I'm not sure if making Bully 2 with Natal would be a great idea.

Trust me, if you were at 7th Circle Middle School, you'd know the bullies do NOT need any more fuel for their fire.

what? i dont get it? Are you saying that bullys would practice with Natal and get better at bullying? Or playing with natal would make you more of a target for Natal? Either way it's retarded

I don't believe it looks cheap, did you expect this to be made with metal?

It looks like pure junk. Seriously, looks like something that would have came out back in the 80's for the Sega Master system....not knocking the SMS, actually the SMS was an amazing console, more heart than anything Microsoft has produced.

WTH, why am I seeing the ugly face of Natal over the PS section?

Dude, That's not cool..

You could've added the picture of Dr. Richard Marks with the PS motion controller in his hand.

Much better, lazy man.

Maybe because the Natal camera is sleeker than a magic wand prototype with colored lights on top (to put it generously)?

Natal and the PS3 motion controls could really forward gaming, if you just hear me out, I'll explain my views...

basically, I don't think a game should solely use Natal, that would be everyone's definition of 'gimicky'. but, if implemented well, it could really throw you further into the game, imagine your on your couch playing an FPS, and the camera is set up in front of you, you can dodge to the side, or tilt to the left/right, and you could peak around corners or dodge, all of this being optional, but it leaves more buttons open on the controller. it could be used only during some sequences, maybe even throwing a grenade could be a way to use natal. same goes for the motion controls I guess. but if you use only natal, like in that burnout demo, well that's kind of dumb.

I hope these companies realize what they can do with this technology, and make it not gimicky, and actually use it to enhance the experience!

Well... say you peak around, but then you can't see the screen! That's why Natal sucks for FPS and GameGun http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/29/gamegun-going-to-be-ready-for-retail-by-christmas-will-be-conso/ is much better.

I think the ps3 motion controller will be better because it relys on real motions and trackers, wrather natal xbox360 only relys on what is presumably hand s or such, so it will not be that presice, and the natal seems like its going to be geared toward things that are more duable in the real world, whle the ps3 motion controller will be use for more unrealistic things, example of which ?
well at e3 i believe
sony showed them using theirs to atack a skeleton soldier
while
microsoft show it using it to skateboard, or steer, and what not, stuff that is done either daily or something you can do out side, and it seems it will be limited to things that are more real world/

and one more reason is, ps3 and 2 already have what xbox calls natal, its the ps3 eye, it readys the body and uses the body as a controller or anything else programed like cards"Eye of judgment game" or the menu pad for the Pet game coming out for the ps3. which was show at this years e3, it was a monkey you interact with, the monkey is your pet, its virtual and the eye projects you and the monkey on the screeen as if you two are sharing the 3-demnsional world.
so in realty xbox is only putting out what ps3 "sony" had for years while sony is putting out motion controlled like the wii but only much better because of the percision, and functionality.

would you rather play with a fancy wiimote and use it as a dildo in a take 2 game or have your girlfriend on a natal pad and make some hot coffee?

natal is similar to psEYE, but natal is also 3D capturing with the pad or whatnot, going beyond what the eye camera can capture and do.
why dont you think more innovative and fun games have come out for the psEYE?
its not that spectacular in what it can do and it has not been used anywhere to the extent of what will be offered by natal it seems.

support and games really make the difference with hardware such as the psEYE and that has lacked very much. you talk of a pet game coming out soon... and eye of judgement. 2 games in 3 years ? nice and have fun with the pet game.

and if natal can help control realistic motions dont you think it wouldnt be that hard to swing a sword around 2?

the ps3 motion controller may be very interesting also, but it also just looks like a wiimote and i will probably rather stick to my ps3 controller. maybe even with natal we can be able to use a controller and also our feet in a game or whatever. giving us even more buttons available.

but with natal the possibilities will be very open, much more deeper than the ps3 camera as you thought. we have seen what wiimotes can do. what do you think beyond a wiimote do you think a ''''ps3 motion controller'''' will take us? it will just be nice to have the HD effect. that is the great improvement IMO with sony putting this tech on the ps3.

it is also the beginning of so called virtual or realistic game reality play. something that has been of wonder for many years and who would think it may come in the next generation of game consoles or soon after that..........at least in some respects.

Natal reeks of the bad days of Sega and the Sega CD. Sure, there were some gems, but overall the software was garbage. Granted, it doesn't add anything to the hardware, but the idea of no controller seems like a gimmick on the level of FMV games.

I'm excited about this new controller. I believe these new types of controllers can improve the level of interactivity of a gaming experience and kick up the immersion factor for some people.

From the looks of it the playstation motion controller seems to be built much better than Natal. Playstation motion controller better than rest, it has blu ray and sixaxis.
