Playstation Move

Its finally coming. The playstation Move as it was just named is set for release this autum with approx 20 games currently being created. Some of you may think “arh,,, they’re just copying the Nintendo Wii” but its more like playstation have recreated the Wii to work like it should.

The Wii controller works in a very different way to the PS3 Move. Look at it this way, on the wii, say, in a boxing game, you can just lighly flick your wrist and your fighter will throw a punch. On the PS3 Move however in a fighting game if you flick your wrist your fighter will do exactly that. the key wordwhen thinking about the PS3 Move is Precision!  To fight using the Move you have to actually fight as if you were there. At the end of the press conference Jack Trenton speaks and talks about the ping pong game and says if you know how to play ping pong well you will be good on the game, if your not very good at it, then you will have to learn and it won’t be easy. But once you do you will be able to play ping pong on a real table.

The playstation Move controller is gonna make Wii type games totally realistic. I myself expect to become fighting fit with the street fighting game. I was thinking about toning up using my bro’s punch bag but i think my playstation 3 might just well become my new gym this Autum / Fall.

Ooh 1 last thing. PS3 Move controller with SOCOM 4. I didn’t see that coming. could be great could be crap. cant wait to find out.
