At the 1:59 mark it shows a few seconds of what appears to be the camera detecting his hand in 3D. If that was really done using the PSEye, then that's really impressive, and could be used for some neat applications.
I just try to correct things that are so blatantly wrong.
Today is the 11th. 11 + 4 = 14?
That's how this is starting to sound.
There was an episode of "Curious George" that dealt with this, you should watch it. Very informative.
Edit: Oh my god. We're going to turn this into an argument about how to COUNT?!? Take two steps forward. Are you only one step away from where you were? If Sunday is four days from now, then Saturday is three days from now. That would make tomorrow TWO days from now, and today would be one day from now.
"Edit 2": I'm not a...
Thate makes about as much sense as the "i + !" being a reference to the memory card slots on the 360. That turned out to be "Metal Gear Solid Touch" on the iPhone.
When faced with someone who does some research, your response is simply a personal attack? Would it have been "pwnage" had the tables been turned?
All this pre-E3 speculation, rumors, and flaming has me frustrated and remembering how much I liked the week I stayed off the forums to avoid spoilers for the game i was playing.
@ Nac (above 6.1.3): That may be right. After last year, when their biggest thing was the Vitality Sensor, nobody is expecting anything from Nintendo. It could be like the Vice-Presidential debate in 2008, where that was mostly declared a tie just because Sarah Palin didn't make herself look l...
It makes you happier to know that other people are being denied something that you enjoy?
These executives have a way of implying things without outright lying. They can make something sound exclusive by emphasizing the right words. If they say "it's coming...(pause)... to XBox 360..." make sure the word "exclusive" is in there. They did that with Metal Gear Solid: Rising last year, then two days later it was revealed to be multi-platform.
The "Metal Gear" keyword COULD just be to direct people who would be interested in Kojima's stuff, but I'm sure it will be about MGS: Rising. A trailer and gameplay info, with perhaps a release window?
Of the people polled, only about 15% even knew of Natal's and Move's existence. So of the people who were polled about 15% keep up with video game news, and of those die-hards, about half of them plan to buy the motion controllers. Doesn't really tell us as much as it appears to.
I do expect Microsoft to hold off some of the Natal news for their regular press event the next day, though. Expect the Natal conference to match this news, but some news of "hardcore" games implementing Natal to come the next day.
I don't see them announcing a new system this year, because they will want all the attention on Natal, and why show that off only to say "We've got a better version coming, too"?
I really have to say, most people would say that Natal was the big surprise at E3 09.
Sony fanboys will think Sony won.
Microsoft fanboys will think Microsoft won.
Anyone who thinks Sony won will be labeled a "Sony fanboy."
Anyone who thinks Microsoft won will be labeled a "Microsoft fanboy."
Because the ideas you listed could actually be kinda fun for a lot of people. Maybe, not you or even me, but for a lot of people. There's a lot of people who haven't played games since Pac-Man, and would love to see some of those simple experiences return.
So, are you trying to say that Move Party is shovelware, but Ricochet isn't? Because, really, they're both so similar in what they are trying to do, I don't think it's fair to label one and not the other. They both may be tons of fun.
The highest selling game of all time (63 million) is a few mini-games bundled together. Yeah, it sold that many because it was bundled with the Wii hardware, but a lot of those people bought a Wii because Wii Sports looked like fun to them.
And, yes, I guarantee that Microsoft will bundle these, and probably include them with Natal hardware, following Nintendo's example.
I was going to say "we'll see on Sunday," but then I though that they might also hold off the hardcore stuff until their other press event on Monday.
Just saying that if on Sunday Microsoft only shows casual shovelware, remember their main press conference is on Monday, and they may hold some Natal surprises for then, too.
What if Microsoft announces a partnership with Sixense to bring a Move-like controller to the 360 alongside Natal?
