Sony: If It Didn't Work On Wii, Don't Try It On Move


Recommended Posts

if you have ever seen the raw data from a Wiimote coming over Bluetooth and showing on your computer, you'll see that while its responsive you cant do everything with it, it measures acceleration and the programmers will have go guess how and where you are holding the wiimote... the only accurate part of the wiimote is the IR tracker in its front, so you could aim stuff on the screen like a gun

on the PS3 move, everything is as accurate as the wiimote's IR tracking, because everything is visually tracked, the acceleration is there to assist the tracking rather than being the only form of tracking

only XY axis is tracked visually, Y axis is based on the size of the ball. ow as for accuracy, it's only as accurate as the res of the camera. which isn't THAT high, and gets lower the further away you are.

Rotation however is done exactly like the Wii... so in essence, it's all done just as the wii, only with a less accurate triangulation. It pretty much is a wii controller, with a different sensor bar.

Really? Source, please.

pretty much every sales stat for games, well actually every, shows the numbers that attachment rate for the wii is abysmal compared to the rest.

so basically they've watched what games have failed on the wii and which ones have succeeded, and are going to focus on the successes, kinda makes sense really tbh

Which games are those? My understanding is that the only successful Wii titles have all been 1st party Nintendo games that will definitely not make it on the PS3. :shiftyninja:

They are talking about how an extreme majority of Wii games have motion sensing waggle added on when it doesn't add to the game at all. Wii has an extreme amount of shovelware with half-assed motion sensing shoved into it.

Sony wants to prevent that from happening. If they can prevent that, it will be nothing like the Wii. :p

it wont be different. you cant rip off a product without it having the same flaws. Look at second life A.K.A home

No, they're admitting that the Move is so much like the Wii they have to take measures to make sure Wii shovel-ware doesn't appear for the PS3.

Well stated. If it looks like a Wii - mote, walks with a nun-chuk mote and controls like a Wii mote, it's a Wii HD.

Minus the shovelware.

As dev kits come down in price, expect to see small starter studios try to make a cheap buck for their first games. Usually by copying another game's format, aka the copy cat clone shovelware you see on the Wii, ever since it was released.

Sony can ask them not to, but for lots of the studios it's how they start out - before they either make something decent or absorbed into another studio.

I hope so because thats really all the wii has aside from the 1st party games and resident evil. Everything else is pure garbage. Ps2 had alot of this going on at one point with all the garbage kiddie games but luckily none of that crap started getting made for ps3.

It certainly bares a striking resemblance to the Wii-mote but I didn't think that the Wii recognised depth of the controller? Maybe I'm wrong there having never used one.

As mentioned though the PS Eye is only VGA at best resolution

The PlayStation Eye is capable of capturing standard video with frame rates of 60 hertz at a 640?480 pixel resolution, and 120 hertz at 320?240 pixels

Will be interesting to see if this does have any impact on the accuracy of the movements.

Don't get me wrong, I hope shovelware doesn't appear for the PS3 (or 360, or anyone) but what I was annoyed at was hearing the following:

[2008, Wii is kicking everyone's asses in sales] "Wii is just a gimmick. Who want to look stupid flailing their arms all around"

[2010, Move is announced] "It's nothing like the Wii! It'll revolutionize gaming!" "But, it controls just like the Wii" "Yeah, well your mother's fat"

Let's face it. Move and Natal exist because the Wii's gamble paid off.

Shovelware is pretty much already on the Live Marketplace and PSN.
