Just in case someone hasn't noticed, Annoying Old Party Man has stated that one of Microsoft's first party Natal games will be a Pet game. He correctly predicted Halo: Reach (by name) last year, and Natal itself. He also "confirms" Xbox 360 Slim with internal wireless and a 250gb HDD.

Nice info, but who's that guy again. Some juicy bits come into on Natal I see.

If this is the right price I will snap it up day one.

You guys are crazy and most likely hypocritical, I apologize then if anyone is actually offended. I find the funny in stupid things, I love stupid shit, I laugh at fucked up stuff.

Im laughing at the fact that this guy without downs syndrome individual LOOKS like he does, IM MAKING FUN OF HIM. I feel bad for the people with downs syndrome, I really do, and have helped a few in my town when in need. What's so hard to understand about what I am saying?

Listen, if something looks funny, you are allowed to laugh. You can laugh at something if it clearly just looks funny, with no evil intent.

People with down's syndrome really don't want your pathetic pity.

Different people have different ideas about what is or isn't funny. In fact, it's often the difference between sane and insane.

Anyway, let's not derail the thread too much....

How bought he looks like a tool, or he looks like hes drunk. If you really help people with downs syndrome why would you laugh about someone looking like they have it, if anything you would be more sensitive on the subject.

Yes, but if you think he looks funny "because he looks like he has downs" then you are implying that people with downs look funny, and if it wasn't for the fact that they had a disorder you'd be WATCHING THEM ALL DAY LAUGHING LMAO!!1

And don't start the whole "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" thing...

People would be less offended if the guy in the gif didn't actually look like he was developmentally challenged. I'm not sure how you are so certain he isn't.

The only challenge that guy has is seeing his penis below his belly without using a mirror.

Also, watch the vid. He's news.com.au's IT editor.

I would heckle a comedian if his joke was "So I saw this guy walking down the street looking like this. Dude looked like he had downs syndrome lololol". Not because he made a joke involving someone with the disorder (plenty of my favourite comedians have made jokes involving disabilities/race/sexuality or whatever), but because it has absolutely no substance and is pretty much just saying "these people look silly, laugh at it". But whatever, he apologised, let's get the topic back on track.

Yeah, that reminds me of that his and Henry Jenkins' view on modern gaming is similar to mine on game visuals and their modern focus:

". . . nothing has retarded the advance of video games and game design and gameplay so much as the drive to photorealism and representation."

I do miss the more abstract, user interaction, and imagination-driven eras of games. Hopefully, motion games, by their very nature of deeper human interaction, can naturally lend themselves to an overriding focus on that relationship which values interaction and experience potential rather than a creator's focus on content.

I wonder if there will be a "human tetris" game at launch... it looks like an obvious application, and it could be fun.

What's the Japanese game show that makes contestants get into weird positions to avoid being pushed in the water? That would work :lol

When you think about how much money they are spening on this, filling that place up, the hosts, MTV, circus et al. It's got to be around the budget of a small core title heh.

Add in Avatars and it could very well be one of the Rare games.

Now, being able to walk around and interact with your garden as your own avatar would be pretty awesome. Add in being able to take a party into your garden, or visit a friends garden, and I will be all over it.

Come on Rare!

If Rare were to release a Viva Pinata Natal game with farmville style facebook integration would be a killer app for the casual market.

The idea is scary enough.

If handled correctly if this is true it could be very dangerous imagine being able to farm whilst at work/uni etc on facebook and then coming home to play on the big screen with other players.

Microsoft's renewed focus on integrating cloud computing philosophy into everything (including games) means that you will see exactly that concept come to fruition sooner rather than later.

It's kind of funny that the first time I can recall hearing about interacting with your game character AWAY from the game and then returning to it was that silly chao garden stuff in Sonic Adventure's VMU component. That concept may well soon become an established norm.
