I agree that they were probably thrown on state without enough prep, so I feel bad for them. It's possible their tech will work as well as Natal and MotionPlus when tuned properly in better demos, but the sloppy presentation made Natal and MotionPlus look far more effective.
Presentation is awkward, but let's cut them some slack cause they are engineers. It looks like Sony saw Natal and said "we have to show something" and threw them onstage at the last minute. The first demo was terrible, but all the ones after that were really impressive.
I'm not really all for this new motion control craze, but the archery did look pretty badass.
I would say this is my favourite type of motion control. The sword combat really sold me.
I've gotta say that between this Natal and Wii Motion Plus, I can imagine having the most fun with this. Will still 100% buy Natal though!
EDIT: I thought that these two guys did a great job. When I see Trenton, I'm seeing someone who has been trained to do big conferences. These two are obviously just Sony Engineers. I wouldn't have the guts to stand up there and talk in front of all of those people like they do. +1 respect.
The best part I think it was the sword fighting... why is there no game for Wii like that yet?
Best take on motion control.
Looks like it can be use in some sensible way - but only time will show
I thought this was amazing when I saw it. His handwriting with the motion controller is better than mine is with a pen.
Microsoft's effort is obviously way more ambitious, but in practice I can see Sony's being way more appropriate for the kinda games I will want to play. If the Natal isn't able to pick out subtle wrist movements, for example, doesn't that limit it's potential pretty badly?

Seems like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are all going in different directions with this motion sensing stuff. It will be interesting to see which one will become the industry "standard".
As (understandably) nervous as they were, the guy pulling off that headshot with the bow was a pretty cool moment.
WHA-BAM!
WHA-BAM!
Yea the presentation wasn't perfect but I think I prefer the more candid style than the rehearsed and badly scripted presentations we often see.
In fact, I found this presentation one of the most enjoyable and interesting so far and I think Sony were right to put these guys out there with this stuff even if it is a little early. Seeing this has at least generated interest in the PS3 for me and I'm sure it has for many others as well.

that was surprisingly impressive. Was not expecting such a thing at all. Finally I feel like I'm getting good news from Sony other the game titles.(MGS on 360 was heartbreaking to me as a Sony fanboy...)
Pretty cool stuff, liked the sword and shield demo. .Like it more than Natal.
