trailer was outstanding. and then they showed monsters. but it's true, almost entire original dev team is same. as long as you jump. throw cars. jump and throw cars. with people in them. everything will be fine...
my only concern is they are looking for new people for far to long. that could hurt city and the sandbox...

OMG we'll have swarm of this things in the next couple years. plus digital distribution. that's a lot of passwords to lose and questioner to fill.

btw if you misted it here's david perry's ted talk. there is short clip in the talk that's worth viewing;

Game is actually good. it starts slow, and stupid, but it gets much better fast.
It control scheme is classic mmo. Even thou you have full control of ship it's all about tactics and abilitys. Fun part is that leveling doesn't give you skill points but unlock missions and more ingame locations like more planets, starflight, hangar so it more fun to level.

It hurts doesn't it? :))

It's not even that complicated. PS3 motion control is advance EyeToy. It looks cool but so did EyeToy exactly ten years ago.

Wii will stay top seller. Yes that means even damn Vitality Sensor. Uhhhh....

And Xbox360. Well, Microsoft is happy were it is right now. No plans for 720. Xbox360 is selling good. Windows 7 actually sounds good. And loved. Gold subscription is still on the rise. Every DLC sold well. So they plan to simplify Xbox360 even more to attract Wii crowd on assumption there are no enough hardcore, and quality games, on Wii. This will fail, because, simply, Microsoft is really, really, really bad at marketing. Anything. Ever. And PlayStation will drop price.

This is sad because Johnny Chung Lee, Wii head tracking guy, actually works on Natal. When I first saw demo I sad bull***. No way they made something better then most expensive professional tracking hardware and software. But guy writes on his blog that MIT students and bunch of other scientist regularly visit and learn from them. It's simply that good. Just the body motion sensor is good enough for use in indie games. (And there will be pc version)

Microsoft Labs are full with unbelievably smart people. I would say, that and Natal demo is enough. But then I remember Vista...

In the long run. They will all survive. And annoy hell out of us. I'll just buy M.A.G and ignore rest of the world.
