When the PS3 released, one of the biggest problems were that there were so few games to take advantage of all that power. It’s a stigma that followed the PS3 all the way into 2009, even in press reporting, even when the PS3 had more games and better exclusives than the Xbox. You’d think that Sony learned a lesson from that: having hardware without games leads to frustration, and needs to stop. With that lesson, we might have expected to see Sony release the Move controller with some truly good games. Unfortunately, Sony continues to drop the ball with its customers. In the many months since the Move controller has been out, we have seen NO interesting games! Sports Champions, which seemed to get good reviews, is nothing more than a longish tech demo.
Well, the first good game for the Move is out — and it’s a Wii game! I got Dead Space: Extraction for free with the PS3 edition of Dead Space 2. And boy, it’s fun. It’s always exciting to have a story-driven game that does something different. And the Move controls here work really well.
With Killzone 3 coming with Move controls, it seems some exciting times are ahead. But apart from shooters, everybody is asking for a Move Star Wars game. What’s truly astounding is why Sony didn’t talk to LucasArts about this in time to get a good game around the time the Move was released. Does Sony simply not want its platform to do well? There simply seems to be a lack of due diligence at Sony this generation.
