Natal is not for us
CrudeDarkness | 5:43 PM on 06.08.2009 7 comments


I don't know why, but many people seem to be fooled by this new gimmick. What kind of games do you think us hardcore gamers would be playing on this thing?

will I be able to play my halos or my Gears of wars? Will my Alan wake be playable on this thing?

Yes there are some games that will take advantage of this technology, but I wounder if these games are actually what we care about.

I hear that Burnout played really well on this thing. But I had a really bad experience with motorstorm's six axis controls as well as the bad experience I had with mario kart motion controls on the wii. I won't judge it just yet based on other games but I will wait and see how this thing turns out.

The reason why I feel a little uneasy about this thing is because of the way Microsoft is marketing it. Did you see the Natal promotion trailers? It is the exact same promotion technique Nintendo used. Pay a family to sit down pretending to have fun playing this amazing technology. Oh yes, and remember to smile while doing so.

All in all I wouldn't be buying this thing until I see a few games that are marketed towards us and not our grandmas.

Isn't Natal going to cost $200? (Rumor)

I won't pay that much for a Novint Falcon Game Controller, and that thing is great.

Leave Natal for the Kungfu Panda crowd.

I cant see it costing 200 bucks. That would be a instant death.

And being that the thing is far from release, I don't even think there would be a legitimate price rumor.

Motion Sensing was not for us anyway.

You honestly have a point as I think both Sonys and MS's motion controls will be more geared to attract Wii people than anyone else.

i don't care. its time for these companies to shit or get off the pot so the nexter generation of consoles can really perfect and separate the controller for the control.
