It looks like the Move will be easy to develop for, because according to this interview Socom 4 was nearly complete when Sony made Zipper add Move support to the game and they reportedly did so with ease, same goes for Little Big Planet. Both games were retrofitted to support Move.

This might lead to Move getting a lot of 3rd party support, not saying more support is a good thing with all the guaranteed shovel-ware and all, but some of those shovel-ware turn out to be good..... sometimes.

And here is a quote from the interview;
"EDGE - What sort of resources do you currently have dedicated to Move within SCE?
Yoshida - We have more than 20 teams working on Move."

20 teams in-house? Now that's a lot of in-house support, clearly this is not a gimmick to Sony.

cant wait for this! damn can anyone imagine an fps with this! a freaking fps! A F P S! get it?! breating...heavily...

Sony seems pretty confident about Move, that's good. Hopefully this won't fade away after a year like the eyetoy did. We'll have to see though, I'll probably pick up one just for giggles unless it turns out to be really good. If it's really good I'll probably buy another so me and a friend can goof around.

... goofing around with balls on a stick.

Anyone know if they have announced a price yet? All I know is that the PS-Eye/Move controller is going to cost under $100. I'm not gonna be very impressed if it comes out being $99.

Nearly Half Of Gamers Play Video Games To "Express Themselves," Study Finds

Many players find it easier to express themselves while playing games. Yet, over half of the surveyed gamers still play to relieve stress.

I wonder what place made this study, and it's Fandom, no wonder half of the people said that, I find it hilarious that Fandom of all places did manage to pull more than 50% for the argument of playing games for self expression

Honestly i don't believe this statistic. All we need is an executive to believe it and they'll focus more on how to "express" ourselves over good gameplay and further ruin gaming.

I actually just play to relax/have fun, get immersed in another world for a while and enjoy the story/characters, who the hell plays to "express themselves"? I can understand how that applies to say Minecraft, where you're actually making things, but I don't think you can apply this to most games.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

Wolfenstein: The New Order - A Highly Rated FPS That Hasn't Stood the Test of Time

Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?

Seth_hun8h ago

I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces

All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.

I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.

Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.

Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
