Playstation Arc vs Project Natal


Poseidon©

Recommended Posts

Personally, I think Arc is going to win (on the hardcore side at least). Natal to me, is just trying to steal some of Wii's market, because they recently confirmed that the first games are going to be athletic games. Also, people who tried it out recently (not E3), have said they got VERY TIRED after like 4 minutes nonstop. So, imagine yourself playing Halo/CoD and then stop after 2 minutes because it's action packed (running, throwing grenades, etc.)

 

Arc on the other hand is just a better concept. It can be used for just about anything. CoD, RESIDENT EVIL (launch game), etc.

 

Discuss INTELLIGENTLY.

Rofl. No. Arc is trying to steal the Wii's market (and will fail because of the amount of brilliant unique titles the Wii has), by creating a motion controller. Natal, on the other hand, lets YOU be in the game, picking up every movement.

 

Natal will win, especially after the E3 2009 preview and A Boy Called Milo.

Seriously? Milo? No disrespect or anything, but I could be talking to my IRL friends rather than a computer controlled Milo.

Yeah, same here, but it could be fun for a while. Besides, if it works like shown then that is amazing technology.

 

I agree with Cyber Altair both kind of suck

 

Both are useless

 

You haven't played either of them...

Both will fail but I think Patcher is right about the fact that Natal will probably outsell Arc 5 to 1. They still will be total funk ups to us the hardcore market and the casual market who have like 2 Wii's per household.

He will come in here and post a list of great Wii titles.

 

I will too.

 

Metroid: Other M

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Legend of Zelda Wii

The Grinder

Gladiator AD

Trauma Team

Sin and Punishment 2

Epic Mickey

Pikmin 3

Monster Hunter Tri

Red Steel 2

 

But seriously, I probably won't get any of those.

 

I'll be getting GoW3, The Last Guardian, GT 5, etc.

the only one here that is more innovating is Project Natal, sure the Playstation Arc is interesting but in the end its just another control coping those of the Wiimote by Nintedo but in black color and with a round sphere. Project Natal is more on the interaction side than arc and even if the first games are athletics for project natal, i said is a good choose for testing instead of releasing it for the big games.

 

Is it me or Arc looks like a vibrator?

Sorry Flame Dragon but the list you keep posting just doesn't cut it for use who haven't spent our childhood with Link and Mario. Mario is the reason I game but come on...

I know it won't cut it for some people. It's all a matter of opinion and taste. I personally like the games the Wii offers more then the other two systems (at least in terms of the exclusives) so to me the Wii is just a better system for me to own. But I will say most of the Wii's good games aren't really Zelda or Mario related (Zelda has 1 exclusive counting Brawl while Mario has around 5). Most are from other series or are totally new.

 

And I'm not going to lie' date=' I really want a PS3 because their are a lot of games that I want to play that I can't on the Wii.

No need. I only post it when people say the Wii doesn't have/has very few good title. I know you know the Wii has good title and I know you know the general number so their is no point.

 

Both look stupid, and I'm not even going to defend the Wii's controls. Yea it can be fun if done right, but most of the times they aren't. Since Altair brought up my list, most of the games on it really don't use the motion controls. In fact, when I can, I go with my GC controler over the Wii controler.

 

Also, are either of them even out? Really, no matter how stupid we may think them to be one or both may end up shocking us.

Sony and Microsoft are stupid, people buy PS3's and Xbox's because they want to play games in the way games should be played, people buy wii's because they want to either pretend they're doing exercise; or are 5. The latter I have no problem with. So now Sony and Microsoft decide to now compete in that market, both copying things from different consoles with slightly different 'Next-Gen' bs added. However what Sony should really be doing is wasting some funking money on getting good DLC at the same time as Xbox and continue improving their online service. Microsoft should pay Squeenix some sheet to get FFXIV on their console. Let the wii have it's market; kids to young to actually game, and middle-class, middle-aged desperate women.

Which is better technically? The Arc. The Natal suffers from some problems such as having difficulty distinguishing darker colours (at the moment it won't recognise people wearing a black shirt, or even darker-skinned people, according to a dev at the GDC), and fairly bad lag. There have also been issues with the AI of games such as Milo that are fairly severe for something that should be no less than nine months away, really. In contrast, the Arc is a superior Wiimote+, which is basically better in every aspect of sensing yaw, pitch, and roll.

 

Which will actually do better? The Natal, because people are retarded.

 

EDIT: To be honest, I'm not a great fan of motion controls. The only games that I think they've actively enhanced are Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, and Metroid Prime: Trilogy, and I suppose a case could possibly be made for Super Mario Galaxy, too. In almost every other game, a waggle is actually less precise than a button press, so it is detrimental. I mean, the Wii still has a few good games despite this, but mostly I prefer sticking to the PC, and I plan to get a PS3.

Opinionated post is full of fail. Come back when you've tried both of them out and have a valid opinion.

 

It's not because people are retarded, it's just that Microsoft is overhyping Natal.
