Sony's newly-unveiled motion controller for the PS3. But aside from the facts - it'll be out later this year, for $100 including one controller and a camera that tracks the controller's movement - all I can spit out are conflicted opinions.
I'm somewhat excited for the Move, if only because it's a more sophisticated version of Nintendo's Wii, with its wand-shaped, button-laden controllers. The difference is that the Move uses an existing product, the Playstation Eye, to track the controller's motion along three dimensions. This allows you to step closer or farther from the table in virtual ping pong, or make 360-degree turns in real space.
Cool technology, for sure, but is it a cohesive vision for motion control, or a half-hearted attempt to capture the so-called casual gamer?
