Forums - Nintendo - if Nintendo had shown Natal instead...

dark_gh0st_b0y on 06 June 2009

gamers would say the show was awful and the worst in E3, and Nintendo would have received even more hate than now...



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Probably, yeah.

But that would've happened no matter what Nintendo showed. It's happening at some places right now.

And such is the industry bias towards Microsoft.

Sadly, I think you are correct.

The non/anti-Wii fans perhaps, but what would the Wii fans have said? I'm certain most of them would be singing its praises just as many 360 fans are right now.

Flip the coin, they're all as bad as each other.

Fanboys will always be fanboys, they're predictable and uninteresting. What's interesting is to look at the reactions of the sources who are supposed to be more critical, like the gaming media.

Hardly. I'd be saying the exact same thing I'm saying now - "It's never gonna work". And even if it did, god it looks troublesome. There's a reason we play games instead of going out and doing all this shit in real life.

I think Natal, for games, is a living disaster. For things like browsing the internet or such, though, it could be pretty cool. Moving windows with your hands and all that.

Yet you only said 'Sadly, I think you are correct' to the OP, apparently signing up to the view that gamers would be completely dismissing it, whilst at the same time ignoring the reality that there would be a large number of opposing fans praising it>>>

True... I guess I jumped to the conclusion that the OP was not just talking about fan reactions.

Why do you victimize yourselves?
Natal looks really cool.

So does M+.

Nobody knows which will be more popular. M+ might just not be adopted the intended way, and Natal might never carry a good game.

Natal looks cool for sure. The interesting question is, are the claims that it's the "future of gaming", a "megaton" and things like that warranted?

well for once i'm gonna have to agree with ya. I can't see myself going around and saying "pew pew pew" to shoot someone. How would you move in a fps ?

 

 

Anyways we'll see what comes out of it. I can't really be too negative concidering i'm pretty excited for sonys remake of saturday night fever with a slight touch of harry potter wands.
