Above: Microsoft’s PreNatal (it will never be born)
Here is the quote of Microsoft saying that Motion Control is the future:
EGM: Do you wish Microsoft had come up with the idea for the Nintendo Revolution controller?
BG: Uh…no. [Laughs] We’ll watch and see. Holding two different things like that? Anyway, Nintendo…you’ve got to give it to them. They march to the beat of a different drummer. Sometimes that makes them incredibly right and sometimes that makes them incredibly wrong. They’re certainly making a very different bet in terms of how much they’re putting into the graphics this time. I do think there is a question as to whether they can get outside the young age bracket at all. That’s been tough for them.
What the… Apparently, my ‘quote guy’ sabotaged my blog post and placed another quote there. OK, let us have the real quote, the one where Microsoft says that Motion Control is the future.
Gates gave his interview a day after Sony had publicly joined Nintendo in announcing that its console would have a motion-sensitive controller. Don’t expect the 360 to follow the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 into that field. Gates wasn’t too impressed with the whole concept.
“There’s room for innovation here, but moving that controller around — it’s something that’s not mainstream for most games,” he said. He recalled a Microsoft-made controller from several years ago that allowed 3-D movement. “It’s tough because sometimes you move the controller, and you don’t [mean] to fly into the ground. You just want to put the controller down,” he said. “People aren’t that good at totally standing still. Even pilots actually sit in a chair when they do their flying. So there’s a lot to be learned about these controllers.”
No! No! No! What are you doing, quotes guy? Why do you keep putting up the wrong quote? Now show us the quote about Microsoft saying Motion Control is the future:
Speaking to Kotaku, Microsoft Game Studios’ corporate vice president Phil Spencer commented, “Much like with multiplayer, I think it will become the norm. If you are a racing game without multiplayer the game just didn’t sell. We think that motion control, we think voice recognition, should become a part of gaming as well.”
I LOVE the Natal. It’s so bad.
