Sorry SA, I love you guys, but this was a dumb**** video.

Hahaha, let's mock an innovative new way to play games because you can do the same things with a controller! While we're at it, let's mock things like microwaves. Haha, who would want to use one of those things? Old school cooking over a wood fire is all we need. Right?

They're not trying to make us look like idiots or reinvent something that was already working. They're doing something new with this. An important aspect of most successful games is how well the game immerses you in the game world. The game is more enjoyable when you sort of forget you're sitting there playing a game. It's "Do I want to do this?" Instead of "Do I want my character to end up like X?"

This Natal thing is a step in that direction. Maybe it'll work, maybe it'll be fun, maybe not. But you shouldn't be ******* mocking their efforts! And then you turn around in some of your VGR's and OOTB's and comment on whether the game feels like a Halo or some other successful game's clone or not. Make up your mind and stop being hypocrites.

No, I'm actually a diehard PC gamer, annoyinglad. I hate consoles in general, but they're doing something here that's, at least to some degree, innovative. You'd prefer they make yet another sequel of something instead?

And I'm amused that by bringing a counterargument to the table here, I've somehow immediately become a troll. Hey Abrams, how 'bout you take that can, tape a lit firecracker to the side, and shove it right up your ass? Kthx.

As for taking the video too seriously, am I? This goes in the same bucket as political cartoons. It's meant to be funny, yes, but it's also expressing an opinion.

Pat: "you say that they not trying make look like idiots just make us jump around and act crazy" Well when you play any Wii game I imagine you do a good deal of arm-flailing. This seems to be the next evolution of that.

But really, unless you're playing with a demo of this in a store, you're going to be in the comfort and relative privacy of your home. And if this thing's any good it should make anyone that's there watching you also want to play, or at least see and understand the direct context of your flailing. And it's not like we don't emberass ourselves in front of our loved ones on a regular basis anyway.

Oh yeah, this was all made by me by the way.  I had a basic script written down and told everyone to wing it then edited it all together.  Everyone did a great job!

you do realise that people play games to UNWIND. and nobody unwinds by going home from a hard day at work to go around waving their arms around.
sure it may be an interesting peice of technoligy but what the **** are you supposed to use it for?
motion control is a dead end. once you start making games that allmost use this every single game is something nintendo tried with, and lost half of their fanbase becouse they didnt want to look like retards

hey it maybe is inovative but don't tell me they aren'T trying to get wii casual audiances and when they realise that they console was losing to a casual audience they jump into making and kinda improved the motion control concept.

but if they are so original and creative why they didn't try to improve they console in an other way for they Harcorde audience ?

Because easy simple motion controle games = $$$$$$$$$x3

so what we learn today they ripping off motion control concept improve it into a new sorta way and get a **** load of cash from nintendo ideals *let not forget ps3*

hey ******,
strongbad isn't cool, funny, smart, or anything that is a synonymy of funny.  your a fairy and their point is great.  If you want to move around go and move around outside. 

I don't want to swing a damn sword 400000 times to play darksiders just because its innovative

I don't see any capacity for repetition here. With the Wii, you flail the remote in a specific way, which the console interprets as initiating a specific action. If Natal is done right, any motion you make with your body should correspond to something happening in the game.

So yeah, I would LOVE to play a game like Modern Warfare 2 with this technology. Sure some functions would still have to be done with buttons on a controller (Can't exactly run around in your living room) But if that controller looked like a real gun

and you could actually look down the gun's sights that you're holding instead of using crosshairs on the screen? Having the character turn in the direction you're pointing? Duck behind cover and lean exactly as much as you're leaning in RL to aim just around a corner? Tell me that wouldn't be awesome. I see a lot of potential for that with this.

And psico skull, yes, you're totally right. You totally look so much cooler sitting there staring at a screen holding a controller and getting fatter than you would if you were moving around instead. >_>

And I'm sorry but there's just too many "This is going to make us soooo much money!" jabs in this video for me to just dismiss it as purely a joke. And this isn't the first time you guys have knocked it either. Poking fun at things is fine but this was both undeserved and pushing it too far, I think. Hence my comments.
