PlayStation Move “Quite Good Actually”

playstation-move-controller.jpg

Videos of leaked PlayStation Move gameplay purport to show that the controller is not a stultifying Wiimote knock-off after all:

Despite initial doubts that Sony’s offering was a cheap rip-off of the Wii whilst only Microsoft had anything original to offer, it is beginning to seem that Kinect has significant problems, whilst the Move may yet avoid failed controller hell.

    It seems better than a Wiimote, for sure. But we'll see have to see if it isn't still just a gimmick that wears out in a few months.

    I think people here are forgetting one very important thing though.

    Is it probably going to be better then the Wii-mote? Most likely. But is it because Sony is just better then Nintendo? Not a chance in hell.

    The Wii came out...how long ago? And the PS move came out just now? Technologies advance overtime. I'd be dissappointed if they didn't make it better then the Wii-mote. The Wii came out years ago, so anything that rips it off better be better then the Wii to some extent.

    If Nintendo decided to reinvent the Wii with today's technology, they'd probably end up with something along PSMove's ability, a little better or a little worse.

    On a technical level, Move is more Kinect than Wii - it's webcam visual tracking software, plus the sort of motion sensing hardware that's in the Sixaxis.

    I'll stand by my predictions that it'll track more accurately than the Wii, in a larger area (instead of going dead if you point off screen) but may suffer rotational drift over time, which they will probably recalibrate much like the MotionPlus, by going "level... start!" and recentering it when the player's about to play.

    Now the real question is will the software FOR it suck? I want Child of Eden... but if there's nothing else, I'll just play CoE with a controller.

    Yeah. At least in the Wii's case, the system comes with the motion tracking non-controller and the MotionPlus, and you have to pay extra for the real controller to properly play (some) games.

    In Sony's and Microsoft's world, people have to spend a good hundred squids for the privilege of flinging around their arms to experience long-term fatigue.

    That's sooo not gonna fly...

    I was thinking about picking it up to play good old Time Crisis at home, where I reminisce back when I played it in arcades. But when I look back at videos posted on Youtube of the game in action, I think I must've been partly retarded when I thought at the time "THIS GAME, THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER". Terribad script, little to no logic, and just god awful voice acting. I don't see Playstation Move in anytime having me as a potential buyer.

    The worst of the three is kenect.
    X-box Really should stick to making up their own shit,sony can make good products whether or not adhering to a previous idea,their fualts line up with game quality.Which isnt realy bad but it can be noticed.

    And lets face it nintendo owns this field.Gaming is in their blood.The other two are hardware junkies not so much gamers.So its no real surprise to me that the list is more like this.

    Nintendo-Original gamers,Their hardware can sometimes be faulty but they wil eventually invent real virtual reality.

    Sony-Hardware junkies,Their hardwre is always top notch(sept for eyetoy) They juwst have to hope the developers fallow up their successful creation with good and enjoyable games.Like with the psone and 2

    X-box-The american,They can be really good in the third party area.The first X-box had an odd controller(specificaly in the location of the white and black buttons)
    But over all their even and are pretty good at coming up with original ways to make something badass in a pseudo-macho way.

    In the end they all have fualts just nintendo is a master of controlling thiers.

    Didn't you see the original introduction to the PS Move? They had the typical party games, but also the FPS shooter (forgot which) with the dude sitting on the couch. He wasn't moving, or waving his hands around. It didn't even look like he was using a Move controller.

    No, even though Sony is doing a good job, he's still ripping off. It's not like they would've made this if Wii didn't exist.

    I've actually seen the Move being used, and even used it in one of those PS3 trailers. It's exactly like the Wii, the only difference is the ability to point off-screen. I'm not really seeing anything spectacularly different from the Wii once I've actually tried it for myself.

    I'm wondering if there's a potential lawsuit coming soon due to the light in that ping pong ball at the end, since some games will make it cycle rapidly through various colours sometimes when a player wins in a game or something. Especially players who have issues with epileptic seizures.

    Yeah, my opinion too. Seems like a bunch of Sany fanboys who get an oppurtunity to think Sony is better than Nintendo, and therefore shout just that.

    But yea, it'd be pretty stupid if it was worse than the Wiimote, this coming a few years later and stuff. It's still a rip-off, just like how almost everything on a PS (and Xbox, save Kinect) controller is ripped off from Nintendo. (Who, on their turn, ripped off most of their shit too)

    Too me, it looks to much like a Wiimote to take it seriously, I just see this as a very weak-ass step on Sony's part. And besides, the Wiimote works perfectly fine with the Wiimotion+, also for finer pointing skills and such, as I've read before lots of people don't know about, saying it's not accurate enough.

    Maybe it's because I've only played the Wii a few times, but it looks like there's a lot less lag on the new controller compared to the wiimote? It'd make sense being that it's newer technology, but this way it actually makes motion sensor controllers actually... playable.
