Mario Galaxy wasn't available for the Wii launch so using it as an example of Wii's triple AAA lineup at time of launch and comparing it with the moves seeming lack thereof is abit disingenuous, the Wii granted did have Zelda(a gamecube port) and metroid but the rest of the lineup was pretty lightweight, with that in mind and taking into account the move enabled Res5 and Heavy Rain there is not as much in it as you claim .

Yeah launch isn't the best time to make a decision, I agree, but there isn't much of note on the horizon either tbh - Child of Eden is the only 'do want!' game for me. A few good games I've already played now adding Move support isn't an incentive for me to play through again either! Just going on the strengths of the announced software, Kinect - which, I should point out, I'm still fairly cynical about too! - is looking like it's going to be more ambitious software wise!

Some good deals here:

I presume that if you have the standard version of RES 5, you can download a free patch for Move or do you need to buy new version or pay for the patch?

It's got to be the gold version, then the patch is free. I picked up the God version for about £12 online (Simply Games I think, or Zavvi maybe).

Having the game marked 'Gold Edition' (wheter it says Move Compatible or not on it) is the only way to play RE5 with Move sadly.

Bought Flight Control. It really is an addictive game.

So far have played:
Tumble*
Sports Champions
EyePet*
Flight Control
Echochrome ii*

and I have enjoyed them all.

* is demo

Am sure after playing Archery and Gladiator Duel on Sports Champions for an hour..

.. I'm sweating like an bastard!

Just working through the Bronze Cup on both. Got all but 3 stars on Gladiator Duel, but could only get 2 stars on the final boss - so 32 / 33 there. And got 3 stars so far on Archery except for the irritating challenge with the Skeletons... the trick is to hit their head but I'm just not quick enough!

The bronze on Gladiator Duel is pretty easy to get.. it's the same pattern for each person (except the final boss is a bit smarter) - go in with a Shield Bump and then swipe hard left and right. If you hit them once, keep swinging left and right and you'll get a good amount of power of them and they'll be stunned / on-the-ground. Do a Jump Attack (sometimes 2 if they're on the ground long enough) and continue swinging from left to right as hard as possible. You'll get close to perfect or knock them out of the ring each time.

Grayditch

It's a great work out.

Can you do that side jump thing that the computer players do, where they jump up at angle and swing in at you?

positron

The Gladiator Duel is really makes you move around a bit - mostly with the game, but at times with frustration too - I can swipe and slash with the sword from the right, but I just can't get swipes or swings from the left side to work (I am right handed and using two move controllers). I have only played it some 15 mins, so may be there's something I am not doing right. It's fun so far. I think it would be good fun with two players - I tried table tennis with the other half, and it really works, once you clear up some space in front of the telly.

Gave move a spin in the Hub today, not impressed really. Involved a lot of flailing around, the worst of the Wii in short.

What games did you play? My experience with the Move is the exact opposite, games like Tumble and Echochrome ii have you performing very delicate and subtle movements so if you were flailing around you wouldn't get very far. I think the only game that involves flailing is Kung Fu Rider but I haven't played that.

I played Heavy Rain with the Move patch for a while last night. Once I got used to it I really enjoyed it. It seems more natural, especially parts where you have to shake things, that always felt a bit awkward for me with the Dualshock. It's so cool the way it lights up red when you're performing an action and then turns blue as you complete is correctly. A nice touch I thought.

Time Crisis and the Gladiator Duel, not impressed with either really. Haven't written it off at all but it went a way to confirm my fears that its a bit of a Wii HD. Would like to try some other games like Flight Control in more comfortable environment but regardless Move isn't on my list. I don't want to leap around the sitting room, I'm quite happy with my Dualshock thanks.

GothPunk

They have Time Crisis Razing Storm at the PS Hub? I think I need to pay them as visit so (as if Killzone 3 and LittleBigPlanet 2 wasn't reason enough). I thought that would have been just point and shoot? I have played The Shoot demo though, which I really enjoyed (so accurate!), but the spinning around on the spot is something I can do without. Apparently swirling the controller above your head like a lasso has the same effect though but compared to how you activate the other power ups it's a little OTT.

I think that the Gladiator part of Sports Champions is the most gesture based of all the games in that, so I wouldn't be so quick to write it off. Then again I'm probably of the mind that Wii HD ain't such a bad thing. :pac:

I've given up on trying to use Tiger Woods 11 and Move. It doesn't recognise the controller all (at first). You need to start it up with a normal DS controller and then activate the Move. So far, I have been unable to activate the Move with my own golfers. I am left handed, so either I can play with the Move using Tiger as a golfer (but he is right handed) or I can play as a set up left handed golfer with the DS controller only. Glad I only rented the game.

Im on the same boat for resident evil 5 gold edition.. The move controls are just to freaking awkward and it is more enjoyable using the DS.. I can see myself never using move for shooting games apart from The Shoot which i thinks awesome now..

Same. I abandoned RE5 on the Move and resorted to using the DS as well. Shooting with it, especially when it came to the stage with the executioner, was too hard.

Grayditch

That's a shame to read. I just picked up RE5 Gold yesterday but haven't had a chance to try it with the move. I think I already know how it will feel.

Lucious Sweet

I loved RE4 on the Wii and was so looking forward to playing RE5 with the move. But after about an hour I gave up. Like others said I found the controls to be so awkward and you only have 2 control configuration options. Neither of which are ideal. I'm sure developers will in the future will include more user friendly options for the move but I'm afraid they have messed it up with RE5 IMHO.
I have moved on to playing Heavy Rain with the move and that is just so much better.

jaykhunter

how is playing Heavy Rain with the move? I found the controller horrific...how do they map it?

Varik

Not sure this is a problem in dark and cloudy Ireland but the Move may not work under bright natural light (it's been show to work under very bright artificial light), also will not work under water(that may affect Ireland).

Brian017

This has probably been asked before, but is the Navigation controller essential?

Tallon

For some games, Yes

Picked it up last week and only gave it a go today for the first time,controls are terribly awkward with the move

No it's not, you can use the dualshock controller and just hold it in your left hand. It's slightly more awkward but perfectly fine.

But the nav controller is 30 euro more.

Playstation Store. Not sure what brick and mortar shop would have it though.

Hi folks,

Have 2 young kids 6+7, thinking of adding the Move set up to the PS3 for Christmas rather than buying a Wii.
What's the essential kit needed?
Eye camera
2 x Move controllers
Kid friendly games (tumble, start the party, any others?)
Anything else to maximise the experience?

Thanks in advance

Sports Champions - probably the best title out there that uses the Move controller fully at the moment.

Definitely get EyePet, they will love it.

@ positron: Sports champions might be a bit much for a 6 & 7 year old no ?

Basq

Christ.. that Eyepet trailer is misleading.

The camera with it is fuzzy as frig!

Grayditch

I turned the demo of that off after a few minutes. Even for a kids thing, it looked useless.

Seriously, get them the Wii, better back-catalogue of games for 6/7 year olds.
Plus, keeps them away from your PS3.

That eyepet thing...no, just no.

Eye pet is a weird one you would have to be a kid (and not a big kid) to get a kick out of it but at the same time it is a bit complicated for a young kid. But its only 30 euro so its a maybe id keep an eye on the internet sites Zavvi or one of those may have it for closer to 20.

Start the party is a defo for the kids loads of simple fun games.

If you dont mind the kids playing your PS3 all you need is the camera and one Move to get you started a lot of games take turns with the one controller. But if you can stretch to it 2 would be good.

PTH2009

may sound like a stupied question but can the move navigation controller be used as a second move contoller (the one with the ball on top) or is the navigation control a different thing all together

nope it only acts as half a DS basically with no motion sensos at all.. only the move controller (with the ball) will work..you can use nav though for movement etc.

The EU PlayStation website lists it's release as Oct-Dec 2010. There are a few games that were supposed to be available at launch that got delayed, Time Crisis as an example.

I went up to that Playstation Hub there last week to try out the Move and I wasn't that impressed to be honest.

I played volleyball and table tennis with one of the assistants and while very new and exciting at first - it soon wore off and all I was left with was feeling kinda like an idiot playing a sub-standard game. It certainly wouldnt keep me hooked for any long period of time.

Had a go at time crisis which I liked years and years ago but didn't find the controller as responsive as I had thought. I'm sure that better games will come out as developers get used to the hardware but I still think this contraption is going to be a passing fad - the old fashioned controller still rules supreme with me.

I don't about volleyball, but I've been playing tabletennis for a week now trying to get thru broze/silver/gold cups - it's keeping me well amused. Also good fun to play with someone else.

I wonder if there would be a online multi-player version of SportsChampions, now that would be even more cool!

Great price for the Gun accessory!

Grumpypants

RUSE has got to be the best use of the Move yet the zooming in and out and spinning 360 degrees is so easy Really enjoying it but my god does it steal you time from you. I sat down last night at 8 next thing i know it was ten to 4 in the morning and i had to force myself to turn it off and go to bed.

Bought the gun accessory today (not from there, from Gamestop). Bought it for Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition.

Completely pointless. The trigger is used for aiming while the Move button is to shoot, which means you can't even hold the controller like a gun. And the only two controller settings can't swap them. I just hope this doesn't happen in other games

I'd imagine this will only be good for light gun style shooters. Not third person as you need the buttons on the face as well.

grimm2005

Went into the playstation hub last friday with an open mind and came out really dissapointed. there dosn't appear to be anything "new" or "exciting" about this, it's pretty much the same as the wii except several years too late. All the games on display were pretty poor. The one with the japanese guy on the chair was embarassingly bad and there was no fun element whatsoever. Even time crisis, which I love just lost all of it's fun factor without the light gun.
I for one won't be buying this.

The lineup for kinect dosn't look much better but i'll keep an open mind until I can try it first hand.
