Playstation Move: Calibration Issues, Poor Games annoy Critics

[Bladexdsl]

consoles or even electronics didn't exist in 1889 though?

Wasn't Motion+ supposed to not be true 1:1?

Either way its crappy that the Move is like this if its true as competition is healthy and keeps companies like Nintendo on the go to stop them getting stuck in their ways.

The only way Sony keeps Nintendo from getting "stuck in their ways" is by getting stuck in Nintendo's ways.

Nintendo seems to be the one coming up with most, if not all, of gaming's great innovations.

lets recap:
d-pad
LR buttons
analog stick
wireless controller
motion sensing

guess your right

Atari 2600 had a wireless controllers

They weren't standard Xbox 360 was the first to have Wireless controllers as standard (I think)

The first official wireless controller made by a first party manufacturer was the WaveBird for Nintendo Gamecube.
Also, the D-Pad was first implemented by Milton Bradley.

none of the stuff is original to nintendo

I surfed and realized this, though many of them were used successfully in gaming by Nintendo first.

Wireless controller was done many times before, I had a PC one before Nintendo did Wavebird.
Motion sensing...yeah Dreamcast did that with that fishing rod and that wasn't even the first one.
Analog stick...Atari did it over ten years before.

I'd call it more of a Joystick.

I'm pretty sure the Atari 5200's controller, was quite like an analog stick as it allowed for sensitive movement. This thread is going to be full of Ninty fanboys hailng the Big N whilst scolding their competitors.

Actually it was a potentiometer-based analog stick. Also the Vectrex had something similar too as well as a number of flight sim controllers.

EDIT: Just looked up that Sony actually released a dual analog flight sim controller before Nintendo released its controller though Nintendo were the first to put one with a d-pad.

In 1982 Atari released their first controller with a potentiometer-based analog stick for their Atari 5200 home console. However, the non-centering joystick design proved to be ungainly and unreliable, alienating many consumers at the time. in other words NOT a real analog stick

When did I say it was an analogue stick? I simply said it was 'like' an analog stick.

The Vectrex one however was self-centering. Think that was released maybe a year after the Atari one.

I'm a huge fan of motion controls, but I'm not getting PS Move. For me, controls are the second biggest factor when it comes to games. Gameplay being first, then controls.

Even at it's launch, I thought it was cool, but I knew Sony was never going to make good games for it (It's hard enough to find good games for the PS3 to begin with, now this narrows it down more. I haven't used my PS3 since God of War Collection and Assassin's Creed II).

I really didn't think it would have any technical issues. This just makes it another reason not to get it.

 

[_Chaz_]

Nintendo had the idea first, and the controller looks almost exactly like a Wii Remote with a bubble on it. Only difference being that it's black and says "Sony".

 

[Scott-105]

If this doesn't get fixed, I won't be getting Move.

No matter how you copy and try sony you will never be better than Nintendo.

 

[Master Mo]

I think the thing people are talking about is how Nintendo successfully introduces and advances those existing technologies to properly work and also make sense in the gaming industry, which often lead to either SEGA or SONY copying it...

But to stay on topic: I don`t know how bad the calibration-need is but if it is just before every match, just to make sure where you are standing exactly (similar to WSR) then I don`t see any problem in this honestly! You can`t blame the tech for not tracking your entire body.

Sony was experimenting with a camera following a glowing ball before the Wii even became public, now you all may continue trolling
