The Shoot taking aim at Oct. 19 North American debut

by Griffin McElroy on Oct 7th 2010 12:00PM

Cohort Studios' on-rails, movie-set shooter -- called, you know, The Shoot -- will be available to add to your burgeoning PlayStation Move software collection on October 19. What's even more exciting? On the same day, you'll be able to pick up the PlayStation Move Shooting Attachment, thw peripheral that makes your Move controller look like a totally sweet, Earthworm Jim-esque ray gun.

The Shoot will retail for $39.99, while the Shooting Attachment will cost $19.99. We think that's a pretty fair price for a peripheral that makes it feel like you're actually shooting a gun as opposed to casting spells with the most magical wand -- an important distinction, we think, for a game titled The Shoot.

I didn't really care about this game until I played the demo. It wasn't too bad actually. I was playing with a buddy so I'm sure that helped, but I'd say it's still worth getting (not day 1 but it will find it's way to my shelf).

The Shoot looks interesting. I do plan on trying it out. I want to get Time Crisis as well.

So many games this month....

any game play vids?

@PubeLess

sure why wouldn't there be?

I can't wait to pick up thw peripheral.

@Lucky48 agree! so much fun, it just takes some time to get used, but aiming is so precise

@Lucky48

I loved the demo, Time Crisis will be out on 19th as well, so I'm getting both. :)

@Lucky48 I thought the demo was fun in a no-brainer-fun sorta way. most rail shooters are a _little_ bit stressful, this one was actually fun :)

Every time I see that name, "the shoot", all I can think of is some kinda... waste disposal.

Guess the $39.99 price comes with redundant enemy design.

@misanthropelove

No, no, no. This is one of the levels where you have to take down the nefarious, outlaw posse called "The Twins"

Mwahahahahaha! Do you Move users like pet simulators and on-rails shooters with the occasional hardcore offering thrown in as an afterthought? You better because that's what you're getting!

@A Sandwich

So Sports Champions, The Fight, Tumble, Heavy Rain, Resident Evil 5, Little Big Planet 2, High Velocity Bowling, John DalyPro Stroke Golf, Killzone 3 and all the other games like Sorcery don't count?

Perhaps the long laugh should be directed towards you.

@A Sandwich

Oh and, of course, MAG and Socom 4.

@golfs4panzys
Did you actually read your own list? Of the 12 games you listed 3 were already released and are just getting a quick patch to add Move support, 2 were already done better on the Wii, 1 is the finale to the most boring and generic FPS franchise of all time, and 4 of them look pretty cool even though I think the Move controller is only required for one of them. As for the other 2, no one is looking forward to The Fight or that game about John Daly stroking it.

@A Sandwich And yet that all you're opinion that no one but you cares about. Move+mag is worth owning the controller. Also wii hasn't done anything better. SC kicks Wii sports ass. Sorry move along.

@A Sandwich

I'm disappointed with Move. I wanted to buy it at launch, but I can find nothing to justify my purchase, right now there's nothing outside of mindless crap and Wii copies.

Of course, biased people will try to argue for it much the same way I used to about the Wii in it's early life. Really, it's not great right now. Maybe later.

@mmmfishtacos
"Sorry move along." Did you... did you just tough talk a sandwich over the internet? Wow, that's so cool. Just in case you didn't know, though, ending an argument with that line is code for "I'm an asshat and incapable of articulating anything clever."
And for the record, Sports Champions doesn't kick anything's ass. It's very existence is Sony's silent affirmation that they can't do anything that Nintendo hasn't pioneered. Even the sports are the same. And 4 years too late. C'mon, man, even sandwiches know that the Move is destined to fail.

@A Sandwich

I believe the voters have spoken and the only thing failing here is your comment.

Enjoy the fade.

@golfs4panzys
I will enjoy the fade, thank you. If there's something I've learned about Sony fanboys it's that they 1) have no sense of humor about their console and 2) can't put together a coherent discussion to save their lives. In this case, if the fade is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

@A Sandwich

Coherent discussion? All that happened here was that you made a bad joke and I questioned it.

Then you got down voted and I made a bad joke. End of story.

@A Sandwich Guess what, SC does what i tell it to do, Unlike wii sports.. It looks better, it runs better, and it works better. Who cares who did if first, I'd still love nintendo, but they've lost me this gen. I'm glad you're happy with your waggle, but true motion makes games like SC more fun.

@mmmfishtacos
You're either unimaginably uncoordinated or... nope, I guess that's the only explanation.

@A Sandwich Or nintendos tech isn't as good as you think it is, and it isn't. I can never play a wii game again after move. You're just a wrong troll. You really need to get over the fact one works and the other doesn't.

@mmmfishtacos
You can never play a Wii game again after Move? Are you being serious? How are you able to type with Sony's cock in... well, in whatever orifice you happen to have it in?

@A Sandwich No you dip shit. It works, and I'm over Mario. My DS is a good spot for him if i feel the need. So no need to play Sports like game with the Wii. But I'll forgive you cause you too stupid to know what you're talking about.

@Lucky48 ehh. Seemed like something to do.

I love Sports Champions and Tumble but the demo for this felt broken to me.

@golfs4panzys

i loved the demo for this. i didn't expect to... but there are tons of 'hidden' type things you can shoot for bonus points, etc. and i actually started to really enjoy the 'cutout cardboard' style enemies.

very fun light gun style shooter, i'll be picking it up

I played this at PAX... while I try to be optimistic that it could've gotten better within the last month, at the time it was complete horse shit. The aiming was off, there was a major delay in firing, and every 15 seconds it would recalibrate. Oh, it also wasn't fun... which I think should be the object of most video games.

There's actually Move gun attachments already available. I've had mine for a month waiting for my gun games...

I like this one because it holds both the ice cream cone and the nav controller.

@jocaju

Yeah. Time Crisis for me. Curious to try RE5 with Move support as well.

Might pick this up the demo was ok didn't find anything wrong with it besides getting used to the Move controller itself lol :] might be a buy but cant wait to play Killzone 3 with the move should be Nice!

This looks terrible and generic. Move along...

The company that makes this game is based in Dundee, UK and laid off a bunch of staff recently, just like its neighbor Realtime Worlds.

I was interested in this title until I played the pre-release version a few weeks ago. Perhaps they'll polish it some more, but I was hugely disappointed in the gameplay on the version I played.

I forgot to mention my major complaint with this one was that the tracking was off. I'm seriously hoping they fix that issue.

@Starcade

tracking was perfect in the demo for me.

RE5 with move rocks. Love it!
