Natal, much like Sony's controller and WM+, will do very well for a couple of games. Then, when all the people who thought they would like 1:1 get a chance to see what it really does to a game, the backlash will be swift and spectacular. All three get motion control very wrong by focusing on a simulationist "do as I do" interface, as opposed to an entertaining "do what I mean" interface. People don't want to be reminded of their limitations -it's just not fun- and 1:1 is all about limiting the game to what the player is capable of. It doesn't lend itself to the epic feats and escapism that gaming is all about, and that is why it will fail.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
