Tony Hawk doesn't think too much of the new Xbox 360 motion-sensing camera and will happily stick to his plastic skateboard thank you very much.
"We actually tried to get [Tony Hawk: Ride] running with a camera, but it wasn't accurate enough, plus you can't really do ollies, grabs and flips when you're just standing on nothing."
No one wants to use these wonky game controllers. No one.
Never say no one. There’s always going to be someone who’s contrarian who’s gotta say they’re actually a fan of one of these
i had the jaguar and cd32 and yeah, their stock controllers werent all that. They got the job done but there were better ones. The 6 button jag controller felt better to hold and incorporated more sculpting for the hands and fingers to reach the number pad easier. And the competition pro cd32 was like a genesis controller in shape and comfort. Way better than the stock one.
As for kinect, it worked, it was fun but i liked the non gaming uses for it. some people got pretty creative with reverse engineering that thing.
The Ouya controller was incredibly poor. Looked nice but quality of doad buttons triggers was that of a cheap knockoff you get for £1.99 on ebay
It's amazing that there are so many different kinds of video games, but there are certain ones that will leave you looking pretty silly.

In all seriousness, this is a well-worded and thoughtful look at the missteps in the gaming industry. Great job!
Story quality - Excellent
Like the Website - Yes
No order
1. PSN down for a month, the month Portal 2, SOCOM, Mortal Kombat, and other games came out at that.
2. Xbox One reveal
3. Zipper Interactive shut down
4. PS3 from launch until 2009
5. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro not owned by Sony or ND and Insomniac respectively.
6. The Wii
7. RRoD
8. Microtransactions
9. Activision killing Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero by releasing it too often
10. David Hayter not voice of Snake anymore
Bonus: infamous 2 reveal with that weird looking douchebag they called "Cole McGrath". I'm glad they changed the look of him back to normal though.
In my most humble of opinions, the Kinect 2.0 is the biggest letdown in the last few years I can think of. The 1:1 tracking and voice recognition were severely lacking at launch. I know this is a polarizing topic, but its just my thoughts.
I think it was quite stupid of Microsoft to premier Tony Hawk ride at their conference.I mean there is Tony Hawk showcasing his new peripheral which he said he designed then less than an hour later, Microsoft shows a skate boarding game where a boy holding a skateboard scans it using Natal and then flings the board away because it is not needed.If i wear Tony Hawk i would be Pissssed.
EDIT: AT Vasilik
Natal and Sony's motion controller are still undergoing development and are still over a year away.There is no reason to believe that the response time for both wont be better than something like the wii motion plus when they are released.
I guess since the games exclusive, and Hawks unbiased, its true, specially since it looked so at E3. Better improve because the PS3s motion sensor looked amazing and much better than the current Natal. Lots of possibilities there, not so much into "cleaning windows" again, or kung fu

Cheers i have just spat coffee all over my keyboard
Xtards are hypocrites, they bashed the Wii to oblivion because it was not accurate, it was a waggle fest, had few buttons, etc. And now that Xbox 360 is getting Natal, it's the greatest invention ever.
I certainly agree that the new webcam is advanced. However, Microsoft should have mixed that with its classic controller, like Sony is doing. But anyway, both Sony and Microsoft have enough time to 1up each other for next-gen, because this gen, these add-ons won't matter that much as they will the next.
as much as i loved natal he is right, it was 100% responsive, there was a delay, now if thats due to beta and bugs then fine, meaning if they fix that and any other issues then natal blows everything away, but if they dont fix it then it wont fair well.
