Support NeoGAF

[Jsunu]

I'm disappointed they didn't program the PlayStation Move orb to flash in time to the music. Seems like a missed opportunity. That feature is so under-utilsed. Real "disco-stick" potential here.

I'm not convinced by the Move support yet either to be honest. It kinda looks like they just "ported" the Kinect version, rather than developing to the strengths of the platform. It looks a bit "stiff".

Well the whole point of the coloured orb is to provide tracking data for the pseye. If it were to flash on/off it would cause problems with the tracking.

It's 18 euro in zavvi - day one!!!

Hope this game sells well enough on PS3, so later, we can have Rez HD on PSN in 3D and uncompressed sound.

Changing colour wouldn't be that huge a bother though. Also the lack of a dual move mode to our knowledge seems like a missed opportunity.

Mizuguchi has pretty good English.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen any other native Japanese developers with better English than him.

But, ONE MIRRION TROOPS!!!

Don't all late PS3 ports have to have some exclusive content? I wonder if 3D and Move supports counts. Heres hoping they don't and we get a little extra.

Well, it actually plays to the strength of Move because it makes use of its 3D tracking capabilities. They could have not bothered with it and just do pointer controls a la Time Crisis / Wii stuff. That would have been not playing to the strengths of the Move.

There are games that have the gem changing colors mid-game multiple times and those play fine. Funky Lab Rat does that quite a lot, during interactions heavily based on sphere tracking no less (objects manipulation).

That said, I'm not sure how the Move would deal with high frequency color swaps and flashes this game would require tho.

Also the lack of a dual move mode to our knowledge seems like a missed opportunity.

Are there instances in the Kinect version where you are required to hold both hands up at the screen? Like for moving two cursors simultaneously? I guess not, so I'm not sure what's the missed opportunity here. You can still play with either hands in the PS3 version by simply moving the Move in the hand you want no?

Of course there are always going to be a lot of missed opportunities to bitch about in hybrid games.

TTP, are you going to do a detailed review for the game ? ^_^

In fact, are you able to pry Sony's hands to see if they can let you do a preview of Sorcery ? sort of a progress update.

Inferior box art confirmed. Also, dat image crop.

Wonder if the reversible is the same.

 

[ChryZ]

PAL box art got it right:

Are you sure it's the real box art ? How could they say "only on Playstation" when obviously it's not ?

 

[Synless]

I've seen the UK version is super cheap to preorder compared to the US version. What is the cheapest place to get the game from?

 

[jiggles]

See, now, without dual Move support, the boxart makes no sense.

 

[StuBurns]

Why is it still a dude playing with Kinect? Pretty lazy not to give the PS3 audience a real box art.

But hes reaching into the screen showcasing the PS3 exclusive 3D.....

i didn't like this game at all on 360, and i think the only thing move would add to it is making it much easier (which wasn't the reason i didn't like it). i wish it clicked with me, but it just didn't! not a patch on rez.

 

[Lord Error]

So this got moved up one week? PS blog says release is in two days?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/09/18/the-drop-week-of-september-19th-2011-new-releases/

Also, chuck this one up as another reason to buy those 3D video glasses. This game will be insane with those things.

 

[pje122]

Worth it for $15...?

 

[LaneDS]

Worth it for $15...?

Completely. Did you ever play/enjoy Rez?

 

[HueyFreeman]

Yup.

 

[Wario64]

Worth it for $15...?

Yes

Wow, lot's of responses...
I didn't think the community side got this much attention...

Community...? You mean that awful show?

Interesting how whenever I bump the Rage or Darkness II OTs it's like I'm the only one on Neogaf...

It is possible you're not posting in a Community thread. Possibly.

I picked this up for £2 the other week. Still not gotten around to giving it a go, but didn't see how I could pass it up for that price. I don't have a Move as of yet (since I have no other Move games, and I'm not even sure I'll keep this), but I hope that won't hinder the "experience".
