So wait, is there going to be specific mode where you place a Move controller next to your head? Or is it just a tech demo of what could have been?

Damn, someone lit a huge match under Sony's ass recently.
They are in rare form right now with their releases and announcements.
Also LBPK and Battle Royale.GOW:A, Unfinished Swan

Review code came today. Under embargo till the 7th of May, but I'll do some general thoughts over the weekend when I get a chance to try it out.
Ut- you beat me too it. It sounds like this miiight be added to the game via a patch, but for now we wont have access. I'd actually be interested in getting a HMZ-T1 if I had a handful of games that supported this.
So let's talk about the game a bit, I'm under embargo until tomorrow for a full review'ish text, but some impressions never hurt anyone:
- Uses only a Move controller, a Nav is not needed
- DualShock 3 is a viable way of playing the game, but it moves a bit weirdly using a dualstick setup
- It has a bit of calibration issues here and there, which took me out of the moment here and there
- The game has a really otherworldly feel to it
- Visuals are not as impressive as I expected, framerate is all over the place at some times
- It does what Flower also excelled at, telling a story without using words or forcing it onto you
Still not done with the game, but a co-worker who finished it yesterday could not stop praising it and calling it beyond amazing and real game-art.
Do you know how far from launch it is? Didn't see it from a skim of the thread. And did you co-worker not mention frame-rate issues or any other negatives?? Look forward to reading the review if you post a link link here.
EDIT: Duh, ignore the launch date thing.
I haven't discussed the game in large detail with him yet, he just texted me during play with "this is amazing, this game is insane, it's fucking crazy", and he talked about having some calibration issues as well.
But we haven't compared notes yet, as I don't want to get spoiled on anything by accident yet.
There goes Sony, shamelessly copying the competition again.
I'm excited to (literally) dust off my Move to play this. My only concern is that it's less of a game than the trailer suggests. This studio's history is in the demoscene: semi-interactive procedurally generated animations. Their last 'product' Linger In Shadows was an attempt to bring that legacy to consoles, and it was a little underwhelming in my opinion.
I think that comparing it to Flower is pretty fair. It's a fair mix of art non-game experience oriented combined with exploring and what probably can be called mini-games (but it's a really harsh generalization of what it is, but it's the most appropiate way of talking about the game within the established vocabulary of game mechanics)
Above all else, Plastic have come up with a complex, clever slice of software that taps into the idea of delirium with such aplomb it’s slightly unnerving, as if the developers have encountered this state, those flowers, and somehow documented what often feels like a free-fall through the mind of severe, unhinged paranoia and nightmarish visions. Applause for pushing the boundaries of what we conceive as interactive entertainment, at least.
Anyone making an OT? Very excited to finally play this on Tuesday.
I've heard the game is 60FPS with some drops, but the base framerate is 60. This was really surprising to me given how dense everything looks.- Visuals are not as impressive as I expected, framerate is all over the place at some times
$7.99 for PS+. Will buy.
I got rid of my Move. So it's good to see that this supports DS3.
Some pretty rough review scores (60 average right now)

Starhawk is getting good reviews, what are you talking about?so this and starhawk not getting great reviews.
disappointing all around
Well, he did specify great reviews.Starhawk is getting good reviews, what are you talking about?
By the way guys, this experimental "2nd Move for camera" feature will be included in the final release of Datura but won't be visible. There won't be a specific option for that. You'll need to perform a secret little trick to activate it. I'll tell you how in my upcoming video analysis
Yeah, it's actually 60 fps most of the time I've found. It runs into drops (not severe) but generally seems to hold 60 fps (at least within the first 10 minutes that I briefly played).I've heard the game is 60FPS with some drops, but the base framerate is 60.

Looks absolutely beautiful too. Love the forest section.
How playable is it with the regular controller? I just bought it without noticing it's supposed to be played with Move, and now I fear I may have bought a game I can't play.

I read one review that stated the game controls better with a Dualshock rather than the Move. I'll soon find out; it's just finished downloading!
It's a bit sluggish, but the game's pace is slow enough where that's hardly ever an issue.
I will say that there is one part that does make me regret not having a Move, but I won't say anything else on that subject.
There's a scene early in the game that lets you put hand under the water (it looks more like gel though) that's pretty cool and I didn't notice framerate diving there. Smoother particle hydrodynamic effect, with not that many particles, but still very cool looking as you can interact with it with the hand.If you start to fiddle too much with the physics the framerate will crumble. Especially if you fuck with the water physics.
lol, no. He (or that review if it's for real) is definitely not right. You can't even control the hand at any time unless you play with Move.I hope you're right. I certainly won't buy Move just because of 6,36€ game.
