This evening the folks from bitmob did a live stream of their first look at the Playstation Move. While some aspects of it look interesting, I am not personally sold.
Haven’t we done this before?
Watching the bitmob guys watching themselves on the TV doing goofy things on the TV monitor reminded me of the Eye Toy stuff of old. This in fact, is part of the Move solution. I wonder if this will sit like the Eye Toy and Xbox Vision Camera. We played “You’re in the Movies” with the kids like 4 times before we got tired of that.
Pets, Really?
Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr
Watching them play around with the Eye Pet was comical. I don’t think it gets more gimmicky than than watching your legs on the screen while you play with your virtual pet. I know that this is designed to bring the family together, but come on. This will end up at the bottom of the game pile wile the kids go back to playing farmville.
There is some potential..
The look at the titles that are slated for release here, there are some high points. Not the least of which is the number of 3rd party studios that are putting games out that take advantage of the technology. As referenced in previous post about Wii MotionPlus, that cannot be said. If you have fans of DDR in the house, the elimination of the unwieldy dance mats. That alone may be enough to push this over the edge for some. This holiday season will determine who will take the motion control dollar!
