GDC 2010: Sony Playstation Move Press Conference

Today, Sony officially unveiled the name of the motion controller during their GDC press conference. Entitled the Playstation Move, Sony plans on taking on the Nintendo Wii in all shapes and forms.

Launching this fall, you will be able to pick up the Playstation Move starter kit for less than $100. The starter kit will include the Playstation Eye, One Playstation Move and A game (most likely Playstation Sports from the looks of it). For those of you who don’t own a PS3 yet, don’t worry because you’ll be able to pick up the Super Move Bundle which includes a PS3 and the starter kit. However, from the looks of it, you are also going to need to fork over another $50-70 dollars to buy a second Playstation Move controller since most games will require two.

Now, Sony has stated that all their first and third party publishers are all on board with Playstation Move and are already developing titles for it. They are also starting to integrate it into existing titles like LitteBigPlanet and Socom 4, which will be released this fall. I was not impressed with the demo of either game and honestly, will be sticking to my Dual Shock 3 to play them.

Only thing is that everything they showed during this press conference looked like a rip off of everything Nintendo has done thus far with the Wii…only in HD. I mean, no offense Sony but I was expecting something that was going to make me not think you were ripping off the Wii.
