I'm against motion control on anything other than the Wii. But out of Natal and Arc, I'd buy the Arc. At least then there's something to hold...
Sony Thinks Arc can Stand up to Natal "PR Barrage"
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
So Natal will sell five copies while Arc will sell one, good to know. I really don't like the idea of motion controls, I want to be able to just sit down and play games without either breaking the stuff in my house or looking like an ass while I play.
I really enjoyed the eyetoy back in the day and the PSeye is selling for about a handful of beans these days so i doubt it will cost a lot to get on board with it.
I'm quite looking forward to seeing what Sony is going to deliver here. While its nothing close to original it has more potential on the face of it then Natal to be something good to play games with as i don't really see the practicality (or appeal) of playing a games console with no controls what so ever, things will either be overcomplicated or over simplified.
To me Natal appears to be more of a flashy "look what i can do" interface where as arc seems to be more about just the games but i guess i will still probably get both so we shall see!

That looks like a compact Anal Probe...
But if I feel like a motion sensitive stick I'd just use the Wii, and if I need higher quality, Motion+.
It seems a little redundant next to the Wii, I'm sorry, it just does.
At least Natal is something new or at the very least a colossally overhauled eyetoy rather than a copycat version of something that's been about for a few years.
Extra thought: It's Sony, and what's the point of releasing something if the bulk of their customers wait 2 years to actually buy it.

Everything since the Atari 2600 has been said to be ruining it for the "Consumers". Ironically, the only things that ever managed it were E.T. and Pac Man...JaredXE said:
OT - I gotta say, this is a big risk. There are gamers out there that can remember in minute detail what Hideo Kojima said ten years ago about what colour he was thinking of painting his bathroom (Pale Teal, if you're interested), so if this fucks up and Sony tries to deny it, the shitstorm could do some serious damage to Sony's already shaky credibility...
That is simply a testament to how good my legs would look in a pink tu-tu. The device is still ugly as hell.squid5580 said:
I just like in the begining of the console war, sony was the one bragging about their console capabilities and microsoft was quitely making profit, now it looks that the roles have switched.
I don't much give a crap about Arc, nor do I much care about Natal, but one thing I would like, and I don't even know if they're doing it, is to be able to motion control the DVD functions for the 360.
With Natal, I wouldn't need to even hold anything, just a hand gesture to pause, skip scenes, fast forward, etc... I don't know if they're including that or not, but I hope so, and would get Natal for that alone.

As is my feelings with the Natal, I'm not interested in the technology, only in how they use it. If they can use it to make new and interesting games, rather than just shovelware titles or games that implement the controller only to a slight and meaningless degree, then I'll consider if it's worth the price. Otherwise, I'm completely indifferent on the matter of how it looks, how accurate it is, etc.
I'm all for motion control, as long as they don't disrespect the consumer (ie. Me) by offering absolute crap and calling it a game.

Well ya but it is like a good purse. You know the one that takes the nice outfit and you put that purse over your shoulder and it goes from nice to WOWsers. And if you can get some tools drill 2 holes into it. 1 big and one small. Put a screen over the big hole and fill it with glitter through the small. It isn't just how good you look but the overall effect.SniperWolf427 said:
