Arguing over which motion controller is better? What year are we in again? Sony has said that its upcoming magic 'em up Sorcery will prove that the PlayStation Move is superior to both the Wii and Kinect, claiming that it's more "hardcore" than other motion games.
"What we're trying to do with this ... it's more hardcore than most motion games are," said Sony's Brian Upton. "Most motion games are intended to be very, very casual. They have an almost Simon Says quality to them. We wanted something that would appeal to a more hardcore audience and would have depth and complexity.
"I think this title does an excellent job of showing what makes Move a better and different system than other motion controls that are out there. It's tighter, it's cleaner, it's more precise -- I don't think you could do a game like this on either Kinect or Wii. I don't think technically they'd be able to support this kind of gameplay."
Sorcery has looked promising ever since it was announced five billion years ago, but it really takes more than a single game to make a machine. When the Move is capable of so much, yet insists on games like Carnival Island, I don't think it matters if you're "better" than the competition's hardware. Software makes the system.

Thouroughly enjoyed the fight and Killzone 3 and MAG with the move though.
Damn it, I really want that Sharpshooter back.....
Argument Invalid...
Can't say I've really played anything that justifies the expense.
They can all roast in a fire for all I care.
Then again so can the Wiimote, but I feel that the Move is far more accurate due to the increased camera resolution.
gamers still don't care about waggle. more at 11.
I really doubt Sorcery is worth shelling out all that extra money, when I can get IMO better games for cheaper on an iPhone, or a Wii for that matter. Unless Sorcery is more groundbreaking than say, Skyward Sword, I still ain't getting Move. But that's just me.
Why do think people can beat Nintendo by BEING Nintendo?
(Quote Stolen from Jim Sterling)
I hope this game is a success, and uses Move well. Other than that, I hope other games follow BioShock Infinite's lead and support Move for FPS titles. FPS games are why I bought Move in the first place.
Translation: Until you have a library of compelling* motion control based games ..... no one cares.
*shovelware need not apply!
Hmm you do have a good point, FPS are one place that motion control potentially fits quite well ^^
Also, don't know one person with a PS3 who owns a Move.
x2!
This game looks neat and all and my lady friend may play it but it doesn't really interest me that much.
My move is collecting dust, I really want to try a Cabella game...yeah I just typed that, lol.
you mean that ultra generic Harry Potter wannabe? LMAO.
let's not even touch move controls in standard games cause those suck even more(MAG sucked, Socom 4 was unplayable, Resistance 3 was terrible and Killzone 3 while having ok controls at best was downgraded to shooting gallery with occasional on-foot section).
the fact that even ports from Wii have worse controls on ps3's Move than Wiiremote WITHOUT Motion Plus proved that Move is the worst motion controller. hell, launch line-up from Sony itself proved it long ago.
If you have Children,the Kinect or Wii are a much better choice though.
The only advantage the Move has over the WiiMotion+ is the PS Eye.
Everything else is exactly the same.
I own all three, but I got over the Wii and the Move in less than a month of purchase. I still use my Kinect. Personally, I think the Wii should die in a fire because I really hate trying to play Metroid with that controller. They could have at least provided us an option to use a 'cube controller so I could enjoy the game proper. I tried twice and it sucks the fun out of it for me....it's too forced.
The Move is probably the most accurate, but the setup is a bit annoying. I purchased KZ3 and the sharpshooter but haven't bothered to try it yet. At the end of the day....I'm playing with a controller on the 360 and mostly use the Kinect for voice commands and get-togethers.
Best buy has a deal with the sharpshooter bundle. It comes with Resistance 3, Killzone 3, Playstation move camera, wand, and navigation controller, and the sharpshooter attachment for
for $100. Might want to jump on that.

-Me: o.o' *walks away*
"Includes the PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter, one PlayStation Move motion controller, one PlayStation Move navigation controller, one PlayStation Eye camera, Resistance 3 game and Killzone 3 game"
Resistance 3 was definitely not terrible, it was a good game. I just had to put that out there.
