Sony GDC: More on Move

• Controller-only for users that already own a PlayStation Eye
• PlayStation Move Starter Kit: A PS Eye, a controller, and a game.
• PlayStation 3 Bundle: All of above, plus a PS3.

I'm so tired of motion controls. For the love of god, make it stop.

I cant believe they're calling the nunchuk the "sub controller"

MOVE, cant belive they spent years coming up with that name. PHALLIC is more like it.

SOCOM looked odd with motion sensor controls.

More mingame collection's with party in the title, oh boy.

I've never felt so embarrassed watching a press conference

"Spinning backfists, uppercuts, headlocks, and other moves are all possible." 
 
orly? spinning backfist didn't seem possible to me...

It took them this long to just copy the Wii..?

It at least appeared to be responsive and fluid. It was a better first demonstration than Natal, that's for sure.

This is kind of sad. I trusted PS3 as non-corruptible source of real games.

When did SOCOM turn into Gears of War?

I don't really know what to think of it. It is kind of neat, though not far off of what the Wii's been doing for going on 4 years now. But a lot of it just seems inconvenient and unnecessary to me.  A table tennis game? Sure, even though I can get a perfectly serviceable one for the Wii, I'll take it. The LittleBigPlanet level manipulation? Ok, that's kind of neat, but again unnecessary. Socom with motion controls? Hell no. I don't want to play a shooter with tacked on motion controls. That's dumb. If that were the case, the Wii version of Call of Duty would be the most-played & best selling. But it's not. 

Unlike the Wii, this is all completely optional. Everyone needs to stop acting like Sony pissed in their HD Corn Flakes.

I just... don't know why I need a second wii.
 
wtf.

This means games that were previously exclusive to the Wii by design don't have that intrinsic limitation.  That means we can see motion controller games (plus with camera stuff maybe) with higher fidelity graphics.  I think it's a smart move on Sony's part to play both Microsoft's and Nintendo's markets to provide a happy middle.  Free online but not amazing service, 3rd party games on par with 360's quality, a very good roster of exclusive titles, and now a casual market entry with a possibility to add functionality to otherwise controller-only games.
 
I like it (although the name could have been better.  Abbreviated, PSM is going to be confusing, unless people are going to call it "the Move" which is weird.  Not horrible like the Wii but not good either".

What in the
 
A HUNDRED DOLLARS?
 
For this WII KNOCKOFF SHIT?
 
Jesus
 
Christ.

Too similar to the Wii-mote for mine. So what if it's 100x more accurate, Motion Plus hasn't been a game changer for the Wii. 
 
PS3 will be home to the Wii's shovel-ware, like 360 will follow with Natal.

These "catchy name that describes the device/software" words that apple popularized (TIme Machine, iPad) work a lot better when they don't sound like a demand. 
 
"Playstation says you really need to move, you lazy fuck. Seriously, wipe the cheeto dust off your sleeve, and MOVE!" 

Hate to say it, but despite how nice that tech looks compared to wii stuff... still feels a little bit "me too!" compared to what MS is doing. 

Wow. Didn't I see this stuff 4 years ago when Nintendo was unveiling the Wii?

And so Sony's first step into the world of motion control will bring us...wait for it...more mini-games! Sorry, but nothanks.jpg.

Hopefully when all the motion controller stuff releases; I can finally stop hearing the hype. I'm getting tired of motion controls already.

Apparently no rumble?

I don't want to hate on it too much, bc i think it could be cool, but Move Party? Real original Sony.

 There is a solution for all you dual-shock loving gamers; just ignore the stupid controller!
 
- Hey man did you see that new PlayStation Move?
- I'm not listeniiiing!

Can you haters please stow it? For one, Move is optional. You don't have to buy it, you don't have to use it. Even with it being in games like Socom 4, that's completely optional also. Fact of the matter is, this is a huge market for Sony. If they manage to do this a lot like the Wii, but better, they are going to sell gangbusters, and make a lot of money.
I have a friend who's wife won't let them buy a PS3 because it's not really kid, or family friendly. Not as much as the Wii anyway. I have no doubt that after I tell them about this, and show it to them, they are immediately going to buy a PS3. That's the type of thing Move is going to do. Most of it is going to cater to a specific "Wii-type audience" which doesn't really do anything for me, or most of the people here at Giantbomb. But don't make the mistake of thinking this isn't going to be a huge thing for Sony, and draw in a ton of people. Sony knows what they are doing, and when this pulls in a ton of money, they will be able to spend more resources on other things. Things that you and I will care about.
 
Even if this type of thing isn't really your cup of tea. I'm sure there will still be an occasional game that you will enjoy. Most of the stuff on the Wii is garbage, and not for me, but I still enjoy me some Wii Sports Resort every now and again. 
 
Basically, just let it play out. This doesn't effect you negatively in any way. It's just more options, and that's never a bad thing.

It looks like the Wii but yo, that thing was hella times more responsive.
 
Of course anything motion control gets a backlash -- so look forward to God Of War III again. This is all totally optional stuff.
 
Looked alright to me though. Eager to see more and what people on the floor think of it.

" I cant believe they're calling the nunchuk the "sub controller" "

Anybody who thinks Socom with the Move is a bad idea hasn't played Metroid on the Wii. It's not a tacked on gimmick, it's an enhancement that improves precision. I loved playing that damn game, I can't wait to have that same experience on an HD console finally.
 
Oh and... "Hahah, it's like a dildo! I'm the first person to make that joke ever, right?" I'm so sick of that shit. It's OK to chuckle to yourself if you think something looks like a phallus, but if you still penis jokes out loud whenever you see something long and cylindrical, and think you're being creative and funny, you need to grow-the-fuck up.

Dude, Move Party! Someone at Sony is doing something right... or very wrong.

well playing socom with this will be good *Burst out laughing*  so if this dosent bring shovel  ware then that's good but if it does lets hope not then get ready to run to a safe console or pc.

One hundred dollars.
 
I can't stop thinking about that.

Pretty much 90% of the people commenting here need to realise this totally isn't for you. Sony just wants to branch out into the Wii market they're not trying to enhance your hardcore experience or any shit like that the Socom thing was just for show...
 
That's why this thing looks just like the Wii, they're trying to get the same people but it's totally not going to work. Everyone who can afford a Wii already has one and the PS3 is more expensive so...who exactly is going to buy it? Beats me.
 
Also if you think $100 is expensive I guarantee Natal will cost just as much if not substantially more.

Would've been better if it were called Oscar Mic.

Most of the conference was really just a EyeToy slash Wii copy with a little twist, but I have to say, Socom looks pretty good. I want to see more games use this thing like Socom did!

And anyone who seriously believes this is going to "sell gangbusters" is deluding themselves.
 
This has a bunch of shit going wrong for it:
 
1) One HUNDRED dollars.
2) Totally optional. Third parties will drop this thing like it's hot once their obligatory "okay Sony fine we'll make ONE GAME with motion control for you" contract is up. Remember the Sixaxis? Remember how you threw grenades in Uncharted 1? Remember how fast THAT shit got dropped?
3) A sports compilation and a party game? Is that what you've got? Why would anyone buy a PS3 and this motion controller nonsense with the camera and the controllers and the games when they could just buy a Wii for a hundred and fifty dollars less and get the exact same experience?
4) One HUNDRED dollars.
 
"It's the Wii but more expensive and more complicated" is not going to sell to ANYONE.

HA! HD Corn Flakes! That's great! 
 I go back and forth on the matter. I liked the demo that was shown at last year's E3 with the sword and shield. I like the responsiveness of it if the game's tailor made to support the 1:1 movement. Seems like it'll be much better than the Wii's motion controls. I guess it all comes down to the games released for it for me. Time will tell.

cool... we don't need motion controllers. we need new IPs company, not motion controllers. microsoft and sony are just companying nintendo because of how successful the wii was. a lot of people are wii in paper weight mode. my friend sold his because he was playing more 360 than wii.
