Playstation Move: The official thread

[silentassassin]

Interested in finding out what the button configurations are for the PlayStation Arc? Neogaf poster Ichinisan is claiming that he's seen the latest pictures of the Arc and proceeds to describe them in full detail.

 

 

 

As to the Nunchuck:

"Nunchuk has an analog stick at the front, below that X and O and below that a D-pad. Underneath is L1 and L2. It's actually long, not like the Wii Nunchuk."

 

And now, the Wand:

"As for the Wand it has one very big button on top and then all four facebuttons (X, O, Square and Triangle) and underneath is a big trigger called T."

 

 

To top all of that, he throws in a comment from one developer contact, "It is highly responsive and accurated (the quote I heard was 'Like a quick Wii remote that's right every time')."

 

GDC isn't so far away, and they did say they'll be officially debuting the Arc there, so we'll be seeing it ourselves soon enough.

So not only is a PS3 nunchuck the real deal, but it also wireless. That is according to a 'rock solid' source Future Publishing is currently claiming. Anyhow, stay tuned for all the latest announcements on this device and more as Sony's GDC kicks off later tonight.

OVERVIEW

 

PlayStation®Move offers a new and innovative gaming experience for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system

by fusing realistic, high-definition gaming along with accurate, intuitive control. Consisting of

PlayStation®Move motion controller, PlayStation®Move sub-controller and PlayStation®Eye camera,

PlayStation Move enables sophisticated motion control and immersive gameplay only possible on the PS3

system.

 

PLAYSTATION®MOVE MOTION CONTROLLER

 

The corner stone of PlayStation Move, PlayStation Move motion controller combines advanced motion

sensors, a dynamic color changing sphere, vibration feedback, and an easy to use button interface. Equipped

with three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic field sensor, PlayStation Move

motion controller tracks the precise movements and the angle of the controller. The PS3 system also detects

the absolute position of the controller in 3D space by using PlayStation Eye camera. Highly sensitive

movement tracking can be accurately traced back to the game, allowing intuitive gameplay as if the player

is within the game.

input

o Sleek and Wireless

PLAYSTATION®MOVE SUB-CONTROLLER

 

PlayStation Move sub controller is a supplementary controller, developed to further expand the experience

that PlayStation Move games can offer. It can be used in most PlayStation Move games that require

navigating an in-game character as it replicates the control features of the left side of DUALSHOCK 3 and

SIXAXIS wireless controller into one’s PlayStation Move experience. PlayStation Move sub controller

adds an analog stick, directional buttons and two face buttons into the PlayStation Move's control scheme.

In addition, the sub-controller contains the L1 button, L2 button and L3 button for actions and commands

common in advanced gaming.

 

KEY FEAURES:

o Wireless control completely untethered from PlayStation Move motion controller

o Intuitive navigation of in-game characters

o Easy and intuitive XMB™ menu navigation

o Built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery

o Charge the controller and automatically pair it with the PS3 system via a USB cable (Type

A - Mini-

o Sleek curved body design that easily pairs with the motion controller

 

Note: DUALSHOCK 3 and SIXAXIS wireless controller can be used in place of the sub controller for all games

that are compatible with the sub controller

 

PLAYSTATION®EYE CAMERA

 

As an integral part of PlayStation Move, PlayStation Eye camera is designed specifically to work with the

next generation of PlayStation Move gaming titles being developed for the PS3 system. When used with

PlayStation Move motion controller, PlayStation Eye camera precisely tracks a user’s movement and the

motion controller’s sphere to help bring every move into the game. In addition, PlayStation Eye camera

captures a player’s voice or image and when combined together with PlayStation Move games, will bring a

whole new entertainment experience to user only possible on the PlayStation® platform.

 

KEY FEAURES:

o Engineered to perform in low-light conditions so that the rooms do not have to be lit

brightly for the camera to deliver crisp, perfectly exposed video

o Two position zoom lens for close-up and full body options

o At 60 frames per second, captures a sharp, clear picture at 640 x 480 resolutions

o Frame rate of up to 120 frames per second for improved tracking, responsiveness and

smoothness

o A sophisticated microphone with the ability to reduce background noise and focus on

spoken word for smoother, more accurate speech recognition

[Invictus]

excellent! *busts a move*

[Bulovski]

Nice name, very nice styling - except the bulb at the top. I hope they kill that bulb in the next design change because it jars with the whole sleek look of the PS3.

I liked the street fighting video - except for the minor lag in places it was pretty responsive. Why was the guy holding two controllers and not one controller and one sub-controller? Does that mean people will have to buy additional controllers for fighting games?

 

SOCOM4 - I am not convinced that shooters will benefit from motion sensing. Maybe our fingers will just take some time to get used to it - like adjusting to gamepads from mouse+kb.

the guy was holding 2 controllers..

not sure where the other 1 was secondary controller..even in gladiator he used 2 controllers..

[Invictus]

From what I read, sub controller 'MIGHT' not have motion sensing 'stuff'. Which is why the guy uses two main controllers for fighting.

 

oh and I agree about shooters. move might look good for fun...I doubt it would be great for serious gaming (COD MP ??? nayyyy )

 

 

'The Wii Nunchuk has a sensor that detects motion, more crudely than does the Remote. The PS3's version of the Nunchuk, does not have a motion sensor, according to a developer I was speaking to. There's a chance that is not final, but that is the case with the controllers at Sony's showcase event today. But that's why two-handed boxing-style games were shown with two Moves. On the Wii, those kinds of games are handled, with supposedly less precision, with a Remote and Nunchuk.'

I read that that street fighting game is only 20% done so there's plenty of time for them to tweak it and fix it.

 

I think you can use two MOVEs in fighting games and games like that coz you don't need an analog stick but if you are playing a game like socom, you'll probably have to play with one MOVE and one sub-controller.
