Right, so last weeks Electronic Entertainment Expo, otherwise known as E3, gave us an insight into the future of gaming, namely motion control, as pioneered so successfully by the Nintendo Wii. However I say "fuck you!" to Microsoft's Project Natal and the more rubbish PS3 version, some of us like using boring old school controllers! The idea of waving my limbs around in the living room and talking at the TV and no doubt sub-consciously making accompanying sound effects somehow doesnt appeal, especially when other people are there too, silently judging...
"The tyres are toast, go to the pits!", "Alright, I'm going in!"
Admittedly the concept does seem pretty cool and I'm sure it will be put to better and less...sad? lame? gay? use than as seen in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oACt9R9z37U . Could they have found worse actors if they tried? And noone smiles that much. NO ONE. Frankly the whole family involvement thing they've got going on is going to work in only about 0.02% of families.
The PS3 one can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiX-26VL4bM . On second thoughts I've decided the Ps3 one is better, not least because its less annoyingly american, and also because it was a live presentation.
