it's going to be eyetoy for the 360

Yeah it's been said but I'm not particularly optimistic about this. I mean, the Wii Mote was practically hailed as just this side of VR on the immersion scale when the "revolution" first debuted, and then we get our hands on it and every game basically just uses three different gestures (WAGGLE THE CONTROLLER TO BREAK FREE OOOH I AM INSIDE THE GAME). And it also comes down to the problems that the Wii has - mainly a lack of developer support because the whole motion control thing makes it more complicated than the other two consoles. If Natal is truly as immersive as they are making it out to be, it could definitely be cool, but there's a middle ground that I have no interest in. Replacing a button tap with a waggle or a flick of the wrist is pretty boring.

How will they handle movement though? Like they showed a racing game and some karate thing and a skateboarding game, but if there was a first person shooter, how would you design a movement system? Would the player just WALK IN PLACE to move forward? That would get tedious and probably pretty inaccurate. I dunno! These are what drag down the whole idea for me.

This is how I feel about it too, it would take some really dedicated developers to use it in a way that doesn't completely suck.  The only way I could see a movement based game working is if you either had gestures for moving (which would be tedious, but not as bad as walking in place), or just have ONLY rails shooters or something.  

I think the really important thing here is the idea of using finger guns in a video game is hilarious and that I would thoroughly enjoy at least giving it a try.

The comments are pretty funny. Most of them are judging this game based off of the cinematic alone.

no talk of diablo 3?

Blizzcon, faggo

edit but yeah they aren't going to show up and make huge announcements when they have their own convention two months away

Yeah isn't Blizzcon alone practically as popular as E3 now? I know tickets go for like $200 or something ridiculous considering it's just BLIZZARD GAMES and they only ever have like three to take about. Let me guess....... another WoW expansion, Starcraft 2 and... oooh, ooh, I know this one........

is it Starcraft: Ghost? is that it rowain?

can't.... wait to see them talk about Diablo III on my television....

Nintendo's conference is pretty damn boring! A new side scrolling Mario game, a new Wii Fit with a few more exercises, and now they are showing Wii Motion Plus with a new Wii Sports. OOH BASKETBALL AND PING PONG!!!! Yes this is what I want to use my videogame console to do, to play Ping Pong. Then they announce TENNIS GAMES and... shock, GOLF GAMES with the new technology. Because the Wii didn't have those before!

but they did announce a new golden sun which is pretty cool

but they did announce a new golden sun which is pretty cool

this is the only thing that has managed to catch my interest. I WANT IT.

the camera in mario looks like it's going to get annoying (smash bros style... maybe worse)

uuuuggggggghhhh they say LOOK LEGEND OF ZELDA: SPIRIT TRACKS and then show absolutely nothing

lmao this is so bad and it's so apparent nintendo just doesn't even give a shit sometimes

And why would they. Lack of content hasn't stopped them from making money in years.

ahahaha hahahahahah

Wii dying hospital patient in stores next
week

ahh fuck it.  i'm done.
