Heroes on the Move is a "Second-Gen" Move Game:
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3181804

Heroes on the Move will be among the first "second-gen" games released for Sony's Move controller -- that is, it's a bit deeper and requires more from the player than the Move's launch games, which are mostly simplistic.

...

Disc: Thrown like a frisbee. Once airborne, players navigate it around the level (using the Move controller) to achieve specific goals. In the level we saw, the player had to find and hit ten targets -- some of them moving, some of them stationary -- in a sort of Easter egg hunt.

Whip: The whip responds in a pseudo 1-to-1 correlation with what the player does with the Move controller. The one level available in the demo we saw was a simple swarm attack, with the player rewarded based on how many enemy waves were survived.

Bowling: As with the frisbee, the player throws the bowling ball (with controls exactly like the Bowling segment in Wii Sports) and guides it with the Move controller. The mission we played was puzzle-like, in that the player had to figure out the specific trick necessary to hit each of the ten goals.

Projectile: This mainly involves the use of guns, though there may be other projectile types as well (we're told there's a fun grenade launcher in the full game). The level we saw was in Haven City, with Ratchet shooting at crystals to activate rockets and blow up enemies.

Melee: Each character whacks enemies using their iconic weapons. In the level we played, Sly Cooper hit enemies with his cane. Movement in this demo was limited to up, down, right and left swipes, chained into combos, but we're told that melee combat will be tweaked in the final game to be a bit more analog with the player's movements.

EDIT: The game has been renamed to "Playstation Move Heroes".

Anyone find it strange that some of the move games don't show up on any of the Playstation websites? I guess most notably sports champions and Move. I wonder what other trophies of mine simply don't show up on the website.

Kind of janky and crappy IMO.

Guys, my family is planning to give me a Move controller for my Birthday ( which is in April but my previous b'day is being clubbed in for a single gift ) !

Now, the problem is that I won't really get to play much with my ps3 untill around summer next tear, maybe even till october. So, technically we could buy it then, but we were thinking that the "Starter Packs" might not be available next year once Move gets established. Buying the camera and Move seperately increases the cost by quite a bit, and we would want to go for the "Starter Pack".

I have never followed accessory pricing, but do you guys think the Sony would still sell the Move Starter Packs around next summer ? Or, since early adopters would have already bought it by then, would Sony just let people buy seperately to get more money?

Do these starter packs stay for the life of the peripherals or are they created just to get the early adopters to buy the accessory?

Should I buy now or should I buy in April2011 ?

I *think* they will continue to bundle Move controllers with new games. e.g., SingStar Dance also has a Move bundle. May be when Sorcery is released, they will do another one. Just my guess.

Yes, Move starter packs will be around next year.

In fact, depending on the game experiences released over the next 6 months, there may be even better bundles in place as well. For example, if a lot of games start using 2 move controllers, I could see Sony (or retailers) releasing a "2-player starter pack" with a camera and 2 move controllers. Or a super-starter bundle, with a camera, move and navcon.

But don't worry, the base starter pack will always be there as Sony will want to make Move accessable for the 35+ million current owners who won't have move by next summer, as well as the 15 million new PS3 users over the next 12 months, most of who will only pick up the standard PS3.

"Starter Packs" will always be around as long as Move is, because you can't have Move without the camera, and you have a communication nightmare to inform the public that they'll need to buy a separate camera along with their Move controller. I imagine games will be bundled too like EyeToy, because you need to give people a reason to actually buy you peripheral! I imagine 'major' title will get their own packs to promote the hardware, so I wouldn't be surprised if Sorcery got a launch bundle for those unconvinced by sports or Start the Party, but who would like the magic-wandery game.

Anyway, you'll always have the camera+Move bundle. If a game doesn't come, you can probably grab one cheap off eBay!

First time I see a TV Superstar advertisement:

Better, but wish they show more game scenes.

TRON: Evolution will support both Move and 3D:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010...er-report-3d-details-playstation-move-update/

SS: How will TRON: Evolution support PlayStation Move?
CW: PlayStation Move is used in vehicle segments, particularly the lightcycle segments. It gives players a more nuanced control over the lightcycle, and it’s fun to be able to hold it like it’s the actual control panel of the lightcycle. And yes, PlayStation Move support is included on the disc!

SS: Do you use one PlayStation Move controller to control vehicles, or two?
CW: You use one, though we experimented with using two. You hold it on its side and tilt it up or down to accelerate or slow down. Watch this space — I think PlayStation Move is something we’ll be doing a little more with going forward. We’ll see what happens with that.

2nd gen?
That looked boring as hell, (from the video I saw) just slowly pointing the wand to show where you want to steer the thing.
A whipping game sounds quite fun though

Anyone here have any good ideas of what would be a good gameplay idea for the wand?

A 1st person view Paper Boy remake that use head tracking so you can look left at right to see the houses as you go down the street on your bike throwing newspapers.

A baseball and hockey game with 1:1 stick/bat control would be nice (it's probably going to happen anyway). Coming in on a breakaway with 1:1 stick control being able to do your own deke/toe-drag moves etc., would be sweet. Nav controller would control your player, and the motion controller controls your bottom/power hand on the stick. And goalie motion controls would be sweet, too. You would need two motion controllers (one for the blocker and one for the trapper) and when you go down on your knees, the goalie would go down in his butterfly, and if you press the trigger buttons, you take control of the pads/your legs instead of the blocker/trapper (or vice versa, trigger buttons take control of your blocker/trapper). Moving both controllers to the side will make the goalie dive if you're out of position, and when both triggers are engaged, he'll stack the pads. Holding the move button would give you stick control for poke checks. Man... I hope this gets done. Hopefully EA will implement something good in NHL 12. I think the next The Show will definitely have move support, and I have a lot of faith in their dev. team.

You haven't used the Move yet, right?

 

[djskribbles]

Ya I have. Why do you say that? Considering how well SC tracks your movement, I think it's totally doable.

Move is for everyone

My Nieces and Nephew was here this weekend and they played it none stop.


My 5 year old Niece love Start The Party I had to play it with her for like 5 hours & that was just the demo she was even keeping up when her older brother & my other niece started playing,

My 12 year old Niece love all the games she even told me to buy TV Super Stars, most reviews said it wasn't good but the kids loved it. & it seem like a game that teen girls will really love.


Sports Champions covers all grounds from a little hyper kid ( the 5 year old was beating her older brother at Gladiator Duel because she be going off with the controller)

to my 56 year old aunt that's into working out she loves the Volleyball game & is talking about getting a PS3 for this game & the Get Fit with Mel B game.

Sports Champion is easy to pick up & play so kids & older people can just play & hardcore enough to make you practice to try to become the best at it.

here is my 12 year old niece playing Sports Champion she is pretty good at all the games. I think I'm going to have to buy 2 more controllers so I can take her on in Archery next time she comes over.

Historically, pink used to be a boy's colour and blue a girl's. IMO it's stupid to assign assocaitions to electromagnetic radiation frequencies. After all, we don't call 2,400 Hz a boy's frequency and 3,600 Hz a girl's frequency; nor do we consider 248MPH a boy's speed and 312MPH a girl's speed. All OT.

You're awesome

There should ideally be an XMB level calibration that's uniform across games, but we all know what Sony is like in being sensible regards their system level functions and services!

Dont even get me started on that. I'll end up making a web page full of complaints about that.

Oh wait...

I must admit that this is impressive, I could maybe hit the target in archery after aiming for 30sec fully concentrated, and you niece needs only 5 sec or so....do I smell cheating here

Actually I don't need much aiming in archery either, that 5 sec. seems totally doable, especially in the first stages.

+1. I only need 3-5 seconds to aim at difficult targets (distant or mobile) without the guiding arch that is on the bronze difficulty setting. You're forced to aim quickly on the harder difficulties.

Not trying to brag or downplay your niece's skills or anything... she is good for her age. Just saying that I agree that it's very doable.

no cheating she is just fast and this weekend was the 1st time she even touched the Move I had to take a double take when I seen how fast she was doing this, that's when I told her I had to make a video of her playing, this was only her 2nd time playing the Archery game as I was recording her , the 1st time she played she just went right through the bronze cup flawlessly even better than she was doing in this video.

I asked her have she ever played a game like this she said "no I done this in real life at Girl Girl Scouts" and I was looking like thinking good thing I don't have 4 controllers because she would have beat me & I been playing the game lol.

Just kidding. Looks good. When I watched my buddy, he had about the same skill.
But, everytime I see someone else playing I realize that I am indeed the worst Move player around the world
