So not only is Microsoft coming up with a stupid name, but they're advertising for it on late night talk shows?
This is all too familiar... I wonder if they'll get Ellen, Conan, and Colbert, and be used live at the Oscars, and then end up on cruise ships and in retirement homes and rehabilitation clinics. I'll keep my eye on this Natal.
The Breakout game looks fun, and looks much better than it did during the E3 conference. It was good to see 4 different people try it with different styles, rather than the girl just jumping around like crazy. I wonder why the player's body is segmented though, and why the balls have to be soooooo big. I remember Breakout/Arkanoid/Super Glove Ball all having little tiny balls that are really hard to hit. Are they making Breakout even more casual? It's a Flash game. I also loved how he said "It's like a 3-D Breakout," as if anybody other than gaming history nerds like us even know what Breakout is. |
Sony defense force is working hard tonight. If you followed ANY MS info, you should know that "Natal" is a codename like the Nintendo Revolution.

I'll let this mistake slide since you're a new member with only 124 posts, but I am definitely not in the Sony Defense Force! In fact, here's a 2007 interview at GameDaily proving that I'm in the Nintendo Defense Force: http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/features/console-defense-forces/?biz=&page=2
I gotta remember to put that back in my sig.
Anyway, I don't think it can be argued that Nintendo changed the way game companies advertise new tech and try to court casual markets. That's all I was getting at. I am very intrigued by all the new camera motion technologies coming out. Luckily the first one will be on the Wii this Christmas so i can try it out in a few months. And I'm gonna try to talk my 360-owning friends into buying Natal so I can try it at their house.
