PlayStation Move - Launching September 19, 2010 (US)

[quote name='J7.']You make it sound like Sony copied the wiimote and MS copied the eyetoy. Had Nintendo never come up with the wiimote I would not be surprised if it was Sony who came up with Kinect.[/QUOTE]

They didn't copy them, they just merged the tech that MS and Nintendo ultimately used.
 
[quote name='jh6269']Ars Technica has a really good review about PS Move.

And this one:

That second article is dead wrong. Kinect not having buttons is a good point but Move is NOT cheaper and the launch lineup is just as "casual" and "kiddie" as Kinect.

Sony and Microsoft are both going after the casual market here and until they unveil a "killer app" for hardcore gamers, I doubt I will buy another system with motion controls. The Wii I already have does that just fine.

The launch line-up may be casual but at least there are more core gamer type games announced for Move. With Killzone 3, SOCOM 4, LBP, and now Infamous 2 getting Move support, Sony is at least giving Move a chance with the more hardcore gamer. Hopefully Sorcery turns out decent as well but that's a little more unproven.

MS still has nothing announced or even rumored that shows they are doing the same. I was interested in how Kinect would work with Fable 3 but it seems even that is out now.

I do wish the move bundle included a Navigator though. I know I don't need once since I already have so many DS3's laying around, but still doesn't stop me from wanting one.
 
So we need 4 primary controls to have Vs gladiator fights? :(

How do these impact the systems blutooth connections? I was under the impression that only 7 controlls could be tethered to a system at once. Is a Move/Navigation control 2 items?

I'm just thinking right now, I have 2 DS3, a headset, and a blutooth remote. That's 4 items, Can I link 2 complete Move controllers, or 4 single moves to my system without it exploding?
 
I'm really interested in the Move, but I'm not going to buy one until there are actually games out that I want to play.

I'm getting the Kinect day one though, Dance Central looks like a lot of fun and something I can get into. I do have more faith in the Move hardware, but we just need some gaaaaaaaamez.

It's funny that you say that- because I'm less excited about the new games, and more excited to pick up MAG, or try out some of my old games with the new controller.

Yeah, I'm interested in picking it up to use with the existing games (Flower, High Velocity Bowling, Heavy Rain, Planet Minigolf, eventually MAG, and others) I have that I can play without needing to buy new games right away.

[/QUOTE]

The second article is not dead wrong, it requires a little perspective. For 1 person to play 1 game on Kinnect, the price is $150. For 1 person to play 1 game on the Move, it's $100. For 2 people to play on Kinnect, it's $150. For 2 people to play on Move, it's $150 ($99.99 bundle + one extra move controller at $49.99). Kinnect can't track 4 players actively (so I've read), and the price goes up from there with Move, so you can't really compare 1:1 after the 2 initial players.

Also, if you already have the PS Eye, you can buy 2 Move controllers for $100, and still have money left over to buy a Nav controller if you wish.

So yeah, it depends on your situation, but the heading of that portion of the article should probably have been: "It may be cheaper."

I too will definitely be waiting, but as others have pointed out as well, there are a ton of non-casual titles that are going to incorporate Move controls (i.e., Time Crisis Razing Storm, Killzone 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, SOCOM 4, Echochrome 2, Resident Evil 5, and Heavy Rain).

Unfortunately, I believe that is true. You can only have 7 active Bluetooth devices paired with the PS3. So you can't have 4 Move controllers and 4 nav controllers at once (or any combination that comes up to 8 devices). But will you be using all of those DS3 and Move controllers at one time? I would suspect that if you're playing party games, you'd only need to have 4 Motion controllers and that's about it...
 
You can use the PSEye camera as your mic, it has a 4-mic array on it. Its what i use, works great. Other peoples chatter goes to the tv.

Also, its 7 items at the same time. No clue why you'd need all those devices working at the same time. You can pair an unlimited number of bluetooth devices to the system, but no more then 7 can be active all at once.

Ahh- that makes more sense. I thought it was 7 pairings, not 7 active pairings.

You can use the eye as your mic? That's pretty awesome! (I hate blutooth headsets.)

...I wonder if you can use the Kinect as your mic too...

Yes you can, I believe it also has a 4-mic array.
 
Yea- you can use it-- but it always results in my wife walking in the room and asking me if i'm talking to her- and then having to say "hello" to my friends, then me having to explain to them that they can't see her.
 
What?! I was just reading the Move FAQ on the PS blog, and it said that the Navigation controller lacks both vibration, and motion controls.

I thought those were already confirmed. The nunchuk for the wii is only $20, and it at least has limited motion control functionality. Going to be rethinking my purchasing strategy here.
 
im not into all this mc crap but i hope they can pull it off proper and wont just pull a wii for ps3 move. the sorcery game shwed promise but it seems its all too easy for devs to slap on half assed mc in a game and sell it. sony really needs to go above and wih this shit so people see it and want it.
 
want to get the snow cone because once October hits all the light gun games are coming out which is what I am looking forward to the most especially time crisis. For some reason I really like this gun too and it has a good price tag.

I love to see that guy making fun of the Wii controllers. However, this gun and the whole 'Move' controller set just looks like utter crap when it comes to aesthetics.
Somebody dare tell me that this looks better than the original guncon or even an imported (black) guncon 2. Yes, I know the technology changes, but this is one change that prompted an ugly set of controllers.

looks like that chicks gun in space channel 5.
 
Wow, I haven't seen that Move accessory before. Remember when PS3/360 fanboys made fun of the Wii for all its useless accessories? Yeahhhhhhhh.
 
Here's a pretty informative FAQ on Sony's blog:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/07/playstation-move-the-ultimate-faq/

One really cool thing, that kind of shocked me when I read it, is that the LED in the move controller has full 24 bit colors, so it can change to over a million different hues.

It is capable of displaying more than one million hues, enabling it to make fine adjustments in a wide variety of playing environments.
Click to expand...
I was under the impression that it could only show like 6 colors max.

That's actually pretty awesome, I imagine a developer could do something really cool with that besides allowing players to highly customize the color of their lights.

Something as simple as the ball changing colors to match the color you touch on your palette in some kind of painting PSN mini or mini-game.
Or the ball shifting between shades of red, orange, and yellow if the sword you are hacking with is set on fire.

Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe for something like Demon's souls when you hit that
 
Haven't really looked into the Playstation Move much, but I am thinking of getting it for my parents (since they want a blu-ray player for their netflix need).

So are there any wii sports type games coming for the PS Move?

YES, I think its called "Sports Champions". It is included in the MOVE BUNDLE :D
 
Been looking at the PS Move.

When buying the full amount of controllers (4 move and 4 nav) this thing becomes the price of another ps3.

Im guessing thats what Sony and MS are banking on. Instead of a new console, get the people to buy more for their current console.

Either way it looks cool enough for my parents.

You dont need any nav controllers, you can use a dual shock instead, and there are 0 games which use 2 nav's anyway.

Yeah, that's one of the definitive things about this gen are the damned peripherals that are required. I think in the N64 and GCN days, I bought like 2 - 3 extra controllers so I could have 4 total. Now, with this gen, they keep coming out with more and more stuff you have to buy.

I'm hoping that some of this crap can be used with the next iteration (but I doubt it).

Oh they will definitely make you buy new ones that do the same thing but slightly different. They are a business after all.

Now what are the chances of seeing Okami all polished up for a ps3 release? I'd prefer to have it Move and regular controller compatible so you can switch between the two.

That looked horrible! But she was kind of just flinging her arms around. Maybe you actually have to aim and use controlled moves more than what the video showed?

Unless you're OCD about making sure everybody has a controller, I don't think you'll need four of each. At least not at launch.

I'll take the same approach as I did for the Wii if I get the Move, which was to get one set and get more as I need it. Saves me a ton of money by spreading it out over time if I even end up having a full set. I only have three Wii Remotes and two Nunchucks, so I saved at least $80+ by not filling out my Wii collection when I didn't need it.
 
There isnt a single good website listing exactly what is coming out at launch. Everything is vague a no exacts, not even sonys website. What exactly is due out for launch?

I edited the OP this morning. There is a list up showing most of the launch titles and updates. Lost the link I found at sorry.

I had links to Amazon for each but I removed as I wasn't sure if it was allowed.

I never said it wasn't.

And that's fucking awesome.
 
I knda now want to purchase the Move but I dont understand why Sony did not include the seperate joystick thing. I know I could use a dual shock but its just wouldnt be the same imo.
 
I don't see Move doing very well. Yeah there will be some people who get it day one but after a few days of playing I think it will just collect dust. It's just a step up from the Wii.
Nothing groundbreaking so why bother?
 
There will be 11 demos on the Demo Disk that comes with the Sports Champions Bundle and the 320gb Console Bundle.

Beat Sketcher
echochrome ii
EyePet
Kung Fu Rider
Sports Champions
Start the Party!
The Shoot
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11
Time Crisis: Razing Storm
Tumble
TV Superstars

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010...station-move-demo-disc-11-game-demos-exposed/

...I kinda wish they would have included a Demo for Resident Evil 5: Gold, but it's still a pretty impressive demo disk.
 
Does anyone know if the PsEye will still work if I use a USB extension cable? I seem to recall that it doesn't (or at least the lights don't turn on). I've got my TV mounted to the wall, and the cables run in to the wall, down to the floor, and back up to my entertainment center. I think the cable may be a little short.

I know i could put it on the TV stand, but I'd rather mount it over the TV.
