Excellent read. I love the way you finished off with…
“The PlayStation Move is the paintbrush to the PS3 canvas. The artists and developers ultimately are tasked with creating the masterpieces, not the device itself”
I know certain other websites that won’t say things like that and instead blame the MOVE, if crappy games come out for it *cough…IGN…*cough
I’m really psyched for this. More so Slyder and Motion Fighters, because they look like more engaging games and put MOVE on the map if it does everything it needs to do flawlessly, but this is SONY we’re talking about so you know those games will deliver.
Great article. I’m really looking forward to trying this thing out. I kind of feel like that Slider game would work better with a regular controller though. From what I’ve read here and elsewhere, it sounds like there will be too much waggling going on.
Sev, could you clarify? You said that Sports Champions is like Wii Sports but in “full HD”. Is it really in 1080p or were you just emphasizing the Wii using SD? Thanks
I like using a dualshock3 but more than likely will pick this up. I played the wii but I usually get bored and bowl sitting down. so let’s see if its more thrilling to play
Good article. Glad to see they’re working hard on getting any lag taken out of it. If they can get everything working perfectly, this should be quite a neat little device.
Hopefully we can look forward to some great mature games for it.
Here’s hoping all those Wii titles that showed initiative and promise get a Move remake: MadWorld, No More Heroes 1 & 2. Red Steel 1 / 2, Wii fit…(just kidding). Or just new titles under those franchises would be cool. ATTN all developers: Mature/hardcore oriented wii title = Move game.
Looks like Visa/Master Card will be happy when this releases this fall. Considering that some game-play needs at least 2 Move controllers to play the games and at the rumoured $99 price tag with camera and no information on other SKU packages it would make it cost prohibitive at that price point to have two controllers on release. Especially for those parents that are not working.
Sony needs to at least price the different packages before release far enough out so that those that need to save can do so effectively.
haha, used to play sliders in real life while I was in college… sort of. We couldn’t grind the chair exactly… and really it was a chair with skateboards attached to the bottom – and we called it “death chair”. Can you guess why? I’ll give a hint – you couldn’t steer. Oh wait, thats the reason.
Anyway, I’ve showed this and described it to people who aren’t gaming enthusiasts but have tried the Wii – and they still don’t understand the difference. I think its going to be hard to get those types of gamers in on it until it can actually be in their hands.

“Surprisingly the orb has a rubbery texture; you could squish it and squeeze it in your fingers.”
That does surprise me. From the images, it looked plastic.
Overall, very good read. I cannot wait for the Move!
I have one of those wands (a light wand toy) for my kids and knew it would be “squishy”.
Peace,

That gladiatorial combat demo is giving me nightmares of trying to fend off Demon’s Souls 2 with this motion controller…

Imagine Demon’s Souls with Move
