Isn't that kind of the point about this article though, Legend? That Microsoft went for headlines but didn't really provide any actual substance for the story that one would expect to find right underneath that headline? Microsoft says "Hey, look at this amazing piece of technology we've got, even Steven Spielberg likes it" and then gives us no evidence at all that the thing will actually be useful as a gaming device. If you're going to show off a piece of equipment that has no known release date or retail software (either working or planned) and is probably even a work in progress, you really do need to prove that it has a point if you want anyone to get excited for it. This article suggests that they really aren't at the point where they should be bringing out Spielberg, they're at the point where they should probably bring out a game designer who can say "This is how we can actually use the thing!" Because so far, the most impressive part of their unvealing wasn't the camera itself, but how those two people were able to make that funky Elephant shape. And we don't need a camera for that, we can do that with a lightbulb and a sheet. |
How can people say this. There is a reason Natal was on GMA and Jimmy Fallon. It is because they do have actual substance. It takes balls to show off technology like this 1.5 years out. Has Sony actually lets someone outside of thier labs play with the Sony WiiMote+? I havent heard of anyone getting to try it hands on. Have you?
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
