Surfer Girl returns, claims 360 slim for E3 and rebrand
- Thread starter Tiduz
- Start date
The thing about Natal, I read in an EDGE interview with the codemasters guys that they feel the drawback atm is that games already in development you cannot just add the functionality on. It must be added on from scratch. (Though arguable this is a good thing imo so early games would not have just "tacked on" natal support, but on the other side is how long dev time they have to make it in time for launch).
So unless Kojima hadn't started/has restarted from scratch when he got the Natal dev kits then the MGS (rising or whatever) game is not possible.... I call fake.

Isn't one of the Natal demos, burnout paradise with tacked Natal controls?
Relaxed Muscle said:
Maybe it was a vertical slice from scratch. Or maybe now with the chip removed (or is it? don't know what's going on with that) that functionality has gone. I dont know. But when I read it I was like damn
early natal games will be rushed if it's from scratch.webcivilian

I don't think that it will be this slim. The above looks crap btw. The new slim 360 still has to fit the hard drive and the wireless controller that Microsoft sold all these years. Unless they make a model with built-in hdds but thats taking away money from add on market.

That's some mod. I don't think that the 360 Slim will have an external DVD drive like this one.

It was meant as a proof of concept for driving mechanics. Same with the other games they did Natal controls for. They are not going to publish those games, but they were made to give press, developers and MS an idea of they could, and shouldn't do in regards to control.

You think that MS wouldn't pay a BUCKET LOAD of cash to get a core franchise like that on Natal?
By the way, was there ever a shortlist of who Surfer Girl could actually really be?
it's Richard Leadbetter - just know it!

Sure, they'll pay a bucket load just like Apple did.
No, but seriously, if there IS an MGS for the Natal, then you can either expect it to be a rushed spin off or MGS4 that uses the regular controller with horrible tacked on Natal functions (wave your hand to break Psycho Mantis's mind control!!!!).

Hey Surfer Girl, you fucking liar. Where's my Skies of Arcadia 2?
InvincibleAgent said:
Right around Aug/Sept I'd say. Reach timing for full effect if I had to guess.
Suzzopher said:
I don't think so either especially with the number of rumors out their to date. Although the way that is stated surely they aren't making an exclusive for MS? Because that would surely raise a few heh. Anyhow is this even the real SG? Thought it was still thought to be a fake? Or not?

No I said a high end model with Natal. There will be plenty of cheap end models for the slim I'm sure of that. Will they do a stock cleaning beforehand likely and I still bet on $149 for the holiday season. There was no real price drop last year and I'm almost 100% certian there will be this year.

It might not make any sense... unless the platform holder was basically paying for the game?
Which it has a history of doing... ?

Price drop on the old sku's maybe, but don't expect the base model of the 360 slim to be less than $199 any time soon, if it is I'll eat my yankees cap.
lowrider007 said:
Possible, but I could certainly see a slim model for $149. It is all about saving costs right and since they have been at $199 for two years they will want a new entry level, and not just temporary. If they can break even on the HW or very close from launch they have no reason not to. It all depends on the how they work the HDD imo and how they mark the rest of the stock. IF they mark down the stock before the slim for clearing that will be the first sign that it will come at the cheaper price.

Thread is more full of win than expected.
That slim mockup above doesn't jibe - for many reasons, but one being- that they're switching the primary console color to black. Reason behind this is because Natal will be black, to blend in with the black HDTV's it will be placed near.
