Sony takes a jab at Microsoft's Kinect.
What are we, mimes? That's the question Sony's Kevin Butler is asking gamers in the latest PlayStation Move promotion. Located at Yaybuttons.com, the site presents a Flash-based Move controller and entices visitors to press the six buttons.
"See what you did there? You clicked it," the site teases when any one of the six buttons are clicked. "It turns out that buttons are pretty important. Not like 'save the whales' important. More like 'not play games that suck' important. Cuz they help you... control stuff. Controller. Control. Kinda makes sense."
The site goes on to say that some people don't think gamers need buttons, taking an obvious jab at Microsoft. It then offers an example of gaming without buttons, indicating that sniping could be performed by turning your fingers into a makeshift gun.
"Pew! Pew!" Butler teases.
Butler's website goes on to explain the benefits of having buttons, but then rambles on into belly button territory and lint. He eventually explains why voice commands are a bad idea--other players could shout commands that may effect your game simply by passing through. Buttons instead keep the control in your hand.
To partake in the virtual PlayStation Move button mashing, head here. We're actually anxious to see Microsoft's response.
All the mudslinging and hype mean nothing until they're both in the hands of the gamers. I for one think that this could be a cool and important step in the evolution of gaming for both Xbox and PS3, but what are the chances either will be perfect the first try? But its a step forward none the least.
Why is that the end of the story? I thought that was the beginning.
Haven't done anything to enhance it? When it first came out it was pretty enhanced. They just keep upgrading the HDD cause there isn't much to enhance. Everything is already snazzzy!
Giggidy.
Also Move is basically a Wii controller. Worse still the Wii Nunchuk has sensor on it so I can use it as a second motion controller, the PlayStation Move navigation controller doesn't. So I need two PlayStation Move motion controllers to play a boxing game for example, four if I want to play against a friend. I also need to buy the Playstation Eye. These reasons makes it more expensive than what Wii is offering, so no thanks.
