Thanks again so much Sony and PlayStation. The official North American release date is in fact September 19, Hope that cleared things up for you. Glad you liked it! This is a living document, so it will get better with time. Nope, Archery does not require two controllers. For those of you still confused about the actual release date.
Although Sony says the release date in NA is Sept. This way players would already have two motion controllers for games that require them. I think it would have made the PlayStation Move more appealing to some and maybe more developers would have released patches that would update titles to support the PlayStation Move.
Here is a fabrication I made of what I wished the PlayStation Move would have been and for you to get a better idea of what I am talking about. Woo-Hoo nice.
Do you know when Subway will send out the PlayStation Move Bundles that people won due to their contest? My hat is off for you! Thanks much! My goal was to create the most complete FAQ possible. We have a couple of omissions, such as full game launch lineup with dates, that will be added soon.
Glad you like it and thanks for the kind words! Wow this is actually a great FAQ. Any word on Infamous 2 supporting move? Also — is it safe to assume that the PSN move offerings Tumble, any demos, etc. Thanks for the great FAQ. As you or someone often replied this infamous question regarding using one MOVE Controller on one hand and DualShock 3 Controller on another hand, right? I find that strange that you went ahead with this strategy…Perhaps I am wrong, but the reason for my asking is because I am lefty hand.
Is there a time frame for it? The more I think about it, the more I wish they just added a sphere on the nav controller. Its less confusing on what I need and dont need and it also adds more possibilities to games.
Mostly excited about Kung Fu Live though which only requires the camera but hopefully there are some interesting titles down the line. Just a question about the mad catz gun attachment accessory for play station move.
I was wondering if you can use that to play MAG or resident evil gold edition? I already have the eye, so I gotta buy the 2 controllers, how can I get the 2 games that come with move? Can any of them be played without Move for the next 10 days? Thank you. Are you seeing games for sale somewhere? I think EyePet does too, but let me look into that.

Draven71 September 7, at pm PDT. What a dull day on the blog. Not a single upcoming game I see that uses it catches my eye either Ehhh. Anddo September 7, at pm PDT. How can I get a demo disk if i already have the camera and dont wanna buy a bundle? Berae September 7, at pm PDT. If retailers have Moves in stock earlier, did Sony authorize them to sell them earlier??
My pleasure! Will there be any games, XMB, etc. Sure thing! And Sorcery, too. Glad it was helpful. There will be more updates to come!
Very informative! Trieloth September 7, at pm PDT. Lots of questions anwsered! Thanks alot for the info, I will be getting Move goodies asap!
It was a labor of love. Was this article helpful? What went wrong? I found the article confusing. The article is out of date. It's pretty rudimentary stuff so far, but the sort of indie studios currently concentrating on digitally distributed games may well end up doing more imaginative things with the technology than the larger more well-established companies.
Here are a few current and forthcoming titles…. It's an impressive implementation of the core technology — plus, the game also supports 3D for an even more immersive challenge. According to Joel, this is another favourite in the Official PlayStation Magazine office: "What could've been little more than a hugely impressive tech demo has been turned into a virtual quasi-Jenga game that alternates between being pleasantly relaxing and totally infuriating.
No other title showcases the precision of the tech as well, and the multiplayer quickly gets more competitive than you'd expect. Hustle Kings The wonderfully authentic pool sim from indie team VooFoo Studios now offers Move support, allowing players to take shots with the motion controller.
As close as you can get to playing on a real table without actually being able to balance a pint on the side. Planet Minigolf As an interesting antidote to the disappointing Tiger Woods implementation, this crazy golf sim by Budapest-based ZEN studios, already offers a patch for Move support.
A critically acclaimed indie release on PC, this should be a massive hit on PlayStation 3. Killzone 3 The latest gritty futuristic shoot-out from Dutch developer Guerrilla is getting Move support. According to CVG , the Move controller handles your aiming, and you need to point it off screen to move your view around. Here's a video of it being demonstrated at gamescom. Killzone is due out in February. Virtua Tennis 4 The latest instalment in Sega's tennis odyessy, allows you to use the Move as a racket, employing its rotational-sensing abilities to pull off spin shots.
We played it last week and it's looking glorious. It's out next year. The Move and navigation controllers can be moved to aim and shoot your guns. This is the Move title that's really got game journalists excited… It's due out early next year. The Fight: Lights Out A gritty, underground boxing sim, with lots of nasty-looking men going at each other in dingy car parks.
Players can use two Move controllers, one in each fist, to pull off a range of jabs, uppercuts and haymakers. Here's a demo from gamescom. The Shoot Every motion controller needs a decent on-rails shooter and this is Move's.
In this article, we'll explore how. PlayStation is a well-established brand, and Sony played it safe with the overall design of the Move by closely adhering to an aesthetic gamers would recognize. Like the PlayStation 3 controller, the Move remote is matte black plastic, with four small face buttons near its top bearing the familiar PlayStation symbols: X, O, square and triangle.
The four small buttons flank a larger center button marked with the Move logo. The Move controller's slight hourglass shape and button placement help guide the user's hand into place, since the thumb is meant to rest over the center Move button. Since the PlayStation Move is all about motion, it can get away with fewer in-game actions springing from button presses; hence one dominant, large button. The final button on the face of the controller bears the PlayStation logo and can sync the controller to the console and access the PlayStation 3's dashboard.
The typical start and select buttons for pausing and options rest on the sides of the controller near the top. Finally, on the back of the device is a concave trigger appropriately marked with a T for gamers to cradle with an index finger -- perfect for first-person shooters or any motion control trying to simulate a hand grip [source: Mikhailov ]. Of course, there's the impossible-to-overlook sphere resting atop the Move wand.
It even glows! As we'll explain in the next section, that glowing ball is actually what allows the PlayStation eye camera to track the controller's movement. Attaching a bulbous, glowing sphere to the top of a device is one way to make it stand out, but the PlayStation Move's ball isn't just for looks -- it's actually an integral part of the controller. Working in tandem with Sony's PlayStation Eye camera, which comes included with the Move bundle, the ball allows for 3-D motion tracking in real-time.
When multiple Move controllers are used simultaneously the PlayStation 3 supports up to four at once , it's easy to tell them apart by the color of the sphere. The ball's primary function, however, is providing a visual reference for the PlayStation Eye. Those specifications translate into a very quick response time, meaning actions the PlayStation Eye perceives are displayed on the screen with minimal delay or lag [source: Sony ].
Things get interesting when the Move comes into play: The PlayStation Eye has been programmed to recognize the exact size and shape of the ball on top of the Move remote. Once the Move controller is visible to the camera, it's able to detect the exact positioning of the ball in 3-D space. By tracking the size of the ball and easily following it, thanks to the glowing LED the PlayStation Eye can accurately tell where the ball is at any time.
In addition to tracking the ball's coordinates, the PlayStation Eye can identify human faces and perform head tracking -- once it recognizes the people in front of it, the Eye can accurately follow the movements of their heads, but not quite as accurately as following the Move's sphere -- after all, people don't come in an exact size and shape! This entire process can be carried out within the span of less than one frame of movement out of 60 per second thanks to the power of the PlayStation 3's processor [source: Joystiq ].
The video interface isn't the Eye's only ability. It can also pick up audio via an array of four microphones. Primarily, though, the Eye's task is keeping up with the Move remote's location.
