Playstation Move

Well it's actually here and been reviewed by those good people at the reg:

 

Sony PlayStation Move ? reghardware

 

I'll reserve judgment till i've had a play though I do have a feeling like my neglected Wii after the inital shock and awe it'll gather dust until some family friendly entertainment is needed.

I was very tempted to order this; Tescos are selling it for £39 online.

 

I'm just worried I will get bored and it will gather dust like my friends Wii.

 

Its got lots of good reviews so far.

The thing that gets me, and this isn't just aimed at consoles, is that innovation is limited to a single platform. If PSMove succeeds where Kinect fails or vice versa then for anyone who wants this sort of interaction has to jump ship to a new console or wait a few years for the dev cycle to catch up with the victor. Why cant the control systems (and other things) be opened up to work on any console or PC? You can get a 360 controller adapter for your PC, why not a Kinetic adapter for your PS3 or PSMove on your Wii?

anyone had a go on this yet?

 

i bought one, pretty good so far.

 

bit wii like but the motion control is spot on much more accurate than the wii

I've got one (starter pack). Now i want another controller and the sports game. The missus would like start the party. Think it's going to get a good workout come Christmas.

The problem with the wii wasn't the novelty wearing off but rather the sorry state that they called games being released for the machine. Every single title released for the machine at one point were 'party' games. Even this should be taken with a pinch of salt as most of those were so bad you would struggle to include them in any decent party.

 

The 3rd party titles killed the Wii and also the DS. You could blame piracy but hell who would even want to go out and spend £30 on the crap for either of those platforms. Nintendo show the other developers how to create games for their consoles. You don't need awesome graphics (although the Wii does look pretty bad on a 1080P 46" TV) to have a great game. Just a good concept for a great game. Every single Zelda game released has been well worth the money put down for them, even if it isn't in 1080P HiDef graphics.

 

If Sony have a good range of games that take advantage of the motion controls properly then it could be good. killzone 3 is apparently 3D and PS Move compatible? Imagine controlling the jetpacks using the move controller in each hand (if the nun-chuck like device) is motion controlled as well) turning them to change direction.

Anyone got any games for the Move? What would you recommend for xmas or is it worth waiting for better games next year?

I have Sports Champions, great games, Disc Golf and Bocce are completely addictive!

 

Great for kids as well, my 2 year old enjoys sword fighting!
