E3 Prediction: Natal To "Borrow" Subcontroller From Move

Thinking about how E3 will play out, I've got a hunch. When you start digging into Natal, or whatever it's soon to be called, the major problem with the vaunted controller-less controller is just that. No buttons.

My prediction is that at E3, Microsoft will introduce a similar buttoned one-handed controller, or a set of controllers to remedy the issue. I'm not sure if it will include any motion tracking the way Sony's Move wand does, but I can't see Natal going very far without buttons. However, instead of assuming Microsoft is filled with fools and it is written by the gods that Microsoft can never do anything right, I'm going with Microsoft biting the inappropriate appropriations bullet and stomaching whatever sniping the fanboys have for the theft.

if thats the case move and natal will be so similar specially with that fighting game footage where hip hop gamer wasn't using controllers, showing games can function with PS eye like they will with natal

I don't think so. They've been tooting their No controller horn for a long time now.

If they do demo something, it would be the object scanning thing that they have been showing in their trailer

This is exactly what I was thinking, the same exact damn thing.

It's interesting to note that maybe Move can work WITH Natal! Since Natal scans real life objects. I doubt it's that precise but it'd be funny as hell if it happens.

Except that it would really be borrowing from Nintendo, since the whole motion stick and Nunchuk was theirs far before it was Sony's

It's funny to see them fight it out over overpriced peripherals that don't quite work right, whilst Nintendo is still raking in the $$$$$. If they think they're going to garner anywhere near the same success as the Wii, they've got another think coming.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
