So last night Sony announced their PS3 motion controller, the Playstation Move, at GDC. http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/10/playsta...first-hands-on/ if you want more info google it or you might be able to find more on G4tv.com so lets get some feedback, comments, hopes, predictions, whatever

So from what I saw, if they do it correctly, I think theres a possibility that PS3 could overthrow the Wii with this. it comes out this fall and there was an announcement that itll have a bundle pack with an eye toy for under $100. I've got high hopes for this especially because the motion control works how Wii's motion controller was supposed to. You actually have to do the motions instead of flicking your wrist back and forth. It's going to be great for fighters but they're also incorporating it for shooters which they used SOCOM 4 as an example. I'm not really big on shooters and I don't think it'll do so well for games like that, maybe your opinion is different.They also plan on incorporating its use with existing games, like LBP, it looks much easier to use rather than using that poppet for the level creator.

So lets hear what you guys have to say about it

*Siiiigh* Just no, stop it, Sony. Unless you can increase the immersion further (3D TVs, perhaps?) motion controls will ultimately be a bunch of flailing that is wholly unnecessary.

[KirbyFanOne]

Virtual reality is, to me, the final frontier in the gaming business. Until we can immerse an entire gamers body into the universe we're just playing with gimmicks. But the VR is going to be really pricey, so it could also mean the end of the industry. I like to sit back and watch to see what happens.

[Suigetsu]

They had the tech. to make these controllers and were talking about them since the system first came out.

Since I own both a Wii and a Ps3, I think it's too much like a Wiimote for me to really have any interest. I never cared about motion controls when I bough the PS3, so why should I start caring now?

I'm not as wowed by the motion controls on the Wii as I was four years ago, so while I do enjoy playing with that control scheme, it's not a deciding factor anymore when buying a game. If Sony plans on releasing the games that use the Move with traditional control as well, that's even less incentive for me to buy it. I suppose if it was a Move-only game that was REALLY amazing it might pique my interest.

I got to try out a temple inducer the other day, basically it makes you hear things inside your head. very fun stuff like that would make sony skreetle ahead

My first thought was that it looked like it would belong in a sex shop.

Oh Sony! You think of everything, dontcha!?

I honestly loved Sony with the playstation and PS2. I don't have the money for a PS3 but if I did I would prob buy one but c'mon. Its obvious they are trying to copy the wii and the 360 with project natal (which is going to be extremely freakkkin creepy). They just want to branch out and do what all the other guys are doing. They should try being original and make something we havent seen before.

Why does that green glowing one in the video make me think....Lightsaber?

[Tiamat97]

there have been predictions that eventually playstation will make 3D games, some think its because they have the bluray technology

Oh I'm sure it could be done, but console is only one part of that equation; without 3D TVs, they're just wasting their time.

[Tiamat97]

quite right

[mendokuse]

I love my PS3. I love my Wii. Both have many things that I like. The Wii has games I want and a mechanic that works well with those games. The PS3 has games and capabilities that I also enjoy that Wii doesn't necessarily have. But when you try to combine the 2 such as this case, I tend to resist that movement. Can the Playstation Move give me something that will greatly increase my interest in future games and capabilities? Probably not.
I did get Guitar Hero and was willing to shell out the extra money for it. Was not interested in the balance board or DJ Hero at all. I will wait and see what this new accessory might bring to my table.

temple inducers, pain simulators, eye triggered motion tracking.....


oh.... such fun for a system.... I would buy it no matter what the price

[Matt PNiewski]

This is going to be a big as the "Eye Toy".....

LOL!

Who even had those things for the PS2!? I never actually saw one before. Now something they should look into is the awesome n64 pokemon sticker maker. Booyah!

Mmm Natal staff seemed like the really really liked the Eye toy for the ps2 (and also ps3). I wouldn't say they are coping, im pretty sure its company has its ideals for motion control and nintendo just used it to base it off their system.

Either way, Why complain people? Its not like Sony is MAKING us buy the addition. Its there if we want to buy it.

Ill probably eventually get it if theres an awesome swords game coming out with it.

More money spent on a side-project like the Move = less money spent on useful things, like game development, network infrastructure upgrades, etc.

werll if they don't make good games for it, then they gotta make something else...

Not going to complain, just joke about how this is going to be a hilarious failure, like 3D Television. People are not going to buy a peripherial only to be used for a minority of games at a high price without even a decent packaged in game.....


Nintendo makes their peripherials sell by packaging some of their best games with them, and the different levels of compatability with their products..... Playstation is announcing this, so long after the technology has been available, and giving no incentive to buy.

Best thing I can come up with is that it's gimmicky. It'll make some producers feel like they HAVE to utilize this technology, only which 25% of whom will implement it correctly without making it repetitive.

The question I'd ask is, why? Why work on an idea that's been done (albeit making it better) rather than some that's actually innovative?

That's why Nintendo wins points over Sony or Microsoft. That's why they're still a heavy hitter: specs, power, and capacity isn't everything.

[Haggisstew]

Oui know what Sony sould've done with dra money used in developing dra Move... make an afordable-backwords compatible PS3.

[Sir Viver]

Playstation Move: Because copying the Wii at the last second in 2006 with the SIXAXIS just wasn't "Sony" enough.

People tried to say the same thing about Playstation Home how they could be spending money on "useful things" like game dev, network upgrades, ect YET as Home advances so does game dev, network infrastructure, ect.........
