MTV Networks, a division of Viacom, today announced a broad-ranging, first-of-its-kind programming partnership with Microsoft Corp. for Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010, the video game industry’s leading trade show. For the first time, only MTV Networks will take viewers inside the spectacular controller-free games and entertainment with The World Premiere of Project Natal for Xbox 360 experience, a spectacular live performance imagined by Cirque du Soleil, and live to the Xbox 360 Media Briefing for game announcements, world premieres and breaking news on the future of the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.

"We look forward to making entertainment history again at E3 Expo 2010 and can’t think of a better partner than MTV Networks to exclusively share our news, experiences and Cirque du Soleil's amazing creativity with an entirely new audience," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president, Interactive Entertainment Business, Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft.

Cirque du Soleil and Project Natal
Heralded by TIME Magazine as one of the top inventions of 2009, Project Natal is set to forever change the way we interact with entertainment. In the world premiere experience, the creative visionaries at Cirque du Soleil created a stunning production that brings the idea of controller-free gaming and entertainment to life. Witness an original and exclusively created consumer spectacle that pushes the boundaries of live entertainment with cutting-edge technology, pulsating music, amazing puppetry, futuristic video projection, and unbelievable physical dexterity.

Haha, I agree. The only game I've played where I TRULY enjoyed it was TW on the Wii. And even then, after about 30 min, I just wanted to sit my *** back down on the coach and play with a regular controller.

I have to agree with Altimus that this is nothing but fluff...

Re: E3 2010: Microsoft Conference

I'm intrigued by the tech and potential, but like I mentioned before, it comes down to the software, and nothing so far for either Natal or Move has excited me. We still haven't even seen proper Natal software, but I'm afraid it's going to be uber casual stuff. I would like to see Natal enhance some games in meaningful ways without taking the controller out of your hands. There's lots of potential.

Re: E3 2010: Microsoft Conference

I feel they need to do the opposite and ditch the lame'o controllers all together.
Seriously it's 2010 and we are just now finally getting the option to turn off the "sprint" button?.?.?.?
Controller are past thier prime and hopefully sooner rather than later there won't be an option for controllers any longer..
Finally, everything I just said is BS and I just wanted to get some of you peoples blood a little warmer. I'll try the motion stuff but yeah unless it's really ground breaking...blah.

Death to Controllers! :wink:

I posted this in the Sony Press Conference about Move and Natal.

To me, Move looks cool, but its exactly like what the Wii is doing except the Move tech seems to be more accurate with the use of the camera. I just hope this stuff is supplemental and not mandatory. Natal intrigues me a bit more since you don't have to mess with any extra controllers and I can see it being huge for ushering commands in games that allow for strategy where it would be cool.............but is dorky if you are walking around pretending to slash people or using a gun. LOL! Can you imagine standing in front of the TV and acting like you are firing a gun, you have a neighbor seeing you do this through a window? They'd be like this guy is nuts.

If I want to exercise, I will go out and exercise. To me the motion stuff isn't all that interesting.

it's not meant to be exercise. It's just an attempt to broaden the base of a console. The wii sells great, and MS and Sony want to push HD Wii like experiences to those people.

While I have virtually zero interest in Natal or Move, both consoles will continue to support their real core users, so I don't really mind. Now if MS pushes out Natal Forza 4 or whatever, then that'll be awful.

Im not trying to beat a dead horse man, im really not, but supporting the core base would be doing something about the crap hardware they've released.

Making some cheesy motion detection add on does nothing for the majority of us
