Forums - Sony - First Move Game Scores are Out?!

I'm not writing off Sony. I have always said they make good products. I have many Sony items, TV, HDCamcorder, PS3, etc. I'm just saying that from what I've seen so far, Move provides nothing that I don't already have on my Wii. So, at this piont and time I am leaning to never wanting to purchase a Move set. However, if RE5 is a good game and its Move implentation is like RE4 AND I can see a few more quality titles coming for Move in 2011, then I may just change my mind on that.

But, for these games we've been discussing in this thread, meh, they are clearly the same as many options on Wii and therefore are unoriginal and should be scored as such.

Considering how most games these days are just the same old games from years past with flashier graphics and more content, I think we should just rate everything like crap.

Man, now I really wonder how Uncharted 2 scored so high, or Galaxy 2, or even Fable, how about Smash Bros, or possibly even NSMBWii, that was only done 25 years ago right? How about we also go back in time and rate every single shooter like crap since it is just DOOM or Wolfenstein with flashy graphics and more content?

Smash Bros came out on the N64, Gamerankings score of 78. Then Melee came out. It is Smash Bros with better graphics and more content. Gamerankings score of 90. Brawl came out, not a big difference graphically from Melee, but it adds content. Gamerankings score of 93.

According to your logic Melee should have gotten a 6 and Brawl should have gotten a lot less than a 93.

MKWii scored pretty well, but is it much different from the Mario Karts of old? Yeah you can say you get to use the Wiimote to control it like a steering wheel, but is that so much different from the numerous amount of games, such as Gran Turismo that have been played for a long time with actual steering wheels? 

You know, it probably should have scored a bit lower when you think about it...

 

Your argument is real bad superchunk.

I think in some cases you have a point, but in others the sequels or later editions add tons of content and provide a wholly new experience. My point is none of these games provide a new experience. Just different graphics.

Well about the reviews I expected because most of the attempts at launch so far haven't been necessarily "deep" attempts to fully make use of the move controller.  As stated in IGN's section, it was quite disappointing to see the drastic differences in quality.  How some developers put effort into it and got good results while others did the opposite and got such poor results.  And that's really where I got this reoccurring theme in the reviews is that you don't really see any launch titles that have yet justified how much you are going to spend to get to play these games.  And that's kinda where I'm sitting that I like that reviews are saying that Move is very capable hardware that gets the job done, but I'm waiting for a game that gives it enough value to justify the price.  I'm really hoping SOCOM 4 will be that one too.  Looking good so far.

I love how all sorts of people who openly dismissed games such as Wii Sports as casual shovelware they'd never touch, are now falling over themselves to proclaim the glory of games like Sports Champions. XD


Who are these people?

I still love playing Baseball in WiiSports. My enjoyment from it is why I am looking forward to Move support in MLB11 The Show.

I wasn't talking about you specifically. But there are a LOT of these people. And not just on VGC, either. But that's okay, they finally, finally get to experience motion control gaming. Only took them 4 years. XD

Can I use the excuse that we've been hearing for so long on low rated motion control games?

 

These reviewers just don't get PS3. They hate PS3. They are butthurt PS3 is selling so well.

Being butthurt for something selling "so well" at 3rd place is the most epic butthurt ever.

Do not look at the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 numbers and yet say it is more butthurt than ever.

Great reply

Although I was talking about recent sales, and it currently matching the untouchable god of all gaming machines ever

If the excuse can count for Wii, it can count for PS3!!

Oh. And IGN are SD fanboys. They don't understand what it is to be a true gamer and play games for fun. Not graphics.



                            

The reception seems generally positive so far. The only surprisingly poor review I've noticed is OPM giving Tiger Woods 4/10, so that looks like one to avoid.

I've got the starter pack and Sports Champions on pre-order, and I think I might finally get Heavy Rain and play it with the Move.

TOLD YA SPORTS CHAMPS IS VERY TOP NOTCH



it's the future of handheld

PS VITA = LIFE

The official Vita thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=130023&page=1

Dammit, IT ATE MY POST!  What I was trying to say was:

 

Having played both Sports Champions and Start the Party, I'd honestly reverse the scores.  While neither game is really stellar in my opinion, at least Start the Party tries some wacky new stuff, like the augmented reality haircuts and flyswatting and such.

Sports Champions is a game without a single original idea, and I don't know why so many people are defending it.  They took apart Wii Sports piece by piece, replaced each piece with something else, and then rebuilt Wii Sports with all the new pieces.  So it's basically Wii Sports, in HD, with the Move, but without Nintendo's polish, presentation, or personality, and without Miis.  Now you get a random guy with an afro instead of your own avatars of Jack Black, Robocop, Chewbacca, and Hitler.

But now it's getting reviews better than Deca Sports or Carnival Games.  I guess it's riding the hype of the new controller?  Do all reviewers have to pick one Move game and one Kinect game to pretend they're in love with?
