Playstation ‘Move’ My Impressions

So the news to come out of GDC 2010(game developers conference) is the name of Sony’s Motion Controller. ’Move’ that’s right people, ‘Move’ they obviously really like these action verbs, ‘Go’ really worked well for them.

I liked ‘Arc’ it had some personality, it had made it a bit unique but ‘move’ just sounds like your undermining your customer naming you product with such a literal label. Despite the annoyance of the names there’s more that grinds my slowly moving gears, the hardware is a mere rip-off of the Wii, with a second smaller controller in your other hand, god. I grew up playing playstation games, I grew up playing the Spyro’s and the Crash Bandicoot’s and the PS2 is probably my favourite of all time but this is just ruining my love for sony. I don’t want to be playing the “get the family to play” games on my PS3, that’s why I bought a Wii. If I wanted to play a party game, I would play it on my Wii. The games are cheaper on the Wii, my family can easily turn on the Wii and know what exactly what there doing, but is my mum going to turn on the PS3 and play a little bit of Little Big Planet w/motion, no. The PS3 is a core system and should be aimed at a core audience instead of jumping onto the family game band wagon, and destroying any ing originality that was once in this industry.



I feel like I’ve been spat on the face and shat on by the corporate suits of Sony. I want to be seeing Twisted Metal and Kingdom Hearts 3 not this shit, not a flood of bad games utilizing these stupid controls.

As you obviously tell I’m fuming with rage, so I’m going to stop and try not destroy everything sony in my household.


This blog post was written on the day of the announcement but I put it on my tumblr, I'll be posting all my blogs on CAG and on my tumblr at www.chuckjones.tumblr.com
