"At a slow pace"?
Huh? The post above you is 100% correct. Their is *VERY* little that keeps this from becoming an rental service.
Or, perhaps even a "ALL TITLES" subscription, call it "Xbox Pass". Where I pay $20(?) per month and can download and play *anything* I wish.
I imagine both services are being worked-on.
@1.1 "But this is a nice feature 4 folks who wanna get a game but dont wanna go out (or cant)."
Actually, if you try and think a little "bigger picture" this is excellent for people who want high-value gaming.
By being able to deliver full titles directly to the Xbox 360, The Publisher, The Developer and MS cut the retailer right out of the transaction.
So, since the only cost is bandwidth, it will cost very little to deliver a ...
You have *NEVER* seen Natal before. It is a 3D camera (and other tech) not available anywhere for gaming.
Xbox LIVE Vision and eyetoy != Natal.
Every single journalist -- Eurogamer, Joystiq, Wired, Time, BBC, Kotaku -- have *played* with Natal, including milo.
They've all said it works as shown.
Now, some idiot writes some bullshit and puts it on splorg.com and you're saying "I'm glad people are taking a closer look at Project Natal instead of praising it instantly"?
No one "praised it instantly" -- journalists spent all week getting demonstrations, and each one is **IN...
@2.2
Do you need everything explained to you *all the time*?
Here's a newsflash: Project Natal makes that $20k touchscreen go away.
Windows 7 || Xbox 360 + Surface Runtime + Natal == What you see there.
Someone answer me this:
When did this (reported to be "ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE"):

@1.1
Analysts are paid by investment firms for unbiased analysis. You people simply *DISMISS* their verdict and substitute it for your own opinion? How do you people survive in the modern world, have you absolutely no common sense? How do you survive the modern media?
The Xbox 360 has had an increase in year-over-year sales thusfar in 2009. They are **EXTENDING** the lead over PS3. It is not "shrinking" -- it is growing! The numbers are their for ...
Huh? What are you talking about?
He's talking about the content, not the presentation... or, is this the new SDF spin?
CNET & GRTV say that MS had the best show. So, the SDF says "oh, all they are talking about is the presentation!harhar!"
By all accounts thusfar -- from the biggest sources no less -- are in *awe* of Natal (after their hands-on demos) and say that MS's AAA games line up was terrific.
I'll take the col...
At the douche above: CNet networks is owned by CBS!
Secondly, Kojima said MGS:R is the next title in MGS; he called it MGS5 FFS. Are you really splitting hairs about this? "Spin off"? Yeah, SPIN SPIN SPIN is right.
Lastly, Splinter Cell:Conviction, Forza Motorsport 3, Halo: ODST, Alan Wake -- those are killer, exclusive genre-leading titles.
The average metacritic score of Splinter cell series is ~9.4 and Halo is ~9.5.
...
Yes, CNET will be CNet.
One of the few outsets of Technology news from a firm grounded in traditional journalism.
It is owned by CBS FFS. Not some bullshait personal-opinion-blog that the SDF submits/approves simply because they print some nonsense that you **WISH** were true (evidence: see 99% of the stories on this site).
CNet is one of the *MOST* trusted names in Games / Tech journalism. You people need to understand that *YOUR* worldview (the...
So -- correct me if I'm wrong -- should we add Cnet to the vast members list of the Anti Sony Conspiracy?
Really guys, face it, by *all* relative accounts thusfar, MS stole the show. Again.
They are outselling PS3 by a wide margin worldwide (Xbox 360 has year over year increases, while PS3 has year over year decline == widening margin). Xbox 360 is selling piles and piles of games. Former Sony partners are coming to work with Xbox 360, why? Because THEY LIVE ...
@1.0 & 1.1
You two care "how it was said?" All he said was "Ask SE if it is exclusive". Was very grascious if you ask me, allowing SE to save face with sony. Sounds to me like you two are just eager (in every thread) to down-play MS's massive victory at E3.
So, now that FFXIV is coming to Xbox 360 do you guys hate it? Kinda like you hate MGS5: Rising now?
Eh? What's the matter, dont like it that the industry has moved b...
More SDF nonsense. Listen, their is *no doubt* that Forza Motorsport 3 is a serious contender.
No doubt at all. I know that the SDF is going to be barking-over-the-moon about how wonderful GT5 is... but, like Turn 10 says; let's wait and see OURSELVES when it is out.
Let's see what happens.
My bet, and I'll make it now: FM3 Racing Game of the Year, and gets better Metacritic scores, and outsells easily.
Listen SDF: WRITE WHAT I W...
@2.5 "no love from Kojima"?
Is that why he stood on the stage and announced MGS: Rising for Xbox 360 the other day? The game he's been teasing and this board was all-in-a-lather about a few days ago?
The Game that butt-hurt SDF is now trying to say wont be any good? MGS and Kojima were the *GREATEST* until he started making Xbox 360 games.
Take Final Fantasy for instance -- the FFS that the butt-hurt SDF thought was so terrific until i...
The Splinter Cell: Conviction trailer looked un-real terrific. Fantastic in fact. All the press is raving about it, this is clear.
And, he's right about immersion. Their "project the story into the action" method is *FANTASTIC*. Excellent innovation in story-telling and immersion, better than the mandatory cut-scene install that MGS players had to sit-through.
Halo 3 had some of this, they used the literary device of having Cortana & the Flood &...
Oh, jesus.
Kojima's own company is making MGSR -- calling it MGS5. He's PRODUCING it.
So, what do the SDF say "OMG! The Xbox 360 MGS is gonna suck!"
-
However, Sakaguchi-san leaves SE totally, and they dont care "FFXIII is awesome!", then when Xbox 360 support is announced; "Who cares! Its all about FFXIII Versus!".
Now, SE renames FFXIII Versus to become FFIV Online - and they seem to fo...
I think I'll skip Mario Bros. Yes, I love the characters and their game-worlds, but 2D side-scrolling mario is just *already* done.
I'm vastly more excited for The Behemoths' "Game #3" coming in 2010:

@3.2
PS3Mote (gyro, accelerometers, light source) + eyetoy (cam tracking).
WiiMote+ (gyro, accelerometers, Camera) + Lightbar (light source).
no difference.
However, Natal is *full body motion*. And it was one to one. Watch the live Ricchochet demo. Watch the girl move, and her body super-imposed. Their is no delay (give it a rest fanboys). And it is 1:1.
There was no delay at all -- did you not see the super-imposed avatars? they were repsonding 1:1.
It would be **REALLY** great if Eurogamer was more clear about what Hawk is saying here.
"We actually tried to get [Tony Hawk: Ride] **RUNNING WITH A CAMERA** but it wasn't accurate enough," Hawk told MTV Multiplayer. "Plus you can't really do ollies, grabs and flips when you're just standing on nothing."
But at the launch of Natal...
I'm calling it right now: Sugar Ray's Natal Boxing and Paul Rodriguez's Natal Skateboarding.
One or both at Natal Launch. Write it down.
