Trick question.  You will never look cool.

Well sonys wand is the only one you can bring to the night club and it'll look like it fits in.

Or atleast you could in the 80s.. And everyone likes the music of the 80s.

Fits right in.

@ words of wisdom You are way too smart for your own good.

@ Staude That's from the 70's. Still hilarious though.

umh... well if you look at red steel 2, the guy in the ad doesn't look like a fool while using it... though it's an ad.

in reality, I think 1:1 motion will make you look cooler for stuff like tennis and golf. for the rest, it really depends on how the controls are done.

But in any case, you don't look cool with a big glowing ball in front of you..... Natal is really too uncertain, need to see how well it responds... but playing SFV on that will probably make you look uncool... I mean most people will do their high kicks 30cm off the ground instead of 1.6M... that or they'll trip :p

Remember when you made that accusation? You know, the one about how natal "doesn't have perfect reception"? Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house, Mr. Mod.

I watched part of the video. Apart looking creepy, uncanny valley and mildly boring, it looked quite well done to me, and the issue you're writing about is possibly due to obvious spatial limits of the motion detection system: its field can't reach the monitor's surface, so the monitor's plane can be a projection of a physical plane at least at a minimum distance from it. Staying too slose to the screen, moreover, more and more distortion happens, the result of these two things combined is a non linear feedback when the user tries to touch the screen and the feedback showing interaction with things on the screen plane when the user reaches the minimum distance plane.

Sony will look the coolest if you turn of the lights and just have two glowing balls making nice patterns in the dark.

Apart from that I reckon that 'looking cool' and playing a game using motion control are near enough mutually exclusive.

I'd love to see a video of Borat or Bruno using this stuff though. Can you imagine?

And you agreed with me, although I guess you failed to read my message. I said it doesn't have perfect reception, and then you countered by saying it had near perfect reception. So yeah, you kind of agreed with me and affirmed my point.

I've got my own expression. Don't throw rocks with your enemy if you're supposed to be throwin them at him.

you do know that the wii mote can sense depth right?

and having ir point is way more accurate then what sony can do

Ugh.  If there was one thing that could possibly make me want to curb-stomp that idiot more than I do right now, you just said it.
