First of all it's gorgeous. The intro video, the game itself, the seamless zoom on the battlefield and the fluid camera movement are all just beautiful. The Move controls are very intuitive and I found no weird behaviour of the pointer. The options to the controls are just unheard of, they went to the detail of giving the option to the user to adjust the deadzone of the Move and DS3. As for the gameplay itself I can't give much feedback yet as I played only the first introductory level. Went to multiplayer just to take a peek and there were 2 players there but didn't had the time to play at that moment.
Game is absolutely gorgeous in 1080p. I have yet to see a single framerate hitch either. The artwork and terrain design is actually really nice to just look at. I would have expanded the available area of sight a little more, but I get the feeling it might take away some of the challenge if they did so.
The pointer controls take some getting used to, and the pre-game menus are a little confusing at first. They make more sense once you've messed around with them for a few minutes. The PS Move controls are actually wonderfully implemented and are one of the best benefits of this game. It makes superb usage of them and actually feels very natural. PC RTS fans aren't going to quit using a mouse but this is the best way to do it on a game console.
My only complaint about the game is that I'm admittedly not very experienced with RTS games that much but this game is still really challenging and somewhat difficult. Maybe I'll try it on an easier setting until I'm more experienced. I don't think I'd mind another campaign run, depending on its length. Really solid game, and you're stupid if you don't pick it up for $10 while Sony's doing the Welcome Back program and you can get free PS + benefits.

I'm grabbing this tomorrow for sure since I have to work tonight and I won't be able to play it. If the free PS+ is active, awesome $10 off. If it's not active, I'm buying it anyway since $20 seems like a more than fair price for this gorgeous game.
Question for F-Pina, if you can answer it: do you guys get less money if I buy it with the PS+ discount? I want you guys to get as much from me buying as possible & I'll forgo the discount if it helps you guys out. Hell, I'm even buying my son on his PS3 instead of gamesharing it.

This game is so good. Not a RTS expert by any definition so I was having some troubles early on so I may drop the difficulty down but it feels pretty damn polished (as it should after all that time 
) It was well worth the wait, hopefully it's a big success for you guys. Gonna pimp it out to some friends and see if I can get them to buy it too.

Yes pimp Under Siege out to everyone! Buy two copies!!
Guys, always remember to keep ranged units away from action and keep those soldiers taunting enemies so they stick with them. Watch for friendly fire from mister Gunner.
Sorry dude, we can't talk about the deal we made with Sony to get the Plus discount but your words are very kind

I'm convinced, will buy immediately. God, it looks beautiful!
Yes a patch was always there.
Cannon blasts are very powerfull but have friendly fire.
You can 2 things with your gunner, press Triangle on a spot so he stays shooting only to that place creating a fire barrage. Or just use him for a first blow at a distance and then make him retreat again.
Like the Archers Soldiers and all other units, once you nail the abillities of a character you become godlike
PS: casual mode does not have friendly fire

Under Siege dudes just posted a Thank you note on Facebook:

Chain commands.
Equal to Shift-clicking on a PC RTS I want a similar action in Under Siege so I can first order a unit to walk there, a second place and a third location (and do so aggressively / attacking).

I have been doing the latter, which worked out pretty well until a certain incident early on in the game where it is extremely beneficial to funnel all the enemies into a narrow passageway. But I did not realize the first trick. Thanks!

Leaning highly towards buying this when I get me some funds. The plus factor totally seals this one.

This is one of the best PSN exclusives ever. I'm dead serious. It uses every single aspect you can think of for PS3. YouTube support, custom soundtrack, Move, online multiplayer, everything. It's challenging, but satisfying as hell when you accomplish something.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
F-Pina said:No Demo sorry.
We are a small team, it was very hard just to put the game for sale, we will now focus on keeping the community happy and then we we have the time we will think about it.
And speaking of community...
Will be buying, the trophy whore in me demands that I play the ever living shit out of it
"I will be the Best..."
$10 for a platinum (Hooray! for PSN+), and all trophies GOLD!...Ridonkulous!...I will be making sweet, sweet love to this game, time to become an arm chair general and attack the Kingdom!

bad gameplay lol
Bah. The Plus discount makes me want this sooooo badly, despite how bad I am at RTS games. =/ The sheer value of what you get for $10 (glorious PS+ master race!) is just insane.
Glad you guys are having fun

Just finished two more missions... What a joy to play this game finally! Thought I bumped into some unit select bug with the d panel shortcuts but they started to respond beautifully, maybe I was pressing one shoulder button at the same time or something... After learning to use to our advantage the shortcuts and the units abilities then the game starts to shine. And I'm only at the very beginning of the game. Can't wait to get those Shifter guys. So, my initial feelings are still overwhelmingly positive just needed some time taking used to the game's interface.
So far this game seems incredible, especially considering it's an RTS and a PSN-only title. Also, the $10 discount for Plus members makes the purchase a no-brainer.
Just a heads-up for those of you using the Move: the Navigation controller has to be synced up as Controller #1 or it will not function correctly.
Also, for the devs: I hate it when the screen jumps after returning from a cut-scene, unless I hold the Move wand perfectly still. What's the best way to adjust the Control sliders to prevent this from happening, yet, at the same time, not affect gameplay.

I bumped on that controller #1 problem also but thought that it was a normal thing with the Move...
Another heads-up, on the third mission ??? the first mission with a gunner, the screen tearing can be really noticeable, adjust the screen resolution to 720p and it will be fixed.
Try to re calibrate the Move. That fixed that issue to me. I don't remember where I first read this hint but I always calibrate the Move exaggerating a bit the point where I'm aiming the Move. So if it asks to point to the far left of the screen, point it a bit further left of that, and so on for the other calibrations.

Purchased this game, but it doesn't recognize the PSeye so that I can play with the move. I tried my other move games and they work fine but it will not work on this one. I don't even see in the options where I can use the move it only shows the DS3.
HELP
edit: got the move working,
and now it does recognize the nav controller what the?
