Playstation Move: It'll Move You

What makes the Playstation Move have the potential to be a lot more than a gimmick, is that they are not (they'ren't?) just making it for casuals, they are making it for hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike. Its precision allows you to do things that just wouldn't work well with the Wii, like online gaming or hardcore games like Socom 4, while still being able to have fun with not so serious games. It's taking motion controls to a whole new level.

that's one thing that the wiimote can be used for shooting games.

but there is other things that can be done with move that can't be done with the wiimote but shooting is not one of them.

Forbidden_Darkness5153d ago

Have you ever played a shooter on the wii? Its not really that fun and games like shooters dont sell well on the Wii compared to the PS3.

The Wii doesn't have that precision to play a game like socom anyways, not to its full extent, and the Wii's online is horrible at best.

Sunny_D5152d ago

Oh yeah baby, you know I like to move ;)

HaloReachGOTY5153d ago

I have nothing against the ps3 (Move) i think it's great to have a HD wii. Then again i'm more looking forward to Natal which is light years more Advanced and will revolutionize the way we play games.

Forbidden_Darkness5152d ago

Dont you mean Eye Toy Plus? How is it so advanced compared to the PS Move? I havent even seen anything besides smoke and mirrors for Natal thus far.

mrv3215152d ago

Your also looking forward to Reach so HD must not be your thing...

It's nice having an eyetoy for $100,

It will revolutionize video games IT REMOVED BUTTONS. I've seen more advanced NES controllers seriously... Buttons are a proven fact to be useful.

But hey look at me pointing out facts, like the fact that the burnout demo didn't even have analogue controls BRILLIANT.... it'll revolutionize games in a way we've not seen yet... it'll take them back a few generations. Light years more advanced? Than what the colossus, because I saw similar tech on the PS2.

Sunny_D5152d ago

Meh, somebody show that eyetoy video from 2002 or 2004 that showed the same light year features that Natal is supposedly showing.

zootang5152d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

The funny thing is Sony and Nintendo have both stated they could have gone with the Natal tech but chose not to. All MS have shown has been smoke and mirrors.

I got conned into buying a HD-DVD drive and 2 xboxs. What's that saying.... Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me

Maybe they will show something in E3.

Heres a link to my thread, scroll down to the very bottom picture and you'll see what might be a survival horro game:

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie4d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii4d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
