@lipnox I should imagine the European version contains dialogue for various languages whereas the US one is probably just English. I haven't tried it yet though so don't take this as gospel!
@lipnox As Chris explained, this is a feature explaining the back story of the characters and franchises about to appear in PlayStation Move Heroes. The demo is available now anyway so you can play it and find out what all the fuss is about
"Both controllers feature a rubberized shell for better grip and an ergonomic design. In order to keep up with future firmware updates, both controllers have built-in USB ports so that they can be quickly and easily updated with the latest software."
@neo_segaUK What site do you write for? Would be interesting to read second opinions on these titles. I know what you mean about the different coloured gun too, the US one is loads better!
@Neo_segaUK Thanks for joining! Have a tweak with your settings and see if you can come up with a system that works. Botzone is ideal for messing about with deadzones etc.
@GoldenCannon Good question. I would assume it would be just different enough so as not to infringe on patents, but remember a lot of this technology — accelerometers, gyroscopes etc. — is pretty commonplace nowadays, so should be easy to replicate without cramping anyone's style.
@Lipnox I believe they're rechargeable, yeah. And the third-party deactivation was a by-product of Sony protecting itself against counterfeit DualShock and Sixaxis controllers, so these should be fine, I'd think!
I think it's more a bonus if you have multiple players who each want their own unique controller. I'm particularly fussy about my Wii Remotes for example — I have to use the black one, and my guests may only use the white ones. I'd like a blue Move very much.
I only got around to a quick dabble with Botzone but I think it's a great idea. I hate getting owned online but still like the idea of competitive play, so this is just what I was after. I'll have to pick the game up again in future.
There's stereoscopic 3D support on PS3 which might make it worth the extra money if you have a 3DTV. Also you jump by pushing a button, which is good, but I believe it's the same on the Wii version of de Blob 2. Totally down to personal preference!
It's going to be a tough choice between this and Virtua Tennis 4 - obviously I'm a Sega man, but 2K really won me over with NBA 2K11, so I'm hoping this can be equally amazing. Maybe I'll just get both!
@wastedyuthe The US store updates on Tuesdays, European store updates on Wednesdays, so I would have thought you'd have a short wait to get the demo. As for the game, 99% of game releases are Tuesdays in America and Fridays in the UK
Move controller =/= Navigation controller. Haven't we been here before, though?
The boxart for Yoostar 2 says "PlayStation Move Features" so there's probably more to it than that, but I've only played it on Kinect so I'm not 100% sure.
@turtlelink Not sure yet, all Teyon would tell me is it's definitely under development and it's heading to retail. However, the game's box art is just a slightly recoloured version of the art for HF: SpecOps, so perhaps it's a compilation? We'll do our best to find out.
As far as I know it uses the controller for navigating menus – I don't think there are any particular uses for it other than that, but I could be wrong. We'll find out soon anyway
I think this is basically going to be an arcade-style on-rails shooter with a wartime theme, but as it's also coming to Wii and Kinect I'd be interested to see if there are differences between each version other than simple controls. One to watch, though!
I'm actually really enjoying this game, and I'm not an FPS fan at all. I think there are some issues with it but on the whole I like it a lot. Hopefully this will make it even better!
@Lipnox Ah, thanks for explaining. From what I've read of the developer talk so far there may be a similar function included, though of course Sega did that first with the Dreamcast
@rockavitch I've been enjoying it quite a bit and I don't normally like these kinds of games at all. Perhaps we should start up a miniature Movemodo league before jumping in with the big boys!

Re: Move Games Go Cheap in European PSN Sale
I think Hustle Kings and Top Darts for £4 each are also pretty good finds. Oh, and MAG for £12? Bargain. Looks like I need a new PSN card this week!

Re: Out Today: PlayStation Move Heroes Demo (North America)
Looks like this was delayed by a week. Should be available now!
Re: Out Today: PlayStation Move Heroes Demo (North America)
That's also what I thought, and what the PS Plus update on the official blog sounded like. Still, it's open for everyone now, so happy days
Re: Plus Members, Today's Your Last Chance for Move Heroes Demo
Regular members get it today, it seems!
Re: PlayStation Move Heroes Euro-Bound in March
@MadchesterManc Tell me about it! Though I have to say my local branch is pretty awesome.
Re: Third-Party Move Controllers On the Way in April
Just remembered this from the first post:
"Both controllers feature a rubberized shell for better grip and an ergonomic design. In order to keep up with future firmware updates, both controllers have built-in USB ports so that they can be quickly and easily updated with the latest software."
Job done

Re: Zipper Lets Fly with SOCOM 4 Beta Details
I believe it'll be online only as they mention taking the servers down on April 13th.

Re: Dungeon Defenders Goes Cross-Platform with PC, iOS and Android
Plus there's cross-platform play on Portal 2 (though I wish that was Move compatible!). I think this is a great idea and I hope it works well.

Great review, Chris

Re: Top Spin 4 My Player Trailer Serves Up a Career Mode
And of course it's a wireless sub-controller on PS3 so even better!
Re: Review: de Blob 2 (PlayStation 3)
Sly Cooper got 9, so no
Re: Virtua Tennis 4 Announced for May Release in North America
@HarveyN286 It's coming to Wii with MotionPlus capabilities but I don't see it matching the PS Move version. I can't wait!
Re: Top Spin 4 My Player Trailer Serves Up a Career Mode
Move controls for NBA weren't great, I'll grant you that, but I thought the game itself was absolutely sensational. To each man his own, though!

Re: Know Your Enemy with Killzone 3's Facebook Application
My wife is my Ultimate Enemy, so this app says. Thanks so much, Sony.
Re: PlayStation Move Heroes Dev Diary Emerges from Wormhole
@Robo_1 The demo's not out yet, is it? I read it's out on 1st March for PS Plus members.
Re: Move Can Be Used to Measure the Earth's Rotation
@Paranoimia I dunno, Kinect controlling a robot is pretty cool compared to anything.
@coltscolts Killzone 3 and de Blob 2 are both out today, that should do it for you
Re: de Blob 2 Trailer Awash with Colourful Antisocial Undertones
I started playing de Blob 2 this morning. Nice looking game, great music and pretty cool. Review should be up this week!
Re: Apparently Portal 2 Does Not Have Full Move Support
It's been edited out of the original statement now but I translated it myself and it definitely said "PlayStation Move support"!
Re: Guides: How to Be Better with PlayStation Move in Killzone 3
@autogolazzo I think that would be a good idea, and something hopefully Sony and Guerilla will look into

Re: Guides: How to Be Better with PlayStation Move in Killzone 3
@GiggleFish We have lots of plans for Killzone Move content, so stay tuned

@turtlelink Not sure yet, all Teyon would tell me is it's definitely under development and it's heading to retail. However, the game's box art is just a slightly recoloured version of the art for HF: SpecOps, so perhaps it's a compilation? We'll do our best to find out.

Re: Here's Looking at Yoostar 2's Complete Clip Collection
I'd probably be buying this even if it was just a series of clips from Casablanca. That movie is the best.
Re: Virtua Tennis 4 Move Footage Shows a Lot of Balls
As far as I know the first-person view is totally optional. I bet it looks amazing in 3D though!
Re: SEGA: Move is the Most Accurate Way to Play Virtua Tennis 4
Springtime is all we know at the moment - I'm right with you though! As soon as Sega gives us a date it'll be right here so keep checking us!
Re: Anti-Hacking Patch Coming to Modern Combat: Domination
I'm actually really enjoying this game, and I'm not an FPS fan at all. I think there are some issues with it but on the whole I like it a lot. Hopefully this will make it even better!
Re: Ubisoft Gives Move a Striptease with We Dare
@lipnox Expect to see We Dare 2 on Kinect, then!
Re: Killzone 3 Dev: "Shooters Will be Played Like This in the Future"
@SkumF We're working on some tips for Killzone 3 with Move, keep checking us!
Re: Anti-Hacking Patch Coming to Modern Combat: Domination
I've started calling this game ModComDom. I like it.
Re: Ubisoft Gives Move a Striptease with We Dare
@Madgame Nothing yet, but we'll keep you posted!
Re: My Fitness Coach Club Gets Europe Sweaty on February 18th
@Snichy The official Ubisoft press site lists it as 18/02/2011. Strange - we'll keep you posted though!
Re: My Fitness Coach Club Gets Europe Sweaty on February 18th
@tastetest That sounds awesome! Let us know when your controller is out and we'll give you some publicity
I'll be reviewing this one so stay tuned
Re: SOCOM 4 Confirmed for 3D, Beta Coming with Killzone 3
Nothing yet, sadly. The Sony UK press site still lists it as "TBC 2010"!
Re: New Dungeon Defenders Screenshots Explode with Colour
A lot less time yes, but also gets a lot less column inches, which is the crucial part!
Re: Sony's Next Generation Portable is PlayStation Move On the Go
@Lipnox Ah, thanks for explaining. From what I've read of the developer talk so far there may be a similar function included, though of course Sega did that first with the Dreamcast
Re: Sony's Next Generation Portable is PlayStation Move On the Go
@turtlelink Never say never my hard-shelled friend!
@lipnox Define "cross-platform" for me? This plays games from Android market, PSP Minis, PSP titles from PSN and obviously brand new games too.
Re: Test Your Skills in European Modern Combat: Domination League
@rockavitch I've been enjoying it quite a bit and I don't normally like these kinds of games at all. Perhaps we should start up a miniature Movemodo league before jumping in with the big boys!
Re: New StarDrone Screens Look Sparkly in 720p
You may have heard that from us, Swolern If not, PlayStation Lifestyle also reported on it.
