The Playstation Move

Along with 3D the new PS3 update that went live today adds the ability to control the internet browser cursor with the move which is a nice touch.

An obvious touch, perhaps?!

Heavy Rain Move Edition is awkward. You have to learn a complete new lingo in what the various signs mean. Which also work counter-intuitive. A motion controller means holding it upright, while a dot means holding the motion controller level, as the dot is meant to signify the colour-bubble. But when the controller is viewed to see that bubble in that way, it's basically aimed with the front towards you. Combine that with a movement command and my brain starts converting that movement relative to how the icon is viewed.

In other words, seeing a "dot and left" icon, translates in my brain to "move motion controller to the right". And then when you think you've finally got it, it throws a L2+T command at you and you want to scream.

I now know how a casual gamer must feel when presented with the Steel Battalion controller.

I don't know, the OH has refused to touch the wii the entire time that I've been borrowing it from Poet, never played Heavy Rain and yet he had it down within about 5 minutes with the Move controller

Picked up Flight Control HD and Tumble, should see me through until I can afford a new wand and Sports Champions

Picked up Flight Control HD and Tumble

I played these for most of last night and they're absolutely brilliant fun with Move, reaching into the screen to place a block in Tumble is just astonishing to me, it feels perfect and real.

[bradigor]

That is part of the reason I got it, it just felt so natural, my son was also able to do it with ease, so a cheap game we can all get use out of.

I'm stuck on Tumble, Zone 4 I think, the one where you gotta get three pieces up to a small level for the gold. It's always juuuust below it. Arrrgh!

[Cthulhu Steev]

I've been playing Sports Champions this morning for a little while and I'm red hot and having a break now, I can't believe how much welly you have to put behind the throwing sports!

Yeah, I think that was the first level that stumped me for a little while. If I recall correctly it's quite a surprising solution. It's a pity the game doesn't show you how you did it when you return, otherwise I'd be able to offer hints, but I can't remember it exactly.

Proves my brain is acting all funny then. No surprises there.

Disc Golf absolutely kills

i was pleasantly surprised at this had a go with it at work yesterday and really enjoyed myself. This is what the Wii wishes it was!

I find it a bit weird that people are surprised this is more accurate than the Wii. I mean, what were you expecting?

[Paulando]

Well, I've bought one! And I picked up Sports Champions too. I haven't set it all up yet though, I'll do that later. Do you need to update from v3.41 to use it?

I think it'll do quite well. It's easy to integrate into games that can use the normal controller too, and it won't leave people wondering what the fuck it's all about (like with the Motion Plus).

A SonyLOL, presumably.

That's 'So Near, Yet So Far' isn't it? I've just done it and it's a complete shit, but you will have learned a strange new stacking skill when you figure it out.

I'm telling you, there's much worse to come.

You know what would make it perfect? 3D support. Nevermind racing games with shit flying in your face or an FPS where you can see your gun waving about in front of you, reaching into a proper 3D environment and moving them blocks about? It'd be aces.

I'm already stuck on the next bonus puzzle. I've just turned it off because it's making me feel thick

If you have the TV it does support 3D, I'm pretty sure one of our forum members has played it 'full-spec' as it were.

I don't even have an HDTV, but I'd certainly get a 3D one come upgrade time for stuff like that.

'Flight Control' is lovely using Move but by god the game is terrifying at times, I need a breather after about 5 minutes of playing!

It's no Air Traffic Chaos.

[locke_211]

Played a bit of "Lost in Nightmares" for the first time - is pretty great! Much better atmosphere than the main game and hugely nostalgic. Can't you save in it, though?

[Cthulhu Steev]

I had to look that up to see what it was, now that looks beyond terrifying. I would be rubbish at that game without a doubt.

I can't even figure out the 2nd one on zone 2 of the demo

Did someone post a list of the entire Move library out so far?

People are saying the firmware added the option of a direct pointer for the browser. Am I missing an option or was that bollocks?

Yeah, it's not there that I can see.

Indeed it does. It's fast become my favourite example of 3D/3D game.

Just had a great evening with friends and the Move. I think a lot of people are underestimating Start The Party. Seeing yourself on screen wielding all manner of objects is a definite winner, and that alone convinced one PS3 owning friend to pick up Move, whilst another said they'll be getting a PS3 for it this Christmas.

Whatever the outcome, I think Sony have put together a good set of launch titles. Sure there's potential for more, but I think these titles plant the seed of expectation there, and have done a good job of getting people excited for what's to come.

Archery was a really popular game this evening too, espescially with the two controllers. It certainly adds an extra layer of immersion to the experience.
