First and foremost i'd like to punch this guy in the mouth and secondly why is he comparing God of War3 with gears, mw2,ff13 and forza is he for real. but seriously i'd want to puch him in the mouth

Most games are better off played with a controller of some kind. It's more about the interface that natal will bring.

and the innovation question is a joke...halo, xbox live, and 1080p streaming?

halo- awesome game but the only thing innovative about it was the 16 player LAN play(which was so much fun btw). other than that it was just another fun splitscreen shooter...now goldeneye n64 that was innovative

xbox live- pc games were online way before the xbox was and I'm not sure about the timeline but ps2 broadband might have been out too with socom online around the same time live came out...$50 dollars a year is innovative though

1080p streaming- yea you're the only ones with this nonsense big win for you...how about you show me FFXIII in 1080p 0_o :)

natal- the first device I've seen from microsoft that is actually innovative and holds potential and may not only be the future of gaming but also the future of microsoft's success in the console business.

honestly though with microsoft trying to innovate (which they really haven't at all this being their first real attempt) with natal and create something new, given their track record with console quality and windows OS quality i would wait a few months and see if natal has any issues before buying it

AG: Xbox 360 has a strong history of innovation.


LOLOLOLOL All I can think of is the whole putting a hard drive in. But sony had plans for that already with the PS2.

Also. the games he names for graphics. Gears 2? Great graphics. MW2? eh decent.(sub HD res) Forza? Decent. FFXIII? Lol blurry textures and a drop of resolution. I expect him to be biased. His job depends on it.

Also I don't think the whole "your body is the controller" will work for standard games with how they do this. You can't do anything but wave your body around. How do you move forward? Backward? Sideways? Pull triggers. etc etc. I like the concept. Just don't think it will make it. Its a better eyetoy. And look how well THAT sold. Even on the PS2.

I hope some of you go into sony and nintendo threads with your simpsons did it nonsense.
Strong history of innovation, Achievements, XBL (yeah the PC is a console) Natal, are all very well known immidtaded (or copied even on the PC) so yes it has a strong history of innovation.
Maybe some of you need to learn the difference bewteen "strong" AND "long" though I doubt you would be missing the distinction or even care if it was not in a MS forum.

Never ceases to amaze me how people overreact to PR statements.

I've said this with Sony PR, Nintendo PR, and Microsoft PR, but it always falls upon deaf ears.

Greenburg has no idea what he talks about so I don't even bother pointing out the mistakes in his PR talks.

I'm 100% sure this guy does not play video games.

Make what you will out of this.
