Project Natal makes a Smallville cameo, does not guarantee ability to fly*

We didn't get any more details about Microsoft's Project Natal add-on for Xbox 360 from the X10 event, but tonight Smallville viewers got to watch someone else whipping their arms and legs around trying to catch imaginary balls flying out of their TV screen.

you dont like American comic books? Smallville is a Great show the show got a 2hours Episode coming out With Green lantern and other Cameos of superheroes.

cant hate on that.

Baka-akaB5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

hum many comics fan hate smallville for good reasons . It's closer to something like dawson's creek with powers than really the original comics . Wich is ok , but dont ask and believe that you're bond to enjoy it .

it's only midly related despite the late effort in the few last seasons to include some sort of Justice league .

You'd be pissed if someone told you "how can you can hate dragon ball the movie if you like the manga ?"

Fox015186d ago

I really can't wait to see what Sony does with their Wiimote.

thesummerofgeorge5186d ago

I think it's safe to say most comic book fans/enthusiasts aren't big fans of Smallville.

Blaze9295186d ago

This is Microsoft Marketing 101 for you. They are really serious about launching Natal and it will definitely be big. Already marketing it on TV Shows, Good Morning America, Late Night TV all months before it even has an official name.

IdleLeeSiuLung5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

I can't wait for Natal so please have some good games. Heck, if it fails I guess I can have a remoteless remote on the 360!

Bottom line is, Natal can make you fly!

ABizzel15186d ago

Wow the camera is a lot bigger than I thought, and unfortunately it's the same old demo, we've seen before.

On another note Smallville sucks now, it was good when it started, but it dragged on FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to long.

Saaking5186d ago

I haven't watched Smallville since Season 5. It took a downward spiral during Season 6 and it never really recaptured my interest. IMO, it' s lasted way too long.

sonarus5186d ago

OMG wow that looks so fun. It looks retarded but the fact that it is fun jumping around like an idiot makes me forget this

Natal is the next evolution of gaming. Now we can all look like idiots when we play hooray

ChozenWoan5185d ago

... again.

At 12-16 seconds into the video you will notice that both the screen and his body is both in the screen. He swings a powerful downward swipe with his right arm and half of his body. On the screen it shows him standing still with both arms up. At no point in the game does his body movement and those of the game match up, not even if you factor in a 1-2 sec delay.

FAKE!!!

have a nice day.

I love comic books, I appreciate Smallville, from time to time. All I do is think of it like this; there are so many realities in the DC multi-verse Smallville sort of plays on each of them, it's not accurate but the fact that there so many different realities allows it to slide by in my book, from time to time. It's kind of like Earth-Prime, where Super-boy Prime is or was. It's getting more complex this season.

has become a giant M$ commercial this season. All of Chloe's computers have the windows logo and she also uses Surface in a couple of scenes.

ATi_Elite5186d ago

better than every Hollywood movie they use a MAC book.

Lou Ferrigno5186d ago

bone,your so right man.. everyone in hollywood usses nothing but macs and it gets irritating after a while lol.. dont get me wrong i personally love macs to a certain extent but damn!

a change is allways nice :)

Sano645186d ago

thats true but people never complain when you see apple logo's all over the place

N4BmpS5185d ago

True I could really careless if it's MS even though I don't like the XBOX360 like that, I get tired of seeing Apple everywhere since I don't like their products at all.

This show just proved how absolutely stupid you look when using Natal.

we won5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

Opposed to sitting with other people hunched over with a Pad in your hand? Poor PS3 fanboy, it doesn't look any sillier than playing Wii or using PS3 wand lol.

D4RkNIKON5186d ago

It's true, natal requires a lot of space to work and will not work well in small spaces as it needs to see your entire body. Also the lack of buttons and precision make it hard to imagine playing the games we are used to like first person shooters. The PS wand thing will work like the wii, you can sit on the couch if you want and use it like a pointer instead of standing up flailing about.

feelintheflow5186d ago

You need a big room for games like dodgeball or whatever they call it, some games like when they showed burnout you just need to be sitting down. So I am not sure what your talking about. I am sure it is going to be like the wii, party games, some serious games. You need a lot of room for wii sports, and you swing your arms around for that as well, but none of that nonsense for mario galaxy.

I just love how everyone thinks every game for it will have you flailing around like an idiot. I play the wii, and trust me I don't flail around like I am having an epileptic seizure. Please try and wait until we see some actual games before your fanboy goggle get put on.

lowcarb5186d ago

I actually saw the episode and thought it was a repeat show.

infamousinfolite5186d ago

Honestly I did not know that that was NATAL the fact that she said "xbox" instead of "360" threw me off.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies21h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken17h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 8h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 8h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt20h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken16h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 14h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 13h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 13h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 3h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
