Well, atleast the new Microsoft and Sony motion peripherals will actually do something this time. Unlike that Wii motion plus bull crap.

Well, if you can use it with a control then whats the point of Natal at all? Cause it seems from the commercials that their advertising it to be a controller free method of playing games. Besides why are you crying about what Sony is using, who cares if its a wand? I mean for god sakes the Wii mote is a wand and its the best selling console of this generation.
It can be used to enhance controller-centric game experiences, unlike the Wii which is either-or. And in what way am I "crying" about Sony using a wand? I actually love what they've come up with, but Natal is equal in its own way. I said it didn't need a wand. Somehow that makes me a cry-baby? Grow up and stop trying to start stupid arguments.

There, fixed. See, Natal looks good. Sony have a wand. A freaking wand, for God's sake. You wave it around, how is that any better than the Wiimote?
Well first realize that when it comes to interactive cameras Sony has already gone over that ground with the Sony Eye toy back during the PS2 days and it is still used today as a peripheral. So a wand would be the next step to increase interactivity.

Natal could be considered Microsoft's eye toy in it's most basic form. A camera that lets the user be the controller. Sony has done that.

Also for the wii, Nintendo actually created something new and old at the same time with the wiimote. A simple concept where the basic action or gesture allows players to experience the motion when playing a game. It enables people to be able to play a game without having to learn 12 different buttons and what each of them do. That was the power of the Sony eye toy and that is the power of the wiimote. It seems that more people would rather hold a controller than nothing at all.
Yeah, I can sit down with the wii mote and wave it around, but actually being active? I thought one of the main arguments of the boxoids was that noone wants to move around and play a game, oh, it's just a gimmick, nintendo will die soon, the wii remomte is sooo lame. Look how you hand fed leash bitches are hopping right on the bandwagon after the weak wii proved its modest little point. Guess you only put microsoft flavored balls in your mouth bue.
seems like kwil and fsanch have the situation clear and vivid in their minds tho.

Nintendo must have seen it coming in the first place. They probably planned what thye are going to do way before the Wii was released.

MS and Sony shouldn't have done this anyway. Who ever wants a system only for motion control will go to the Wii anyway. Just develope some god damn good games.

It don't mean anything until the games come out.

Motion controls (along with other esoteric forms of control or gameplay) have promised many times to revolutionize games. The closest any of them has come is the Wii, which dedicated an ENTIRE CONSOLE to motion controls, and which, I think you would agree, hasn't exactly single-handedly ushered in a new era of games yet.

Nope. I'm still not buying it. Nintendo can act all hunky dorey all they want, but they're still bad developers according to this year's e3. I'm telling you all, Motion controls do not make a good game.

Besides, no game could cover up the horror of the WII HEART MONITOR. Not even Metroid.

Microsoft's Natal seems like just another Eyetoy. And don't think I'm a Sony fanboy in this situation. I'm not looking forward to the PS3's motion control either.

Call me a broken record, but they need to really focus on the online content. I'd really like some more PSN fun.

Meh. Too little, too late. - They're wasting their time trying to do this.

As for Nintendo?

Who cares. They have plans, but they're long-term, and I don't think anyone here is going to like them. (which was the point of that other thread, pendragon9... :p)
At least, not for a long time.

I think Microsoft and Sony are about embarass themselves with their motion sensing stuff. That's probably why Nintendo doesn't care. People sit and talk trash about the Wii all day and night, but the fact still remains, they have out sold both the 360 and PS3 by boat loads. I'm sure Nintendo could care less if their system is referred to as "kiddy". Everyone knows more than one person who owns the console, and more than likely, at least one of them is a person who would never get into gaming otherwise. That's something neither MS or Sony could pull off in their wildest dreams.

We'll see if developers are willing to invest in either Microsoft's or Sony's motion control setups.

Meh, honestly, Project Natal is just a Glorified Eyetoy that Sony already made... years ago. :S And I really don't care for all this motion control stuff anymore, I think Yahtzee said it best that games are used to unwind, I don't care for flailing my arms around like a jackass after getting home from work, I think that motion controls should be optional, not a requirement.

Well considering that Sony invented the Eyetoy, Nintendo are basically welcomeing Sony to the world they created. Strange.
Except Nintendo was still first, with the Nintendo Power Glove [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove].

Well then, it's a bit late for welcomes, isn't it?

People will pay to use motion control when their games are good without it?
