Good shit son. I don't know if I'll buy it or not though. I mean I live in residence at university right now, I'm not gonna get much use out of it in a small ass dorm room.


I was having a great time in Table Tennis and was no more than 4 feet away from the TV, a pretty small area mind you. My living room area is pretty small where I am staying right now. It also worked fine 2 - 2  1/2 feet away from the screen, which is the area between my couch and my TV.

I need a new living space... saving up for it.

Oh that's not too bad. I easily have that much space.


Yeah I hear ya, lol.

We can afford to move out now, but we figure we may as well bear it for a couple more months that way we actually have enough saved up god forbid something go wrong or if we need to pick up extra shit unexpectedly.

That's good thinking man!

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

my sport champions move bundle just came in the mail yesterday (amazon).  i kind of bounced around a lot trying out each of the games but table tennis, gladiator, and frisbee gold was a ton of fun.  archery was pretty good but i only have one controller so it feels kind of weird to hold a bow with only one hand, i think if i get a second controller it will feel much better.  i didn't personally care for bocee ball but lets be honest here, bocee ball sucks in real life too.

tried a couple of the demos, time crisis wasn't my cup of tea.  i didn't care for the shield mechanic - i want to just shoot things so a different rail shooter will probably be better for me.  eyepet was a complete fail for me.  when the professor guy started telling me about how i had to change my set up to meet this games needs i just said fuck it, i finally got the camera where i want it i'm not changing it now.  going to try tumble and echochrome tonight.

overall, i'm pretty impressed with the hardware.  very responsive, very accurate, very natural.  i was pretty impressed with the wii at first though too but became extreemly disappointed with nintendo once i learned how bad the tech actually was so hopefully that doesn't happen again.  well see you later guys - in that last sentence i had a statement about the wii that wasn't saying how much nintendo is awesome and the best thing ever so dun will be around to ban me shortly.



As for the people asking why I sucked in Table Tennis last night.

I was really drunk. I mean REALLY drunk.

 

I still kicked ass in Volleyball though and I do wish this game had Baseball. Can't wait for the next MLB The Show.

Hey, if it's any consolation, I appreciate the honesty.

 

Also I tried Archery with just 1 Move controller and it isn't nearly as fun. 2x Move is where it's at, same with Galdiator dueling. The movement in Archery feels very natural with 2 and being able to fully control my shield in the Gladiator battle was nice.

I think that is what impresses me most about the Move right now. Using it just feels, natural. I don't feel like I am just doing gestures, but rather I feel like I can do the normal motion required and it responds accordingly.

For the Wii version to be like this you would need to be able to aim a crosshair with the nunchuk as well as the Wiimote, and i'm not just talking about using the 2nd controller to "tilt" and aim. I am talking full control of where it goes, whether it be straight down, straight up, you name it. It feels natural.

Damn women stealing K-Mart coupons!



 Just wanted to point out that a buddy at work informed me that Wii Archery in WSR controls very similar to the version in Sports Champions, minus reaching for the quiver to get an arrow. He says you can aim your shot with the nunchuk?

I need to try this out now, but I don't have a motion plus.

Im telling you right now, practice table tennis. You cant just try to slam it down people throats you need to guide the ball the same as in real life. Once you figure it out its insanely rewarding.


I actually find it too easy, which makes me think that there are loads of assists on. I feel like I could play most of the shots that I am playing, but less frequently, and I don't actually feel I am quite doing the right thing

So far, I just have 1 move controller and sports champions. I have enjoyed the game so far, but I feel I am suffering because I am too close to my TV and I don't quite have enough room to move...

The other slight problem is also due to my proximity to the TV. My TV is basically on the floor, and I sit on the floor, so it is an issue when standing up close to it, so the way to get it to work is to tilt the PS Eye back up... but then I have to adjust the move when I try and playing sitting down which is quite annoying

I have ordered a second move, and a navigation controller as the demos of RUSE and Heavy Rain got me very excited. I am very impressed with the precision and comfort of the controller. Having said that, the curved shape means that I find it hard to be sure precisely what angle the controller is at when playing table tennis, as it does not mimic the shape of the table tennis bat's handle, but I reckon the curveyness is best for most things

Playing on a higher difficulty level would probably change your thoughts on table tennis...



Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

Just started playing some Volleyball and let me tell you something. The PSEye definitely makes this thing know what you're doing. It asked me to push the ball up with arms over my head. I did and it worked as expected.

However, I tried keeping my arms lower than my shoulders and flicked the controllers up. It didn't work.

I tried keeping my arms lower than my shoulders and push up underhand. It didn't work.

I tried keeping my arms lower than my shoulders, turned my hands in the way you're supposed to do it. It didn't work.

 

Unless you actually bend your hands back and push straight up above your head, as you're supposed to do, that motion doesn't work.

Pretty impressive and I actually like it.

I must say I'm quite surprised at this. Volleyball seemed like a waggle fest when I played it, I was making random movements and doing just fine. It's the one mode in the game that's disappointed me in terms of controls. Everything else has been great.

Here's how it works basically. You hold the wiimote in your right hand and the nunchuck in your left, you pull back with the nunchuck as if that's the hand you're holding the arrow with and then you aim how you would naturally aim.

Good to hear you like it, I'm still waiting for the right game for me as I bought mine without a game. The only exciting demoes so far are R.U.S.E. (but I don't like RTS, so whatever...), Heavy Rain (fuck yeah!), echochrome ii (pretty sweet) and Beat Sketcher (I'm having loads of fun with this, even if it is incredibly simple xD), everything else was pretty meh, one way or the other.
