As good as the technology is, it still resembles a sex toy.

wat6344971d ago

Reminds me of an anal probe.

Fullish4971d ago

Damn, what type have you been using?

PokemonMaster4971d ago

You probably bought one for that reason alone.

Boody-Bandit4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

Self proclaimed expert of anal probing speaks.

On topic:
Move is not a step up from the Wii.
It's in a league of it's own. It's more precise, supports a wider genre of games, higher resolution graphics, digital sound and better online services.

Although I don't expect the ignorant, immature and misinformed author of this article to understand that with his references to Sony playing catch up (wrong. Sony has been working on their motion control tech years before the Wii was launched) and immature / ignorant references to the Move looking and feeling like a sex toy.

Serious how does trash like this get approved?

Arnon4970d ago

"supports a wider genre of games, higher resolution graphics, digital sound and better online services."

Does Move, or the PS3 itself do this? If Move doesn't do this, then I'm not sure how it can be factored in as features of Move.

boodybandit4970d ago (Edited 4970d ago )

"Does Move, or the PS3 itself do this? If Move doesn't do this, then I'm not sure how it can be factored in as features of Move."

It appears Move will work with most PS3 titles from here on out. Games like LBP2, NBA 2K11, Killzone 3, MAG, Heavy Rain, on top of working on casual games. Semantics or not Move does exactly what BH stated above.

It doesn't matter if those games will also work with the Dualshock 3. The developers still have to implement Move support into those games. Some might feel tacked on but I am of the opinion that most will work great and it leaves the option up to the gamer. Personally I love having "more" options and not being forced to use one over the other.

Just think how Lair would have been perceived if not for being forced to use sixasis. Now you are giving the choice with most titles. As I am sure plenty of developers will create games from the ground up using Move.

it still resembles a black man's penis.

Sooooo, what's your point???

Parapraxis4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

Maybe you kids would be better suited to GameTrailers.... seriously GTFO and grow the F**k up.

boodybandit4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

StartWars and Fullish are Gamerlimit.
Talk about abusing your privelages. They write, submit, approve, then come here are help heat up the article. Bloggers have taken over N4G.

Gamerlimits site should be shown the door, slapped on the wrist or at the very least be placed in a time out. Startwars (great name, it suits you) and Fullish, go sit in that chair, face the corner and don't turn away until you are told!

HolyOrangeCows4971d ago

"Maybe you kids would be better suited to GameTrailers"

GT can be slightly more sane than here.
As for Gamespot's system wars forums, however....yeah, send them there.

Yuenanimous4971d ago

I'll be impressed when I see a real AAA game that uses it well...

gunnerforlife4971d ago

why the disagrees on him, hes right, nothing has so far been designed from ground up for the Move, sorcery though will change that, first day buy! think of that game as a better version of the harry potter games.

NecrumSlavery4971d ago

You'll be impressed if you actually use it. But yeah, some triple AAA games built for the Move will be uber sweet and a better seller of the product.

BryanBegins4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

I'm not worried, the tech is impressive, it works really well. Just play Tumble and you'll see. It's not AAA of course, but when the tech works, I know developpers will be able to create some good games.

Just don't expect 20 AAA Move-exclusive games a year. But a couple for sure.

On top of that, I bought the Move cause Sony can always implement Move controls on other games, such as Killzone. While I know I won't be using only the Move, it gives me a variety in gameplay.

StartWars4971d ago

Tumble is probably the best example of the potential the technology has at this point.

Parapraxis4971d ago

Sports Champions alone blows anything on the Wii out of the water on a technical standpoint...as I've said many times before, those who are still knocking Move as a mere replication of the Wii tech are simply ignorant. Move is FAR more accurate and responsive.

Those who actually have it know this as a fact, those who don't ...well they are in the dark.

Fullish4971d ago

Exactly, no point to get a move yet

Motorola4971d ago

Since you dont have it, you wouldnt know :) Play it first, u will see a reason

siliticx4971d ago

Sports champion is a great reason if you ask me... that game is awesome!

thedisagreefairy4971d ago

which comes with the move bundle is fun.

also time crisis and the fight: lights out comes out this month. they look GREAT. ive enjoyed the time crisis demo that came with bundle alot. although... the tumble game that ppl say is really fun is only mere frustrating :(

siliticx4971d ago

its an engineer game, its not for everyone.

Boody-Bandit4971d ago

when you have so much distain for it. Then you have the sheer audcity to come here and spew even more ignorance about this device you are suppose to give an objective opinion of.

How N4G allows this simply boggles my mind.
You have to check no further than you submission history to see you work for or own gamerlimit. Yeah we all are hanging on your honest opinion of this device. Gamerlimit added to the list of another site for me to ignore from here on out.

blackburn54971d ago

First of all if you at this point still using the dildo joke you are the extremely immature. It was barely funny the first time it was said and now you just sound like a five year old who learned a dirty word. Secondly what is with the sudden judgement of Move based on it's games? Since when has any hardware been judged according to the number of software for it at launch or has been launched with tons of software avaliable for it? Thirdly what is with the obcession everyone has with having games built from the ground up for the Move? Isn't the point of the Move is not only to give you new games but to improve the functionality of current games? What does making Move specific games have to do with not purchasing it? If you don't want to buy the Move that is fine but stop with the lame excuses.

xg-ei8ht4971d ago

Go play RUSE with it.

Impressive it is indeed.

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.

SullysCigar976d 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.

bouzebbal976d ago

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

thorstein976d ago

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

Bigman4k976d ago (Edited 976d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH977d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS977d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH977d 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 721977d 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??

yeahokwhatever976d 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.

SullysCigar976d 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.

LordoftheCritics977d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH977d 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?

Profchaos976d ago

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

RedDevils976d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics977d ago (Edited 977d 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.

976d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH976d ago

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

thorstein976d 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 gameAr977d 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 721977d ago

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

Orchard976d 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_Bomb976d ago (Edited 976d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH976d 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

yeahokwhatever976d ago

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

Silly gameAr976d ago (Edited 976d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH976d ago (Edited 976d 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.

Vanfernal976d 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.

ScootaKuH976d ago

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

Father__Merrin976d 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

Lack of games that proved the concept that 3rd parties could then copy en masse?

Silly Mammo976d ago

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_DC976d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy977d 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.

Ryushaa977d 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.

jukins977d 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.

Profchaos976d 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.

yeahokwhatever976d ago

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

EvertonFC977d ago

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

yeahokwhatever976d 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.

CDbiggen979d ago

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

MadLad979d 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?

mkis007979d ago

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

Knightofelemia979d 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.

neutralgamer1992979d ago

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

979d ago
neutralgamer1992979d 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

MadLad979d 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.

franwex979d ago

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

neutralgamer1992979d 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 Logic979d 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.

MadLad979d ago (Edited 979d 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.
