VIDEO: Sony's First Move Ad Rags on Competition

kinda funny but really just ridiculous

i agree it is funny and bad at the same time

Funny guy.
Hate the name "Move" however.

Of course they didn't mention only two can play at a time...but its got Buttons!!

this sucks

MOtion controls are dumb. When will consoles learn. I sold my Wii because playing Madden 10 was so frustrating. Only kids want to swing their arms around while playing a game.

What's ridiculous is the big glowing ball on the end of the controller. It's hard to take it seriously with that big disco ball on the end...

Noobzilla: I don't understand why you bought the Wii in the first place.

Whats with the glowing ball?

I don't particularly care for Sony, but I have to say I find their commercials really entertaining and that guy in them is hilarious. Is he really a VP at Sony?

^
I think the ball is the motion tracking device. Like the balls all over those suits actors wear when their movements are being tracked for CGI movies/games.

In any case, that was a really funny ad. Anyone who can't appreciate the effort put into it is biased and/or over-sensitive.

Kudos Kevin, and Sony.

I enjoy the Kevin Butler commercials. This one lacked the quick and surprising humor of previous commercials. The "2 words Mon-tage" one was surprise funny with Kevin in a half baked 80s rock getup. My favorite so far is tie between the slim leaked release commercial and the grandma watching blu-ray movies.

"With a stick!"

If Project Natal has 3D games... Death to PS3

Hmm... instead, let's imagine a PC gaming future in which developers code to take simultaneous advantage of both Razer's Sixense AND MS's Natal (which is said to be PC compatible)

Hold you hands like a gun...

Now you are holding a stick with buttons like a gun...

hmmmmm calibration required...
whats the difference between a small guy holding two move's at arms length and a big guy with really wide shoulders holding them closer to his body

schwiing,
4 players are possible with 4 controllers. It's only limited to 2 players when each player needs 2 controllers to play. The only game that I would want 4 or more players playing at once is a game like smash brothers, and even that would only need 1 controller.

counselmancl, RazberyBandit,
Yes, the ball is a MOCAP tracker for tracking the wands movements. The software with the eye can also track basic / relative body position, and then calculate the exact position based on the wand's 3D placement. They showed that off at E3 2009 with the sword and shield demo.

dman3k,
The PS3 already supports 3D from a firmware update, and Natal is still only relevant when you're facing the screen, so how doe 3D make it any less useless considering it takes 10~15% of the processor just to run, and with slight control lag? Natal will be good for the dorky games like they demoed with the use your body to stop the ball... It's not going to be good for mainstream gaming where people like something tangible in their hands. As a game developer I have little hope in Natal to be Microsoft's saving grace.

reichscythe,
I have drivers for N64, Wii Mote, PS3, PS2, and Xbox360 controllers on my computer. Natal and the Move controllers will all be supported with some basic interface drivers if someone is willing to write them. There's nothing preventing any of them from working with your computer.

Taking pokes at Wii..... Now what? Another add campaign battle like AT&T vs. Verizon. Mines better, no, mine is. wah wah wah.

Seriously, if you can't promote your own product without crackin on another company, why even make the video. Makes you look childish.

Stupid video, annoying as hell actor, stupid name for a product!!

I bough a Wii for the same reason everyone did. I though it would be fun, and it was for a little bit. Then it just got old rather quickly. Then again, I'm a PC gamer for the most part. Only thing consoles are better at are sports and racing games.

Then I sold my Wii because the controls were terrible in Madden 10, and I've never looked back.

I understand some people can't afford gaming PCs and that making games work on a PC might make their head hurt. For those people and those people who like to swing their arms around there are consoles.

damn that grenade toss was awesome!!!

"Who wants to pretend their hand is a gun?"
"piu-piu-piu-piu..."
That cracked me up, Natal will suck.

Funny. He has a lot of good points. Just hate if you want to use the subcontroller, you can only use two or three on a system.

This or natal might be nice, I hate looking like a kid with down syndrome dancing, everytime i play wii.

ROFL @ all these PS3 fanbois saying Xbox 360 cannot handle 3D games at all.

I only have a PS3, nothing else. Heck, the last console I got before the PS3 is a Super NES! I'm must be SOOO biased!

I'm sure the 1/1000 ms lag processing time that supposedly use 10-15% of processing power means Xbox 360 cannot handle 3D games along with Natal even with their superior graphic cards. Such ignorance!

Sony is giving us lectures about motion controlling when all they did was give half the amount of players on a console from what the Wii offers for years now? If Apple is suing HTC for Android I think Nintendo should go ahead and drug Sony around some courts for "Move" to teach them when they have to keep their mouths a bit more shut

But hey, Its all about innovation this gen of consoles. There is nothing that Sony's PS3 has and isn't ideas from Wii and 360. From Wiimotes to the online services they offer, up to achievments ( trophies ). I do have a PS3 so I do have one more reason to have a clear opinion. When I see stupid behavior from a company that shouldn't be allowed to talk this time around ( Sony ), I say it.
