arsenicazure on 19 January 2010

Maybe some thing a lil more "manly".. like excalibur.. I dont know..



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

I just have one question.....Is Natal the official name of Natal? I always thinked that the "project natal" is the name of the project, i`m 60% certainly that the name will be changed.
Natal is the name of a brazilian city, one of the man behind natal is brazilian and he said in a brazilian interview that in most of MS projects, they choose a name of a city in the world to call in initial phases of development.

Arc sounds stupid, but so does Gem. They should call it either AS or GS. AS for Arcshock controller and GS for Gemshock controller LOL

Arc is the mouse my wife gave me this Xmas... and its a MS mouse... so this name is not cool

also "Natal" is Christmas in Portuguese... with could be confusing for us in the holidays... for Americans, sure it can sounds cool... and its a lame name, if you ask me... not that my opinion matters anything to MS

the motion controlled version of Resident Evi l5 ("biohazard 5: alternative edition") is releasing on the 18th of feb in Japan (according to amazon.co.jp) - so the controller should be released by then, right?

Jesus, not long at all eh. Going to be really interesting to see how many points unbiased reviewers deduct for the hold one archmote with one hand, while holding a two handed controller with the other hand, problem.

ot: Its a kinda shitty name, but then so was the Wiimote.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Much better than Gem... but I think an explanation is in order, as the controller looks nothing like an Arc.

because sony's motion controller with create an arc connecting the core and casual which will complete sony's core value of having an all in one complete experience on the ps3...

...i made that up.

I like Jeanne D'Arc and I guess I'll like PS3 th'Arc.

the media shorthanded it to natal from project natal.  i'm 95% sure that it will get a name change prior to relase...probably at E3 or something.

Should have called it "PSThree-Mote", then when the fidelity wasn't high enough they could have released "PSThree-Motion Plus".

I don't care what it's called, I just hope it's bundled with Gold Edition RE5 so I can replay the game and get more trophies for it. I loved RE5!



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.
