Playstation Move

Yesterday, Sony took the wraps off the PlayStation Move, which some people will call Sony's next big thing in video gaming, and others will call a shameless Wii Remote rip-off. Here's everything you need to know about it.

WHAT IS IT?

The Move is a motion-sensing peripheral, which in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye Camera (which is already on the market) allows precise motion-controlled video gaming on the PlayStation 3.

The Move can, in some cases, be paired with the "Subcontroller", a nunchuk-like device that sports an analog stick and d-pad, which allows the Move to be used with more "traditional" titles like first-person shooters or role-playing games.

Unlike the Wii Remote, which is powered by regular batteries (or in cases of third-party solutions a rechargeable battery pack), the Move is fuelled by the same lithium ion battery that runs your PlayStation 3's DualShock 3 controller, meaning it'll have plenty of shelf life between recharges. As a bonus, the Subcontroller also has a lithium ion battery.

Both the Move and Subcontroller are wireless, feature rumble and will sync with your PlayStation 3 via Bluetooth. At launch, they will be available in black, and black only.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It uses a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, coloured sphere and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor to pin-point the location of the Move, which allows it to easily track any kind of movement the player makes, whether it be slow or fast, small or sweeping.

The Subcontroller also features a full-fledged motion sensor, just like the Move wand itself, unlike the Wii Remote Nunchuk's gyroscope which is fairly primitive in comparison.

Interestingly, every game we played at GDC required the user to calibrate the Move before playing. It wasn't a big deal, but switching between games quickly it was a bit of a pain.


WHAT GAMES ARE THERE?

Along with an announcement that some "regular" PlayStation 3 titles will support the Move (such as SOCOM 4, EyePet and LittleBigPlanet), Sony unveiled a range of games built specifically for the new controller's motion-sensing capabilities.

These are:

- Motion Fighter
- Move Party
- Sports Champions
- TV Superstars
- The Shoot
- Slider

In total, Sony says that "more than 20" titles will be released featuring PlayStation Move support by the end of fiscal year 2010.


WHO IS SUPPORTING THE MOVE?

Aside from Sony's own internal studios, a total of 36 companies have signed up to develop and publish games for the PlayStation Move. These companies are:

* 505 Games U.S.
* Activision Publishing, Inc.
* AQ INTERACTIVE Inc.
* ARC SYSTEMS WORK CO.,LTD
* ATLUS Co., LTD.
* Bigben Interactive
* CAPCOM CO., LTD.
* CCP
* Crave Entertainment
* CYBERFRONT Corporation
* Disney Interactive Studios
* Electronic Arts Inc.
* FromSoftware, Inc.
* Game Republic, Inc.

* SEGA CORPORATION
* Sony Online Entertainment
* Spike Co., Ltd.
* SQUARE ENIX GROUP
* TECMO, LTD.
* THQ Inc.
* UBISOFT
* Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM THE WII REMOTE?

While the Move looks similar to Nintendo's pioneering 2006 motion controller, there are key differences, like a reduced button count and better motion-sensing. For more on this, read up on Stephen's early impressions of the Move.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The Move will be available in three packages: a standalone Move (for consumers that already own a PlayStation Eye camera), a bundle that includes the Move and PlayStation Eye, and a hardware pack that includes the Move, PlayStation Eye and PlayStation 3 console.

While pricing details for the standalone pack and PS3 bundle are unavailable at this time, the Move + PlayStation Eye option will cost $99.


WHEN IS IT OUT

The PlayStation Move will be released sometime this Fall.

Cool I am really excited about this and hope they make a bunch of shooters for it. I personally liked playing COD WAW on the Wii. Granted it wasn't the best accuracy with the wii mote so hopefully sonys is super accurate. I wonder if the games that come out for this will let you choose which controller you want to use, the new one or the original PS3 controller, or is it going to be just for the new motion controller only?

Sony has made a new section to their US website devoted to Playstation Move, filled with plenty of good info on the device itself, videos, and upcoming games

The 1st 2 are right down the street. Hell, Culver City is just a few blocks away. BBY did a bangup job by having 6 BBY's near each other all accessible by the almighty 405 fwy here :roll:

The search only shows 4 at a time lol.

[MaximusR3]

lol overkill much? best buy overload. at least you never have to worry about something being out of stock because most likely you can just go around the corner to the next one and get it there :lol:

i wouldn't mind a best buy or two nearby though, the nearest one to me is 40 miles away, the second closest being 40 miles in the other direction, so an hour drive no matter which way you go lol

[MaximusR3]

ok here's the latest on Playstation Move:

releases September 19th 2010

single controller costs $49.99 and the Navigation Controller (like a wii nunchuck if you will) costs $29.99

there will be two bundle packs

1 PSeye camera, 1 PS Move controller, and the move sports game costs $99.99


above bundle + PS3 system costs $399.99


they didn't show the nav controller in the bundles so you'll probably have to buy separately

[David_3033]

Is anyone else going to be getting this or just me? :roll:

[MaximusR3]

i know Smoke was interested, and i already have the camera so i might as well


TLOG says he'll be going with Kinect because he refuses to "wave around two dildos" :lol:

[David_3033]

I just don't see how you would play shooter games without two dildos? :lol:

[MaximusR3]

some games scheduled for PS Move:

Heroes on the Move

it's official

if Steven Spielberg can wave dildos around then you can too :D

[smoke]

I'm really looking forward to waving my dildo's around! :o :lol:

[River_Rat_459]

If there's some way the could adapt a cigarette holder on those controllers, I might go for it. Ah, who am I kidding, I'll be getting it anyway.

After watching the Sports Champions clip, I think a good adaptation for Move controller would be Assassin's Creed. Being able to employ all of those weapons using those controllers might make the game a bit more appealing.

[ASignorelli]

Soooooo what's the word? I hear PS3 is gonna rival the Wii, and the Wii is gonna take a huge dump... If you got stock in Nintendo I'd say sell before the PS Move comes onto the market... not to mention the 360 Kinect! I already sold my Wii and all it's games for the sole purpose of getting the move in the near future. someone post some cool vid of this ting. I'm really looking forward to that gladiator game.

[Lorimere]

So far I hear great things from some guys overseas who have it.
precision is great unlikely the wii.

Wii is more kid oriented it seems. When I had one there were hardly any games that I could find for it that I actually wanted to play.

[WrenchSlinger]

Do you think you will have a advantage using the Move over a normal controller in a FPS? I heard them talking about having different rooms on Killzone 3 for Move users.

What about position of the camera? The camera I have doesn't have a long enough lead to sit below the tv? My tv is on the wall and the PS3 is in the corner of the room. :?

My Daughter has that stupid Eye Pet game and it's pretty useless when you have to wave the card around in front of the eye to operate the game.

Sorcery looks AWESOME! When does all this stuff come out anyways?

[Lorimere]

Release is 9-17 I believe.

I'm getting this. anyone else?

[squidfamily1]

nope

[ASignorelli]

I sold all my Wii crap so I can get 2 sets of move. LOL

[Ironhide400]

Thats a good point! The only thing the Wii gets used for in my house anymore is Wii Fit. Maybe they will get a MOVE version so I can get rid of my dust collector?

[River_Rat_459]

I'm getting this. anyone else?

You get it, and then tell the rest of us if it's worth it.

[ASignorelli]

Roger wilco. I'd say the PS3 is defiantly gonna come out with something better than the fit, since sony is more high tech. I don't know for sure if it's worth buying it at the early stages, but from what I've seen, it has the best potential out there right now, so I'm gonna get it so I can get used to it, and I wanna play that gladiator game, as well as the fighting game, and of course that new sorcerer game... If your short on money, I'd say wait till more titles come out, but If you got a Wii, it's time to trade that thing in, and make some money / room for the MOVE!

[Lorimere]

I plan on picking one up. Just not sure when. Got some decent reviews. Interested to see how it plays some fps games. Mag and socom could be pretty fun with it.

i forget what it was called but at E3 they showed a fitness game that i believe is planned for all systems even though they were using it on Kinect for the demo. I think EA is publishing it?

[jxspyder]

EA Sports Active 2. I'll probably buy it for the Kinect. At least, that's what my wife is telling me so far.

[ASignorelli]

PS3 MOVE! PS3 MOVE! 3 more glorious days! This is gonna put a hamper on my homework for a while LOL.

I am still debating on getting it this week or not. Just nothing out for it yet. Daughter loves Mario too much to get rid of the wii.

[RedCon-ONE]

I'm picking up the PS3 Move Bundle on Friday. My PS3 crapped out on me a week after Red Dead Redemption came out so I only got to play the game for a few days and before it died. Believe me, I'm gonna be on the damn thing all day Friday. :lol:

As far as the Move goes. I got to finally try it out at PAX a couple weeks ago. I thought it worked better than the Wii but I was a little disappointed in the shooter that they had set up. It just didn't feel right and the pistol accessory kinda made the dildo look even more dumb. I was hoping they would have it set up for Socom 4 but unfortunately they only had Socom running with the regular controller (which was pretty cool but that's for an different thread.)

Still I'll put in my two cents in with everyone else's review on Friday after I mess around with it. :D

[RookieHunter]

I have got my move.....YAY..... unfortunately haven't opened the box yet........Do you wanna know why....HALO:REACH of course....I will post later after i try tiger Woods out

[Lorimere]

Finally opened mine and set it up today. Easy to set up and get going.
You can tell right away it is more precise than the wii.

Didn't play much since I had to come to work, but tried a few games out on sports champions.

Archery with 2 controls is cool. But for some reason it notches the arrow on the left side of the bow. And yes I am choosing right handed.

The gladiator game is a lot of fun also. My favorite thus far.

Frisbee golf and ping pong are hard as hell.

Haven't tried the other two.

Bought eye pet move for my daughter. She was having a lot of fun with it when I left.

I might rent Tiger Woods this week, but heard it sucks with move. They say support was added just to say it was there, but didn't test to see if it worked right.


Limited time, and not much game support yet. But I have to give the technology two thumbs up.

[MARDIGRA21]

Got mine, I have to say it's far more advanced than the wii can't wait for some more games to come out

My current camera lead isn't long enough as tv is on the wall. How long is the lead?

It can be under the tv for on top make sure you have at least eight feet of space from the tv. The cord is pretty Long I'll say about 4 ft long. But I know there are USB extensions out on the market you can try that

[ASignorelli]

MOVE is Simply awesome! Had it since the release date, and now my arm is thrown out from all the gamin I been doing. If you don't got about $300 to spare, then wait it out for more games to showcase. I got 2 of everything including chargers plus the PS3 Eye and a game for $290. I will add again, that the Move is PHENOMENAL!

[airborne509]

I have the ps3 move who else has picked it up?

[ASignorelli]

I got it. it's freaking awesome.

Well if its a gun where you actually point at the screen using it. It could be pretty cool, otherwise it will be a waste. Someone go get one and let me know how it is LOL.

[MaximusR3]

since it inserts the move controller into it then i would assume it utilizes it so you point where you shoot and the analog stick in the back would be used to move your character around. Hopefully a video will pop up soon enough and we'll see how it looks
