TW13.. Kinect or Move?

[josef]

Okay, I've decided to get TW 13. I just don't know what version to get.. 360 or PS3? I don't have Kinect or the Move but would like to get it for this game..

Any opinions on which plays a better or a more fun game of Tiger Woods golf? The Move or Kinect? Is one more seemless than the other.. as in easier to change clubs, aim, etc. If they are pretty much the same, I might just go with the Move since it's a bit cheaper..

Thanks for any input fellas.

I haven't tried this year's demo with Move (I really should, I have two Move controllers) but I have tried the Kinect demo and I wasn't as impressed as I wanted to be.

I found the actual swinging to be fine (though when putting, it was incredibly difficult to judge the amount of power you were applying to your shot) but aiming and choosing a club I found to be exceptionally clunky & often just flat out didn't work when I was using it.

I'm hoping that will be improved significantly when the final version comes out but right now, I'm not optimistic about using Kinect for Tiger Woods 13.

I'm curious about the differences also. I'm interested in the game from a pure swing simulator aspect.

Im still trying to decide myself. The Kinect version on the season pass version is much less clunky than on the demo. Its also easier to use in conjunction with the controller on the season pass version. I do well using the Kinect on pro default settings. With the move, ive only been able to play the demo as I dont have season pass on ps3, and dont want to pay for it at this point. But I was doing horrible with the move on pro default, but im not a real life golfer. I had most trouble with short shots and putting. I moved the swing difficulty down one to amateur I think it was called and did a lot better. I was hitting around par then. So now I really dont know what to do. Playing as Tiger, I should be able to do pretty well. As of last night I was leaning to the Kinect, but I am going to give the move another go later tonight hopefully.

Well, I wanted the $10 Amazon credit (haha) so I took a chance and pre-ordered the 360 Collector's Edition today. I hope to get the Kinect soon too.. it looks like it's on sale for $99 at BestBuy right now. I'm looking forward to it. I liked the idea of the Kinect b/c it's just one peripheral. Less things to have to charge.. I also like the idea that I can use my real putter with the Kinect. Well, I think I can.. we'll see how that goes. I'm thinking of making a golf type grip for driving/iron play too.. good times.

Glad you decided, Im still having trouble making my decision. Im gonna miss out on the $10. Looks like more people will be playing on Xbox and Kinect which attracts me to the xbox version. Sure wish there were a place to find more people's comparison's on the two.

One thing I noticed in playing again last night. I think I figured out why the Kinect is so much easier. It automatically adjusts swing percentage based on the marker, while the move does not. I have to put the move on easy to stay competitive, and it seems like it is not as consistent or maybe its me not consistent in my swings, but again I havent had much practice. Its kind of like this for me as of right now: Move = more realistic, easier to aim without controller and I suck especially putting (just cant get the feel for it), Kinect = less realistic, hard to aim without controller (so I use controller to aim) but fun.

croc, yeah i'm a little worried about the lack of difficulty with the Kinect.. but I'm assuming things get pretty tough once you up the difficulty. I've seen a video from EA using the Kinect where on the hardest difficulty looks at your hand position and can tell when you draw and fade shots.. or hook and slice . I slightly prefer my 360 to my PS3 for gaming for some reason so that helped me make my decision. I'm not sure why the Move and Kinect are so different. I really thought they would play identical.

Thanks, thats good to know, I can just up the difficulty for the Kinect to make it more of a challenge.

Just noticed you are from Louisiana too.
