The New Generation Of Video Gaming Platforms

By Jason Myers

This generation of Videogames steps into unchartered happiness we never expected would be created so quickly. Reading a summary of E3 news on varied gaming websites the golden prize for modernization has to go to Microsoft for Xbox 360's project Natal. Sony PlayStation 3 created something for youngsters - the Eyepet. Nintendo claimed to be the masters' of motion controllers some 5 years in advance in terms of their skill in formulating non conventional controllers.

First off let me tell you a little about Xbox 360's Natal. Microsoft disclosed a hands free controller project called Natal. Natal works on genuine 1:1 motion control interaction with graphical and speech identification. The hardware recognises the form of a player, their actions and also their hand commands.

Shifting over to Playstation PS3's press conference stadium all the eyes were on one thing. A new magical toy for Sony PS3 called "EyeToy". PlayStation Eye is the second production of PS3 games using motion detector. The EyeToy, primarily used in a type of playing card battle game provide a notion of how games can interface with cameras as well as motion. An impressive magic card makes a 3D hologram when placed on the floor in front of the EyeToy unlocking other games to play with your Eyepet. Sony hasn't given up on handheld gaming just yet either.

PlayStation also unveiled twin handed motion sensor. It's nice that they are picking up gamers off the sofa, providing the games are worth getting off the couch for. Sony PS3's Eye-Toy motion controller idea was not a different idea to Natal. PS3's future 1:1 gameplay mapping was established by somebody clutching virtual world things in their own hand, yes the graphics seemed wonderful.

Nintendo's motion controller - Wii motion plus adapter for the Wii remote was announced last year and this month it went on sale. Nintendo also talked about the new Nintendo DS, DSi and Wii games: Sports Resort with Motion Plus, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario for Wii and Wii Fit Plus the second in the Wii Fit series comes with new game software available separately for those who previously own a Wii Balance Board.
