Child of Eden PlayStation 3 Release Date Announced

Ubisoft has announced the release date and price for Child of Eden for the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation Move supported Child of Eden will hit shelves in North America on September 20 for $49.99. If you're still on the fence about the game, you can check out our Child of Eden review for the Xbox 360 to see why we loved it so much.

That is great now let us do some pancaking! Also While I know the game will be great, I will wait for a price drop. Seeing how most games now a days see a 20 dollar price 2-3 weeks after release.

Dart894693d ago (Edited 4693d ago )

Is this game any good??

KingSlayer4693d ago

Super short, but very fun. I played it at a friend's house. After 20min of playing with Kinect, she went to the controller because she got tired. Tired of waving her arms and tired of me laughing at her. I'll grab this on PS3 when it's $20. We beat it in under 4 hours.

EVILDEAD3604693d ago (Edited 4693d ago )

LOL @ KingSlayer trolling two articles about Child of Eden within 15 minutes..

First it's Child of Eden is a 'flop'..next article..umm I played it at a friends house w/ Kinect just to point out that he was laughing at her..LMAO..suuuure you did

On topic..

I played at my OWN house...Game is amazing..people that watched ME play or actually play themselves are in awe of the visual and experience..pick it up for whatever console you want..but if you own a PS3 then look out for it in September

KingSlayer4693d ago

Well, selling 34,000 units for the "Best Played with Kinect" version is a flop. Hence, I'm getting it on PS3 (where it will be appreciated). And I really give a shit if you believe me or not. You, as I, are avatars on a site and have obligation to prove anything. Basically, piss off.

EVILDEAD3604693d ago

'Well, selling 34,000 units for the "Best Played with Kinect" version is a flop. Hence, I'm getting it on PS3 (where it will be appreciated'

LMAO @ the ultimate case of 'playing sales'..

You can buy the game for whatever system you want..but clearly the version that made you want to buy it was 'Best Played at YOUR FRIEND HOUSE with Kinect'.LOL

Yup the game hasnt sold..but listen to the critics and people like your friend who bought the game..THEY appreciate it..and even with the slow start (and zero promotion)..Child of Eden isn't going anywhere..as the price comes down and word of mouth gets out it could still end up a sleeper title in the end.

But good intentions for the game clearly werent the purpose of your comment in the first place.

KingSlayer4693d ago

I'm not playing sales, I'm showing you damn near NO ONE with a 360 bought it. I don't own Kinect, nor will I, so if I have an opportunity to see a game I've been interested in seeing/playing Kinect controls with, I'll take it. The PS3 version isn't out, so what choice do I have? Oh, that's right! I can go to my good friend's home and play (we actually beat it) and make a decision that it is a good game. Just not with Kinect. What are you not understanding? Instead of playing defense, listen to the people that have actually got hands on with it and if I choose to laugh at Kinect (and your arms WILL get tired) I will.

BioDemon-4691d ago

Yeah Kingslayer, you're right, Ps3 players are so much more diverse. http://www.vgchartz.com/pre... Oh wait....

I agree the price is being too high . I want to play it, but the price point is too high. This should be downloadable for $15. But I am willing to pay $25 tops.

sinncross4693d ago

SCEA has a policy that a game can not be put up for disc release at say a $20 price point, and will therefore have to be a PSN release.

Jonmau54693d ago

PS3 don't even need this game, it's rubbish on Xbox. I have both and I would not want to play this game again on either platform.

firemassacre4693d ago (Edited 4693d ago )

ill wait 4 a pricedrop. no way ima get over skyrim dark souls bf3 and uc3 that fast, and this aswell.... besides i have no time.

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.

SullysCigar984d 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.

bouzebbal984d ago

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

thorstein984d ago

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

Bigman4k984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH985d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS985d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH985d 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 721985d 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??

yeahokwhatever985d 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.

SullysCigar984d 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.

LordoftheCritics985d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH985d 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?

Profchaos985d ago

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

RedDevils985d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics985d ago (Edited 985d 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.

985d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH985d ago

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

thorstein984d 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 gameAr985d 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 721985d ago

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

Orchard985d 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_Bomb985d ago (Edited 985d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH985d 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

yeahokwhatever985d ago

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

Silly gameAr984d ago (Edited 984d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH985d ago (Edited 985d 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.

Vanfernal984d 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.

ScootaKuH985d ago

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

Father__Merrin984d 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 Mammo984d 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_DC984d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy985d 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.

Ryushaa985d 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.

jukins985d 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.

Profchaos985d 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.

yeahokwhatever985d ago

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

EvertonFC985d ago

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

yeahokwhatever985d 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.

CDbiggen987d ago

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

MadLad987d 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?

mkis007987d ago

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

Knightofelemia987d 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.

neutralgamer1992987d ago

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

987d ago
neutralgamer1992987d 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

MadLad987d 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.

franwex987d ago

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

neutralgamer1992987d 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 Logic987d 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.

MadLad987d ago (Edited 987d 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.
