It will fail. The hair cutting, coloring the shapes and get the bird in the nest games, will not appeal to anyone over 3. They need a PS-sports game, with cute boxing, tennis, baseball, and basketball. Keep it simple so anyone could enjoy, but execute well on gameplay. What they have here is first party shovelware at best.

Off topic. That guy on the rights scares the "bajesu" out of me. I think the other 2 guys are scared of him too.

Have you not seen Sports Championships yet? That is basically the PS-Sports you speak of. Its not cute, thugh, as it's much more realistic that the Wii's Mii's.

Oh and,

I want Move Party :3

Move party is strongly aimed at families with kids under 11 just like that main Eyetoy game was. I don't remember it but I used to play it.

Don't worry I am sure Sony will make some great casual games all their plans should be relieved by the end of E3.

Personally I doubt I will buy any casual games... maybe Sport Champion.

I really would like Motion Fighter though :P

sikbeta5129d ago

There are a lot of Games Sony is Showing, The sword & Shield fighting Game + Ping-Pong + Archery + Motion Fighters + "The Shoot" or something and Motion Party is part of Those Games, so it's Clear that Sony is Doing Great by trying to Cater every kind of Gamer, this is a Family-fun Game, mom, pop and the kids...

I'm waiting a survival horror exclusive for Move. I hope they can show a trailer or gameplay at E3.

You are missing the point and might not have watched the whole video. This is another one of the Developer Diaries (part 5, in fact) and it discusses the "augmented reality" ability of Move. It is more evidence of the capabilities of Move and it is being SHOWN. This is a far cry from MS, which is not showing anything about Natal. And, by the way, I am personally looking forward to Move and the casual games. I have a 6 year old and he will love this. Plus, the more core games for me (i.e., Socom)!

sikbeta5129d ago (Edited 5129d ago )

Exactly, they're showing how the augmented reality works and talking about an Specific Game, this game have a variety of stuff to do, like cutting hair, the point is to show with this game how you can change/move/and more "emulated objects" with PS-Move that you see on screen, If they're going to talk about augmented reality, they're not going to show Motion-Fighters cuz what you do on that game is Throw punches...

So far, this is the one PS Move game that I just have absolutely no interest in. And, after trying to get my nephews to play some PS3 Eye games, my nephews won't give a dang about these either.

I'm proud to say that my 5-9 year-old nephews are already hardcore gamers *wipes tear from his eye*

Dorfdad5129d ago

Game looks rubbish, and someone needs to tell this dude the 60's have come and gone :)

Im all for a wii-sports ripoff on the PS3 How about Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, Horse shoes or midget tossing!?? Mix it up make a PAIN game for it. You control the aiming and firing of the man like a crossbow man do I have to do everything for these developers with no creativity!

sikbeta5129d ago

This is Move-Party, it's not like the only Game Sony is showing, so don't worry, there will be Games for Every kind of Gamer...

Chubear5129d ago

..it's a party game not a sporting game. If you want to see a Move Sports game then you can have a look at a few vids of Sports Championship.

I'd say, for it's first outing, the PSmove is delivering more than what the Wii was promised to do and it's only the beginning.

WHat's been shown of the Move so far in so many genres has been highly impressive but the games we will see for the Move a year, 2yrs, 3yrs from now will be jaw droppingly outstanding.

They finally changed that stupid pink ball to blue which makes a lot more sense and looks a lot better.

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.

H96h ago

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

phoenixwing2h ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic2h ago

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.

Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.

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

hiawa234h ago(Edited 4h ago)

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

ChasterMies4h ago

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.

Skuletor2h ago

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

Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.

Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?

DefenderOfDoom23h ago

What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
