No More Heroes Designer Keen On Project Natal

@Cochese: Sabotage is an epic video...: It's hit and miss. One good thing about the DS is that not every game has to use the touch screen for everything. You can play a lot of games without using it at all, and some use it for menus and various mini-games within a game. The only problem is when you get games like the Starfox one they made for DS that requires you to use touch screen for movement. I think stuff like that is nice when it's simply used as an enhancement, not a requirement.

@Hellicus: But they will be on every console, that's the point. I'd be fine if it were just the Wii. Heck, I would also be okay with Natal. But now even Sony has motion controls that they're releasing. It's a valid concern to worry if gaming will become as bad as the Wii is. So maybe you should be the one shutting up until you get your facts straight.

@Trepie: I'm a gamepad person. Touch controls as an additive to regualar gamepad controls as seen in many DS games are fine too. Then again, Zelda controlled sublimely on the DS...

@Stevetrop: Same here. Just not sure if I want Natal really at the moment. Still needs more announcements like this.

What? Commander Keen designer is no longer a hero?

Suda probably WILL do something with the Natal. Something horrifying, 4th wall breaking, and probably pretty terrifying for most of the general populace.
I have a great deal of confidence in him.
I don't have a great deal of confidence in the Natal as a device used for more...sophisticated games, but that has been talked about repeatedly whenever someone brings up the device.
Picture this. KILLER 8 BY SUDA 51! ONLY FOR NATAL!
You would play the whole game in whatever weird way he wishes, and then, the final fight is against a giant representation of your own head taken from the Natal's camera.

@Trepie: I'm seriously tired of this type of comments on every Natal/Wii/Sony-wand post... Motion controls are not for every game or console, so STFU.

I dig Suda. He takes some risks. He doesn't always bat a 1000, but he is willing to take chances and that is a rare thing these days. I would love to see what he could come up with for Project Natal. No More Heroes is one of the Wii's best third party games, and despite it's flaws, I enjoyed Killer 7. I'd lovve to see him come up with an original I.P. for the 360, Natal or not.

As much as I disapprove of NATAL, I would shit myself if I could have No More Heroes on my 360.

@zach a mac rack alack: erh.. that was the Wii idea, not the natal one.

I dunno, that Natal demo I saw seemed kinda LAGGY.

Try darkstepping with that, Travis Touchdown.

mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta

I'd play with Suda's shit.

That man is the MAN.

@Dangeresque the Observer: I realize there are other people who feel the same way, it's just that the media seems to glorify this stuff and tout it as the "future of gaming" and all that jazz. It just seems like anyone who doesn't love this stuff is in a minority that goes ignored.

Sure Suda, you finally have the perfect excuse to betray Nintendo.

@Ueziel: Agreed. NMH is a Wii title. It just seems right for it to be there. I woudl definitely like to see Suda 51 design something new. Porting NMH to 360/PS3 would have it lose a little bit of its charm, I think.

If anyone could do awesome things with Natal, it's Suda51.

Motion controls = blah

Can anybody here change gear in driving game using their
'built in' gear stick? What about reverse gear? So challenging!!

@Doeseph: So, the daughter, and... the son?

@LtdEdLoser: The censored Europe edition will be a jerking game with no jerking at all.
It's already out and it's called Blank piece of paper. You can throw it in the bin like a normal piece of paper.

Neat.

I'd do the chick in the middle and on the left, and yea project natal is cool or something.

if Natal works as MS says, then it will be awsome...for an hour or so. It has to be 1:1 movement to work at ALL though- As the best games are about reflexes and fast reactions...sometimes you just have to have a button.

i have a feeling however that it will be glitchy and only niche games will work for it. Not a bad thing just not the revolution fanboys are hoping for i'd say.

if Sony's motion thingy works 1:1 (ie like a wii mote that actually works) then i can see that being more applicable to existing genres.

interesting times eh? or just shit times rebranded...

HD no more heroes would be really nice. and the game itself didn't use much motion control at all

@Ueziel: Yeah, well, and I want not to be haunted by some of the shit from Killer 7, but we don't all get what we want, do we? Call me a pussy if you want, that game creeped me the fuck out. And it wasn't even the gore and shit, it was just... the atmosphere, I guess. I would be running down an empty hallway, and just get this overpowering feeling of WRONG.

Amazing game, though... just having trouble getting through it. Having to stop every half hour and play something else to get my spirits up.

@Str8_Jihadin: Especially with your pants still up. Questions will be raised.

@Str8_Jihadin: "Imagine what would happen if your anyone came into the room while you were 'recharging' up the beam saber."

Fix'd. And no, I didn't fix the grammar issue, I left it. Look... haaaarder.

@Firelance: Hmmm. I suppose, on closer examination, she is both youthful and attractive. A positive response in the pants region, though perhaps an extreme reaction, is not entirely unjustified.

/returns to Observing. Capital O.

@Trepie: Actually, the sentiment has been expressed often, and with enthusiasm. Kotaku recently posted an original article by Leigh Alexander about why we should stick to the controller. So... you're not. You're just unobservant.

That said, I have only ever once thought that my gameplay experience was enhanced my motion controls- Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, the minigame where you're trying to talk on your cellphone in the movie theater. If you've played it, you know the one I mean. Best. Minigame. Ever.

@Trepie: Hell no you're not!

Controllers > Motion controls

Unplugged

@CreamSodaSlurpee: Well Marvelous is now considering (siliconera posted a story) porting some of their titles to the ps3/360 - so I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

@Firelance: Yeah that is one Milf

No More Heroes would be much better suited for the PS3. Their motion controller not only already glows like a beam katana, but it's shaped like a penis, making the innuendo in the game that much more priceless.

@Str8_Jihadin: I'm chargin' mah lasers ma! Seriously, learn to knock!

@Dead Giveaway: Its $20 New $26 Used (at Gamestop, I know) But its worth it, I pick it up if I were you.

I don't want No More Heroes on the 360. Ever. And I own one. If he does anything with Natal, I want it from the ground up with ideas created specifically for it. An "enhanced port" is so far below this man's abilities that it's ridiculous. If he's going to spend tons of money on a gamble with both Natal and the 360 (when Grasshopper REALLY doesn't have the funds to sink into it), I want it something truly super cool, and not something I've already played to death and is easily available to anyone willing to not be retarded.

@LtdEdLoser:

Imagine what would happen if your mother came into the room while you were "recharging" up the beam sword

As much as I want to play No More Heroes, I never got around to getting it. Just like dozens of other Wii games.

But if it were on the 360, i'd have it on my Gamercard by now.

To be honest, the girl from the Natal Ad always had, uh, turned me on.

Firelance

People's comments to stuff like Natal really shows a lack of imagination when it comes to practical applications of the tech. No More Heroes didn't have that much motion control, you basically held the remote in a certain angle for high/low attacks and used it for finishers.

Applying that to Natal combined with a traditional controller would be pretty easy, not to mention the rest of the options it gives, like voice/face recognition, a true 3D model of the room and your relative position etc.

I'd be interested to see what he could do with the system

We'll if a No More Heroes pop up on the 360. And I happen to have a Natal I'd most definitely take a gander at it.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person who doesn't care for motion controls. Just give me a control pad and I'm happy.

Yes... I can see it now... pretend to hold a big katana and thrust your arms into the air in front of you. Brilliant.

The image of having to jerk the beam sword came to mind
