Playstation move

Last week one of the students of our class decided or came up with the idea to bring the move to school that week. I was pretty excided about it I always played on the WII a couple of years and I didn’t even used the move or I heard already some good roomers about the move. Especially when I heard that the move is much more precise and in this message I am going to write an whole story about it. I also thought it was really nice opportunity to test the move first and then I am going to buy it when it is has a good test result of course.


When you see the two controllers of the WII and the Playstation Move you don’t see much different between the two except for the big light bulb on the top of the Move. More or less that is not the only different between the two. The first time I had the move in my hand it felt already better then the WII remote it fits better in your hand so no more bricks in your hand and it is also has a lot less weight. I only tested the controller with the big light on top of it and not the one on the left of it yet so I cant tell you more about that. And no caution about the light bulb its made out of rubber so it can not break on top of it.

Then we got the density and the precision of the Move. Already to start with you can buy the move different ways you only buy the controller and you can also buy the Eye move with the controller why? Ill explain. You can use the move without having the Eye to register everything every one knows the Playstation 3 uses the sixaxis. But to optimalize the density of your move and precision you use the Eye Move to calibrate before you start a game when you are used to it then it takes about 10 seconds to do a small work out before starting a game. 

When you buy the whole pack with the move and the Eye move you also get a demo disc with games coming this year for the move. So I only played with the demos so far and it was a lot of fun. I already have the WII and have enough experiences with it to compare with others. The first thing about the WII is you don’t have to stand to do certain moves. You just sit down and relaxed move your hand a little and you are playing the WII. With the move well you always start experimenting so I was standing there with the move in my hand and we started ping-pong. The first thing I noticed is you cant stand right in frond of it you actually have to stand with your shoulder to the cam. And then still as a WII user I am used to the short move from the wrist (THAT DOESN’T WORK!) if you do the same as with the WII he just doesn’t reach the ping pong ball.
You can also do really creepy things with your hand when you have to serve that’s not naturally but its another thing that the move is really accurate. The light bulb of course is one of the sources that the move is really accurate the cam registers the bright light from the move controller.

Our teachers asked us later to split up in groups and start working on some game concepts original for the Playstation Move. Our group came up with the following ideas; Snake, fruit ninja, cooking, fishing and a few more to safe for later.
