How many Playstation Move controllers do you need? [Archive]

Hi,

My fiancée recently purchased 4 Playstation Move controllers for my birthday (one of them in a bundle w/ the Playstation Eye camera) and I was trying to convince her that we didn't need 2 of them. I'm coming from having 4 Wii controllers/nunchuk pairs and the only time the other two are used is during parties (but even then most of the times we only use 2).

With that said, how many Move controllers do people have and is 2 enough or should I just stick with 4 since I have them? My fiancée is saying some games require 2 at a time o_O ...

Also, she didn't get me any of these Move Navigation controls ... are they necessary?

Thanks! =)

Sports Champions, for the best experience, uses 2 move controllers for each player in Volleyball.

The navigation controller is good for 3rd person shooting games like Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition using the Move control scheme.

I play better using the standard Dual Shock 3 controller and find that the DS3 is easier to use. I think I prefer playing Heavy Rain
with the dualshock instead too.

Overall, I think the Move is not worth purchasing. The Wii has good implementation of
motion controls nailed down with their first party titles. Sports Champions does not have the lasting appeal to justify
owing a move bundle. At least with Wii Sports there is a 4-player simultaneous option for Wii tennis. Sports Champions only has 2-players at most
simultaneously.

2 is at most... unless you have 2 player games that both want to use 2 move controller

i have 2... it felt weird to play sports champion with just the one so i bought another one. it was more fun playing gladiator duo and archery with 2 move...

Agreed. 2 unless you have a game in mind that requires 4. There are some games that use the Nav controller and the DS is not a good substitute, for example, Time Crisis: Razing Storm.

Can I be the smart ***** that says NONE

I still haven't played a Move game that I've enjoyed ... and any game that gives you the option of using traditional controls is always better than using the Move

The wii was kind of interesting when it came out ... the Move is a piece of crap that I wish would just die. It sucks that Sony has decided that the Move and 3D are the future ... they are two concepts I absolutely can't stand

RE5 Gold IMO has better controls when using the move instead of the dualshock3.

i found it easier to use ds3 for re5 gold. i guess i'm just not used to the move controls.

I have 4. It's great for sports championship but little else. Gladiator fighting is a real good workout (especially if you add on wrist/arm weights). A lot of fun to stab your buddy :)

After playing the wii version of RE4, playing RE5 with the ds3 felt really cumbersome.

Thanks everyone!
We hooked up one of the Move controllers last night and it seems decent. The camera was a little grainy...
I can see where 4 would be useful (as someone said, in Gladiator fighting) but other than that I'm still thinking of only keeping 2.

Still not sure about the Move Navigation though...
