Re: Playstation Move controller WOW!!!!

No thank you. I love my Wii, but because of all the movement i'm rarely in the mood to play it. I'll stick with my traditional controller, though I fear this motion stuff is the wave of the future.

That's kinda what i'm afraid of. I hope we don't ever get to the point where you have to jump around waving your controller for every single game. I understand the Wii has been popular but I play games as a way to relax and unwind not to jump around like an idiot.

I don't know if you got the chance too see the GDC 10 presentation of Socom. They made it a point for the guy using the Move to sit very still and play socom. He was using small subtle movements playing a traditional game. Listen to the announcer and watch the guy playing, he's stiff as a board, bordering on stupid looking with his game face.

IMO those vids just show that Move doesn't really add much to the gaming experience at all...some games I don't want to have to sit still in a specific position. Sometimes I play FPS laying down or whatnot...

That was the point of the video, you can play it like a regular controller.

Imagine playing a golf game without a grid and being able to just read the greens with this feature.</EMBED>

Uh, excuse me while I go and change my underwear.

No seriously, that would be the best winter golf simulator ever, without spending 20k.

Not completely. I've owned a wii, and you definitely can't just lay back in your couch with your feet up and still play properly. You almost always at least have to be sitting up and forward just like that guy is.

People forget this all the time. Playstation uses a "CAMERA", the Wii uses I believe 2 sensors to keep track. All you need to do is lay on your back as long as the Camera can see it i.e the glowing sphere on the end it will track it.

Lol, cmon dude, I still think the Move looks awesome, and I do want one, but it's still not the same as just holding a controlling and laying back and relaxing. I'm not knocking it, all I'm saying is I hope they don't ever just go all out motion with these systems. Sometimes I just want to chill and not give a ****.

Re: Playstation Move controller WOW!!!!

The actual tech isn't that great. They're trying to use an existing piece of technology (PS Eye camera) which wasn't created with all the applications they had in mind.

The tech inside the controller is actually really awesome. At least from what I have read, it has all kinds of meters, and tracking hardware. The ability to map objects onto the controller is really cool as well. I think if the tech is implemented well, it could become very popular.

Re: Playstation Move controller WOW!!!!

I'm not impressed at all with move for a couple reasons.

1. The actual tech isn't that great. They're trying to use an existing piece of technology (PS Eye camera) which wasn't created with all the applications they had in mind.

2. The controllers look ridiculous and are very aesthetically unappealing.

3. As an add-on, sales won't be very high and likely won't be integrated into a large % of games.

4. There is a more innovative and marketable competing piece of technology coming out in the same time frame (Natal). Move is largely a copy of the wii hardware, but with HD graphics.

The Tech is 2 in 1, yes you have your Wii stuff and because you have a camera coupled with the glowing sphere you get your NATAL type functions(to a lesser degree) because you are now being tracked in 3D. The Camera is 60hz to 120hz with 4 array mics.

Here's a video of the PS eye doing voice commands and head tracking. The game is Resistance 2. Made for the Physically disabled.

And this video is showing half of his body tracking and other stuff. You get two in one with Move.

That would be the day I stop gaming. I don't think they would ever do that. Hell, I hope not.

Exactly. I'll be getting it as well, just hope all games aren't moving towards extreme motion controls. Sometimes I just want to chill and not have to wave my arms everywhere or worry if I'm facing the screen in the right way.

It would be a great workout for sure.

It would suck to fight someone using a controller instead of Move, but otherwise it'd be pretty cool.

Sadly FN's fanbase seems to want to button mash more than do any sort of stick swinging, so not sure they'd add the Move functionality or not.
