PlayStation Move

Tucking Fypo · 21-01-2011 9:51am

Hello,

I only found out about the Move this week. I've been hankering after a Wii for so long, so this is a little bit exciting.

I have a bit of spare cash this week, and I see Smyths are doing the starter bundle for just short of 55euro, not bad!

I notice on the demo videos that they all have two controllers (stick with the coloured ball on top). Will I need this?

My reasons for getting it would be exercise, and I noticed the Zumba game isn't out until next month.:( Is there anything similar to the Wii Fit kind of things on the PS Move? The starter bundle appears to have some demo games with it, do you think this would be good enough to do me until next month?

Thanks:)

Starter pack includes the camera and one stick with the coloured ball on it, some games require 2 of them but are also playable with just one (just not as good)

They have a number of fitness games better than Wii fit EA, Ubisoft and THQ have fitness games.

Thanks a million Grumpypants.

If you have an XBOX I would go for the Kinnect as it would be better for fitness and dance games but saying that , I have not tried any on the Move so my

Don't have the Xbox 360. I was given the old one, but that probably doesn't work with the Kinnect?

Good News! Kinect is compatible with every 360. The only difference is Kinect will need to use the plug it comes with. (New Xboxes can power Kinect itself and have a specific port for it)

I'd personally wait until there's a few must-have games for Kinect and Move before buying them (as my Wii still gathers dust) but as long as you'll get use out of 'em and have the cash

I agree. I have bought the move and I hardly ever use it. Bring on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with move support. Now that would be cool.

Tucking Fypo · 21-01-2011 8:18pm

It's the old Xbox I have, not the 360. Will that work with the Kinnect?:eek:

I checked out our local Smyths online and they appear to only have 1 yes one game in stock and it looks crap. I might wait until next month to get something.

It's a pity there is nowhere to rent a Wii, just to see if I'd actually use it. I remember years ago Xtra Vision used to let you rent out the Nintendo consoles. T'was cool.:D

Kinect is 360 only.

Now this is a PS Move Thread, so enough talk about Kinect, i'm sure it's got it's own thread.

Tucking Fypo · 21-01-2011 9:37pm

Sorry 'bout that, thanks anyway.:)

Grumpypants · 22-01-2011 12:58am

Modern Combat has a free trial for plus members just downloading it now

Grumpypants · 24-01-2011 11:37pm

This is not too bad you do have to mess with the setting to reduce the wobble and it needs a lot of re configuring of the Move but as a starter and for a game that cheap its quite impressive.

Beefy78 · 03-02-2011 12:08pm

I picked up the Move at the weekend and hooked it up for the first time last night. Had a few rounds on Planet Minigolf and was astounded to find that I'm even worse at virtual crazy golf than I am at real life mini golf.

So I think I'm going to pick up a couple more games at the weekend. Any recommendations? I'm thinking the Sports game and maybe Heavy rain??

notahappycamper · 03-02-2011 12:25pm

So, is the PS Move worth buying for the PS3?

Tallon · 03-02-2011 12:27pm

yes

WolfForager · 03-02-2011 12:27pm

I might buy it when KZ3 is released, move controls in it are getting great previews. Have to keep an eye on the funds though.

mystic86 · 03-02-2011 12:28pm

beefy78: perfect, those two are the best two i have played on it - go for it

Tumble on the PSN is pretty good. Try out the demo. Not too sure if it's worth €10 but it's deffo worth some of your money. Maybe wait until it drops in price. It's just like the demo, more of the same.

mystic86 · 03-02-2011 1:05pm

its amazing how accurate the controls are in tumble but my opinion is that this game is not for everyone - be sure and try the demo!

notahappycamper · 03-02-2011 1:27pm

What's the best TVclip/stand to attach the Eye Camera to your TV?

The actual PS Eye itself

Although. It doesn't actually work this way with my TV.

Varik · 03-02-2011 7:26pm

MOVE Controls on Elite difficulty meaning no assists, made up my mind am definitely getting Move.

nothing posted on here in month....

I played Playstation Move Heroes Demo a while back - I wasn't impressed. It's for children. Very silly stuff. Also the demo didn't support the nav controller, had to use dualshock.

I played Top Spin 4 demo tonight which is move enabled - again I wasn't impressed that much, but maybe I need to give it more time as other feedback I've read online seems to be very positive. When I swing left and right it wasn't hitting the ball very far to each side of the court on the opponents half - landing far to near the player in the middle and not close enough to the sidelines for my liking. That was frustrating. I went through the tutorial of how to play with the move, then when I went to play a game the loading screen was images of the button controls and that was showing some extra moves you can do when you press the move button - but this wasn't featured in the tutorial at all - how stupid is that. So maybe I need to learn more moves to make a final call on this game.

Anybody played Killzone 3 with the move yet? Feedback???

I have played it once through with the dualshock controller, giving it a little time before I play through it again, this time with the move controller.

tok9 · 03-03-2011 2:23am

Does anyone know of any good move deals at the moment? Just after getting KZ3 and wondering if it's worth it..

Beefy78 · 03-03-2011 10:42am

I'm quite surprised/disappointed by the cost of the gun for KZ3. I saw it for £40 so I can only imagine how much that will be in Euro. It's only a piece of plastic.

About the same price as guitar ehro when it came out

Beefy78 · 03-03-2011 11:02am

Yeah but the guitar actually does something. It's like a controller in effect. For this, from what I can see the gun is just a piece of plastic casing which you slide your Move controller into.

M00lers · 03-03-2011 11:05am

All the buttons are mapped digitally, so hardly a piece of plastic.

Tallon · 03-03-2011 11:37am

It's not, and it's official sony, not like a mad catz thing or something

Beefy78 · 03-03-2011 12:04pm

So the likelihood is that this gun will be used for other games in the future?

kearneybobs · 03-03-2011 12:07pm

Socom 4 is already been announces as using it.

SOCOM 4 supports it also, in fact I think there is a sharpshooter + SOCOM 4 + Move bundle in the States coming out.

Course, that was always the case...

It's not like a 1-game-gun

starman08 · 03-03-2011 2:24pm

Tried to get the move to work on little big planet, but the game saw the navigational controller as one controller and it saw the move as another,
so i ended up with two sack boys on screen

It doesn't work with LittleBigPlanet 2 yet, it only works with Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves, which is a separate game that comes on the LBP2 disc. LBP2 will be patched soon for Move support for create mode, I don't know if you'll be able to use it in normal gameplay (although when I was talking to the Media Molecule guys at the LBP2 launch it seemed like they have some things planned, so we shall see...).

So much more than that. Steep learning curve, but its a great piece of kit.

but its not just a piece of plastic, its a controller with proper buttons. Unlike Wii controllers that just pull a lever and press the existing buttons the Sharpshooter has its own buttons that are mapped specifically for the game. Such as the reload button where the clip goes in, or the pump action mechanism, a switch to turn on single shot or automatic fire.

TestTransmission · 05-03-2011 10:52am

How much is it over here?I saw it in the U.S last week for $39,something tells me that's alot cheaper than over here

Well I think it's the must stupid looking thing I have ever seen in my life. You lot have never had a girl over to your house and if she sees you with a toy gun I know where I be heading the door

Also you look like a fool if your playing it in 3D with glasses and a toy gun in your hand and don't forget the dumb over sized headset
If my girlfriend seen me play I game like that I will be showing the door for sure I can just about get to put on a pair of 3D glasses never made what the nerds also use with the game

I will add that the PS move is **** and never works right the 12 times I used I end up putting in down and saying I can't believe I wasted so much money on this crap

Also if you give out about 3D gaming with out ever playing it your a fool

tok9 · 05-03-2011 2:07pm

Well I'm thinking of getting the Sharp shooter this weekend as there's 5 pound off HMV online and it seems the cheapest at 37 euro altogether.

Anyone know if it can be got cheaper and more importantly where i can get the whole move kit at it's cheapest. The eye toy, move controller and navigator. The best i found was on amazon which was under 60 euro for the lot but they don't deliver to Ireland.

Any help appreciated.

Do you think it's worth buying for FPS games? I assume you've used it with Killzone

Kind of hard to look around but in all honesty when you are in a fire fight and blasting Helgast with the gun it is flipping brilliant, best gun attachment ive ever used. So it has pluses and minuses

If you can wait, this will probably be best for you depending on price.

If your were to buy that pack all separate it would be around 180-190 euro so anything under that is good going.
