callummr Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 There are still ~3 years remaining until a new generation comes. :huh: Three years? That's a bit of a wait :/ I'd have thought it was more like one or two. Ah well. Time to nab me a PS3 then (MAG, ModNation etc. Awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I want to see an MLB The Show title for Natal. That would rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_Monkey Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I want to see an MLB The Show title for Natal. That would rock.Since MLB The Show is a Sony title that's licensed under the console-maker loophole exception in 2K's license...I think that will not happen. Maybe you'll see a version that supports Sony's magic wands though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Best summed up on Penny Arcade..."In general, the freaky-deaky augmented video mechanisms presented by Microsoft and Sony are inert for us - that is to say, we have no reaction to them whatsoever. Absent anything beyond minigames and puppet shows, I don't know how to contextualize this technology. I can't be certain that it has ramifications of any kind for the games I like to play, the ones my friends like to play, or for the games that built this industry. " This is not some miracle or revolution, it's a novelty that will fill a niche. Additionally MS own goals for the tech aren't nearly as lofty as some of the people in this thread, from Gizmodo interview the other day.... Talking to Marc Whitten, Microsoft's Xbox Live General Manager... "You can have an amazing Live experience without Natal and you can have an amazing Natal experience without Live. But the magic, the endgame, the place that we're going in this social world in the living room is [Natal and Live] tied together. We spend a ton of time on how we're going to reimagine the future with this idea of controlerless gaming and Live together." This statment made me fee a lot better that MS was leaning this more toward Live Arcade stuff. So it sounds like a lot of Live Aracde stuff and the occaissional niche title at best. Games have finally gotten good at conveying a narrative and creating cinematic moments, something that will be lost on you if you are jumping around or flailing about. In general I'm not pleased with this gimmickery across the board, but if you keep it contained to this kind of stuff then knock yourselves out. We can have both, but until someoe shows me a real "revolutionary" change it's just another add-on that I will probably skip. I've been saying that that's how MS is going to be marketing this for the last four days. It was quite apparent from their demonstration, not to mention they just aren't stupid enough to try and make it replace traditional gaming, nor would they want to from a business standpoint. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to see, but I think things are winding down in preparation for new hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Gil Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would be SHOCKED if that were the case... We'll have to see, but I think things are winding down in preparation for new hardware. Shocked? The 360 is having its 4th birthday this Christmas. The new gen will probably arrive when it reaches its 6th (Like the PS2 did). That's two and a half years away...

magik Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would be SHOCKED if that were the case... We'll have to see, but I think things are winding down in preparation for new hardware. Winding down? Introducing Project Natal and a handful of major AAA titles is winding down in preparation for new hardware? I don't know. I just don't see it that way. Shocked? The 360 is having its 4th birthday this Christmas. The new gen will probably arrive when it reaches its 6th (Like the PS2 did). That's two and a half years away... I personally don't think so. I think the new gen will be around the ~8th anniversary year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey_snake Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Nintendo and Sony are jusat as capable of buying this technology as Microsoft is. Jedi, you really live on another planet.

HawkMan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Nintendo and Sony are jusat as capable of buying this technology as Microsoft is. Jedi, you really live on another planet. Have you ever been tested for Histrionic personality disorder? Buy it from whom ? if you mean that other company referred earlier in this thread, it's not even remotely the same. it looks similar on the surface but it's completely different and would be at best considered the last generation of this, where this is a whole new generation.
