Playstation Move Games

[Arwin]

Okay I got the move today, the demos I have tried are mostly zzzz. Only one that was a bit fun was Disc Golf, I found the table tennis to arcady for my taste, same with racket sports stuff.

Table Tennis too arcady? Lol. Yes there are definitely some assists in the beginning, or else almost no-one would even manage to play this at bronze. Maybe you should try completing the challenge modes. I'm up to the silver final match, and the assists are running thin, if I'm not careful I'm smashing the ball down on my own side, miss the table, serve into the net, etc. It's getting really good.

I don't know what is in the demo in terms of difficulty options, but otherwise I strongly suggest getting the full game. It's a nice workout.

Did not try Tumble or Heavy Rain yet, played a 9 hole round of Tiger Woods 11 and that was fun.
Another thing thats a appointment is that Sports Champions demo on includes Disc Golf and Table Tennis.

But I am seriously looking forward to try the fight games, see if some of my rusty Eskrima moves are of use.

Yeah, I'm getting more and more enthusiastic about The Fight myself. It's starting to look like good fun.

Is the Tiger Wood 11, Move compatible from the disc or do you have to patch it ? Also is it really one to one golf ?

 

[goonergaz]

got mine in the post (got another on order and the nav was posted today so I should have it tomorrow)

Have this lot that is Move compatible:

Games:
RE:5
Eyepet
Heavy Rain (next week)

Demos:
Tumble
Echochrome 2
Beat Sketcher
Sports Champions
Kung-Fu Rider
Start the Party!
The Shoot
TV Superstars
Racket Sports
RUSE

I'm also tempted to get Flight Control HD as it's only £4 and apparently pretty good (it'll actually cost me ~£2.50)

Looks like I have a busy weekend!

There is a teaser trailer for Lifelike:

They showed that but I guess I was saying no discernible gameplay shown.

AFAIK, you have to patch it.

It's very difficult to simulate real golf, so it probably won't be like playing real golf, but it will be fairly close.

Should take a look at ProStroke Golf. I heard it's good.

I see, somehow I just don't have much confidence with games that are patch on, rather than build ground up for Move. I'll look for ProStroke Golf. Is that releasing soon too ?

I doubt it was much different than working with the Wii, and motion control golf has gone back to TW10 on the Wii, which got good review scores. I'd imagine it would be even better on PS move.

I've played TW10 on the Wii and it does a pretty good job at sensing your wrist position upon impact, which determines whether you'll fade/draw etc. When it comes to judging power, though, the Wii remote fails... if you swing too hard, the sensors don't pick up your movements very well so it actually doesn't go as far. I don't think this will be a problem with the PS Move.

I think that's a fairly healthy attitude. That said, some games can still be pretty good - Hustle Kings for instance works great I think (chalking by twisting the Move is a nice touch). Some other games have taken motion controls into account in some form or other. Some games for instance will 'only' work as good as the Wii (Tiger Woods), when they have a Wii or Wii Motion+ cousin that the motion control code is ported from, so they will be worse but not terrible. Other games were originally pointer based (mouse, touch, lightgun) and can be converted to work with the Move controller pretty well - Flight Control falls firmly into this category That means that some games won't be as good as a Move game can be theoretically, but still pretty good.

I read some impressions about lag in TW11. Might want to look closer.

I did not have to patch my Woods 11, to use the Move, but it was not that long ago a patch was done. And at that time the Move info screens showed up in the game, so if you patched you game maybe a month ago, I think you should be good to go.

As for it being playing like real golf, I can not say for sure, I'm not a golfer, I just tried it a couple of times. And hooking issues I had when playing real golf, shows up in the game to
But I think the putting, with standard settings is not very real. Then again if you turn of the power meter, I guess it changes a bit

The demo did nothing to convince me to get the full game. :/

Really strange. I used to play table tennis a lot and I'm impressed. Maybe you have very very very high standards. Or maybe you just don't like table tennis in the first place?

On a different note, my wife just informed me that I have two packages waiting, so that means I'll have my second Move and Resi Evil 5 Move Edition.

More impressions soon in other words.

maybe, depends what it is - I also think some of the games either were made with Move in mind (eyepet) or have a Wii version so it should be easy to port across with a good control system (RE:5 is control mech from RE:4).

JPT, what did you do in the Table Tennis game ?

Gamestop texted me to pick up my controller tomorrow morning (Yay !)

Arwin maybe I had bigger hope for it, I played a lot of tennis and some table tennis growing up. And reading about the move before release, I got the impression that I should be able reproduce the same controll and shots like in a real game.

I did buy Championship Sports today, just try the gladiator game. And well it gets you worked and warm, but it really does not get close to a "real" fight like the sparing I am used to. The lag is not bad, it seems the moves are limited, I can not do some of my normal sword tricks, which are quite easy to pull off in real life.

Patsu, tried a 2 player game in the office on the demo and it just wasnt really competetive and I was able to get away with just waving the move. Yes you could direct it a bit, but I feelt I did not get the control I should be able to do in a real game

I wish I actually could string decent code together instead of the glue stuff I write for work. Then I try to make a Eskrima/Kali/Arnis type fighting game.

 

[patsu]

Is the demo any different from the real game ?

 

[Arwin]

I think you'll like the Fight better. That allows you to replicate most real arm movement.

As for Table Tennis, just hang in there and compete in the Challenge mode. I think by the time you've reached Gold level you'll start feeling more at home. And this goes for more of the games - there's some hand-holding in the earlier stages, but once you progress, the hand holding is taken away more and more. I can replicate all of the stuff I could when I played in real-life, and now at the later levels that starts including the mistakes too.
