Playstation Move Games

The Shoot and Time Crisis both had demoes, and the full game is out now. Hopefully TTP / iWaggle can show this has changed and was indeed the result of some early software driver implementations, if he hasn't already tweeted about it. Again also note that some pointers only use the gyro, and others use the full 3D positioning.

Another important part of calibration is consistency. I've noticed people at my house will occasionally calibrate like it's a light gun game, and then play using only their wrist. That said, Zipper has found a way to make even this strange calibration work without any drift, so I don't feel it'll be a problem at all for any future titles, unless they insist on using their own implementation from scratch

That said, it's entirely possible that a few more games down the line (to include Time Crisis and The Shoot) may not have the best pointing in the world (rather, without drift) as they were rather late in development when Zipper got their pointing 'perfected'. You never know though!

If it only happens in some titles, and these titles use the same tracking approach, then it should be a software thing. May be their smoothing algorithms over-compensate.


EDIT:

I like the way you think Mr Patsu (you are a guy right? - forgive me i haven't paid too much attention)

Ha ha, unfortunately, most of the time, I don't think when I post. Don't follow grammar and spellings, just keywords. That way it captures my first thought better.
Guy yes, but in PS Home -- if I ever go back -- you may see my female avatar.

I was thinking about the old PC game "Battlezone II" and how much i friggin loved that game when i was in high school. I remember playing it and thinking that this kind of genre blending between RTS & FPS would be the natural progressive end point of all RTS games.

Now MOVE is out i cannot even help but swoon over the thought of a sequel designed around PS Move controls... Or even a different IP but with the same concept of being able to build buildings and train troops, while being able to run around in FPS mode and even get inside the vehicles that you spent resource making.....

They seem to be busy with something, I don't know what.

It's software implementation.

There's no need to worry.

I've just looked up some MEMS research on noise, and it hadn't occured to me (although it's obvious now I stop and think about it) that there is inherent noise in the readings. Thus the software fix is going to have to be filtering, which hasn't found it's way into the current crop of titles. I'm a bit surprised by that, and the Move engineers didn't try a stationary mount test like iWaggle!

Move will interfere with Tourne's background recording (probably because they use the same reserved SPU, and Tourne supports AVC recording):
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/10/21/ps_move_torne_issue/

According to Sony, if Torne begins recording while you're playing games with Move, the PlayStation Eye peripheral that picks up Moves motions may become unstable. The result is that the controller could lose calibration and the current game could suffer slowdown issues.

Sony's notice said that Torne users should be aware of this issue when they set the device's simultaneous record option to on. It did not say if a fix is on the way.

PlayStation Move hits here tomorrow along with games like Big 3 Gun Shooting, Kung Fu Riders and Me & My Pet.

EDIT:
Tourne background recording also cannot run in Blu-ray mode.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

That's kinda weird. Are they doing any form of transcoding on the video feeds?

 

[patsu]

Tourne 2.0 supports AVC compression so that the output file is smaller.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Okay. If that's optional and you can just dump the video stream to HDD, there shouldn't be an impact.

PlayStation Move Echochrome Pushed Back: (Japan)
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/10/22/echochrome_move_delay/

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced today a one month delay in the release of Mugen Kairo Hikari to Kage no Hako, known in the English speaking world as Echochrome 2. The game will miss its November 18 date and instead arrive on December 23.

...

Echochrome 2 is a PlayStation Move exclusive game. You hold the motion controller like a flashlight, and attempt to alter shadows to create paths that guide a silhouette character to the goal.

This one I will buy when it's in US.

Didn't know ProStroke Golf is out already.

Got my copy today.
[size=-2]Now to seek out my ex-Golf buddies.[/size]

Checked with the Gamestop folks if they received any Move controller lately (Last time was 3 weeks ago). They did receive 4 more, but they are out again. The bundles are still there. So I asked them if they ever moved ? Manager said they did sell the bundles, but Sony shipped more to make sure they are stocked. Sounds good.

 

[JPT]

Not been able to find Prostroke Golf in Norway :/

 

[patsu]

May be they shipped low ? My store only has 2 copies.

Tried The Shoot on the included demo disc with the SC bundle and I'm VERY impressed with how it plays. After calibration, the cross-hairs line up nearly perfect if you hold the Move controller like a gun. Just like SC, the tracking is perfect as well with very minor lag (which is probably caused by my TV, which has ~30ms of lag). This has gone from a maybe to a must buy. If Time Crisis feels as good as this, I may just pick that up as well. I was also contemplating on picking up the gun attachments, but The Shoot has sold me on those as well.

EDIT: Bought the official charger for home. I might buy the Triple Charger for my office.

Not been able to find Prostroke Golf in Norway :/

I received my copy of John Daly Prostroke Golf a week ago, must buy for all golfers. I placed an order on thehut.com whey they had discounts, cost 33 euros including shipping to home address in Finland. /me happy golf winter season is secured now (my real life golf club is closed already, snow blanket everywhere)

We gave up golfing because I was spending too much on it (and not getting any better ). My wife is pretty good. Unfortunately, she also gave up because of backache. I'll see if this one sticks.

Beat Sketch looks kinda fun!

side note it looks like it lets you capture 720P video in the game because all the videos I seen from the game play has been 720P that's pretty cool, what resolution does EyePet let you capture at?
