why does Natal get all the hype??????

Again it feels like Sony is missing the ball? What is going on? I hear nothing about the "SONY MOTION CONTROLLER", I mean cant they come up with a name already?

Why should it gain more hype? Whats ambitious about it? Does it really stand out? Do you understand what hype is?

u typing this thread, adds to the hype ur talking about...-_-.. and its not getting all the hype, Microsoft just thinks they came out with the greatest invention ever...i had to laugh while typing that

Natal looks nice but the recognition stuff is bs..u have to wear bright colors just to be seen by the camera..well atleast for nowktrotter11

it may be because MIcroosoft is supporting Natal a lot more then sony is, so more people know about it thus making more people excited about it.

thats funny cuz i hear alot about sonys motion control, and how it is the best one for gaming.Killzowner

err when have you heard that other then the threads that you yourself make?

Because Sony aren't really hyping it and most people see it as a Wiimote rip off. Meanwhile M$ is hyping Natal and its an almost ridiculous concept.

er Im not a lemming (I personally think all 3 motion things are lame) but natal isnt used for any of that stuff that I know of :P How can you move PC applications on a 360 (unless you are talking about the PC natal of course...) its used as an add on for games (not completely take over the games like the wii mote) I mean Rare is working on it, you know its gonna have something good in it with them.

Because Sony's ball-a-stick looks like Ninty's M+. Natal is Doing something different from Sony and Nintendo. That's why it stands out more.

[QUOTE="Killzowner"] from everyone who is excited about playing HARDCORE games with motion tech. it was fun for a while on the wii, but they just dont make the kind of games that sony devs make, and sony devs are already working with the motion control. Cant wait to see the game. Natal however is more focused on non-hardcore gaming, such as folder movements, pc applications, and casual dinosaur walking experiences.Killzowner

It feels like its getting the most hype because it is. MS knows that all you have to do is pull out the smoke and mirrors, get people excited about it, and then release it (no matter if its good or not). I've said before and I'll say it again, MS is running aournd saying this will change gaming, that being without a controller will make you feel like part of the game. But the reality is, unless you want some wii-sports type stuff, some on-rails type stuff, some stand and shoot type stuff, its almost pointless. Bu, bu, but you can use some of the features WITH a controller. Yes, yes you can. And it should be labeled "tacked on" since thats how 360 fanboys treated the six-axis. Also, it shows MS' as the puppet master claiming its for controller-less gaming but their core audience will not use it like that at all.PoppaGamer

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but in my opinion Natal is a step in the right direction for full functioning VR simulation. Imagine 10 years from now? Natal is a good steping stone for such technology, might not be perfect now, it's not, but a good solid step. I'm interested in trying it.

Because Microsoft, unlike Sony, knows how to market their ****.

Natal has already been on TV, and on popular websites, and it was all over E3, so yah.

One word. Marketing.

Natal looks nice but the recognition stuff is bs..u have to wear bright colors just to be seen by the camera..well atleast for nowktrotter11

Because M$ is a hype machine. They can even sell broken products and get away with it.Odrec

I'm glad Sony doesn't look to put their hardware in other things outside of gaming. You know like Cell processors in computers or BluRay players other than in PS3. I know when I talk about Sony they are only about gaming. WOOT!

Back on topic, the reason I see Natal getting more attention is because it is being made avilable to the public. At E3 the public was able to play with it, heck it was even on the Jimmy Fallon show.

1.because microsoft is actually smart and markets their stuff unlike other game companies.

2.cows won't shut up about it.

is it true that the sony motion stuff is going to be more accurate since its using the wii like remotes + the ps3 eye

i remember hearing about it during E3but sure if it was confirmed or verified

i have a wii and the only game i like using the wii motes is for wii sports baseball other than that am not a fan of motion controls and i dont care for ms or sony's attempt i prefer controlers lol

it has to be a game were ur doing natural motions (like the baseball game) for me to get into the motion stuff

but playing something like marvel ultimate alliance i prefer the old fashon way of pressing buttons and using analog stick

Microsoft has a name for its product.

It is getting more hype for two reasons. First, the public is more excited about the additional possibilities it brings not just for games, but for interacting with your media. Second, MS has made a NATAL a HUGE focus in their plans going forward for the 360 and even the PC. Sony simply doesn't seem to be pushing their own device nearly as hard.

because cows think the wand is lame.
