Destructoid - GDC: Sony reveals first PS3 Move game collections

So its called "Move"... yeah, well, I'm calling it a dildo because that's what it looks like. Who would have thought "Wiimote" and sounding like Elmer Fudd would be more marketable?



Games are knock-offs of things that should be familiar to you on the Wii. Except for perhaps Move Party, which incorporates the EyeToy and reminds you why you hated EyeToy and Sony Cambridge to start with.

Its cool the ball is actually a mo-cap ball and the items you use are rendered on screen in place of the Move Dildo, so you'll have a tennis racket that responds like one. Unfortunately, that's about as cool as it gets so far. In real life, you're swinging around something that looks like and probably could be a dildo.

Waving my arms around is one thing, but having to see me look like a retard on the TV screen isn't my idea of a good time, especially when I'm holding something that looks like a dildo. Most people don't like how they look on camera. Mirrors can be more flattering, cameras never are because they never lie.

I was hoping to see something a little more ambitious than this minigame fodder from Sony, but considering who they're trying to grab the attention of, its to be expected. Considering its only come into the picture now, I don't think the mildly superior technology here is going to change many minds or allegiances.

Doesn't help that its just more shit to buy. PS3's already $300 dollars, getting extra Move Dildos and games would put it back over $400. Hopefully this minigame stuff - for the people that will care about it - will be around the $40 or $30 dollar mark, otherwise I don't see this competing at all.

Just for kicks, here's the google of "Sony Dildo."

I would say that if they're going to plagiarize Nintendo, they go all the way and release a solid pink version of this. Girls like pink, yes?

When I first clicked the link and saw the controller I was just like "WTF is that!?!?!".

You are right. It does look like a dildo, with a bunch of buttons on it. I just hope they make games you can use with out it, and keep using the original controller.

So this is why they haven't released a version of Rez on Wii where you can set up the 2-4 player controllers as Trance Vibrators. Sony had something with even more phallic potential in development. Incredible.

It will be mere moments before the Penny Arcade guys are all over this.

Well to be honest all of the motion sensing things have at least some phallic connections:

Wii: Too easy. There was also a certain Lucky Star doujin that had some very imaginitive uses for the Wiimote if 4chan can be believed.
360: They named thier motion sensing thing after a fucking Maternity treatment
PS3: Well at least now you can act out that scene from American Pie 2...

I think Sony was setting themselves up for trouble when they made it cylindrical. The Wiimote was all squarish and could integrate into other devices. Someone even made a Ghostbuster positron collider with the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

They dug a deeper hole towards plagiarism by having a Nunchuk, too.

The full on knock-off of Wii Sports, though, that's pretty shameless.

I thought Sony said they didn't see Nintendo as competition. Apparently Sony wants in on that market now, heh.

Then again, you have to wonder about Sony and if the Japan, European and American divisions are even the same company sometims. I was reading on 1up about Demon's Souls the other day. Demon's Souls is a Sony Japan collaboration with From Software, thus making it a Sony first party game. Sony Japan wanted to give it a US release, but SCEA and SCEJ deemed it too difficult and that US and EU gamers wouldn't enjoy it.

I didn't know SCEA and SCEE spoke for western gamers. Thanks assholes.

Anyway, so while SCEJ was wary of doing a US release because of this, they wanted to at least try it in the US market. Atlus USA approached them about localizing it and they made a deal.

Atlus USA only published 15k on its first run and no one expected there to be much more sold in the US. Word of mouth spread and now its sold almost a quarter million in the US, Atlus USA doesn't often go back to reprinting a game so quickly.

That's not a controller, I"m sorry it just isn't.

Not only did I see a sex toy as soon as I opened this page, I giggled like a girl every time 'Bbq mentioned the word "dildo" in the OP.

I'll never understand motion related video games. I guess I'm just too old to appreciate them. Give me a controller and a couch and I'm set.

Well, its not a good sign that the gaming press took to describing it this way. Sony has a real uphill battle on their hands with this one.

This will be a very popular add on for the PS3 for single gamers ;p

It’s so hard for me to picture a group of people (both genders I’d assume) sitting in a conference room discussing how to design their new controller.
Then coming up with this…


Unless of course the company heads are Terra Patrick, Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy.

I'd be more concerned if Nintendo hadn't managed to name their entire console in a manner that still gets tons of urine and penis jokes, yet gained control of the industry for what's looking like at least five years.

That comes from the most anti-Nintendo/motion control people out there, though. They have the mindshare of pre-teens on a school bus. More people are looking at it from the "We" angle now, I think.

Sony could have called it the "Wand," then again, that probably wouldn't have helped, either.

With all the names you men give your penis, no "wand" would NOT have helped! lol

Personally, I did not think about anything phallic when I first saw it. I guess it depends on your mindset. My first thought was a magic wand like little kids would play with. Either way, its not flattering for the device is you think of it as a sex toy or a magic wand.
