So how laggy is the Playstation Move?

Here is a video from Digital Foundry. So you can see with your own eyes not just read about it. Looks pretty bad to me.

While at GDC, we noticed that the new PlayStation Move controller has a little lag. Want to see how much lag?

The technical gurus at Digital Foundry took a 60 frames-per-second camera to GDC, went and used the Move for a bit, and took this footage. It doesn't take the 20% speed to see that there's some noticeable lag there.

Not enough to render the controller useless, of course, and no more than you're used to with the Wii, but enough to have an impact on any game that requires precise timing.

In its defence, this is pre-release stuff, and there's no telling what magic can be conjured by Sony's engineers (and developers) between now and the peripheral's release.

doesn't look as bad as Natal's lag though :P

In that video it still looks vastly superior to the Wiimote, even with M+, for motion tracking.

I'd say that Natal's is much worse.

you know that it is pre-alpha footage right? and it will talke 6+ months for the move comes out, it will be lagless when it comes out

It is half the lag than natal. But both are also adding tv lag. So it should be around 30-50 ms.

I think it's eye toy, my theory.

yeah eyetoy has 130ms of lag no matter what

there's probably some processing time lag on top of that

and some software lag as well

it's not necessarily that bad tho, your eyes will adjust

WM+ has the exact same amount of lag. Move does nothing that WM+ can't and vice versa.

Hahahahaha, lemmings talking about lag. Oh, the irony ... Let me see if I can do a bit of damage control (taking from the wisdom of our lemming brothers):

But, but, ... It's not final ... they will optimize it :cry:

Well it's still in development stage, so that's no surprise. It should be lowered to respectable levels by the time of launch. Same goes for Natal.

goblaa

What ?

Every game on Wii Sport Resort as 0 lag... ?

You felt some lag in the Sword fighting game ???

I think all these motion controls will always have some sort of lag to all of them but I doubt the lag will be major enough to ruin the gaming experience.

I was thinking the same thing. All this talk about 1:1 and now that it's apparent it DOES suffers from lag and other fail (when the camera loses track of the ball) it's "still vastly superior to the Wiimote, even with M+"? Riiiiight. Time to look at the facts bro, this **** doesn't look that good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKZfjvLq5NgIn short, Wii M+ > PS Move.I'm open for PS Move and I hope it gets implemented into alot of FPS games but you're basicly making a fool out of yourself.

Did you all see the Kevin from the future link on that page? He says something about not having a controller for shooters. Just like that banned 360 commercial where everyone was "shooter" each other with their hands. Haha!...:| I guess MS took that commercial they made to heart, because Natal uses no controller.

the lack of lag from the playstation move is about the only good thing I've heard about it so far.

From the interviews I've seen of people playing the MOVE they always seem unimpressed, and mention that they hope they develop better games for when it releases.

Unfortunately I don't think many non-microsoft people have played natal yet. So it's hard to say if it lives up to the hype.

You all know what tho? Im actually going to buy two ps move's and that fighting game. They sold me after watching all these videos.

So I guess it's settled. Cows have been jealous that the Wii can do something the PS3 can't. Now that it has it, they are all over it.

This is what happens when you rip off crap...you get more crap.
