Will Natal make you look stupid?

[mrhappyface]

I've been reading up on Natal with a friend, and although it seems very innotative in many ways, especially the Milo presentation, it just seems so silly in application. I never saw the potential in motion control, senese despit the nice feel of response, it's not sensetive or accurate enough to truly translate human motion. For example,

Does it really matter how you look while gaming? I'm sure most people don't game in front of a crowd.

Yea if you can't get a physical response this thing will fail.

And oh yea you will look stupid.

People look stupid using the Wii right now...

 

[Dango]

Yes, you will look stupid, incredibly stupid, it is inevitable.

 

[DividedUnity]

I seen that video yesterday and I thought straight away how they said the wii makes you look retarded. This is a whole other level of arm flailing confusion.

I know, but I'm usually play at home with some friends or family members. Waving my arms around like a spastic mentally ill person is not my cup of tea.

There's always multiplayer where they will be doing it too.

Besides do you really care that much how you look in front of your friends and family? They must be really judgmental if you are worried about looking stupid in front of them.

I sincerely hope that motion control is not the wave of gaming future, and its only an annoying fad.

 

[aPod]

Oh my goodness i hope it does make you look silly. It'll be a lot of fun laughing at my friends playing Natal.

Well no, but I don't think they'll appreciate the sight compared to me quietly sitting on the sofa, hitting away at the buttons.

 

[Jark212]

Well you won't look stupider then playing Wii, or Sony's Eye-toy...

 

[Omikron009]

It will definitely look stupid.

 

[CorruptCor3]

Yes. Yes you will. We all will. But that's OK in my books.

I like to think there is room for both. I don't want one to dominate the other, I think they can both stay.

Well no, but I don't think they'll appreciate the sight compared to me quietly sitting on the sofa, hitting away at the buttons.

You've got a point there...

 

[kyzill]

well let me ask you this. did you ever look cool playing the wii?

 

[mrhappyface]

well let me ask you this. did you ever look cool playing the wii?

Red Steel 2 still made me feel stupid, but I felt less stupid than in any other Wii game. Also, welcome to the Escapist.

 

[Flying-Emu]

well let me ask you this. did you ever look cool playing the wii?

Yes, thank you for asking.

 

[The Lunatic]

Well, the Wii does, so, I can't imagine this won't.

DDR, Guitar Hero, Karaoke, Rock Band, etc, etc.

All right, I always look cool so whatever. Though, to actually contribute, I would say that YES, we would all look weird at first but I think it will become like people walking around talking to their bluetooth headsets. It looks weird at first but then you assume that they are playing Natal so you dismiss it.

Do you ever look cool playing any console?
