Anyone Pick Up Playstation Move?

So Playstation Move launched today for the PS3 to what seems to be very little fanfare. The launch lineup is weak and the general perception seems to be that it is basically just Wii HD. The costs also are high when considering most people will feel the need to buy multiple devices in order to take full advantage of the system.

Tiger Woods 11 on the PS3 has Move functionality patched in and next month’s John Daly’s Prostroke Golf will include it as well. NBA 2K11 tacks on Move for the blacktop dunk contest along with a scheme for use in regular gameplay.That is about the extent of it for now when it comes to sports games though MLB 11: The Show will offer it as an optional control scheme as well next year. Early word has been that it works really well in Tiger but not quite so in 2K11 and it is doubtful that anyone would choose to play that way regardless. There is a reason why motion control for most team sports games have not been successful and I can’t imagine that changing due to the system being played on.

Did you pick up Playstation Move, have you tried it, or just have no interest in it? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

I dont have have interest in it. I like to relax when playing videogames but that’s just me. I think these companies are wasting a lot of R & D dollars in something that won’t make money in the long term.

ill probaly buy it later, like around chiesitmas.

NOPE! If i want motion then I will go outside and do something. The whole point of gaming is to kicked back on the sofa with food and beverage on hand and just grind. Even Sony relized this when they canx’d the PS Move conrols for its up coming SOCOM game. Could you imagine have to mimic shooting a gun while standing in your living room for a typical grind session of your favorite shooter game. That would be sheer torture. LOL

Praise the Lord! Daley spoke the truth, hell even if it’s the first post of his I agree with, yaaaaay

Was that really necessary. This is what starts all this off topic BS. Try and grow up.

Geez was actually just agreeing with his post? Try and mind your own business.

I bought it but so far have only played the demo games. I agree that the best gaming is done on the couch, but my 6yr old daughter can now play games with me…. worth the mininal expenditure in my view.

It’s basically the Sony Wii. It even looks similar

I have an idea for the next BIG thing for consoles…I call it FOCUS.

These companies should all just focus on designing better, more immersive and innovative video games rather than trying to design gadgets to simulate average games at being better.

Yea i pick it up its real accurate its up to the game developers to make games that work for it but the tech is amazing i can see playing killzone or socom with it

I did pick it up today, though won’t really be able to play it until next week as I’m heading out of town. I did preorder it and had a surplus of bad games to trade in towards it, so I figured why not. Sports Champions looks good for now, but I may pick up bowling when that comes out.

picked up Move Sports Champion Bundle, and Racquet Sports. I thought both games picked up my movement well, the table tennis in Sports Champions was realistic with the slices and top spin, but i found it hard to figure out when to use backhand/forehand and sometimes accidently hit the ball. Bocce is pretty good. I wish Sports Champions had online play, Racquet Sports does, but no one was online.

I bought it pasta, and i have to say, its really really fun. I enjoy the responsiveness, and anyone that loves the wii will definitly love this. Its much better in my opinion. I have been playing it all day, while im tired, i cant get enough of it.

WARNING: don’t knock it til you try it trust me I was skeptical and said the “shits prolly whack” had a gift card for best buy and purchased this i really think they could make a great sports game with this this is honestly 1:1. Ive tried the sword battle which is alot of fun you can block dodge left and right its more strategic and fun than the one in wii sports. I also had alot of fun with the frisbee golf. I myself prefer to sit and play games but some games could translate well into motion control. For instance how cool would it be if you could do Be a Pro in madden as a qb with motion control. Im not sure how it would translate to any other positions but idk try it out for sure.

I just finished playing the TW11 demo with it. I can’t seem to swing hard enough. Lol. My average swing strength seemed to be around 70%. Gotta figure that out. Now I’m about to mess with Eyepet. Lol.

I’ll say this – People whine about everything. Love the remarks about going outdoors and being active and all that jazz. While I believe this is NO replacement for living life and going outdoors and being active, this is an alternative. I, for one, am no slouch in the physical department. Basically, I’m fairly diesel so I’m no slouch in that department. I gotto the gym, do lots of cardio in and out of the gym including running at the track and playing basketball. I’m also going to buy another bicycle, sooner or later, and I am FAR more active than any other gamer I know.

I also love video games. The Wii is fun and so is this. I don’t understand why people have to pigeon hole people as if people don’t know how to do other things. I think I live a pretty well rounded life. I go out with friends, women, by myself, whatever. I do what I can and work, as well. Motion controls are just another dimension to gaming (did someone say it’s NOT immersive???) and I like it. If you don’t, don’t try to bad mouth it as if what u say is law. Just say it’s not for u.

I picked it up and I have too say, it is the most fun I have had in a long time. I picked up Sports Champions and The Table Tennis game is official, once you open up the silver level you are playing the real game. You really have to “MOVE” to get in position and your paddle must hit the ball properly to get what you’re looking for.

Tumble is awesome in 3D your every move is refelected.

Gladiator Duel this is a Jewel of a game, bronze level is forgiving, but once you reach silver wow the ante is upped and strategy is a must.

What I like most about Gladiator Duel is the Victory poses that have augmented reality Sword and shield pics that you can save too your hDD or send to facebook to share.

Beat Sketcher is awesome, a drawing game where you create a beat, to a symphonic sound that is of your creation.

Sports Champions is the truth you better get up on it.

yeah I got the move. I went to gamestop and decided to trade in 15 old ps3 games I never play anymore and got $224 dollars. Then I was like “Well might as well get it.”

got it home and it is way better than I thought. I knew it was accurate but if you do the calibration right (very simple) its so amazing, like playing the real sports. I loved the fact it felt like playing with the Frisbee inside the house.

Its good. So far the games are alright, SC addictive. There could be better games for sure. Still haven’t tried RE5:gold

If I wanted to play games with a wand I would get a Wii. The Kinect has more interesting tech but I am not purchasing either until the secondary lineup of games is launched. The launch lineups for both The Move and Kinect is garbage.

Need to see games that will utilize the technology for more than party games and games where the application of the device is patched in.

Why is SONY waisting their time on something that has already been accomplished? They need to hurry up with the 3d virtual reality helmets!

People who say it’s a Wii HD have obviously never played it.

I don’t play video games for absolute realism and immersion, I play them to have a good time and I can’t see myself enjoying this if I’m jumping around and waving my arms around like I’m having a heart attack.

whitemamba is ignorant

People don’t jump around and wave their arms when they are having a heart attack nimrod. They tend to clutch their chest and fall to the ground. Dumbass!!!!

haha, good one.

Got it yesterday. Played eyepet with my daughter, she did not want to turn it off. Finally got to play Sports Champions after she went to bed. Only tried ping pong, sword fighting, frisbee, and archery. I only played each one for about 15 minutes and I like them all. Recommend stretching first, I was swinging really hard in the sword fighting game, damn near jerked my arm out of socket. I can definitely see the potential for some great games with this. Very precise and accurate, which makes it feel much more real. Never forgot I was playing a game on the Wii, this I did. Thats a great thing.
give it a chance

got it yesterday and i was so pissed cause it wouldnt connect cause i didnt have my usb went over my friend got mine back played it. it really good my friend played it like a wii and kept blindly swinging and he sucked i said treat it like real ping pong he did now hes good.disk golf is so fun and accurate every game is pretty fun. i think anybody should pick this up if you dont like wii you might still like this.I mean, i hate wii its in my closet right now but move is something different

Honestly, whats so good on 3D? Nothing! A couple of years ago HD was the revolution, now 3D is the revolution. A non sense revolution…

Yea, it’s definitely addicting where as the Wii was fun but the lack of current day, HD graphics and motion accuracey was a major downer for me. The Move perfects what the Wii is and goes even further by advancing the tech with the Eye and even not having to use it ala Eyepet. The Move is, uhh, the move. Heh.

Picked up the Move on Friday. I own a Wii and will probably never touch it again. haha This has everything I bought the Wii for, only much, much better. Motion Controls with Tiger Woods on PS3 was enough of a sell for me, The Disc Golf on Sports champions is really fun, I hope someday somebody puts out a stand alone Disc Golf game with some fantasy courses or something. Imagine trying to play a level on the moon. haha
