This natal technology just blew my 3 year old up. With the backing of Spielbergo and Peter this technology will be well explored and refined. Give this 3 years and everyone will be trying to duplicate it.

True, but not as a complete video game controller. More of an actual computer input device.

Where the Wiimote+nunchuk can do any genre and a few really really well, this can only do a few. Many genres will not be doable.

However, I would like to see a well done RTS game with this.

Oh yeaah ? Can a nunchuk do voice recognition or map your all body ?

The wii controllers (all of them) feel like a gimmick in comparaison.

 

I say Project Natal rocks !!... now to deliver...

First off I did not say Natal wasn't a really cool device with a lot of potential to computers as a whole, however, does voice recognition and mapping of your whole body help with most of the gaming genres? No it doesn't.

So my point still stands. As a peice of technology it is really fascinating and will become great in a couple of years with advancements. As a gaming controller, it is actually limited to the genres it will function on.
