Sony has said there's no evidence that anyone's details have been misused so far, and I haven't heard of any incidents of people having their accounts raided etc.
haha, as it happens three of the four screenshots were on Wii — they had Mii characters in the background! — despite EA saying they're multiformat. Someone dun goofed.
Supposedly so! It still has most of the series' features but with a new Story mode and, of course, Move controls and better graphics. Well worth checking out!
Considering its commitment to responding to fan feedback rather than just blundering on its own ideas, I'm hopeful this will be a decent outing, but hopefully we'll see a demo so we can make our minds up!
From what I understand, it means you can rotate it to fit more comfortably in your hand if you're left or right-handed: you can turn it slightly to sit just right, or at least I think so. We'll try to get our hands on one and actually find out!
I wonder how they're going to use Move — last year's effort had poorly-received first-person shooter sections, so hopefully they'll be a little more ambitious with the Move controls. Gesture-based spells are a must!
Heavy Rain is indeed in the Greatest Hits range — check the official PlayStation Blog — which is where I think this header came from. Interesting stuff though!
Thanks for joining, @whatever95! I'm sorry you didn't like the review but when you say "if you're there to judge everything" you have to remember I'm here to review the game on behalf of Movemodo readers, so I have to critique the game.
The PS3 and Move are obviously much more powerful than the Wii, so you'd expect a game like this to make several big leaps, which it just doesn't do, I'm afraid.
Is that the plastic shell you put your Move into? I think I saw that, then tried to think of what games would use it... I also drew a blank. Perhaps a future ModNation or Gran Turismo?
I think this is a good idea; EA did something similar with Battlefield: Bad Company 2, where you could play it online if you bought it pre-owned but you didn't get the maps etc. Works for me!
It's not Move-enabled, but also consider buying the incredible Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes HD, a stunning looking version of one of the best DS games of all time!
I wonder if Ubisoft has been playing up the Kinect controls rather than struggling to get Move support in; that was probably done months ago, but they've been keeping very quiet! Guess we'll find out more soon
They definitely need to improve Move controls for next year's effort, without a doubt. Hopefully they'll have at least another year until the next Tiger game comes out, which should give them ample time to figure something out. Here's hoping!
For a series like John Daly I think 200,000 sales is a vaguely realistic goal, but Tiger Woods sells to millions and I think cutting out DualShock owners wouldn't be a good business move.
7 million Move owners sounds a lot but it's estimated the PS3 has sold around 50m units worldwide, so Move still has a long way to go
I think EA's done well to innovate with the Shot Stick in its sports games so it's unlikely to ditch the traditional controller, just like other companies with respected sports franchises — Top Spin, Virtua Tennis etc. I'd love to seem them really embrace the Move and make it a key feature of the next entry, but I suspect they'll only do that if the controller's sales really pick up.
I'm not sure to be honest. They're usually September, but that would make three Tiger Woods games in a 12 month period, which doesn't sound great for developers or consumers. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
@dmmp1234 I agree, the courses look great and the animation is superb. The presentation is fantastic all-around, as you'd expect, but I agree the Move control still isn't what it should be. I hope a future Prostroke Golf sequel can have a bigger budget and iron out some of the kinks, because it'll really be amazing on Move.
@autogalazzo Usually we use either UK or US sites; I do the news and check both sides of the Atlantic for news. In this instance I can't imagine why they'd remove mini-golf from the US version, but I should be getting my UK copy soon so I'll happily investigate the whole deal.
Virtua Tennis There's a motion control area of the game that is controllable with the Move, where you can play matches and minigames. The world tour and online are only usable with a classic standard controller.
I wonder if we might see a tennis game hit PSN. I think in the boxed retail market it's tough to have three successful sports games — even football only supports two — so perhaps a download, Move-only game might have more success.
@dirtyvu Cheers, looks like I didn't explain myself in the review well enough. What I mean is that you start and finish your swing well before the ball reaches you — you play your shot, there's a pause, then your player plays his/her shot. I know it's important to prepare but I think perhaps Top Spin takes it a little too far!
@Din_Djinn Yeah, I realise that looks weird. I think this is a much more natural fit for Move and many people would like buy it for Move to experience the full range of gameplay modes, whereas NBA 2K11 features Move as a way to ease newcomers in. That's just my take though. For what it's worth, I did play this with DualShock as well and still couldn't say I had a great time!
How have you been getting on with My Fitness Coach Club and Dance on Broadway, lipnox? I haven't had chance to try them so I'd be keen to know your thoughts.

Re: Sony Aims to Have PlayStation Network Back Up Before June
Yep, as the article says, "the company's aim is to have the whole network up and running before 31st May"
Re: Wanted Corp Brings Top-Down Shooting to PlayStation Move
Maybe you'll use Move as an on-screen reticule? Looks good though!

Re: Some PlayStation Network Features to Return This Week
@danschemen They'll add PS Plus to your account after the Store goes back up, one would assume
@din_djinn You realise giving every user $10 is equivalent to giving away around $750m...?
Re: Europe Joins Cabela's Dangerous Hunts on 6th May
Supposedly so! It still has most of the series' features but with a new Story mode and, of course, Move controls and better graphics. Well worth checking out!

I also would.

Re: Uncharted 2 and God of War III for PlayStation Move at Walmart
@din_Djinn I certainly haven't but hopefully my chums across the pond can help answer that question
Re: Wow, PlayStation Move has Inspired a 32-bit Knock-Off
haha, potentially the best first post ever. Does the current line up of PlayStation Move games not tickle your fancy? There's some good 'uns in there!
Re: European Gamers Not Invited to SOCOM Pro Club
The situation's been cleared up now — see our most recent post

Re: PlayStation Move Bowling Ball Looks as Good as It Sounds
Apparently it's not as heavy as it looks, which is just as well — if you thought the Sharp Shooter hurt, wait until you try this
Re: PlayStation Move Bowling Ball Looks as Good as It Sounds
Still time yet MrJimmy, Move has only been out for six or seven months. Hopefully we'll see a better take on the sport in the near future!
Re: SOCOM 4 "Pro" Access Code
I think this is a good idea; EA did something similar with Battlefield: Bad Company 2, where you could play it online if you bought it pre-owned but you didn't get the maps etc. Works for me!
Re: Get the First Episode of Blue Toad Murder Files for Free
It's worth a go, plus the Season Upgrade is only cheap too if you do like it!
Re: Out Today: Tuesday 12th April 2011 (North America)
@Turtlelink Hopefully in a day or two, Chris wanted to make sure he really got into the game before he gave his appraisal
Re: Out Today: Tuesday 12th April 2011 (North America)
It's superb; there's a free demo available, so try it. From the same team behind Critter Crunch which, I'm sure you know, is aces.
Re: Out Today: Tuesday 12th April 2011 (North America)
It's not Move-enabled, but also consider buying the incredible Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes HD, a stunning looking version of one of the best DS games of all time!

Re: Review: My Fitness Coach Club (PlayStation 3)
Forget about the text, let's discuss that banner! The full game contains many more such images, all rendered in love 720p.
Re: Virtua Tennis 4 Will Get a Move-Enabled Demo
Not sure really, so far they haven't really shown much of it off. Looking forward to trying it to find out, though!

Re: Review: My Fitness Coach Club (PlayStation 3)
Cannot believe nobody has commented on the pert bottoms in the banner for this game. I'm shocked!
Re: EyePet Returns to PlayStation Move With a Friend in Tow
I would have thought you'd need even more space for this as it's two EyePets now, so looks like a move might be on the cards!

Will be getting this on both Kinect and PlayStation Move. I love Rez to bits so will gladly buy the sequel twice!

Hey @ShinobiBlu, thanks for joining (and love the username!)
I'm really looking forward to taking this one on. Might see some of you guys in the dungeons

Re: Review: Yoostar 2 (PlayStation 3)
@Dirtyvu Not the ideal atmosphere for a party game, really! That's my experience with the two versions too
Re: Virtua Tennis 4 Gets Exclusive Content for PS3 and Move
@trony That's not what Sega says!
That's from the official Virtua Tennis Facebook page, today.
Re: Review: Yoostar 2 (PlayStation 3)
Yeah, not much different in the audio side in my experience, they're both pretty good.
Re: Review: Top Spin 4 (PlayStation 3)

Re: Top Spin 4
Not one that has been announced, I'm afraid! Retailers may do their own bundles but there's no official one, sadly.
Re: Review: de Blob 2 (PlayStation 3)
@Lipnox Yep, or a DualShock pad!
