Suda51 concerned by PlayStation Move

[Hedon]

The way PlayStation Move is sold - separately rather than in pairs - is problematic for developers, Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda has complained.

"I'm worried about the style of release of it and concerned about how it will be sold," he revealed in an interview with CVG. "I've heard it's going to be sold separately but you can actually use it in a set at once. Depending on how it is sold, as a developer, you have to change how the game should be made, so I'm concerned about that.

"So we have to think about the possibility where the user has one controller. It's limiting for us when it comes to game development so I guess it will be important to make games that can only be played with a single controller.".

Makes sense, and never really thought of it that way to be honest.

I saw this is a problem to start. They should either include 2 motion controllers, or at least 1 motion and 1 navigation. But just doing everything in a individual pack is horrible. I look at 1 controller and see $40, and go,damn it will cost me $80 for 2, and I see that as more work. Where as if I saw 2 in a bundle for $80, same price, but I'm thinking, that's all I need for it to work, not bad.

Well, Sony needs to sell it first ;) :D

Check Out The Line At This PlayStation Move Midnight Launch

Just before midnight at my local GameStop, one eager Move purchaser stood in line, stepping away to snap this photograph before continuing his devoted vigil.

Ya, but they shouldn't focus on that, and instead focus on what Move has to offer, as being basically the best of both worlds, or it would be if they had a better camera sensor... maybe they will update it soon.

Man, all gamestops look the same lol.

** I still don't see how Kinetic is going to work on games that require you to move around. Will you have to turn and run a bit... Have to see it implemented in games that require you to do more than just stand, wave, and jump :p

That coincides with all their announcements about them not expecting it to sell very well on launch, all that BS - Such face saving cop-out to give them an excuse when the product flatlines on launch.

[shakey]

I really have not seen any advertising for Move at all, besides what is posted here and on other game sites. Sony has yet to put anything on TV, to my knowledge and eyes. This coming from Texas.

[HawkMan]

why waste advertising on a failing product though :p

on that note, I just saw a tv add for move here.

you use a controller.

[shakey]

you use a controller.

But it's all about no controller I thought.... :p

[Hedon]

For kinect only games yes.

For kinect only games yes.

So the other ones will have you holding a controller and still moving about... seems odd.

I'm pretty sure it won't flop on launch day sales, with it not being a game many people I suspect will have either preordered from the internet or will just pick on up on the day. I mean the launch title line up isn't strong so it's no surprise.

As for the price thing, even buying 2 move controllers is massively cheaper than ?130. For me it was a no brainer, and after watching the various videos from the gaming conferences it was pretty clear that kinect was struggling to get any decent titles for launch, none of them looked good at all. I just don't get the whole playing a driving game for example with nothing in your hands, or any accelerate/brake pedals/buttons.... enough said, this isn't the kinect forum so I'll stop now.

Back on topic, I agree with the OP quote. Sony should have included 1 move controller and 1 navi controller.

[firebelly]

I really hope it is not a flop

But

when I was deciding whther to buy this or kinect I was thinking,

ok with me and my wife I will require 2 full controllers (2 move + 2 navi) and an eyetoy, (2*50+2*30+40 = $200)

so why not I go with kinect which both of us can play and is surely a better gimmick than move in any case :D

but yea I do think there has been little to no publicity for Move except word of mouth

[HP_Wizards]

In the UK there are adverts for MOVE on quite a bit...

Well if there are two of you and Kinect looks to suit what needs you have, then yes, go for it dude. :yes:

[TDQuiksilver]

Midnight launches (regardless of console) are such a joke anymore. There's not need to stand in line like a lifeless fool when services such as Amazon offer release date delivery.

More FUD for the toilet.

yeah, now you can go say that in the Move thread :p

[Ji@nBing]

I didn't even know it was out, lol.

Then I assume you think the Wii-mote and Move is odd?

Yeah you're right. Midnight launches are completely dead.

Everywhere you go you can't avoid seeing Halo Reach plastered everywhere

[Hedon]

And that is a good thing. Halo Reach is AWESOME!

[SaltLife]

I've always enjoyed camping out for a midnight launch, or even black friday events for that....

But, I would see NO reason to camp out for the PS Movie, or MS Kinect.

That being said, it is odd they are not offering a 'family pack' that includes everything you need. But I suppose that would be pricey.

Wandered in to Asda (Walmart UK) and they had a display stand for Move but no games or controlers on display. Went to checkout, they had them there, so I bought the starter kit. Also wanted the navigation controller and "No, you can buy another move controller? I don't know what you are talking about"...

[TDQuiksilver]

Yeah you're right. Midnight launches are completely dead.

:rolleyes:

Nobody said they were dead. I was commenting on the need for them in these days when most online retailers will deliver launch titles the same day.
