Playstation Move: Becoming a missed oppertunity?

So I bit, and dropped the $100 for the Move bundle, and this is my feeling...Why are there no games to play!

Apparently there's 50 games out for, more or less, but looking at the catalogue it's embarassing. Even the games aimed at casual gamers, which I am not one of, are just terrible. Sports Champion held my attention for all of 20min, and that goes for anyone I show the game to. I just finished Dead space: Extraction, and I loved it! But there's nothing else like it out right now...WTF! Anyone else regretting their purchase?

I too feel like they need to get their act together and support the Move a little more. I think they should make some big budget AAA move games that gives people a MUST PLAY value. because as of now there is no software that could persuade people to buy it. they are all bad to decent.

Killzone 3 is GREAT on move! You really should buy that game, it's so much fun using move.

^ Just thought I should note: I do not have the full game, obviously. But on the demo, I used move and it was very responsive and a whole lot of fun, so I'm expecting the same for the full game.

ya a missed oppertunity , after all wii and ps3 move are cheaper then kenict there is absolutely no reason to even buy a kenict lol and sony deserves credit where credits due ,in fact im still waiting for games for both kenict and move

If I were to list decent Move games: Killzone 3 Littlebigplanet (only a small portion, plus create mode) Dead space Extraction Tumble Heavy Rain Not many games... I've yet to try echochrome 2, R.U.S.E or the fight.

Even if they don't want to make a Move game form scratch, Dead Space shows that you can port Wii games and make them better on the PS3, I know they're already doing it with No more heroes. I'd love to see Silent Hill:shattered memories(awesome flashlight gameplay), Mad world, House of the dead, and Resident evil 4 as Move enabled games.

On top of that, you can take pretty much any old arcade rail shooter and turn it into an awesome multiplayer PSN game.

I think allot of people feel the same about Kinect.

i'd rather have sony stay focused on their core games than release 10 awful, gimmicky wii-wanna-be games.

i'm glad i never gave in. it's a great peripheral, but it's simply not made for core gamers imo.Batang_X990

I'm a core gamer, and I can tell you that it CAN be used for hardcore gaming, gamers like yourself and developers like Sony are just scared of over committing to something new and untested. I have an eyetoy, bluetooth headset, sixaxis and the Move, and yet for the past 3 years, the games I've played are 99% joystick and button based...There's nothing next gen about that.

I think allot of people feel the same about Kinect.

But the Kinect hasn't promised anything to the core gamer, unlike Move, which Sony stated would not be only for casual gamers, and to their credit, Killzone 3/LBP2 implementation was a sign of that.

I maybe in the minority but I have high hopes for Socom4, its develop by Zipper int. The company that put console gaming on the map, and makers of MAG(An So-so game). I believe KZ will feel alot like many FpS game you can play with the Move. While Socom4 will be a different Experience

Socom has always had something to go along with it- PS2 Mics, and PS3 Blu-tube. Socom Communication is always important for the top-notch experience. While Bfbc2 and CoD are not that big on communication. I think the difference in playing Socom4 and KZ, will be like alot like playing MvC3 with the Joystiq, then playing something like Tekken.

If your not looking to get Socom4 then the Move probably will feel like having a mic just to have one. Or having a Joysiq with no real reason of having it.

(I doubt if this new Socom will be the same in having good Communication).

I hope for your guys sake it doesn't fail but I bet it does and you guys shouldn't have bit, at least not this soon. This is why I waited, I knew this would happen, at least I thought it would and it did lol. If it comes out with a game I find it worthy for, for instance, if The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim let me walk around with a shield and sword using the move, I'd have been all for it, playing a sport game when I can walk outside and do it? no thanks.

It seems like a casual accessory for a hardcore console, and although it can be used for hardcore games, it doesn't offer enough of an advantage to be worth $50 plus $30 for the camera. If they want to sell more of them, they should create a really good family-friendly Move franchise and advertise the living hell out of it.

It is to me to a certain extent. Move needs more software. Sorcery looks like a great idea, but I hope it's not rushed just to bring more move titles. I don't really want all of Sony's exclusives to have add on controls.......I want games developed around the move.

Day 1 purchase and havent played it since day 1?????

Somewhat, but I'm fine with it, I'm using it mostly with friends anyway and there are some good local MP gamesaround aalready. Can't wait for Sorcery though

this thread is the reason i havent purchased one yet. if they can make a good original and intuitive AAA title based on using the move as a primary controller then i'll consider picking one up, if they can make a couple of those games then i'm definitely sold. until then though, why purchase it if theres no move specific games available?

^ im of the belief that the software should be coming out with the peripherals, not maybe something at some point down the road.

edit : wait what, im welcome? for what? am i supposed to be thanking you for spending your money?

^ exactly, the support for kz3, heavy rain and others is awesome but really to me those are "we made these to use for ps3 controllers but we're going to take some extra time to make sure the move support is fun" games. i want a "this was made meticulously specifically for the move and will blow you away because of its level of detail" game.

^ i never advocated shovelware or even an overabundance of games. i just think that they should have started dev'ing games for it long before it came out so that there are multiple AAA titles available exclusively for the move at or near release.i figure if the company really wanted to sell it they would have made a couple innovative and fun move only games. not move patched controller games.

Honestly, the whole motion gaming scene need to die. Sony/Microsoft are tryna cash in on the wii market. End of story.

In the beginning everyone said if wii had better graphics then the games would be great, ok so ergo ps3/360 steps up into the market, but now there's no games to actually support it. All in all the vast majority of the gaming scene isn't about motion experience. The wii is fun because the core experience is geared around motion. Where as ps3/360 aren't.
Your not going to see big name developers working on a project from the ground up designed around the move simply because they understand the market and statistics. Sure games will have tacked on move support and ports, but they wont be choreographed from the ground up to be AAA titles specifically for move. You alienate your audience when you dedicate towards a peripheral device.

Real talk here : Out of all your friends/people you know who game how many of them actually care about move experience? It's too gimmicky. Like what ever happened to siaxis? Same boat.


In the end it's your preference if you'd rather use the lollipop wand over the controller. So be it. Just dont expect anything to venture onto the scene that's gonna blow you away. Usually if your regretting a purchase right away... it wasn't the right buy for you.

Software did come out with the peripheral, just not software you were looking for. And please don't take any offense over my post saying you're welcome. It was just me kidding around with a joke. The_Rick_14

i figured you were probably joking, though sometimes in GS its hard to tell the kidders from the trolls (kinda like how interpreting sarcasm isn't alwayseasy)
as for the games that came out, yes there were a few move only titles that were released but from what i've seen they appear to be the aforementioned shovelware. they might be decent games but they're not what i would consider an enthralling gaming experience. i've seen sonys first party support ofgood, fun and innovative AAA titles like kz2, GoW3 and Heavy Rain. what i want is that equivalent move experience, what those games did to be fun with a sixaxis i'd like an equal quality move game. i know i know, im asking for a lot :P

You gotta give it time. I think there've been a lot of good titles so far. I like sports Champions. Me and my friends play it on video game nights. Dead Space is amazing. My wife thinks Zumba is fantastic.

Plus, I've played games on the Kinect and Wii and theMove wins hands down in responsiveness. I always get a huge lag when I play Fight on the Kinect.

The games will get there. I remember when the PS3 started out at $599 and people thought the price was crazy and there weren't enough games. A few years later and BAM, people love that Bluray and 3d are built in. I think in a year every awesome game will be move compatible.

I felt the same way when the PS3 launched a few years ago. The system gathered dust and was hardly used for over a year at one point. Now its used everyday and i can hardly keep up with all the new games. Move is the same thing. Im sure, one day, Move games will be more than plentiful.

I also have Playstation Move, and yeah, I hardly ever touch it. It's been a while since I last played it. I actually only played it a few times. There just does not seem to be a whole lot of games for it at the moment. I do want to get Playstation Heroes so maybe that could be good. I don't know...

It's motion gaming. What did you expect?

Killzone 3 is GREAT on move! You really should buy that game, it's so much fun using move.

^ It's actually very good and takes a little while getting used to it. But if you can't get into using the move controller than there's no point really getting the sharpshooter, might as well save the cash right. robmonga2

The Move hasn't got support from game critics. I think most want it to fail. RD_Nukem

What I find strange is the terrible reviews of "Kung Fu Live" and "The Fight: Lights Out". Awesome but very tiring games. But I think it's only because couch potato games reviewers can't be bothererd to get off their a$$ and they don't like sweating. They give them bad marks. They are great and fun games. It wouldn't surprise me if there were other games out there that are good but less well known because of bad reviews. The Move hasn't got support from game critics. I think most want it to fail.
