Interested to see how that would work with Natal, though. A sword game would be a two-handed affair, and we're still unclear on how you're supposed to move with Natal without using a controller.

He is not alone. The only time i thought about buying a Wii was when i first saw this game.
I'd love to see this on the 360.

You guys make it sound like the folks behind project Natal are going at this from one angle. we all know this concept would have never gotten a green ligth from MS. if all angles were not examined of how to make it work w/ all games or with the one's that can use a new concept to help improve it .let's be honest know one put's out that kind of money for halfass idea's or concepts that have no way of making a profit .

Natal is very obviously a bid to steal the Wii's 'expanded audience' away from Nintendo.
Hell, they even said that it's being aimed at people who find controllers 'intimidating' when they unveiled it at E3.
"We wanted to make a gaming experience that, no matter your age or gaming experience, you can jump in and have fun, while providing core gamers with a level of control never before possible."
This translates into: "We're gonna be making a bunch of games for little kids and old people."
Doubtlessly there'll be a 'core' game or two for it, but they're focus is doubtlessly very much on the Wii. Now Microsoft have beaten Sony (well, they had, prior to the price cut - now it's not so clear), it's Nintendo they want to dethrone.

Microsoft has a history of heavily overhyping very bad ideas that they never had any intention of releasing in the first place, the ill-fated Surface computer being the latest example
I'm not saying that as a Nintendo fanboy, or anything. It's just that Microsoft loves to hype unfeasible tech as the next big thing. That the project was greenlit is no indication of their desire for follow-through.

Natal is, by all accounts so far, very short sighted. Microsoft has done nothing to show how it will work with more traditional games, besides racing games and maybe 3D fighters.
Every time they talk more about it, they thave done nothing to answer those lingering questions. Considering that Valve and Epic have also at this point reacted skeptically to Natal (although epic seemed a bit more open to it), it sort of suggests that not even MS has told developers what they should really be doing with this time...which suggests that, given Microsoft's history, even they still don't know what the Hell to do with Natal.
I'm not sold on Natal and I'm a fan of motion controls, too. Everything about it just feels like it was invented by Microsoft's marketing department as a response to the Wiimote.

Man, I hope the dead bodies dont "blink and disappear" in the final version.

First: I get it, I get jokes.
Second: What is it about blinking and and disappearing bodies that appeal to "kids"?

Maybe because it might actually sell some copies on xbox or ps3.... With HD graphics of course!
I feel like adding "zingg!" to the end of that.

I never understand why people want games like No More Heroes or Red Steel in HD; the only upside is the colors look better, but that just not much.
It's like saying "OMG, the red is even redder!!" Its just funny.

I agree Archie. Like how people were upset MadWorld wasn't made in480p. What more could it due with a black and white game?

No. Keep this junk off ps3/360.

Nah, that's OK. The Wii can keep it.

If Sony can pull off the motion controller at a reasonable price, I can almost officially ditch the wii. I've never been a hardcore nintendo fanboy, so I can do without all the mario titles so long as I have a DS or equivalent future nintendo handheld.

it canNot be done on natal or ps3 motion if you try applying commonsense
ps3 motion NO IR MOUSE POINTER = NO FPS AIM -SHOOT = RED STEEL 2 PS3 =NO ALSO WM+ MIMICKS THE SWARD ITS SELF PERFECTLY WM+ ADD-ON
PS3 MOTION SIMPLY TRACKS A LIGHT ORB THERE'S SIMPLY NO COMPARISON=PS3 MOTION CRAP=RED STEEL PS3 NO-NO-NO-NO
NO SOUND FEEDBACK EATHER = SHHIT NO CONTROLLER SPEAKER ON PS3 MOTION
NO ANALOG STICK ON PS3 MOTION = NO WALK ABOUT THE LEVELS IN FPS GAMES= FAIL
NATAL
NO CONTROLS AT ALL NO ANALOG STICK AT ALL NO RUMBLE OR SOUND FEEDBACK AT ALL =IMPOSABLE FPS AND SWARD PLAY BOTH IMPOSABLE
PS3 MOTION IS NOT WII //// NATAL IS NOT WII = FAIL MOTION
YOU NEED A ANALOG STICK COMBINED WITH 3D MOTION
YOU NEED A MOUSE POINTER COMBINED WITH MOTION
YOU NEED FEEDBACK COMBINED WITH MOTION
YOU NEED BUTTONS COMBINED WITH MOTION
YOU NEED TRUE 1TO1 PHYSICS OF THE HUMAN HAND = WM+ = NO OTHER HAS IT
WAKEY WAKEY (HARDLY CORES) I.E PS3 X360 FANS
NATAL= CASUAL GIMMICK
PS3 MOTION = CASUAL GIMMICK
WIIMOTE AND WM+ = MOTION PERFECTION AS ITS DONE """"""""""""""THE CORRECT WAY"""""

PS3 Wand can actually do all that WM+ can do. It just doesn't rely on gyroscopes or IR.
Didn't you see their demo of them shooting arrows with it?
I mean, I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, but even I know when others are at the same (or above) level.

Red Steel 1 was amazing. Better then all but about 6 games out for the Wii right now. I guess some people just are not coordinated enough to play that game. Go back to playing
Red Steel 1 Classic Wii game. Go play Mw for Wii.

This game will be the perfect fit for the new PS3 motion controller.
