Why Natal? It doesn't even exist yet, even in prototype. C'mon, even the trailer said that "Project Vision, actual features and functionality may vary."

Huh? And people went apeshit over this!?!! I can just imagine some idiot karate kicking his tv screen in. Nice one MS!

Yea motion control is going to be the new live action video. Cool trend then rapid fall.

Sony's motion control demo with 2 guys with glowing dildos made me really laugh.

I can think of one multi-platform game that had a multi-conference showing, and that was Final Fantasy XIII at both Microsoft's and Sony's shows. Other than that, nada...

Yeah the Wii does have Opera for $5, but both it and the PS3's web browser suck really bad. Flash works half the time on PS3 and doesn't work at all on the Wii.

But it did motivate me to install my PC to my tv.

Wii sells...but whose buying?

People who like trends, that's who. Motion control does nothing but collect dust to my friends who aren't hardcore gamers.

Yea but in this current console generation 360 is the most fun and actually makes games. Sony doesent have an ass to poop out games and the Wii only makes Mini games. Microsoft is probably the most corporate ass holes of all time, but at least they are doing someting.



i dont get y people say that xbox exclusives r so much better then ps3(i have both)...xbox has halo(people like it but it really isnt that great), gears of war(good game), l4d(good)and some more that i cant think of...ps3 has killzone(good), mgs4(good), god of war(will be good), lbp(good)...they both have good sets of exclusive

You forget the wii has a browser aswell, i can be cynical too :P

@Samuel:While the Wii does have a browser,well...It sucks.Also,speaking of Wii,can YOU see the bottom of a MII's shoe?No,i thought not.

BAM . . . there it is! It will never get old. Just like Spikey headed Wii music guy who waits for cheers and never gets them, giant monster crab/lobster thing . . . that was real 0.o, and RIGE RACERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

gaming dying, really quick. It's turning into all about money and soon they will be no good games left, the only games allowed to be made are the ones that will sell to the public, and hold their attention for about 5 minutes before they go buy another one. I can't really accept that right now but it's inevitable... Thanks Nintendo, you ruined gaming. Hope the money was worth it.

"motion control is not the future of gaming
its the future of making money with a console"

@PinkLenny they have embraced it as the future of gaming, but that doesn't mean it is - they'll soon unembrace it. :)

Ok I understand that that your annoyed how microsoft, sony and nintendo neglected their Third party freinds this year. However with thing's like Nintendo's conference if they had shown their 3rf party games it would end up being ten minuites of people exclaiming "PARTY" and "IMAGINE" and possibly a few pictures of Ferne Cotton

That pic of Brett is hilarious. He's totally got the hundred yard stare that soldiers get in the battlefield.
Urbansamuri47  - 5 months 18 days ago 
i dont care about all this motion stuff. what ever happened to the aspect of acctual games??? i wanna see more games and less bs. nintendo inperticular. i was one of its biggest fans and now i feel like i was traded out along with the rest of the die hards for just more money and press. come on, isnt E3 supposed to be about what new titles are gonna be coming out?

First off, I want to say this is an awesome article. One of the best I've read here. Way to go guys.


@Sabtos, the more I read of your posts, the more I realize that at least you see whats going on, also "lol" to your excellent satire.

@McSpermie , same as above. You guys get it. I'm glad more people are coming to see what the hell is going on and hopefully more people will start to care.

@thor0997 - way to show off your extreme knowledge of things.(That's called sarcasm - look it up.) MGS4SolidSnake had good points so I didn't even have to address your ingenious post.

All in all, a good day.

I thought there was a 10 year deal to keep E3 in LA at the Staples Center? I don't think it's going to move to SF anytime soon. Especially when the Staples Center and Downtown LA really want that business.
Plus, I think E3 is supposed to garner mainstream press, more so than games journalism, and they're all based out of LA.
