FK, we all know that you indeed are a troll, so your words don't matter much here. Most people know who I am and what I'm about, so calling me a fanboy makes you' look even more ignorant to the facts. Defensive post? Hardly. I am simply echoing what the industry sees, as I do work within it. I apologize for bursting your bubble, but Natal will not be the "Jesus of motion controls" that you hope it will be. Your view that you plan to stick by is extremist and baseless. I will rescind my statement if you can prove to me now what grounds exist to make the casual market, (who btw, will either neer hear of Natal, or will this week and forget by the time it releases), will suddenly shift gears to play tennis games (as shown in the Natal demo) when its only shown to be as good as a experience as Wii Sports tennis. I don't want to hear "just you wait!", that's not how the industry works. There's either an interest or a lack thereof for a product to even work with it, and the general buzz thus far is as stated last post, which I feel no need to reiterate. If you want clarification and/or proof of this, look how much support Nintendo had for the Wii at first. A lot of publishers and developers weren't interested in the system at the time. Natal will need to prove its usefulness, it will not be initially accepted by the industry as it is by loney 20-somethings who think they have mastered all knowledge of the world (and I paraphrase now - hint). When Natal can show its usefulness to the existing 360 market, core fps/action games, then it will muster experience. Steven Spielberg is nothing in this industry, he's a movie director, thus insignificant to the industry. You might as well say that Jay-Z loves MotionPlus. It's all irrelevant. Tell me Will Wright or Kojima are crazy about Natal, it wil have merit. Spielberg does for the game industry what George Bush Jr. does for calculus. To make you feel better, I'm not writing off Natal outright, or saying "Natal sucks! LULZ!". I'm saying that the device will not attract the larger casual market, and should really start answering questions the industry has, which basically are about how it will apply to the userbase the 360 is known for. |
Disagree with all the bolded as I know i'm not a troll as I don't have funny green hair, rest of your reply is good though,
