Sony has just announced Move Fitness at their Gamescom conference. The typically cheesy trailer showed impossibly shiny happy people playing various arm-based activities, such as basketball (picking a ball up then shooting), target punching and punchbag punching.
Other than the patronising trailer, the activities did look reasonably fun, if very arm-based thanks to the nature of Move. I can only expect people with enormous arms and unfit everything-else to be the result. We’ll all look like apes.
Really highlighted the lack of body tracking IMO
punch this, punch that, punch that moving thingy, punch that glass, use a sword oh and punch this
Good fun mini games, maybe, but probably piss poor as a fitness workout beyond getting your heart-rate up
don’t jump to conclusions so soon. I mean, i didn’t think any of the games on sports champion would do that, but gladiator duels does work up a sweat, not as much as wii fit, but it’s still good enough
I think hes trying to point out it just uses the move controllers, no dedicated excersises for the rest of the body.
I always break a sweat playing Move games lol it drains me out and the battery too :S
gladiator duals on sports champions are so tiring and even the table tennis. Also from playing Wii Fit and being able to rum on the spot on that by placing the controller in your pocket, can’t they also do that with move?
There is a way I found to get fit and get paid at the same time – building up pallets at a bottling factory, so I’ll skip this.
Move is dying already.
I think that they have forgotten about eyetoy.
Didn’t EyeToy Kinetic do body tracking on the PS2? Seems strange that they would do a Move version and ignore functionality they had in a previous generation of the tech. At the very least they could have added some EA Active 2 style sensors (which incidentally I found to be a pretty effective home workout)
I shall search high and low for the trailer.
It sounds like a generic fitness game. I wonder if Dan or Peter will be doing a diary of keeping fit on it?
