Ever seen a game whose selling point has been done before, and better? Tell me about it.
In my case, it's Wet. Rubi's whole special thing is shooting one guy manually while auto-aiming at another. Well, I've got news Artificial Mind and Movement, you got beat by Lucas Arts. Specifically, by Star Wars: Bounty Hunter; in which you run around the galaxy as Jango Fett and kill anything that looks at you funny. Jango's signature weapons are his dual blaster pistols, with which he can aim at one guy, and auto-aim at another. The major differences being that Jango has lock-on targeting, and he can do this trick without having to do crazy acrobatics at the same time.
Given that it's Lucas Arts doing this, it was probably done somewhere else first, but I haven't seen it.
Pararaptor: Project Natal? You were beaten by the Wii. Wii? You were beaten by the EyeToy.
Do I have to point out that the Wii and the Eye Toy have virtually nothing in common.
Oh I don't know, waving your arms around in front of a screen is the basic principle behind both of them. And most of their games all rely heavily on waggle.
I honestly feel this way for all FPS's, aren't there enough of them out there? In my opinion there really is well over enough. I don't mind playing them, it's just... there's so much of them out already and it seems like they're just pouring out endlessly.

The method of input is the same. A story is a story whether it's told through a book or a television. That's probably a really bad analogy.

If we're going to stretch this line of logic out even more, you might as well just say that the Eye Toy was a rip-off of video cameras. And every FPS is a rip off of Doom. Or Blake Stone. Whichever you want to harken back to. I prefer Blake.

ehhh wii fanbois? Honestly, after owning the wii, it's nothing more than a glorified eye toy.

ehhh being a bit presumptuous?
I'm hardly a fanboy of that system, but saying its essentially an eyetoy is just...wrong.

No, any time a book is adapted to television or movies much is lost in the translation, and you end up with fans of the original book whining on Internet forums about how they "ruined it". Besides what does that have to do with anything?
Y'know how people ALWAYS say that castle wolfenstein 3D was the one which ultimately revolutionised first person games...Hovertank and catacombs, did it all before you, gna gna gna gna gna gna (Mainly doing this with extreme sarcasm).

Sounds kind of ignorant, The eye toy is a camera that recognizes movement, the wii remote has a infared sensor bar and accelerometers (3 if your using the Motion +, I think). Tech is very different, both of which have advantages but aren't suited to gaming, yet. My bets on accelerometers over cameras.
Anyways, gimmicks, Spin jump from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I liked the way it was in Super Mario...land? (I forget which, the one with the yoshis and the star place and ya).

Blake Stone was a total conversion of the Wolfenstein 3D engine. It added floor and ceiling textures though, was pretty advanced at the time.

That's exactly one of the reasons why I'm saving for a PS3, so I can have a little more variety in my game library (I'm not saying that the PS3 has more variety, but since my family already has a 360, it'll mean access to more games, meaning greater variety).
