MvmntInGrn · (06-01-2009, 08:03 PM)

Not sure of it. :/

Kulock · (06-01-2009, 08:03 PM)

Lie video was full of lies.

flintstryker · (06-01-2009, 08:03 PM)

looks interesting though i find driving a car with thin air looks silly.

EviLore · (06-01-2009, 08:03 PM)

MAKE BELIEVE STEERING WHEEL.

Ironballs · (06-01-2009, 08:03 PM)

So that's where Kudo went.

Cday · (06-01-2009, 08:03 PM)

I'll keep an open mind. The project lead is talking now.

do you guys flip coins to see who goes first?

but my thought is, they better not put effort into this...

the only cool thing is the voice control and minority report through netflix

Motionplus needs to work hard to impress now!

Retarded.

But I like that it´ll have 4320p resolution, beams you right into games and dresses and cures aids.

Sigh.

Cygnus X-1 · (06-01-2009, 08:04 PM)

How accurate is it?

That's the question.

Sure that's smart that it will be included in every X360.

DarienA · (06-01-2009, 08:05 PM)

According to a Seattle Times blog entry

"Prices and timing weren't available, but it won't be available until 2010 at the earliest and will probably cost around $200. Microsoft has already given game developers tools to start building games that uses the device."

w3stfa11 · (06-01-2009, 08:05 PM)

Need to see in-game video.

itxaka · (06-01-2009, 08:05 PM)

HOLY FUCK.

It looks like it works O_O

Good point. The live demo is screaming Wii Fit.

fronn · (06-01-2009, 08:05 PM)

I was really hoping this wouldn't actually come about

they did not say it would be included. they said it would be compatible with every 360

Lion Heart · (06-01-2009, 08:06 PM)

BUAHAHAHAH Wii

MrNyarlathotep · (06-01-2009, 08:06 PM)

Be interested to see how their voice recognition will work across the UK, given the historic impossibility in understanding our broad range of regional dialects.

EDIT: also, jesus christ at his cheap shot at waggle, when that ricochet demo looked like she was having some kind fo fit.

djtiesto · (06-01-2009, 08:06 PM)

As someone who hasn't seen the actual video from the conference (blocked at work :(), what makes this more engaging than the EyeToy?

UltimaKilo · (06-01-2009, 08:06 PM)

FAIL. You know that it is not going to work as it's supposed to... And I don't want imaginary controls. I think the audience is like "uhhh".

Failure confirmed.

CiSTM · (06-01-2009, 08:07 PM)

Looks really great. I hope it gets some decent games in the future. Can't wait what next gen will bring.

Jaruru · (06-01-2009, 08:07 PM)

it took them so long to copy from Ninty? lol

-Kh- · (06-01-2009, 08:07 PM)

Eye Toy am cry.

nubbe · (06-01-2009, 08:08 PM)

Either they include that piece of shit with every console sold from now on or it is another useless peripheral.

Seriously....

And article said it's gonna be freaking $200 camera.

_dementia · (06-01-2009, 08:08 PM)

a bit late, no?

nincompoop · (06-01-2009, 08:08 PM)

HAHAHAHA @ that girl flailing around. NEED GIFS

depward · (06-01-2009, 08:08 PM)

It looks real stupid and it was the reason why I sold my Wii; does everything need to be a chore? I like to play games so I can sit on my couch and not move as much as possible.

They were having a terrific conference before this shit.

Grecco · (06-01-2009, 08:09 PM)

It looks really bad.

DarkJediKnight · (06-01-2009, 08:09 PM)

This tech seems awesome!!! Very responsive from the live show on G4.

abstract alien · (06-01-2009, 08:10 PM)

"Its not just a bunch of pre-set waggle commands!"

I loved that part, especially since they are doing this because of nintendo

HELL YES!

Jaruru · (06-01-2009, 08:10 PM)

who made jokes about the whole idea of Wii here???
go hit the red balls~~~ jumping monkey

itxaka · (06-01-2009, 08:10 PM)

looks awesome, fuck the haters you can't stop technology. This looks incredible.

EschatonDX · (06-01-2009, 08:10 PM)

Self-Waggle?

They were doing really well before this too :/

Gamer @ Heart · (06-01-2009, 08:11 PM)

LET THERE BE

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheKingsCrown · (06-01-2009, 08:11 PM)

Anyone who thinks this will be a game changer simply needs to look at business strategy straddling.

DevelopmentArrested · (06-01-2009, 08:11 PM)

The demos they showed were horrifically bad.
I'm not sure how changing blades with a fucking hand gesture is any easier than a controller.

Not impressed at all.

Around $200? I can't see too many people paying that much for this, regardless of how cool it is. That raises the price of a motion-controlled 360 to $400-$600.

Starchasing · (06-01-2009, 08:12 PM)

The first thing they show was how to navigate through the dashboard? Wow

drakesfortune · (06-01-2009, 08:13 PM)

Looks like it doesn't work well. They should have worked on it more and put it out with the 720.

Plus, they have Molyneux selling it...which scares me.

Costanza · (06-01-2009, 08:13 PM)

Next Lionhead game using it?
