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.
What will the people who brake their TVs with this be called?
I will buy it just to stick in my gf ass!
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.
For fucksake, either hold the camera steady or put it on a damn tripod.
^THIS
lol viral marketing
if anything its a better wii controller
You say that 'cause you're too dumb to use the fuckin' safety strap.
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...
AnonAnon, here,
Well, if you can't teach them through words, let them learn by experience...
That aside, I don't think many people will learn because not many have the intention to think whilst they play.
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.
bu..but! Those things are what MAKE it awesome!
How is Kinect original? It's pretty much the eyetoy/playstion eye and Im almost certain that sony had a game just like the kinetamals( kinect + animals?)
wow, much better than the natal piece of shit
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.
I want to see a PORN a actress playing a PS3 while using the controller stuck in their Vagina and Anal. THINK IT'S POSSIBLE?
It all comes down to what they make with that controller, because those mini games looked very boring.
hast anyone realized that Xbox is ripping off the old Ps2's Eyetoy.. ?
Hmm, that sexy sexy russian accent.
Jesus fuck is there one post here that does NOT ridicule the controller for its design?
Its getting a BIT too immature now guys,come on.
I remember a ton of shit heads did the same thing with the Wii controller............hell,even the Wii NAME.
"ZOMG IT IS NOW CALLED THE WII HAHAHA SOUNDS LIKE WEE-WEE HAHAHAHA PENIS"
Fucking hell just shut up about it already.
I dunno, I never really liked the Wii remote and I doubt I'll like Move any better. Plus I don't see what Sony and Mircosoft are going to accomplish by this other then trying to cash in on the flood of casual gamers the Wii produced.
good god it looks like a penis
i love the wii mote :D since it looks cool and it's actually fun(no more heroes,re4,metroid prime trilogy and so on) hopefully developers will include the move in the right games like demon souls, resident evil 5, no more heroes paradise and so on.
Thank goodness for rechargeable batteries.
Am I the only one who doesn't want to fucking stand up and move my arms when I play a game?
I like my normal controller and all this motion controller this and motion controller that is just stupid shit and a waste of money.
are you idiot? if that thing waste your money then just don't buy it
Amen to that.
gay detected, normal guy definitelly won't become gay because of that
Seriously: kill yourself.
Did he say to ride his dick?
Seriously...
Using this thing makes you look gay.
No, one's pink and the other's blue so you give out more like bisexual signals if you swing those things around.
No, really: kill yourself.
I want the opportunity to play games that require this AND games that require normal controllers?
I find them both fun and both of them have a time and place and limitations of their own. :/
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.
You have the choose to not buy, don't be mad it's ok.
Motion controller must be use with caution, too much
"sports" can injure you !...
It seems to me a certain guy is waving a vibrator in front of the Tv >_>
That kid or his parents sure like S*ny.
Sony tv, laptop and ps3.
yeah my father likes sony too (laptop, monitor, tv, ps3, surround system,heck even an old record player)
his dad must work for sony, that, or he works for sony... or he's a she.
Maybe they work for Sony, seeing as how he was not willing to say how he got his stuff. I wonder if he's Kevin Butler's son... Kevin Butler's dumb stupid and non-funny black sheep son.
He has a wii too
WIN! Right there!
This kid has some hope for a life if he has different consoles. ^_^=b
In spite of that, it still cannot kill A Dracula...
Hey look, Sankaku hypes sony but bashes MS. How original. Not. I swear this site is 80% porn, and 20% sony fan wanking.
Go suck one, troll.
Well, considering Sony produces good stuff, while M$ doesn't this is pretty legit.
I don't want to know how many people who say that use MS products...like Windows or Office...
It's people like you that make fanboys look bad. I mean fanboys are just morons, but guys like you are worse. You make a blanket statement that one company produces GOOD stuff and another doesn't. That is what ignorance is. You either really believe what you say, and if you do then I feel sorry for you. OR.... You make these statements because you are a fanboys fanboy. In either case don't reproduce.
Sony makes good stuff
MS makes good stuff
nintendo makes good stuff
AND VICE VERSA.
actually there was ps move bashing articles before
Thus the article's headline.
Hi, looks like you're new here. Please head to the back and take a right turn. When you come across the room with a label that says "Newfag Club", enter it. Your initiation will begin there.
I would bash the newfag, but your an idiot.
Did you mean "you're"?
who's the idiot now, eh?
Kill yourself.
Nobody said that you had to come here and waste forum page space.
Hmm interesting. -thinks of possiblilti... wait. This is SONY we're talking about here...-
AnonAnon, here,
Wait....There are possibilities?
I thought I just saw what a motion-sensing remote looks like RETROFITTED to the ps3. O_O;;
At least it fits better than the Wii.
AnonAnon, here,
If you can't make it fit, then you're not qualified to use it.
WHAT exactly I'm talking about may or may not be your wii(mote). ^_~
Well du'h, of course it's better than the Wii.
Think about it. A technology that comes 4 year after the original Wiimote. It would be pretty stupid if it's worse...
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.
Well the Wii ripped off the XavixPort so it's all good
When I fist saw this in E3 i already knew it wasn't just a wii knock out. the movement accuracy actually impressed me.
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.
I didn't notice a real difference. Fan boys getting excited for nothing in my book.
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.
Same here. Big fucking deal, I get the same shit from 4 years ago with better graphics. I need something more enticing if this is supposed to be the IT factor of this holiday season.
Yes, it does fit better. The Wii controller's angles have proven to be quite uncomfortable during insertion.
"insertion" might be unfitting
...
ok unfitting might be misleading too for some people (unfitting actually is a word isn`t it)
AnonAnon, here,
Go google it if it isn't in your head. :D
I never really liked the super sensitive navigation for the Wii. I lose my nerve for every miss I make with that pointer. And that's just the Wii menu goddammit.
These remind me of those signal lights that people use when signaling aircraft to land. If i wave this around especially outside, I wonder if a sony helicopter would land in front of me...
It does look like a penis or dildo
I can't wait for your pictures.
I can't wait to try it out...
That's why its called Wii.
Your pointer literally goes "WIIIIIII" around the screen without brakes.
On another note; Am I the only one still thinking it's a giant, colorful but useful dildo?
I forgot how much I love this fucked up site.
same with lonesnipa, i wonder why didn't he show the sword fighting, from the demo i do notice the lag, not sure how fast swings will work out too.
i did notice lag too, but i think they all have a little lag. maybe do to the amount of information traveling. i don't know, i notice some of my wireless mouses have lag too. either way if the lag is consistant regardless of the speed of motion, then i wouldn't count it as a total loss, just a bit of a learning curve.
TWO dildos, glowing balls that change color according to different "gameplay" with Dualshock?!
Sounds like a Saturday night party ^^
this thing has dualshock? oh my
your not
@Schrobby So women will put it in the mouth hole? I guess it would work if you're into BDSM. Otherwise, I'm sure his comment was directed at the rear end... unless I'm reading this way too wrongly.
@Yoshi-kun
It has built-in Dualshock..?
Now I don't need to order 'those' things to satisfy the needs of my derriere from the internet anymore...
Hmmm. The archery game shows a firing arc? I hope thats just on the easy mode or can turn that off because thats kinda shitty.
And I kinda wanted to see the sword fighting in action... So I could actually see how it works when shit gets frantic.
Glowing balls that change according to "gameplay" eh?
Sounds like a party ^^
It's TWO dildos. Luckily, girls have two holes to explore as well! How suspiciously convenient of them...
Well, it aims better than Wii.
Also with the press button to navigate function you won't have to lose the narrow pointer range after you've put the remote down :P
You're not the only one. That thing IS a glowing dildo.
Add a cam and it can be used as endoscope. ^_^
Oh, yeah. No glowing ball for the back hole, though. That's discrimination! ^_^
To be completely honest, I really don't see much of a difference. PS3 graphics and a wii mote (with glowy ball).
Fits better than the Wii? Fits where? I'm both disgusted and confused.
Where the sun usually don't shine silly..
It's a SONY!
are you BLIND???
playstation move definitely better,
you cannot do smooth move like in the sword and archer like that in wii dumb ass
Actually, once that ball pops in it'd suck ass to pull back out. Probably make a disgusting ~plop~ noise too. The Wii-mote is more streamlined.
That glowing ball will be Sony's anal dildo downfall.
For some activities; silent activity is boring activity.
*squelchsquelchsquelch*
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.
