Playstation Move Games

Go for gold Patsu BTW How do you customise the XMB for Move ? Does it work well, I know I hate using Wiimote for navigation and XMB seems to be designed for d-pad. I really wish Move had a d-pad.

 

[patsu]

The nav controller has a dpad ;-) but yes, a Moved XMB would be good, or rather essential. I don't think there is a way to customize the XMB for Move. There is a Settings icon for Move.

I will go for Gold eventually. Also tried disc golf. Pretty much like WSR's.

I also played the RUSE demo with the motion controller and the navcon. Ha ha, if you are looking for serious action, this is it. The controls are too complicated here, more than what I asked for. XD

Got thrashed by the AI. I can see where the motion controller helps, but it is not as good as mouse + keyboard. Control is still a little clumsy when the screen gets too crowded (Clicked on the wrong units). Will need some practise but the game is intense alright. Will see if I can beat the demo.

I think there is a bug in the demo. The map swang around and moved all the way north such that I couldn't see my units anymore. Had to quit out. I was losing anyway.

Will try that demo later today. I've been reading how to get the best calibration, out of curiosity where do you guys place the PSEye ? I placed it at the bottom of the screen, tilting up. Most said you get better calibration if you placed it at top of the screen or shoulder level basically without any tilting of the PS Eye.

I just don't have any method to place it on top of the screen, the TV bevel is just too thin. That and I don't think the cable is long enough to get there. It was a reached to place it at the bottom center.

 

[patsu]

Same as you. Tilting slightly upwards at the bottom of the screen. It's not ideal because I have a desktop PS3. The tabletop will cut off its lower view when I sit too close. So far it's ok for RUSE since I need to point at the screen. Not so sure for MAG yet. I'll know on Monday when the beta reopens.

If I stand further back for action games, about 4 feet away, there's no problem. At the bottom end, as long as the PSEye can see the lightball when you lower (and straighten) your arm, it's fine.

Try this if you have a flat panel.

I ordered online so I'm gonna have to wait until next Wednesday to try this out. Got the starter bundle, an extra move controller and a nav controller all for ~$158CAD shipped plus nearly $40 worth of bestbuy rewards points from PS move promotions they have.

For Sports Champions Table Tennis, I think the avatar you pick will influence your play. e.g., Dallas seems more powerful. Jackson, your Silver opponent, has more trouble returning his ball. I'm still figuring out the game. Got my 5 year old to play Dallas. He beat Jackson 11 - 8. ^_^

EDIT: We played beach volley ball together. I think it's pretty special too. Noticeably better than the disc golf game. Almost as good as the table tennis.

i have the ps3 eye thingy but from what i can figure out it will still cost me $90 bucks for the one remote and sports champions ?

What's the problem with disc golf? I'm asking as a disc golf enthusiast. From youtube videos it looks to be behaving fairly realistically. Though all the discs look to be very overstable(they hold the angle they are put into really well.). I wish they had some more understable discs to make playing more interesting.

Sounds about right. If you are buying in pieces and want to optimize price it might make sense to buy a used copy of the game.

I can't say if something's missing in disc golf. I personally can't get into the real game so the virtual game is like throwing a regular frisbee. I also don't know enough techniques to dwell on the game. OTOH, the beach volley ball game has quite a few moves, more than what I expected. It feels like something I can learn and enjoy at the same time.

Plus a PSEye for eBay.



Toyed with EyePet. It's a flawed albeit special game. The tracking is not that great. Can't calibrate the motion controller properly. The kid loves it; rates it higher than other titles. I am waiting for the sketch recognition toy to unlock. The camera appears very grainy here.

 

[eastmen]

I dunno , doesn't seem very nice for existing owners of a ps eye. I will prob buy it when i can find dirt cheap used game. $90 is a bit to much for me. Are any of the $30 games worth getting ?

 

[patsu]

Sony's BR games are 40 bucks. The PSN games are cheaper. Sports Champions so far is definitely worth $40.

Sports Champions may be worth $40 , but what about for someone who already owns wii sports and has a free kinect coming. I'm not sure its worth $40 (and really its going to cost me $90 to play it)

Let me know what you think of some of the psn games out there. Mabye i will pick it up for one of those

 

[patsu]

I have WiiSports. Sports Champions is still worth 40 bucks for the significant depth if you like rigorous exercises. Almost hurt my arm playing it.

I doubt Kinect can match the sharpness and speed demanded in SC. I tried Kinect bowling, Adventure and the vaulting (track and field) mini-game. I think Kinect can do a better EyePet game though, if they can map the environment more accurately in 3D.

Yea i've played alot of kinect so far. I'm a lazy man tho so I don't like the sound of getting hurt playing video games ! I'm going to wait and see what prices look like and mabye find a used move controller in a few weeks. Like i said $90 bucks is a bit steep for me.

Then you may want to try disc golf, regular golf, Tumble, RUSE, Flight Control. For sports games, I am most curious in MLB The Show next. Hope they take the time to do a good game. I nearly hurt my arm because I wanted to spin the ball as hard as possible. 8^) He beat me last round.

You'll have to decide how you want to spend your money. I'm not here to sell you stuff.

Oh I know , I was hoping i was wrong in figuring that it was $90 bucks if you already have the eye toy. The controller stand alone doesn't come wit any demos or anything ?

 

[patsu]

The demoes can be downloaded from PSN store for free. Some games may have free or paid Move patches.

Hehe, disc golf for sure is quite different than throwing a regular frisbee. I bet one trying to do this on living room would be a catastrophe waiting to happen ;D
