Microsoft Project Natal: Gaming's Revolution

On June 1, 2009 Microsoft changed the gaming industry. NO this is not a fanboy exclamation. By introducing the world to true motion technology, where you don't need a controller. Microsoft has opened up gaming in a new way. If Nintendo's Wii were a crack in the 4th wall, Microsoft has not only tore it down like the Berlin wall. They have out right shown us the future that exists in this existing generation. Forget graphics motion gaming arrives with "Project Natal". Gaming's revolution is here.

This actually makes me want to go out and buy a 360 ASAP! Good job MS.

Simply MS has come to the E3 to dominate. To not only show the games that no other system will have but the content (DLC) that no one else will have. They entered the show a competitor of Sony and left Sony in the dust. There is no way Sony is going to come on stage tomorrow and show off anything as incredible as what MS has done today.

Sony may show some games, a new controller but they will not bring their customers Facebook, Twitter or a completely new way to video games. They will not be revolutionizing the industry. No streaming music, instant movies or the hit games.

While I am floored by the MS show, I can not wait for Sony to come and give us gamers what we have always wanted. More now than ever, Sony has to bring it and there is no way they can bring what MS just did. This E3 is make or break for Sony. They have lost all of their big titles and now they have little to hold over MS.

Now before you Sony fans go crazy I want to make it clear that I own a PS3 as well. I have a Wii too. Both the PS3 and the Wii like to gather dust as they are not my consoles of choice. Games (multiplatform) are better on the 360 and Live is a lot better than PSN. While I don"t want Sony to fail, I am tired of have second rate experiences with the system. Even the features of the network are p*ss poor. I still can not send a simple voice message. Just as G4 tv stated before the MS show, using a headset with the PS3 is mediocre at best. All of this and so much more adds....

Funk it. Tomorrow will speak for itself. You have one Shot Sony. Good luck!

Anyone else think that chick playing that game looked ridiculous? I couldn't stop laughing at her. I wonder how much they paid her to make an ass of herself on stage.

It looks ok I guess, then again so did the wii controls when it was first announced.

Hmm, I'm a bit skeptical by the 'scanning in a skateboard' thing. Not sure if that's going to happen. As for Milo, impressed me, but was it a real product and for what purpose?
Do people really WANT a virtual boy trapped in the TV at regular intervals?
I dunno, but the cam was quite impressive, the whole concept of it, just need to see the proof with my own eyes other than a few Eyetoy games that were put on display onstage. I just hope they use this motion control the right way and not just for silly little games, lets get some proper games out of this.

I was so impressed with MS Press Conference. Please, don't get involved PS3 fanboys. This doesn't concern you. Don't just come around to b*tch. We have every right to enjoy our own console just as you have every right to enjoy yours. It seems like all you've been doing all day long is ragging on MS. I'm certainly not going to judge you based on an E3 press conference.

I won't bother you if you won't bother me. MS did a hell of a job today. I was so impressed. Thanks for your courtesty PS3 fans. I'm sure you'll respect my plea.

This whole bashing of the consoles need to stop. Let the 360 gamers enjoy the games they have and the ps3 enjoy the games they have, same goes for the wii.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
