No way in hell that thing can be usable for Starcraft if it has any bit of lag. 400APM? Hello?

The real news here is that there is a possibility of using the Move on a PC.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

I say no.

Yea that caught my eye, seems interesting if they sell it as a controller for PC or someone hacks it to be usable on PC

Am I the only one who is confused by the fact that this looks like a light bulb on a stick?

Precision is one thing. Response time is completely different.

 

[AMDnoob]

what on earth is the little color bulb at the end of the primary controller for? I thought it was just a photoshopped effect on the print ads that was meant to convey like "fun". but then i saw an actual picture of one in use and they're like bulbs! are they just meant for identification purposes?

That was the first think I noticed. Does the light have any purpose?

Also, I think using the Move on a PC would be really neat, just not for SC.

 

[AMDnoob]

Never mind about my previous post. The bulb is used by the PS eye to help track its motion and location. it's a wonder what a little googling will get you 😀

I could see something like this on the pc being cool for indie games and art.... but for any other gaming it would just be a huge frustrating hindrance.

 

[-Fran-]

Uhm... Why would Sony do that with the Move when they haven't done it with the PS controllers in years? At least, I don't know any official support from them like the X-Box controller has from M$. The Wii mote has more support so far 😛

Cheers!

The light is probably to aid the camera in tracking. I bet it is needed for high precision in tracking location, especially on the towards/away axis.

But can it play Star Craft II?

 

[XD_dued]

My mouse is precise enough to play starcraft, thank you very much.

 

[Foxer57]

Even if you have steady hands, it will be really hard. Besides, I played Starcraft 64 on the N64 once and it was REALLY hard to get anything accomplished.

 

[seraphimcaduto]

From someone who always got a chuckle out of the "can it play crysis" comments, actually getting to say can it play starcraft 2 is hilarious. On a serious note without some hardcore fighting/shooting/realistic sports games, this add-on is going to be useless...so come on new star wars game, take what the wii did and make it better.

 

[JohnnyLucky]

Didn't we just have an article about this the other day?

 

[eklipz330]

since last e3, ive been slowly convinced that MOVE will be better then NATAL... i was laughing at sony's presentation last year, but at least the lag can be under control

i believe there is a motion control device called sixense being released for PC

http://sixense.com/

the best part is since it's wired... 0 lag

 

[lpedraja2002]

Well is Starcraft ever happens on PS3 Sony would definitely try to negotiate a way of making Stracraft work with the lightbulb-stick only, instead of going with the more traditional mouse and keyboard combo. I mean really, Sony can really push boundaries if they put full keyboard+mouse as standard requirements for game developers.

what are you talking about man, the dualshock3 does too work as a controller, I use it to play all mame and zsnes games. A little searching will find the driver.

 

[m-manla]

I think Razor is coming out with something like this for the PC.

 

[anamaniac]

Don't care.
KTOR 3 please.
Also, I need two controllers, as dual lightsabers is more badass.

from henceforth the SONY Move will be known as Lightbulb-stick
