Evening Reading: Waggles Wobble On

by Garnett Lee, Nov 30, 2009 7:04pm PST

During the question and answer section of an investors call today Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot revealed plans to support both Natal and Sony's unnamed wand motion controller for PS3 with a number of titles. He said that Ubi planned to release around ten games specifically for Natal during its first six months post release and something like half that many for the PS3 motion control system.

We've all seen the success of the Wii and plenty of that can be attributed to its controls. But how far do we really want to go with this whole getting up and dancing around in front of the TV thing. I'm not ready to just accept that it's the next big thing. Look at Tony Hawk Ride. Here's a well recognized franchise that now gets the skateboard controller many already probably imagined playing the game with and it's not a big hit. It doesn't seem to be setting sales figures on fire and neither has it won critical acclaim. And while there's definitely truth to the notion that maybe there's been one too many Tony Hawk games already, the success of Skate and all those other Hawk games tells me that there's a lot of people out there who also just aren't so excited about flopping around their living room to play a game.

And if none of that interests you, check out:

I've never been to a Broadway show but Christopher Walken doing a play titled "A Behanding in Spokane" sounds potentially full of win.

    I'm borrowing GH:WT for the Wii from a friend. It is really fun. Someone mentioned a problem with 30fps vs 60 on other systems but I dont have a 360 or ps3 so I don't know what I'm missing I guess. From what I gather online RB2 is good but you'd want to get GHWT because the instruments will be compatible with RB2. My main problem with GHWT is that the song selection isn't that great. I used the code to unlock all the songs and yeah there are a handful that are pretty good but most I care nothing about. So I'm back to being on the fence about purchasing this. It is a great party game though. I like the song list in RB2 and Band Hero. I'm having trouble finding info about Band Hero..if it's instruments are compatible with RB2, I'll probably get that instead since you can import GH5 and GHWT songs into it also.
