HOly Cow the Move is awesome

[micrometers]

I think the PS3 was probably the 3rd platform for Skyrim so they didn't really care. I mean, even the PC version has stuff that they could have done to improve it pretty easily but they didn't.

Razer has some motion controller that seems to operate somewhat similarly to the Move/Wiimote, but is supposed to be even better. I'd like to try it.

I personally don't like mouse and keyboard, even for shooters/FPS games. The main reason being is that the keyboard is not ergonomic and you lose analog movement. Then, combine that with the precision of a mouse and it actually reduces my immersion. I was pretty interested in the Move with FPSes, but it seems to be let down by a mix of technical limitations (game framerates, resolution issues) and other problems like the aforementioned movement choices.

Up the precision/resolution/tracking ability, and up the game framerates, and I think a movement/lightgun setup would be the most immersive FPS experience.

I do think it excels with close combat based gameplay, but still isn't perfect there either.

I do think that this is definitely one area where extra computational power in next-gen consoles would be put to good use. Like, with extra computational power you could probably run more complex algorithms to better predict movement and do it in real time. There still is a slight computational lag in move games.

I do agree on FPS games. I'm especially getting tired of the little aiming cursor, which makes it seem more about bashing the mole when he pops up one of cover.

I was thinking that it would be really cool to have a dual wield sword warrior using two moves. but how would you figure out movement? I think maybe something like hold a trigger to enable free look and another trigger enables movement? and by default have you free swinging?

Not all medieval games are like that. You should try Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, or The Witcher 2.

or Skyrim with a mouse...

I did try the move with Resistance 3.

Not so great. The game wants you to move the cursor to the edge of the screen in order to turn.

If they had made it more akin to a mouse, better.

How would you make the Move more akin to a mouse? With the light gun type of controller it is, there's not much of a better way to do it. The only other way I could think of is similar to Metroid Prime where you'd turn with the stick by default and hold the trigger and move to strafe. Doesn't work with most modern shooters though as they all have a "look down the sights" button.

The fight is really a good workout game. You will drip with sweat as you are kicking some butt. I put many hours into it, one of my favorite motion based games.

The same devs released a Move fitness game, but it is not out in NA yet.

I heard good things about The Fight. I've been waiting for it to drop in price but it's stayed at $40 at any store I've seen it in.

I just ordered the fight for about $15 from a 3rd party on amazon.

I dunno. the way the move works with REsistance 3 is that you use the left thumbstuck of the dual shock 3 to move around and then the Move acts like the aimer.

Maybe if there were a button you pressed to lock the Move into "mouse look" mode.

But it's with a mouse. Not as cool as swinging

19 demos for unreleased games? How many are not dance and exercise games?

13

 

[Todd33]

13

I'd be interested in the list, I didn't know there were many games in development. Why do they have playable demos for unreleased games, the holiday season is over, so these are nineteen 2012 games?

I found this:

But I hardly see any new games on it.

I agree. This game is great, I just picked it up this past weekend and its been a load of fun. And I am getting a pretty mean work out from playing this game also.

I bought it when it was $15 at BBV, it's now $10. Use shopping.google.com to see if one is nearby. You can also see what online stores have it for around $20 for new. Even gohastings has it used for like $12.50 before shipping/tax.

IMO the best game genre for Move is "rails shooters". Rails shooters are games that you don't actively move your player in; you automatically walk from one place to another so that you can focus all your "move" efforts on aiming your gun and killing the bad guys. They have a SUPER arcade feel to them and are tons of fun to play! A great rail shooter I really enjoyed was Dead Space Extraction. Also, Sports Champions works really well with the Move

I tried Killzone 3 with the move controller and it was an extremely confusing experience trying to walk around, aim and shoot accurately all with the flick of a wrist. I think this is why a lot of games don't support using the move: the controls just don't jive all that well

seeing as how this thread is about bashing a very good product that has excellent software..

the Wii controller is a great device..and there are lots of great games for it.

It doesn't matter how good the Move controller is, it's not a good product of there's no software for it.

Have you ever played Red Steel 2? It's supposed to be one of the best wii motion plus games.

And about 1 in 4 sword swings aren't picked up b/c the controller is still so bad.

yea, I got mine from BB. It was supposed to be a pre-owned copy for 17.99. But when I picked it up it was brand spanking new with the original wrapping. Score.

BTW, Been playing this game for the past 2 days. 2 hrs on the first day, and about 1 yesterday. My muscles are so sore right now, it even hurts when I cough...I like it.
