just a flat scan, but a rendering of the object in 3D from a single side as well.

Both have issues with identifying what to scan in general, let alone doing it well enough for it to be worthwhile.

Christopher4974d ago (Edited 4974d ago )

So, the exact same thing you can do with Move, minus the on screen painting/drawing with a wand?

C'mon Microsoft, you've only got two more months until release. If you can't do it by then, be honest with us. I mean, honestly, it's something that's going to be extremely hard to do since you're attempting to tell the camera to scan only one object in an environment possibly filled with them at different depth levels. And, even then, you're capturing the image with a low-res camera, so it's likely not going to look that great even when scanned in.

BrianC62344974d ago

Sony had this ability back on the PS2 with the Eye Toy even. He seems to be making a lot over nothing.

tudors4974d ago

In theory all they would have to do is use a stencil to scan objects in, once in game you select scan skateboard and the stencil looks for the closest match, i know it is not that simple but it is only software.

Moonboots4974d ago

As someone has said above. This isn't just doing a 2D stencil scan of the object, it is attempting to match depth as well.

How about just waiting to see and not condemning it at the first attempt from a developer.
