My Reasonable Move Impressions

Good honest review.

I tend to agree that the games will Make or Break Move.

There's 3 aspects to this:

1. Will it have AA / AAA games supporting it?

We already know the answer to that: Yes KZ3 will support it, I expect Resistance 3 will support it, I'm picking Sorcery will be a AA game, RE5 Gold edition is another, LBP1 and 2, and of course the first AA game to support Move is Heavy Rain. Then there's the A titles like R.U.S.E and MAG.

2. Will Move work well on AA and AAA games?

There's some indication that people are liking how Move improves the experience of AA / AAA games. There's pre-releasse experience of Heavy Rain with Move. And it seems Socom 4 Move gameplay works well. But there hasn't been widespread use in these games yet, so this question can't be answered yet. One issue may be that using Move for the hardcore games might be fun for a while, but not for 2, 3, 4 hours straight.

3. Knowing 1. and assuming 2. is the implementation on AA/AAA going to be that much better and compelling that hardcore gamers are going to adopt Move for a number of AA/AAA titles?

Hard to know with this. There are some people on this site who are looking forward to using Move with hardcore games, there's others who will stick with DS3 and not give Move a 2nd look for hardcore titles.

For a gaming household with PS3 and with kids under 12 I think Move is gonna be a highly likely purchase despite what the adults think of motion control. Though with Wii also in the house the hardcore gamer (which lets face it is likely to either be the Dad or the teenage older brother) may resist Move for PS3 and insist that the Wii provides all the motion control goodness the family needs and PS3 can stay a DS3 only system.
