As far as sitting there with your hands in the air with nothing to hold...no way...M$ has to be planing hand held peripherals, no different than the Wii has...golf clubs for Tiger Woods...bats, fishing rods, light sabers and yes...steering wheels...remember...this thing can do anything...Nintendo makes a fortune on those things...M$ is all about the money...EVERYBODY is...did you see Virgin getting back into gaming...lol...no money in gaming my butt...

Just, don't know when to shut up do you. It's not like you're being attacked because of a single comment. You constantly troll 360 threads with negative comments. You NEVER have anything even halfway descent to say about anything Microsoft.

Just like with anything too much is always a bad thing, this is why the word "Too" in front of it. You my friend talk "TOO" MUCH crap, and most people are sick of it. There is a fine line between jealous and hate, you seem to have blurred the lines even more. Perhaps some sort of sick internal fear is play a covert role in it for you.

Either way, enough with the constant trolling.

KingME5823d ago

1. They give GREAT discounts to students for purchasing software for school.
2. They always release a Military appreciation version of MS office, they also release a Military appreciation 360 bundle with additional stuff in it. (Haven't seen the military appreciation PS3 yet.)
3. They have actually made the gaming genre more competitive which has help in driving innovation in the gaming market.
4. One thing that has always been true is, (don't believe me try it for yourself.) if you have as many hater as MS does then you must be doing something right.

JokesOnYou5823d ago (Edited 5823d ago )

Personally, I don't think Natal is a good fit for driving games, most other genre's I think it will work fine.

Now as for peenywise and the other sony trolls well, of course they don't know that micro has some free offers, SDF members are not well informed about the competition, their just given their talking points and ordered to hit the forums like good little soldiers. You see how peenywise went all off topic about OS, Apps etc, he couldn't help himself, the hate is strong within him....he'll never go off topic about how sony sells the most expensive TV's and everything else they make compared to other quality brands like Samsung, sony's comparable models are usually more expensive, unless the store itself is having a sale, but hey thats busisness. Also micro gives a helluva lot to charity, how much does sony donate? You won't find him calling out sony as the devil when their caught in lies about games being gameplay, or their BS about rumble, BS about consumer working hard, and of course when the premium "paid" psn service comes about it will be great news. You see people only cherry pick the bad things, and YES micro loves money and over-charges for alot of different things, just like most companies.

but peenywise thinks the ps3 is much cheaper today because sony loves him, lol

Reply Agree 3 Disagree 3

Shadow Flare5823d ago (Edited 5823d ago )

Well "reworked" probably means its going to work how burnout paradise worked with natal. You make a steering wheel with your hand to steer and act like your feet are pressing pedals to move

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
(skip to half way unless you want to see more red ball fun)

Problem with this is like the guy in the video said, a racing game is fast so any lag will kill the experience. I'm yet to be convinced that natal is that responsive. And even in the video there was a half second delay.

My other problem with this is, how long will it take before your feet are killing you? Or even your arms? Holding your arms out straight for an hour can get achy and tiring.

And then my biggest problem with it...how does it enhance the experience? I could probably [read: definately] play the game better with a controller. So this game would probably come under the catogory to me of, "play it for 10 minutes to see what its like, but probably never touch it again"

It's not a far cry from the sixaxis ps3 controllers. Some games like burnout, motorstorm and wipeout all have options where you can steer the car by tilting the controller like a steering wheel. And i can guarentee nobody chose that option when properly playing the game. Why? Because it was a gimmick and it was crap

Reply Agree 6 Disagree 5

thor5823d ago

Shadow Flare - Holding your arms out for an hour? How about five minutes. Your arms will get tired even after that short a time.

When playing games with a controller, you get into the most comfortable position, and you rest your arms. When you use motion control on the Wii it is either subtle movements or occasional movement - and you can still hold the controller in the most comfortable postion for you, resting your arms.

With Natal, it is necessarily an active experience in a short burst (at least with the burnout example). Subtle movements will not be well-recognised but more importantly they will be more difficult to judge (there's no spring like on an analogue stick to return your hand to the default position).

It's not like they didn't have games, Microsoft just traditionally saves all of its stuff for E3. And it still hasn't been officially announced yet.

It's a little disappointing this game isn't going to be free anymore. I was looking forward to a game that I could just mess around with online and not have to think that much. Pretty much just mess around. If this is true, hopefully they do a good job with the game and it isn't just thrown together quickly just to have a game.

Godmars2905823d ago

Seriously though, they're making a game that use to be free into a Natal title, and you mean to tell me that it took pre-E3 to learn about it?

Why do you think I've been dumping on the damn thing all this time? This is a throwaway title, shovelware, that should have been used to show Natal's diversity. Since its already been out should have been right next to "BALL to the Wall!" and more importantly the Burnout demo they retrofitted but had no intention of re-releasing as a full game.

People are going to say this is part of MS's strategy, but considering how in contrast Sony has shown what Move can do with frame work titles, SOCOM4 and open tech demos, this only convinces me that its a bad strategy.

There are quite a few games in the pipeline for Natal Launch. Unlike Sony, Nintendo and MS do not leak all their games before a press conference.
Like it or not, by NOT telling details of Natal games adds the hype. Its called good business practice and since this is a business, thats why they are doing it. Apple for example are masters at this.
It's simply AMAZING that the people on this site have no grasp of this concept. I assume MS for them should have told everything about Natal before its release. LOL

Elven65823d ago

Do you even have an Xbox 360?

Fable III was also teased to use Natal, Microsoft traditionally saves a lot of their stuff for E3 even if it is going to release in the same year. Take a look at Forza 3 last year, it was announced at E3 and sold over 1 million copies as of December 8th, 2009.

http://xbox360.ign.com/arti...

Sony held a separate event for the Move stuff but to be fair, they HAD to since so little was known about Move. Natal however was shown more at E3, TV, etc so they had/have the ability to wait since the hype was already their.

will this not just be like controlling motorstorm with the six axis; the only difference being that this will have increased lag, will be painful on the arms and feet and be frustratingly less responisve than a device with button feedback. I think for a racing game, and most games, any form of control with an object is a lot more fun and practical than just pretending.

mcgrawgamer5823d ago

and I'm sure the countless hours you've spent testing, designing, and reviewing natal helped you come up with those remarks correct?

table5823d ago (Edited 5823d ago )

Actually, it is my innate ability to form an opinion based on the information that's readily available. I've seen the lag, I've seen the problems with more complex feedback (natal isn't easier than pressing a button), and have you ever tried waving for more than 30 seconds? It gets sore, and holding your arms out in front of you is even harder. Watch the burnout video and tell me again that what I said can not be justified.

Of course it's my opinion based on the evidence, but you can't accuse me of not thinking logically.

Agree 0 Disagree 1

mcgrawgamer5823d ago

"and have you ever tried waving for more than 30 seconds?"

well I can do more than what mere mortals can do, but you make valid points never disputed that. It's refreshing to see people make statements and have legitimate rebuttal when they are questioned. Especially on this site.

On topic however yes I've seen the burnout footage and I personally believe fatigue will play a role for all the motion controlled offerings regardless if something is in one's hand or not, but that can go for anything really that's not done in moderation. Wii elbow, Playstation thumb, etc,. As far as the lag goes I've only read what people have said about lag so I can't and won't make a judgement on the lag of natal as I'm not sure if the media is using a final version or alpha hardware. Not saying that information isn't out there. I'm just that interested in Natal to look for it.

So do you really think they are still tweaking the hardware?

From the time they finalize the design until 12:00 AM Nov 4th:

They have to manufacture probably around a million of them.
They need to be boxed, warehoused, put onto cargo ships, planes & trucks. Distributed to every Wal-mart, Target, K-mart, Gamestop, Toys-r-us, etc.. in the country.

What you are seeing IS THE FINAL HARDWARE. Software updates can be downloaded and may improve things, but the basic problems you are seeing are REAL.

Guess what. It cant track anything

2. The lag (though not 5 seconds) it might as well be, because the lag is absurd, and wont work for gaming.
3. Every Kinect game is rubbish (that is coming from thousands of people that have played them, and millions of people that have working vision.
4. People hate on the Wii because it lacks hardcore games (Move doesn't have that problem)
5. Kinect is an Eye Toy rip off (can you show a game that will prove otherwise)
6. Kinect is broken. It is a fact. Microsoft is still going to sell it to as many people that are dumb enough to be fooled by their Bull$hit marketing.

Why defend Kinect anymore, it has only shown us that time after time, it is nothing more than a big fat F.U. to all 360 gamers everywhere.

Not 5.. but their is some second lag, maybe around 2. I went to Gamescom this year and tried it out so yes I HAVE played it.

"3. The games are all rubbish even tho they have not played them."

Once again I played some. And for some games you can already SEE its rubbish and the fun will die away after 15 mins.

"4. The Move is amazing, despite them hating on Nintendo for the last 3 years."

No it's not, but it does seem to work well. Combine the use of buttons and you allow it to be used in hardcore games.

"5. Kinect is an Eyetoy rip off, even tho the eyetoy seemed to work fine and was a lot of fun for a lot of people."

Mind I remind you the Eyetoy is tech from 2002? Isn't the point to move FORWARDS instead of hanging behind?

Do you really think that Microsoft would bring out something that doesnt work whatsoever and get all the negative press and most of all lose a ton of customers forever.

My common sense tells me that Kinect will work fine and people who are not into videogames will buy it in their droves and enjoy the games.
Theres Konami theres UBI Soft theres Sega, do you think they would be making games for something that doesnt work at all.
They have reputations to keep. If it worked as bad as you say they would stick to contoller games.
I have seen plenty of hands on Videos, Bowling, Javeling, Skiing etc they all seem to work fine as good as the Wii.
Last months Edge Mag also said the games worked great with hardly any noticable lag. Yes, from a well respected Mag.

LOL that's true, I never thought about the game without Kinect. Does look like a fun kart game, but the downsides to me were can't control acceleration/brake, hold out your arms, can't sit while playing, and to do stunts you got to flail your body around. Hmm now I'm going to look at some Kinect games and be like man this would be a lot more fun with a controller(Forza, Star Wars, Child of Eden)

Seriously?!?!?!?!?

You guys know that I am by no means a Kinect supporter, but some of ya'll are just really stupid. I see a lot of people talking about the Football game. I don't know any other motion systems that have even tried soccer, and there is only so much you can do with it from that perspective.

I played it in an arcade last year.

The difference is...

...that arcade game had an actual soccer ball!

:D

I'd rather play Kinect Sports and JoyRide than sports champions and that game where you ride downhill in a office chair lmao

I'm getting Move but I agree with you about the office chair game (Kung Fu Rider). It got a 5 out of 10 in Official PlayStation Magazine, and doesn't look fun at all.

Both Move and Kinect will have some bad games release for it just like the ps3 and 360 have some bad game but Im defo looking forward to seeing what both Kinect and Move can do.

This actually LOOKS quite fun, but will it be as responsive as it is in the trailers?

Im interested in Kinect as I do think it has alot more to offer as MS are saying but the one game I was not interested in was Joy ride but there has been a few videos showing what it has to offer and I think this game is starting to look like it could be a good game something on the line of Mario Kart but different enough to not fall into the trap sega all star racers and mod nation fell under.

Kinect sports also looks like fun and I think every one who enjoyed wii sports will feel the same way towards Kinect sports.

I know Kinect has been getting alot of stick but in the last two weeks there has started to be a reaction from MS on the issues ect that people have been pointing out and I am looking forward to seeing what can be achieved with the product.
