The Move controller sure is ugly.

Bocce!??!? Why not Lawn bowls, at the very least. Something altogether different would be much preferable.

But, this is irrelevant since playstation move is going to fail. Why? Because Sony are releasing this to try and steal back the casual market from Nintendo, and the Wii is so much cheaper that there's no way the casual market will switch over to PS3.

^ yeah but when wii2 gets released, people will have to buy a new console

When this will probably have all the same stuff

+ it isnt that much cheaper

Are you able to compare the controls to the Wii Sports games by any chance?

I don't think anyone thought the Move would be a backwards step in the PS3's evolution, we were more concerned if it would be backwards, or would it improve on the accuracy of the Wii motion controls.

Cheers

Is the Playstation Move only one colour or can you make it emit different colours by changing a setting?


Either way I want a purple one ^^

[Crank]

From what I understand, the colour changes to help the PS3 track the ball. In other words, to contrast it enough against the background so the camera can see it clearly. So it will change colour depending on the colour of the room it is used in, lighting conditions etc.

Sounds good so far, I was surprised to read about the need to reach for an arrow in the Archery, seems somewhat sophisticated. I'm definitely keeping an eye on the Move, it might just turn out to be great new direction for the PS3.

i really cant wait for it, basically just for the sports games, golf etc.
loved them on wii, but was disapointed with the sometimes slow reactions on the screen to my control, wii motion plus didnt really improve it enough for me, but by the sounds of this it will be better (hopefully)
also a little interested in the shooting games with the controller (only interested at the moment though, not desperate for it)

I'm interested in the 'not highly detailed' comment, as those screenshots look exceptional. Is it just because we don't have a blown-up version to compare with?

Otherwise, I couldn't imagine much more detail than sunlight streaming through the canopy of the trees in the second screenshot or the great looking scoreboard and ground surface of the first screenshot.

Will be interesting to see how this all plays out wrt sales and success.

I look at Move in a similar way I look at my driving wheel. There are a few games where the driving wheel makes the experience and I don't want to play with a standard controller. But there are lots of games, including driving games, that I don't want to play with the wheel. I feel it will be the same with Move.

[Cody Giunta]

^^I meant highly detailed in terms of other games that are already out there which have a greater emphasis on visuals than Sports Champions (Uncharted 2, Bioshock 2 etc.)

As for the glowing lights, I wasn't able to tell whether or not the colours had anything to do with distance or ball tracking as all of the controllers I observed being used had different colours lit up yet were all in teh same room.

I'm quite looking forward to this though I'll be waiting to see how the first few months play out before I decide to jump in or not. If dev support is poor and all we see are upscaled wii clones I'll have to pass but I think (and hope) something worthwhile can be born from this. Motion control definatly isn't the future for all games (along the lines of what bowie said) but it can be really fun for the right type of game.

Nice one cody.

The support is looking pretty good so far, with quite a few new games being released that will support it, as well as some big existing titles getting patches to work with it. Games such as Flower, Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet and Resident Evil 5 will all be getting patches, so Sony are certainly trying to get as much support as they can.
