Back at work and the Sony Move

So, I went back to work today. I work at one of those.....video game....stores you people shop at.

Look, I enjoy theatre, but it don't pay the bills. So the Sony Rep was in and she had the Sony Move. She wanted me to try it. Alright.

OMG THIS THING.

is the wii.

Epic fail sony. Here's my problem with it. It's the same song and dance I was given during the wii. LOOKIT YOUR MOVING THE CHARACTER WHEN YOU MOVE. I was not impressed. Here are the highlights as expressed by the sony rep/ customers.

1. It's more responsive than the wii.

2. It's got ps3 graphics

3. It's got more adult games.

4. Moves smoother and has more options.

k, well. it doesn't fix my initial problem with motion controls. I don't wanna. Literally it's that simple. Motion controls are fine and good, but I don't want to get up and I don't want to move my arms that much.

I did hear one sane regular customer define it wonderfully "yeah, it's like guitar hero, fine when friends are over, otherwise you look like a moron playing alone".

True stories all around. Take what you do for the Wii, how often you play it, how long you play it, and double that. Surprise, you have the Sony Move. I don't want to move that much when I play games. To me, playing games are supposed to be relaxing and a hobby, not exercise and a family adventure.

So why does it even matter? Why am I complaining about it? The Sony Move, and the Kinetic for all purposes, are being targeted to all gamers. Not families and people with friends, no. ALL GAMERS. Stop that. All gamers don't all want that.

Will I buy the Sony Move? No. Will I buy the kinetic? No. Why? Gaming isn't a full body experience. Gaming isn't a group thing in my mind. Will they make rpgs for the move? Probably not. Will they make first person shooters for the Kinetic? Probably not. Will they make anything that takes any amount of time longer than 2 or 3 hours to play? Of course not. You're moving around and using your full body, that get's exhausting. Oh!! Oh there it is! That's my problem with it.

When I game, I sit, or sometimes lay down, and enjoy the relaxing environment. To me, motion controls are single player naked twister. Fun if a crowd is watching, but even then.. after some time it's just sad.

(Also, I paid off my Fallout, Fable 3, Super Scribblenauts, WWE SvR2011, James Bond: Blood Stone, Wii Goldeneye and Dj Hero 2, so.... that's what's next)
