That Project Natal thing with the little boy looked like the boy had been pre recorded and it won't actually work as well as it did in the preview. You will probably try and talk to him and he will say something like "Sorry. I didn't quite catch that." Project Natal still looks great! I don't have a 360 so I won't be able to try it out

The Beatles Rock Band opening was great! I can't wait for that game.

Edit: Oops got the name wrong

I agree. I know IGN said with Natal "It works" but I honestly dont see how. Ok I can see it working for some games but how are you going to control a character or something in a shooting game? Unless its only a small Minigame I cant really see it working.

That's just one use if Natal though, it's amazing hardware, I just hope developers make the software it deserves.

The beatles rock band looked better than expected, really surprised.

As good as the hardware is, its not gonna happen I'm afraid. Why would a software company create a product that limits their market to only a minority of users? Its aimed at expanding the market but Nintendo already has control over the majority of the expanded market and those sorts of people aren't going to own 2 consoles. It will end up being like Wii Fit, a standalone product that only Microsoft supports.

Solid performance from Microsoft. I cannot wait to see this Project Natal in stores, knowing them it will take a few years though. Some appearances from Halo and glad to see Alan Wake. Big annoucement was MGS coming to Xbox, it was predictable but nobody was expecting it. Also loving the MW2 gameplay.

[MrPinkPanther]

2 Things intrested me in the conference, Fall of Reach and Metal Gear Solid. After Halo 3 I thought Halo was a bit rubbish to be honest but IGN said Fall of Reach plays a lot like Halo 1 so I'm looking forward to that and MGS is just awesome. The rest of the stuff I wasn't too keen on.

So what? Cry cry. :rolleyes:

Either way, that's one more PS3 exclusive on the 360 really, saw it coming with the release of MG on the ipod touch/iphone really.
