then how are three people playing Dance Central?

is it actually 3 player?

I only saw 1 guy being scored at a time during the presentation (even when the two prof dancers joined the dance in the background), but there were 3 characters on screen, so I guess it might be an option.

Move supports 4 players simultaneously and 3 players simultaneously if each player is required to have 2 Moves or a Move Nav. Thread title FAILS.


According to Sony, they've capped support at four Move controllers max.  Yes, the ps3 can support up to 7 bluetooth devices, but that does not seem to be the case in regards to Move in particular.

And your tone was totally uncalled for.

So ameratsu's true feelings come out?  D: shocking! I would have never have known he was a pure fishgirl fanboy out to get others.

In case anybody else doubts the veracity of the claim that Kinect only supports a maximum of two players, this is from Majesco's press release for Zumba Fitness:

Players can also grow that party at home with up to four players on Wii™ and PlayStation Move, and up to two players on Kinect for Xbox 360.

Four players on Wii/ps3, two on 360.

Not sure how important this is? PS2 only had support for 2 players*, I don't think this stunted much of its' growth.  Are there very many simultaneous 4 player games on the Wii? Without dismissing this entirely, maybe forcing people to 'take turns' like in Wii Sports makes it more of a family experience? Everyone focusing on their own screen can sometimes be less social.

*Out of the box.

Wii Sports supported four players simultaneously with doubles tennis.  Bowling and golf were also four players, though given the nature of the sports you do have to take turns.

Between Wii Sports and Red Steel, half the Wii's launch lineup supported four player multiplayer.

Then there's Mario Kart, the epitome of four player games.

I could name plenty more, but Wii Sports and Mario Kart are the two most pivotal games in the Wii's success alongside Wii Fit.  New Super Mario Bros. Wii is right behind them, and it is also four players, though it does use motion controls rather sparingly.

Sorry I meant that feature motion controlling heavily - I'm aware of all the Mario Kart, Smash Brothers and NSMBWii etc. etc.
