I know Nyaa tell that to gofreak, it's like he never even tried playing on Wii to see how such games might work and what's possible or comfortable, yet tried to use every bit of info for Sony's stuff since the very beginning as the superior solution for weird crazy reasons like that, even though half of the patents' stuff weren't implemented Nyaa

The only way to get that kind of independent turning and shooting would be to eliminate strafing or having strafing toggled to a button like the old days. You literally turn and walk with the stick, strafe by holding down a button and use the IR for shooting like a light gun game.

But that would end up as more cumbersome than the schemes we already have.

Here's IGN's bit I mentioned:
There are a couple of "pointer" based games on display, too. A game called "The Shoot," basically a rail shooter along the lines of Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles or Dead Space Extraction. Players move the PlayStation Move controller to guide the on-screen reticule around the playfield and shoot the incoming enemies. The "lag" I felt in the augmented reality demos was more apparent here because you didn't have your on-screen self guiding the reticule, and it wasn't matching up with any physical object. Plus, the game has its own calibration system and it was throwing off my aim – someone had set up the calibration for wide sweeping motions to guide the reticule just a few inches on-screen. Luckily a quick recalibration with the menu option, and a simple tap of the button on the controller and I was back in business.

I should note that The Shoot did get thrown out of whack in aiming, much like the same thing that happens in Wii Sports Resort's Sword Play. The game has a built-in recentering tool for when the reticule drifts, so it looks like the system may have a similar calibration issue that Wii MotionPlus does.

Sony really needed a better first-person shooter demonstration for the PlayStation Move and its uncreatively named Sub Controller (basically the Wii nunchuk ripoff). The company has a very early, and low-framerate version of SOCOM 4 here that does pointer tracking, similar to Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. It doesn't feel very sensitive in this demo, and that may be more because of SOCOM 4's early-in-development state.

Bundling the new controllers is going to present a potential problem for Sony too.  Do you offer two seperate SKU's - one with the traditional controller only, and one with the traditional and motion controls?  If they do that, how much more do they have to raise the price?  It will likely put the system back at the $400 which has already proven to be the kiss of death. It doesn't seem to matter how much value you pack into a console, at $400 it's just too much. Plus when you have two different controller sets to choose from it's likely to confuse a few people on what they need when they make the initial purchase.

So does Sony try another price cut to bring the prices down $50?  They're really putting themselves in a tough spot if they are serious about getting the Move to be successful. Still not sure why they went through with it. It's like adding a 5th wheel to a really good car.

This makes little sense to me. There is drift with wii motionplus. In Red Steel 2 for instance the game invisibly re-centres the position whenever you point at the screen. But for IR based games where you are pointing at the screen/sensor bar you never have to recalibrate.

I can't imagine having controller drift in an IR based shooter. Online multiplayer would never be the same would it? Would you pause to re-calibrate and your character would temporarily be invunerable to damage? How would that work without people using it to cheat? And it would get really annoying even in single player too.

Eurogamer

Motion Fighter

Motion Fighter drew crowds with its stylish, sharply lit monochrome visuals, a tight over-the-shoulder camera tracking our tattooed Asian boxer as he trades blows with a bandana-wearing biker thug. This bare-knuckle brawler looks like no motion control game you've seen before - very high definition, very grown up, very cool, very PlayStation.

Strange, then, to pick up the two Move controllers and find myself playing a refinement of Wii Sports Boxing, many people's first experience of motion control over three years ago. Or not so strange: it's natural to pick up a motion controller and want to punch stuff, of course, but even the greater technical capabilities of Sony's set-up can only do so much with boxing, where timing is dictated by gesture recognition and animation routines.

The Shoot

The least convincing game on display was The Shoot, a basic, movie-themed shooting gallery that combines pointer aiming with a handful of gesture-triggered special moves.

You can also flick the Move controller side to side to dodge (though only in certain sections), slam it down to send out a shockwave, or twirl it once to start a brief period of slow-motion if things get too hectic. It's the same old gesture control we're used to - not quite instant, not quite reliable - although it does seem a smidgeon snappier on Sony's device.

As a proof of concept it's fine, but if Sony wants to avoid giving the impression that Move will suffer the same flood of cheap and cheesy cash-ins that the Wii has, it shouldn't be showing games like this.

SOCOM 4

The pointer feels a little slow at times, but I suspect this is down to the choppy frame rate of this early version of SOCOM 4 rather than the Move hardware. Otherwise, SOCOM is a breeze to control using the new controller duo, and my Zipper guide admits that, although the developer's still tuning, it's been relatively easy getting the basic interactions to feel right.


Update: the "game" you get for the $100 isn't a game.

Camera + controller (including a “starter disc” with a range of demos for games releasing later in the year)

GG on a rampage, so awesome! All the points you are bringing up are alarming. Still there are a few conflicting reports so until we get our hands on it or there is one hell of a 1 on 1 video demonstration we won't know exactly how accurate it will be.

That said I like the idea of motion controls, I dont like that they presented it as a Wii ripoff. Wii already has that market, this is just sad. I expected a line up of actual games. Hopefully E3 will show some, SOCOM is a nice start but it's SOCOM...

Don't be an ass. Nyaa

I'm not saying anything anyone else isn't. Even you've said how Valve could have made a great Wii FPS by now.

And its a factual error that Kotaku made about the sensor bar not sensing depth.

Plus this picture says it all. How is it not a rip?

Of course its a ripoff, but how could they possibly NOT come out with a motion controller that seemed like a ripoff? Naturally the first company to do something are going to make the followers seem me-too ish.

I can't complain because this could be giving me what I wanted; A Wii-style controller on a modern console with good online, that will get more games using it that I actually want to play.

I'm liking Sony's ripoff a lot more than what Microsoft is doing with Natal. What Sony is doing will work...you're using a controller to play games. Natal though just makes no sense to me. How do I play a game by flailing my body around and not using a control pad of any kind?

Honestly my reaction is a little topsy turvey at the moment. From all the bravado I expected Sony to kick it from the get go with a largish selection of hardcore games, not just from them, but from third parties, ready to show here and now at its revealing. Instead it seems like a time warp back to when Nintendo showed off the Wii remote in October 2005 and then we heard backstage impressions of the demos that went on to become Wii Play.

And the whole games and presentation seems so poor, so much like the casual junk people try to avoid playing on Wii already. A party game, a sports game and then the minority hardcore game.

Top that off with a wholesale design rip, and lets not pretend here, in form and function this IS the Wii remote + nunchuk with better tech (wii remote is like 4 years old now) and it just comes across as directionless. Add on top a $100 price for not just controllers but a camera but a bunch of demos. It's just not really.... well with Natal I dont really have a problem because its fresh -even if I think the Move will have far better functionality- but the excecution here and follow through, from its wii like lifestyle shots, to wii like rhetoric.

We heard all this back in 2006, it feels like a time warp. IMO people should be more pumped for games like Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 et all and upcoming games like Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Last Guardian etc.

At the moment there is nothing to be excited about with Move and I don't see it having a high value to Sony as a platform mover until they pack it in with every system and reduce the price of that bundle significantly. The casual market who already buys wii and one game is not going to go out and buy a more expensive system and one game.

And the hardcore who already love sony and their games, already have or were already planning to buy a PS3 anyway. IMO a price drop would be a lot more effective as platform mover than a new modular device introduced 4 years late into the lifecycle.  

Some of the reports are a little weird, some games require two wands, others a wand and a sub controller? The motion sounds great, the IR we are gettting mixed reports on lag and unresponsiveness.

If I finally get my lightsaber fighting game on PS3 I'll jump on the opportunity (as long as the pricing will be reasonable), even if I'll still be pissed off at all the developers who didn't make such games a reality earlier by choosing stupid biases and misconceptions presented by the lowest common denominators of the media instead.

This will annoy me, hell it even annoys me slightly when Dvader gets excited that shooters ps3 shooters will play like Wii. We could have had lots of great shooters already if developers had got off their ass and not pigeonholed Wii as a kids system from the get go. Now you'll get developers making these games they should have been making years ago. It's like warping back in time to 2006, even this first line of game games looks horrible - just like casual wii games. Yeeeees. LOL

Note: posting from a mac, so I don't know how to copy text and keep it all in one post.

I will say this again, it is all Nintendo's fault for making a system that is old tech. FPS is a genre that has always been at the cutting edge of graphics, that has always been a big selling point of FPSs. Take that away and you already have a much harder sell. Online play is another major aspect, the Wii isn't exactly the best online system. The two most important selling points for a FPS the Wii fails at, plus it's userbase doesn't seem like the most shooter friendly crowd. Why would a developer waste their time making a quality FPS on the Wii?

The problem isn't that its a motion controller, the problem with it is that it copied every design concept and lesson that Nintendo made when it created the wii remote. Is has the same form and function. Same button layout, same back triggers, same separate parts, same wand shape, same frigging wrist cord.

There are reasons why the wii remote works in its physical form, that is why its designed in that way, from the shape being a virtual handle, to having the central A button and rear trigger, to separating the parts. Ignoring the tech, the actual design team that created the wii remote, their ideas have pretty much been wholesale copied.

What type of PS3 games would you like to play using motion?

If Natal allows for really intricate motion tracking, I'm talking tracking my fingers as they move and rotate objects, with both hands. That could be really, really cool. I would love to check out a boom blox or elebits style game with that kind of object interaction. If not then its eyetoy time.
