Yeah i too am sad over the death of the Courier. =( That thing might have been the most bad ass system ever for game designer.
So the Natal is gonna be another wave-your-hands-around-whee-fun-for-at-least-five-minutes Eyetoy? Not like I didn't see this coming, but still, eeeehhhhhhhh.
Meh, I dont really believe Natal (or whatever will be called) is going to fail so miserably, mostly because is not as half-assed as the eyetoy, or (as it seems from the footage) the Move. But MS always finds a way to ruin everything, like taking a shit in the middle of a fresh just-off-the-over pizza.
Wow, new rumor is this thing will be named "Wave" :gravedigging: Umm removing the CPU from the device and offloading it on the 360 is half assing it. 360 bottle neck is it's cpu (vice versa, ps3 bottle neck is the gpu, and imo small LS mem on the spus). PS Eye sucks since it's simply just trying to extract movement info from a 2d image. Not great for gaming. Move is nothing more then an advanced Wii.
I said "not as half-assed" but still some, although in the now-know-as Wave case I say is more like cutting corners, showing MS has learn jack-shit from the warranty issues of the X360 and how being a cheap-ass can actually be really expensive. Anyways, Move is still way worst, I mean had Sony made it up for PS3s launch as an emergency countermeasure to the Wii hype.......it would look decent, but 4 fucking years and thats all they can come up with?
