What a horrible name
Saw some of the games on display and well, I guess I still have my doubts. Looks fun and all, but I can expect the novelty to wear off pretty quickly with me. I'll have to wait on people who've actually played it and experienced it to know what it's like. Fanboys are crying out why MS have ditched the hardcore audience but I don't think that's the case. Seems to me that MS will always release the hardcore games with controller input (just see GOW3, MGS:Rising, Halo:Reach, COD and this new exclusive from Crytek as proof), but the Natal stuff is targeted more at the casual audience. I realise there will probably be games released for this that will appeal to the hardcore audience as well like the Star Wars tech demo, but I'm not willing to buy it for a supposed $149.
Too late in the day to post updates but at the time of writing, I've seen some pretty good footage of the games I've listed above. Something about the COD footage that left me unimpressed though. I'm sure it's probably a good game if I should get my hands on it but I wasn't really enjoying watching it.
Look at me all pessimistic
On the plus side, MGS:Rising looks cool, and I'm intrigued by this Crytek exclusive. I'm excited to find out more about other games during the conference though. Will have to keep an eye out on the many many videos and articles over the upcoming week.
