lol at the gifs. These are hilarious!

Comedy gold.

i love gifs!

lol..yeah. good stuff guys.

I think you are SO missing the point here.  Yes the tech demos are casual in nature - and they are clearly telling developers "we can do Wii too" - but the thing that is mind-blowing about that hardware capability is the extent of the possibilities - and make no mistake - they go WAY beyond anything the Wiimote is capable of.  

If that demo of Milo that Peter Molyneaux was showing is ANYWHERE near as legit as they made it seem, then this is revolutionary.  And I am not talking gaming.  Think of how touch screens changed everything.  Now make it voice-recognizing, facial-recognizing, extraneous movement-filtering, etc.  Seriously?  And the complexity of the interactions in that demo are mind numbing.  Think of how many possible reactions have to be programmed for a real conversation to take place.

This is NOT about being able to play Boom Blox without a remote.  This is much more.

IF it works.

As a motion control its more limiting than the Wiimote because of its lack of pointer capability, as was seen on the demo its very imprecise and is mostly just flailing.

Ofc that demo it's 100% scripted. He is saying something like "WHAT IF this would be possible using Artificial Intelligence ..." thing which is many many years far from possible.

Even if it would be possible, do you think you will ever see that in game ? Would they work several months on each RPG NPC to make it like that ? It's awesome tech, I say it again, but you won't see anything more advanced than Wii Sports in the next 5 years coming out of it. Please think about it and be honest with yourself.

Wii's huge advantage is that it's a BRIDGE between classic and full motion. Wiimote's highest plus it's IR not motion. IR openened a lot of posibilities while closing almost none.

Retarded developers abused motion thus making players wave their hands like *******. It's developer fault here. Serious games uses quite few motion moves and plenty of buttons.

Also this technology it's nothing new, it has been done many years ago. The only new thing is having it included in a home console.

Actually what he said was that these tech demos are all up and running in closed door sessions at E3 THIS year.  To what extent, we will find out as the 1ups and GamePros and IGNs of the world get their looks at them.

But we don't know how far they've come.  If, as many suggest, they are merely ripping off the Wii once they realized how successful it was, then they have come a LONG way in two years or less.  

As for every NPC acting like that kid - well duh.  Obviously not.  But every system works off a lowered system of what is possible.  The most beautiful PS3 game from year one or two is a fraction of what will come in a couple years.  The best 360 launch title is a fraction of what we saw today from Alan Wake's lighting alone.  It's a target demo to show devs what the possibilities are.

I think you're underselling it, but neither of us know for sure.  We'll wait and see.  We're not going to see it for two years at least.  But we see here is that THIS is the Xbox 720, really.  It's going to be software and peripherals upgrading our current consoles, with perhaps a new chipset or upped specs evolving over the years versus a whole new console - more like upping the specs on a line of PCs rather than reinventing the wheel.  It's ensuring 360's 10-year life cycle as well.

My only regret is that i have..BONE-ITIS
