Same. I very much disliked Wii Sports, but Sports Champions is damn amazing. I think they really hit it out of the park with the games they chose to use. I think volleyball is last on the list of showcasing the Move's abilities, but it's still fun.
If you play Table Tennis and can't figure out the difference between Move and WM+, you should probably stick with your Wii and let the big boys play with Move.

FOUND OUT YOUR PROBLEM: YOU CAN'T USE CUSTOM WEAPONS ON SILVER CHAMPIONSHIP!
I had your problem and then switched to the default weapons on character select and then pow, damage without pressing the T button.
Sorry for Caps, just hope you can see the solution.

Er, I really don't think this is correct either. I used the Samurai sword (holding it correctly even
) and the Phantom Sword and still have never held the T button down on the right Move. Really not sure what's happening for you guys, but it must suck. Sounds like a bad dream. :lol

The only time I was whiffing on SC was when I was still holding the T button on the shield controller. I let go of it, and all my hits connected again.

How's the job at Sony going?
Best motion control game out there...tons of fun but with depth to master. The precision is absolutely amazing. Seriously any one comparing this and WSR in the same league has not played this game. I haven't even touched other sports yet except archery, table tennis and gladiator and this game has been beyond my expectations. If there is one big difference between Move and Wii, its waggle vs true motions...that's where Move wins big time. You don't waggle, you play exactly how you would in real life. Had a party this weekend and visiting kids were already begging their parents to buy them the Move :lol

Nah, at most it was a temporary bug that got fixed by resetting weapons.

You won't regret it. Although, waiting for the controller to charge will test your nerves.

cakefoo, your posts on Move tech have been outstanding
Wrong wrong wrong. The Wiimote even without MotionPlus calculates the angle and absolute distance from the sensor bar when pointed at it. This was used as early as Wii Play, and is described very extensively in the patent application. (It's quite a lot of text, so if it's the absolute distance you're interested in it's referred to in the text as "distance realD". Angular position is covered in [0154].)Redbeard said:

The GAF hype is making it hard to resist...
I just don't get you Wii people. I mean what are you trying to prove? Wii has great backlog of games, the technology functions rather well, although it is not as precise as Move, but who cares, if it works for what it was made for. Then we have another product that came out 5 years later, and wow what a surprise, it is more precise and natural than Wii (you don't have to get too technical to conclude this. My cousin that is six years old immediately grasped that Move is more precise.). So does that suddenly make Wii a bad hardware? Of course not. I just don't get what are you trying to prove? To be honest I don't even understand why you bother with this thread if you don't plan to buy Move.
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
The thing is move does this better, and also when the controller is pointed at any angle or sideways to the camera (thanks to sphere on top, the absolute position can be tracked by camera no matter where you point it).Jokeropia said:

Meh, waggle my snaggle; I'm not one for diversions.
Though I can do some table tennis.
I'm not a wii guy, but the last bit of that topic title is horrible.

this. Not only that, the comparable wii experience is wm+ and that has um, 3 games? I wish they'd just leave this thread alone. I think all the wii vs wm+ crap can go to the move OT.

you should definitely pick up a sports champion bundle and be blown away. Its such a great game and if this thing remotely didn't work, itd be savaged to hell and back here already.

To keep things on a relatively level playing field. If you want to have local multiplayer across a wide range of demographics then you are going to have to limit the complexity. 'My wife loves it' will rapidly change to 'my wife hates it' if you stay up a couple of nights practicing and proceed to beat her 10 games in a row. Your friends are not gonna be eager to come over and try playing your new move set-up if they don't stand a chance against you.distrbnce said:
You add simulation depth to simulation games not party/local multiplayer games.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
You don't understand why people who are interested in motion controls are interested in move? I think a lot of people are wondering if it will be worth upgrading to a PS3 with move down the line if it gets decent software support, and if the hardware is as good as it has the potential to be.Stampy said:

Luckily, the developer of SC has ignored you. They took the thought process one step further and allowed for different levels of handicaps, with the highest being "raw data" sort of access, so you can actually develop skills and get better at the game.
Most importantly, the feeling you get from the devices lets you realize it's your -own skill- that is causing things to happen, not arbitrary workarounds thought up by devs.
Casuals can relate to this immediately.
And I'd be willing to bet that as you learn the "tricks" of the wiimote, you would be better at particular games than any casual could ever be.
That won't be the case with the real information coming from Move.
I'm just correcting obviously false statements.
Do you have any actual point or are you just playing dumb?distrbnce said:You wouldn't have bothered writing this if you had used both. It's irrelevant. Wiimote doesn't work like Move does. Why come up with a marketing pseudonym for 3D?
btw, can I coin reMove as Move Remote's shorthand?
25+, actually.Jax said:
Jokeropia said:
This is more of a corner case though...this is only useful in a subset of situations.
Think of - say - swinging like a racquet. I'm not sure my move or my wiimote is ever pointing at the top of my TV in that kind of motion.
It's not really general enough to be usable, typically. Even AILive, the people who invented M+, don't seem to regard it as generally viable. Per their developer's manual, they note that you can track position relative to a starting position with M+, but typically only for a couple of seconds before the data goes bad - suggesting an overwhelming reliance on the internal sensors for that data. So their recommendation is to only track short discrete motions. This is very different to what Move's doing - tracking position relative to a external fixed point (the camera) and for indefinite periods of time.

I embraced motion controls when "Revolution" got it's name. My imagination ran wild.
But by the Wii's release, I saw exactly what it was. No, I never wanted that.
Move, on the other hand, picks up gracefully right where my imagination left off, and suddenly I can be excited about a new way to game.
Everybody! Stop the hate and the war, NOW!
Its SO not worth it, especially here in this topic, thank you.
Clearly not the case with me. The thing that won me over was 1:1 motion. It really does what you do, at least concerning your arms and hands. And this game here in this topic definitely showcases the technology to a good degree AND is also a good game, not just a glorious tech demo.

Damn you people are killing me. I have to pick this up.
goomba said:
do I need to post a pic of both my PS3 and wii? (which is disconnected?)
This thread is derailing fast. I love move because of what it does, 1:1/3D space and the fact that the HD visuals really draw you in,
disconnected + haven't been touched in 5+ months. And you can also see a 360 game (splinter cell) there so I own all 3 consoles.
When you're swinging a racket, chances are you're holding it in your hand and where you stand in the room is not as important as how it moves relative to your body.gofreak said:
I'm not sure you understand. You would only use M+ to track position if you're not letting the controller see the sensor bar.gofreak said:
Well then your point is quite dumb, because as I mentioned in my post, it manifested itself as early as Wii Play back in 2006.distrbnce said:
