I know I shouldn't be but I remain skeptical. I think the fact he said that developers were getting their kits "today" (and he meant today as in a literal sense) kind of bewildered me. That kind of means it is a ways off and why would it be today? To keep secret I guess, is the answer but obviously others have had it earlier. Lionheart?
The other thing - dividing your userbase. Yeah Sega did this with a CD drive. Consoles are set in stone. They are not PC's - the hardware does not evolve. I see Natal really an Xbox 720 thing.
I am also skeptical about the voice recognition with the Milo demo. Even a beefed up i7 PS with grunt well past a console would struggle processing that type of "on the fly" unscripted AI.
I have no doubt it may be possible now but not on 3 year old hardware.
Sorry, skeptic here, "marketing speak" awareness needed :).
I hope I am wrong.

It is Lionhead. And even they only worked on Milo for a couple weeks and they are first party.

Ahh yeah my bad about the Lionhead. Typing too fast. They did say they had it for a couple of months, not weeks.
|
My bad, just watched it again. He did say a few months. But my point still stands.

hehe, well I think I kind of gave an answer my self. "To keep it secret". But my point still stands too - it's obviously early stages. This thing appears to be a ways off.
My other point - dividing your userbase. This is the main problem. I think strategically they would be better saving it for the next Xbox which would also have the grunt to drive such AI and complex physics. That is not meant to be a criticism of the current 360. I don't believe any current console can really do what the marketing here is claiming.
