SOCOM 4: PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter

**mickice** · 02-13-2011

I didn't think I'd need this, but looking at this video it looks like the best way to play xD

Gotta love the extra buttons. Can't get enough of those.

Looks fantastic, even without the sharp shooter i feel like Move is a lot better then the DS3 in KZ3 and I'm sure it's going to be the same thing for SOCOM 4.

**magurodonburi** · 02-14-2011

I completely agree with you about the move being better than the DS3 for KZ3 right now. Sharpshooter looks sweet, and I'm especially liking some of the extra buttons on there (rate of fire button is cool) - here's hoping they keep making games that fully support the thing.

I'll definitely get this. I'm loving the Move implementation with KZ3 and cannot go back to the regular controller as my aim is much better with Move. My settings are Deadzone height 0, Deadzone width 0, Crosshairs sensitivity 0, Turning speed 80. I'm golden with these settings.

cant wait to meet you guys online with my jungle green DS3...

**magurodonburi** · 02-16-2011

Likewise. I have a feeling, after a few days of getting used to things with the Move and Sharpshooter, I'll be crushing DS3s, regardless of what color they are.

**YoungMullah88** · 02-16-2011

lol believe me, if it was another fps? sure why not but socom? add me and we'll test out your theory when the beta hits. ill be damned if a ps MOVE user kills me in SOCOM!

**magurodonburi** · 02-17-2011

Maybe you're right...okay you're probably right. But I'm gonna have a lot of fun dying. A lot.

**YoungMullah88** · 02-17-2011

i plan on using mine but only in single player campaign and the respawn modes

**swordfish64** · 02-18-2011

I'll definitely use it on respawn, but if it works as well as it does with KZ3, I'll be on it with Classic mode too.
I'm really liking the sharpshooter, my settings for it are Deadzone height 0, Deadzone width 0, Crosshair sensitivity 20, turn speed 10.

**magurodonburi** · 02-24-2011

Did anybody pick this up yet for KZ3? I got tempted to buy it for the SOCOM Beta but ended up loving the game. Of course I had to pick up the Sharpshooter as well. It's sick!

Yeah, I'm using it with KZ3, it's badass! I'm using the settings in my post above. Can't wait for Socom!

These settings are for the sharpshooter, they are different from the ones I used when using the Move and Navigation controller alone. I'm not as good using the sharpshooter yet as as was when using move and navi alone, but I'm getting there. I haven't played in a few days but hope to get on tonight. Add me in for Socom, PSN ID Swordfish64.
EDIT: I tweaked my sharpshooter settings to:
Deadzone width 10
Deadzone height 60
Crosshair sensitivity 20
Turn speed 10
I am now as comfortable and effective with the sharpshooter as I was when using the move and navi only. I think I'm close to my optimal settings for this thing.
It definitely takes a few play sessions to tinker with the settings, but once you get it right, the gun feels cool as hell. Not going back to DS3 for KZ3, we'll see bout Socom.
BTW, I play sitting down and rest my arms on my legs, literally on the edge of my seat, it greatly reduces any fatigue. What's there is minimal and worth it for the immersion factor of using a gun. When I sit I don't extend the shoulder extension and it gives me tight control. Lovin it

i have not gotten the sharpshooter yet, but i will soon. playing with move on killzone 3 felt goofy, i think an actual rifle attachment would be the way to go as you can sort of aim and not just move your arm around

This is your first problem, flailing your arms around. Move is best played with your arm resting on something comfortable your wrist does all the action. Try using your pc mouse with your arm in the air yeah fields weird huh.

check out iwaggle3d.com shows you the basic for move gamers. Its not for everyone but it does add a sense of immersion that the ds3 can never add.

^ They say great minds think alike, LOL. Man I really want to mod my sharpshooter gun, give it some cool airbrush effects anyone on this thread down to make a how to guide. I would but i can guarantee i would not put it back how its supposed to go back.

**Sufi** · 03-06-2011

That's actually pretty cool, up until now, I thought the sharpshooter was just a lame toy. I still think it looks like one but it does function very well.

Liking the scope in Socom 4, was totally sweet. Reminds me of COD's but better. I notice that the start screen for Socom 4 is very similar to Socom 3 and the previous Socoms...whereas Confrontation's wasn't (if I recall correctly).

Think they're doing that for the nostalgia. So that people's perception is that it's old school again. IT MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK.

**cpitt** · 03-06-2011

This with what i want to play my shooters with, man I wish i knew how to do something like this, even the move controls and nav.

**swordfish64** · 03-11-2011

Don't forget to turn off the magnetometer on the Move under the XMB accessory settings menu, makes a huge difference with the stability of the Crosshairs.
