It reminds me a lot of the eye toy so if they sell it the way PS2 sold it, like a game, it'l be alright. I looks pretty good but it's not gonna work on a lot of games which means the xbox is gonna get a load of wii type games *removes own eyes*
But the voice activation thing kinda worries me, as everyone knows voice activation is crap and can never seem to understand what you say.
Does anybody know if they're gonna make it a control replacement or like an eye toy kinda game thing?

This is pretty much what I thought. It sounds like it might be a good idea and produce some innovative titles, but I really can't see this sort of thing working for your average fps-space-marine-shoot-em-upfest, though I would love to be proven wrong.Avida said:
I don't think so, because if it's a failure, I don't think developers and such would think it would be a good idea to carry on making games for it. However I do quite like the look of the fighting thing that I saw, but I'll bet it's going to be buggy as hell.
I just hope this whole thing will be something that goes along "normal" Gaming, instead of replacing it.
I said in a different thread that while something like Natal (although i think the chances are better with Sonys thingie) could work for many genres, however i doubt that it works as good as the usual method in many games.
And while new gaming concepts would be certainly interesting, i don't want to "lose" the games i'm used to...

Of course, this is just a replacement of those 3D helmets and gloves we've seen since the 80's. Remember playing Descent with such an expensive helmet? Now you can have the same experience and you don't need to put on the Power Glove. One step closer to socially accepted gaming. I'm all for it.Frybird said:
I have a strong dislike for motion sensors in games, just like with my wii.. i don't wanna sit there waving my arms around in order to relax..
i have the gym for that ><

This is something I found that washed a fair bit of my skepticism away...

Imagine how cool the Milo program would be in an RPG...

MS has been trying to get nintendo's casual market for a couple of years: remember last year's presentation? You have to admit, this is at least more interesting than that movie thing.
I also think it's funny that the hardcore xbots are so excited about it as it's not really going to do them any favors. This natal thing is pretty cool but it's more for the types of games you play on the wii and general operation of the console, it's not going to be for the shooters and other hardcore games. It's going to be really cool for parents who bought their kids a 360.
Same with the ps3-motes.

But I dont see why anybody would try to separate the controller from gaming. Yeah! Let's pay 200 dollars for a mediocre gaming experience that hardly compares to the actual, cheaper thing! All right! And Milo. Fucking Milo. DAISY DAISY GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER DO
Here is the vid! [http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Project+natal/video/x9haih_microsoft-e3-2009-press-conference_videogames] After watching this I can safely say, HOLY SHIT! Its like they perfected the wii! You just got owned nintendo!
I hope they keep the controller though. I like using it.
