I like that about my threads. I never really let on if I'm joking or not. Well, at least not in the OP.

Anyways, I just think that these announcements were slightly more than the competition. 2 marios, metroid, and golden sun were just not as much. Nintendo did win if you do not factor in the PSP stuff, but I think the PSP slightly edges it out. It convinced me to buy a PSPGo, now that I know I will be able to play every single game on the PSP, and I have a brand new MGS and ResEvil, and it's in white!

I'll forgive you because I know you are angry.

From the Sony Conference: "You'll have to forgive him, he's from Australia."

What?

Nintendo had the worst conference.

Sony wasn't bad.

But M$ not only had the best graphics on show but had NATAL.
Already Ive had friends saying their missus wants this. And please dont ban me for this but 4 of them are selling their Wii's. If Natal gets marketing and sells a bundled Natal with an Arcade, maybe called Family pack for like $259 it would sell massively. NATAL is the biggest innovation in gaming for the last 20 years. Even if it doesnt fully sell amazing this gen. This tech will be improved and incorporated into the next Xbox.

No word on Versus, might see a second half 2010 release in Japan

That Natal camera stuff could be put in tv's.

^ But it's not is it. The whole turning on and off your Xbox by saying. On and Off, or as demoed. Hello and Goodbye. The minority report dashboard and the full motion control games, not preset movements of a controller.

Even the possibility of not needing a keyboard, because using facebok you could physically say the words Hello Mike, What have you been up to? And it get written straight doen for you. The possibilites are endless with this tech. Noone can any longer say that M$ don't innovate. Because this is innovation to the highest dergree.

Don't forget The Last Guardian is going to be one of the top 5 games ever! Sony dominated E3 this year.

HA! Expanded audience! Ok. Sure it can do that.

I do agree Sony won E3, at least for me, and it's because of the one announcement you totally forgot about, The Last Guardian. That is game of the forever here. Game of the Universe. Game of the Lightyear. I'm going to overhype this like no other Killzone has done before.

Surely you jest. Natal is a mocap camera right? This was seen on PS2 with the eyetoy, ergo it is not a mind blowing MS/Xbox innovation. If you want to give accolades to full body mocap in videogaming it must go to eyetoy as the point of origin. To be sure NATAL is a significant advance on the original eyetoy, though how much of an advance on the PS3 eye I don't know.

You can guarantee that the NATAL will come out with some handheld peripherals because no matter what people will always want to have something in their hands if their onscreen persona is also holding something.

In the end I think the NATAL and PS3 eye+wand thingy will be sufficiently similar that 3rd party developers will be able to make multiplatform titles for them, which is really to the benefit of both systems.

If you get too much need for full body movement in videogaming then people are going to need to have whole rooms dedicateed to playing, rather than having the system in the living room with bits of furniture all over the place to trip you up.

cheers for reminding me trattlesnake, i forgot that about my trip to the future

No I dont jest. People call the Wii nunchuck innovation when we have had sensors and pointers on previous games on consoles and PC's. Just because it has a camers means Eye Toy is to thank? I dont think so.

NATAL has full voice recognition. Even amongst other players in the room it can pick out your own. Full facial recognition. It knows each of the players by face and signs you in automatically. Full 3d body motion capture for multiple players. This sort of innovation for control has never been attempted.

Imagine no more typing in letters on your 360 remote. Instead you say what you want typed. No more needing a DVD controller. Just sit down scan through with your hand and watch FULL 1080P movies straight away. This isnt even close to what the eye toy was. And if your talking tech it's probably more like 8% eye toy 92% new tech. This is phenominal. Everyone Ive showed it to says they thought controlling your movie collection, flicking through Sky channels and Minority Report stuff was 10 years off. People love this news. Everyone I know wants it bad. If M$ advertise this well, anything can happen.
