Forums - Gaming - Playstation Move Vs. Xbox 360 Kinect: Metacritic

I agree with the others. You can't add games like Heavy Rain, Resident Evil as they simply were not made with the controller in mind. They don't actually change the game one bit. You shake the old controller, you shake the new controller. It doesn't actually change the game. It is a bit like plugging in a joystiq to play games on the PC. You don't need it to play the games and most people decide not to.

If the game was designed for the hardware then it should count. Because otherwise your just going to end up with a lot of games in the list when they eventually go compatible with the hardware. Like for example say MS decided to make say Plants vs Zombies Kinect compatible (it is just a matter of time) then should that count? The same for games like Fable, if they add a Kinect bit to the game which i have no doubt they will eventually then should that count?

My opinion is no. Games that were designed from the ground up around the technology should only be used. Games like Sports Champions and Kinect Sports. You can only play it with the hardware, you can't play it without it. If however a game is created giving you the option of both experiences i.e Forza 4 where you can use a controller and have one type of experience, or use no controller and have a totally different experience then it should count as technically they are two games in one. They were designed with the two different user bases from the start in mind. But for games like Heavy Rain it is as i said just like pulling out the mouse and putting in a joystiq. The controller is not key to the game, it doesn't effect the game at all.

What I don't understand is why the general mood on this site seems to be "Kinect will sell for a month or two before fading" and "Move will have long legs". I mean, I'm looking at the reviews and the metascores for Kinect seem pretty solid. Hell, I'll even go as far as to say that the Kinect's launch titles seem to be more well recieved than the Move's counterpart. So why do most people insist that Kinect will fade out before too long and Move will last for a long time to come?

Answers I will not accept:

1. Reviews are teh biase!

2. Microsoft is paying off every reviewer in the industry.

3.Kinect SUCKZ! LOLOLOLOL



So if Microsoft decides to add some very basic voice commands such as "Xbox, open weapon interface!" or even just "Xbox pause!" to games such as mass effect, halo, gears, etc we should include those scores too huh? My reasoning isn't a big jump from yours. Your implementing new controls/features to existing games or tacking em on to new ones.



Yikes, what is it about motion games that most devs can't even to make quality games?



You failed to include the titles that make PS Move great

Here I'm going to track the meta scores for all the games that release for the PS Move and X360 Kinect to see which motion controller has the best line up in terms of sole motion sensor games by the end of 2010, I will probably extend this into 2011 however ...

Current games such as Heavy Rain and RE5 will not be added, this is specifically motion controller games only.

how convienient seen as heavy rain and re5 actually have high scores..... if you really want to do an informative comparison you should include heavy rain and re5 imo



Socom 4, KZ3, LBP2 , child of eden (kinect as well) should be added for the PS Move 

sure they are hybrids but they count as Move titles because majority of future move titles will be Hybrids, hell even Kinect future titles will be hybrids  

Also NBA2k11 should be added. All future games Post launch that have Move apart of there core game play should be added to the list 

 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

kinect hybrids? that would make the whole "you are the controller" gimmick obselete for Kinect LOL                        but yeah i think what differenciates move and kinect is that you can use the original controller and motion controller.

So many butthurt Sony fans in this thread. The criteria for which games make the list make perfect sense to me. Why would we include RE5 in the list when the scores for that game are based off non-Move controls? It would be stupid.





Even though reviews tend to prefer the device I prefer as well:

Never trust reviews.
