Peter Dille: Move will attract hardcore gamers with precision

So sell it. What the hell's holding you back? It's not like anyone will miss your presence on the PSN at all.

So are periods.

No difference between it being called move to arc.. Gem would have been shit, but move is perfectly fine.. I doubt anyone would reject the controller because of its name, unless they have serious mental issues.

What did the early prototype you tested look like ?

All prototypes I have seen have had the ball on the top..

The dev kits we used looked nothing like the eyesore they are now, they looked dynamic elegant and rich like all other sony products. The name suited it well. Now it looks like a babys first karoke mic. I don't care for sony but the have good tastes in product design. The product may not be great but looks great atleast. I doubt the vast majority of PS3 owners would be the type to purchase the move just based on EA software numbers.

Muramasa the Demon Blade says hi.

I've never understood this claim. I have both a Wii and a PS3. I have a very large stack of Wii games, all of which I absolutely love. I have a much smaller stack of PS3 games and maybe a list twice as long as the stack of games I want but can't afford right now. In total, all of the Wii games I have/want is probably about the same size as all of the PS3 games I have/want. If you can't find good games on the Wii you're not looking hard enough.

PS3 has exponentially more games because of all the multiplats. The Wii has literally a handful of good multiplats and the only stuff that's any good is first party, and it's all very traditional Ninty.

Does anyone understand Natal? We get it, its an upgraded eyetoy. Watch the newest Engadget show with Move and you'll see Sony engineers discussing their work with 3-D camera technology and why its not suitable for most gaming applications. They understand it b/c they researched it (3DV in fact) and know full well its limitations. Sony is the godfather of camera based gaming technology so they certainly have an understanding on Natal.

you buying an ipad today? lol just messing with you based on all your anti apple rants at engadget.

Dear Jack Spicer
Why to to tie in pointless bashing around an impossible to prove point. Please provide me with proof that sonys R&D teams were working on motion controls before nintendos R&D teams. Please provide me with proof that sony took said motion controls to the gaming world and took it by storm..thus becoming the default provider of motion controls among all consumers minds.

As for what i said, I currently fall under the term "hardcore gamer" that the industry likes to through around these days. And while under that baseless title i do not now nor ever want to use motion controls to play games, and everyone i know and game with does not either, thats why we all bought the same console......and we all play the same games that seem to completely lack motion controls with no public outcry to include them in.

Also while you seem to think this is something you can just "Avoid" may i please direct your attention to the next socom game in development.....thank you very much

Please do research, particularly of E3 2000, before commenting again.

@Provost

Go watch the most recent engadget show. Sony made motion gaming like Wii in the early PS2 era. Watch the video, they also played with 3-D camera technology (Natal) about 9 years ago.

Whenever you talk about Sony I call BS.

Because Natal isn't a higher precision PS Eye. I don't understand why Sony fanboys don't read any articles on natal to find out what it's actually supposed to do.

Darn you to heck comment system! This was supposed to be a reply to Titus8705 back on page one.

Aiming your gun works just as it would in a light gun or wii game. Natal can read dynamic 3d movements at each joint and determine where you are in space and where you are aiming.

I am guessing it worked something like this:

This is an upcoming demo of Police 24/7 II Project Natal.

Your right its absolutely awesome, I cant wait for it either..

Did you make the PEW PEW PEW sounds while you fired your finger?

Buttons, tactile feedback has to be present for proper immersion. At least for me it does.

Quick, grab both hands and shoot him with ur shotgun. BANG BANG...yer dead.

@McDuck

I was going to repost your link, but you beat me to it.

POW POW POW

Yep, so revolutionary

PEW PEW PEW

BANG BANG

POP POP

and then some "LAZER" sounds

LAZER

Cutting edge tech that BOTH Sony and Nintendo turned DOWN.

PEW PEW PEW

Dude, I shot you already, why are you still posting?

I thought the NATAL was accurate.

BANG

BOOM

ZAP

CRASH

I feel like I am watching the bubble pop ups from the Original Batman TV series.

@killjebus :D , I laugh every time I see the video of that woman, towards the end she is just freaking hilarious.

She should become the Natal spokesperson @e3 when they unveil the natal properly and they stick the game anticrawl is talking about she needs to be the one they hire to play it in front of the audience..

HAHA! Great video, and while there was some serious "pew pew pew" action going on it is honestly a really fun device. But nah the demo I had fooled around with was neat, just like a classic Time Crisis arcade shooter. No cover peddle, quarters or light-gun required though.

Honestly though in response to your cynicism I hope both devices do great because that means more money for me and my stock value increasing. Personally though Natal is far more impressive because it can sense depth and make calculations based on the location in space where each joint of your body is. Not only that but it is expanding on the current controller without having to replace it like the Arc.. or Move or whatever Sony is calling it now. Don't have a remote? Lazy in bed? Just wave your hand over at your console and it'll boot up and you can gesture navigate with your hands over to Netflix to watch a movie right before bed. I just don't see how anyone isn't excited about that. Having to work on all 3 consoles I really don't wanna have to deal with another physical input system. We have controllers piling up everywhere and I don't think I can handle this whole Move nonsense at work, especially the distracting bulb.
