I can't believe the number of people here that are on "kill the messenger" mode when we deal about Malstrom.

Words like "hardcore", "casual", "blue ocean" and "disruption" are thrown all over the place, but many of the incumbents fans don't really understand their meanings...

So much hate to Malstrom right there that i need to express it : "i support you, Mal !"

MS astroturfers are hard at work since months even here.

All these Malstrom threads make them inevitably come out, didn't you notice they all get huge numbers of posts trying to kill the messenger?

It's funny also that the MS astroturfers and shills (or viral marketers like Malstrom say) are still stuck in their "attack the messenger" and "syndrome of false authority" tactics. MS vaporware is always orchestrated so that their shills can do their job with the syndrome of false authority: how can you say Spielberg is lying? how can you say can't be believed? Of course, none of these people have any knowledge in gaming and can be fooled pretty easily.

I completely agree with Malstrom on this one BTW. For now, Natal is completely vaporware.

Vaporware was the main MS tactic to destroy its competitors in other fields, as MS is a marketing company.

But it doesn't seem to work in gaming industry. It sure enough didn't work against another competitor similar to Nintendo in master of their field: Apple.

I think this is why MS lost control of the Natal hype: vaporware doesn't work in the gaming industry, and they don't understand entertainment either (they never did since they started trying to steal from Apple 20 years ago).

 

I'm still waiting for true informations, like what exactly is in the SDK sent to developers? It's software AND hardware, right?

Where are the people who tested that Natal thing? I see only selected people tried it behind closed doors. This makes no sense and is just not like the Wii, at all.

If it ever comes out, I still say this Natal thing is bound to fail, with the current informations leaked.

Nintendo are successful because of honesty, originality, creativity and quality. Right?

But MS is a successful company only because they're nasty ruthless copycat liars.

Exactly!

Also, I still don't understand the MS and Sony fanboys. Years of laughing at the stupid wiimote, and now all of a sudden, it is the cool thing to do.  I bought my ps3 for the hardcore games, not for waggle. Sony and MS are going three feet under soon if they keep going like this.

You act as if every single HD gamer was against motion control... good job one siding this shit.  I don't know what to think of your comments... I mean are you a Wii fanboy of some sorts?  You can't seem to find a balance in your discussions and you keep talking about Microsoft as if this is the same company that it was in the 90s.  The Xbox team has gone to great lengths to find a solution they feel takes the next step and for this thought of trying something new they get dogged left a right.... I don't know about you, but you guys are sounding awful lot like the anti-wii guys did back when they showed off the Wiimote.

No. I'm tired of everyone in the world copying Nintendo. Over and over and over again. Shit's never going to end.

Also, I'm not wii fanboy. I'm still a Nintendo fanboy at heart

Now maybe i'm just seeing things, but Project Natal doesn't look anything like a Wiimote... but that SMC look strangly like a Wiimote(with a ball)
