How are you quoting me? My thread is still broken? could be because i'm set to 100 posts per thread...

I'm assuming you're talking about Ruse since Assassin's Creed 2 will likely hit the PC. I think it looked really cool. You sure it's not going to be a PC game? I thought you said you like the PC a while back but I wasn't sure. lol.


Yeah, right now I only own a lousy PC =P. And I may be wrong but I remember reading only "XBOX360" and "PS3". If I am wrong... YEY! =DDD 'Bout the quoting: i'm just hitting the "quote" button under your post.

"How hard would it be to randomize facial features and skin tones? That's what we want, to feel like we're killing hundreds of different people. Not a bunch of clones or twins. We want to know, deep down, that there are hundreds of grieving mothers out there, lamenting the terror of our dreaded blade."

BROKEN THREAD IS BROKEN!!

I love how everyone jumps for the "Wii is Doomed!!!ZQ!A!!" right away. Only took a few hours for this to be overturned (Wii got it's own camera). Take it easy, Microsoft had a good conference for gamers but its nothing that is going to shift the console wars.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

What MS showed today was about a hundred times more impressive than anything I've seen done with the Wii remote.

It doesn't matter if it only works with casual games. Wii Fit, Wii Sports and Mario Kart are what's selling the Wii and they can all be accomplished with this device.

If it costs anywhere under $100 and Microsoft advertise it smartly, Nintendo will have some competition.


Thank you for bringing up Mario Kart. I have said before that this game shows that Nintendo understands the value of physical objects. How many fewer copies would have sold had Nintendo not included the wheel? Invite your Wii-Sports only friends over to play Mario Kart and hand them the remote sideways and you aren't going to sell them on the game. People like to hold things. This is cool tech that has its place, but it is limited by more than just lack of buttons.

I was thinking about the same thing when I saw the demo of the girl driving with her two hands hold up. I was wondering how tolerant it would be for the gap between the two hands. There is no guaratee how a player can keep the same exact posture for the whole game especially when there are quick turns.

In addition, I was also wondering on how it would work with games in Wii Sports. Is it gonne detect all the hand movement for Bowling? accuracy for Golf and Tennis? It would be great for Boxing and Baseball though. However, for Golf, Tennis or Baseball, would the user miss holding something since the actual sport requires the players to hold a club, a raquet or a bat? Can a player bring his own club/raquet/bat to use?

A killer game would help MS selling this new contrller. However, that game was not shown today.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I imagine that you could still hold objects and use the Natal. So if you were racing, you could hold any disc shaped object and have that better feel to it. Same with tennis and so on. Of course it could get a little more dangerous to swing that stuff around in the living room, but at least there are options that could make the experience feel more real.

Absolutely not . I'm jsut saying for the people who complain about not having something in their hands, there are options out there. Personally I think Natal looks awesome and people are just finding things to complain about becuase they love Nintendo/Sony and don't see it for what it is, a potential major breakthrough in video games.

I honestly don't see any potential breakthrough... because I realy can't see how it can be used in a way that will revolutionize video game industry, and they didn't show me. I can see how it can be used like EyeToy. Besides that... voice recognition is software. Facial recognition is useless (why not fingerprint or eye recognition?), and can also be created by software.

The technology is something I don't know as new (I saw that long time ago), but really: that's not the point. I don't want technology... I want to know what they are going to do with it. And what I saw until now is really not also not new, as something that doesn't interests me.
