Gametrailers Best of E3 2009 Awards: Most Innovative

Which title demonstrated the most innovation?

[Forrest Gump]

They should have given it to Scribblenauts instead,it was actually real.

[xabmol]

I think Scribblenauts should have won too.

Congrats to MS though. They blew everyone away with their 3D EYEToy. xD

[qface64]

scribblenauts DOMINATED the IGN best of E3 awards
i was surprised actually but i don't blame em the game looked pretty great

[Ravage27]

...and when M$ fails to deliver their promises, it will turn around to bite their asses

[SevWolf]

I also think scribblenauts should have won it, Natal was a very good idea and surprised a lot of ppl, but I didnt know about scribblenauts and when I saw it I was amazed.
@ Ban Me.....if you actually bothered to watch the presentation closely, the first words they say is, that this form is just a prototype and that they havent finished the design/look, I hate it when fanboys use the word didlo, thinking its the last form...

The difference between Eye Toy and Natal is similar to between an old boob tube from the 50s and a new flat panel 1080p HDTV. Same general idea, but a world of difference.

[Gue1]

That's the point Zorro!

When the old tube tv was first made it was innovative but when the 1080p plasma came it was hardly innovation.

"The term innovation means a new way of doing something."- http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Examples of innovation:

-Wii-mote from traditional controller
-Analog Sticks from D-pad

Example of what you believe to be innovation:

-TV with color from black & white
-Natal from PS EYE <--- Like you just said, same general idea!
-HD from SD

[odisho68]

project natal was definitely the most innovative but that doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't rip off a previous idea (eyetoy)...in my opinion, both Sony and MS came up with great new devices that will appeal to the casual gamer and maybe the hardcore gamer as well (depending on what games incorporate the technology)...honestly both devices ripped off other devices out on the market...sony and the wiimote, MS and the eyetoy...

But both have broadened the original idea of the wiimote and the eyetoy and made it their own...I personally can't wait to get my hands on either device, but Sony's true 1:1 motion tech is kinda more appealing to me as of now, at least until we see more from natal

[masterg]

I could not disagree more. I think Natal is the one that is going to sell the most. But not one thing in Natal hasn't been done before on PS2 and PS3. MS just polished it of and slapped a new sticker on it.

[XDF]

It didn't even get nominated....I don't think anyone care for that thing but loyal diehard fanboys.

[FantasyStar]

Well, I kind of cared for the Dil** because I traded my Wii for the 360 with the hopes that Sony can give me what I want. HD Motion Controls that matches the Wii. I'm not surprised that the uhh.. "blueball" didn't get nominated because the Award specifies "Most Innovative". Still, I look forward to the Dild*.

I'd rather have the break-away PS3 controller though. More natural.

[xabmol]

Watch the beginning of the video again. (>.0)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Natal is a rip-off of the Playstation Eye...

...and yet, I don't hear you complaining about that.

Why not?

[ChickeyCantor]

Lenny, Sony got their idea from somewhere else too.
If anything the whole bizz looking what is needed to compete.

They have a cam? Then fix a cam yourself or surpass that.

[Stationfan]

Ironic how they are so exited to turn on there 360 with a flip of a wrist.

But at the same time its no big deal to change disk 2. Maybe theyll add a handball minigame while its asking you to insert disk too, so you can waltz all over there in style.

[KingKionic]

Great idea ! Go put it on natal page.

[qface64]

my older brother would laugh and mock me if they actually had something like that
i won't be picking up natal ever but if i did and i had that lol it would be funny but emberassing

[FantasyStar]

It's sad how only the most "fanboy-flamebait" GT awards are submitted and approved at N4G. What a sad state of affairs.

EDIT: Scratch that, CONSOLE-Fanboy Flamebait.

[gta2800]

How is Natal innovative when Sony did this years ago? Natal is just an upgraded/glorified eye toy rip off. If this is considered innovative by some then all the innovation credit should go to 3DV Systems, not Microsoft. All they did was buy out the company along with their cameras. Cause we all already know Microsoft hasn't done anything innovative since getting into the video game business. Everything they have that's exclusive to them is always bought out, exclusives games, cameras, etc. Not a lot of things are developed by them their selves. Where as, everything Sony has done was all developed by Sony, not bought from someone else.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

What people fail to see is...the Eye already has facial recognition and voice recognition.

G4 also tested it against Natal and proved it was more precise.

That's JUST the Eye too...and not the new controllers Sony is introducing.

Natal < Eye

Natal is DEFINITELY < Eye + Motion Sensing Controller

Does anyone here know math?

[DaffyD]

"How is Natal innovative when Sony did this years ago"

Do you mean that when Sony copied Dreamcast camera years ago?

"Cause we all already know Microsoft hasn't done anything innovative since getting into the video game business"

Yes. Sony did invent easy network gaming with consoles and all the network supplementary services and Microsoft cruelly copied that...No wait!

[callahan09]

@ Daffy, did the DreamEye even have a single motion-control or facial recogntion feature? Because the EyeToy did, and I don't recall the DreamEye having any features other than being a webcam and still photo snapper.

[ChickeyCantor]

" .the Eye "

Bah, its a camera for crying out loud, its the SOFTWARE that matters...
Yeah sure the camera specs should be setup in some way but its still up to software do to all this.

There are even some flash games taking a normal webcams to manipulate stuff on screen.

[user3915800]

Either way you look at it Natal its revolution in the gaming industry, while the pink dildo will only satisfied PS3 owners with a sense off vibration and maybe they can insert that pink dildo into ah......... to have fun. Anyways they have hardly anything on the PS3 thats worth purchasing anyways, I meant 0 games worth playing for 09 and a UMD less PSP that the market dont want. What else its there, beside other websites stating that MS won E3. Be true to yourself and Jump IN its never to late to understand, enjoy, and visualize the gaming concept that can only be realized through MS vision off Natalistic gaming. Xbox 360 its the gaming experience that the PS3 fanboys would like to have, but can not achieve due to been Hypocrites.

This is what Alan Wake already looks like running on Xbox 360, imagine in almost a year when it releases.

Gonna be a biggie. :D

[Arnon]

Damn. That's a lot of awards for MS.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I never would have guessed...

I'm glad a video of what "might be" beat out an actual demonstration of something more precise and useful than the thing that "might be".

It IS Microsoft though! How could we ever doubt them for a second?

: )

[xabmol]

Watch the beginning of the vid. It clearly states that the 5 nominees had to be promising AND playable. Ergo, Natal wins by default.

[jammiedodger08]

lol

[xabmol]

Here it is!

[na2ru1]

"I sure like wacking ba..."
