As for your "The Move will be less party based" comment, I'm pretty sure Move Party or whatever it's called blows that statement out of the water.

As with anything it'll get better as time passes.

The Wii's an exception. Even Miyamoto had doubts about it doing well.

Apparently, I misspoke. The $100 bundle also includes the Eye. Also, any normal PS3 controller can stand in for the sub-controller.


Also interesting, it apparently only takes 2MB of system RAM. That says nothing about CPU load, but still is interesting. My guess is that it won't be too bad, unless they have it going almost directly to the CPU.


Knowing the sub-controller won't be necessary is a bit of a relief, at least.

I'm kinda hoping they both crash and burn and companies just back off the motion control until they can do it right, at least. This wand shit is just ridiculous.

Can't do it right unless we play with it now can we.

In fact them doing this is what will lead to it being done right.

Yes: Because technology, oddly enough, progresses--even in the realm of gyroscopes, light reading, and motion detection--regardless of video games.

They're trying to build things with tech that isn't there yet, and it's, amazingly enough, not turning out all that well.

I'd be totally cool with motion control if it was only an optional supplemental thing. Kinda like controlling arrows in that PS3 game I forgot the name of. Instead, they thing that motion control is THE FUTURE and thus should be treated as the ideal control scheme. Fuck that noise.

IIRC Natal is trying to do pretty much that.

Like they're designing Natal to entirely be the casual party gamer's tool, so you can just pick it up and buy some DLC games online, maybe one or two big-name titles that are discs from the store. Otherwise it's pretty much what you saw at E3 - a family getting together and making funny pictures with the motion capture.

Heavenly Sword.

And aiming it into their crotches and asses NEVER gets old.

And I'd be ok with it if they'd wait until they were much closer to 1:1 than they are now, and could read forward, backward, left/right, rotations, etc. and translate them all EXACTLY to the screen, as opposed to this half assed shit that makes winning in most games merely a measure over who can spaz harder.

I'd buy a fighting game with a pair of gloves, anklets, and maybe a vest, that could perfectly read my movement. That'd be pretty sweet, and also a good work out.

I'm not going to buy a fighting game where I just hold a pair of dildos and spaz my arms as hard as possible to win, though. That's retardiculous.
