Former EyeToy exec warns of the difficulties facing Natal, ‘Arc’
In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Jamie MacDonald, former Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios (the company responsible for EyeToy), gave out a few pointers to Sony and Microsoft regarding their respective motion controllers. MacDonald warned that gamers are anticipating more from the 360 and PS3’s motion gaming than they do from the Wii, due to both consoles’ beefier hardware. However, he also warned about implementing “traditional long-form gameplay,” lengthy sessions of which would leave players “completely knackered.”
MacDonald’s wisest words came when talking about pricing the two pieces of hardware. He suggested they follow Sony’s strategy with EyeToy, where the peripheral and a piece of software came bundled for the price of a normal game, which kept consumers from “paying a premium for the hardware.” That’s a sweet thought, but it’s a tiny presumptive — after all, we have yet to hear a price for the two devices. (Hell, we have not even heard a name for one of them.)
