- It's not going to be 1:1 whole body movement to action on screen. The technology simply isn't that good (and if it was it'd be $500/unit.) Look how much the presenter failed at getting an Avatar to lift up a foot. Maybe arm movements will be 1:1, to match WM+. - The camera is going to have bugs just like the Wiimote did before WM+. It'll work as advertised in Natal v2; it would be a technology first if it did it right first time. If they do wait to perfect it it won't hit 2010. - The Milo demonstration was set up to give the appearance of real, intelligent AI. In the real world it will be obvious it isn't. - Third-party support won't be anywhere near what they imply by having famous people on stage. It has no buttons, and third-parties aren't going to abandon non-Natal-buying X360 owners. Also, it's incompatible with the PS motion sensing. You won't see installments of Halo, CoD, etc. with Natal. |
1. Avatar mess up was a software issue. Has to do with rotating the skeletal system. Will definitely be fixed before release. Looked pretty 1:1 to me on the Richochet videos I watched with celebrities.
2. Not sure what you are talking about.
3. I just don't see why people are getting worked up over the Milo demonstration. Pete has answered on interviews just how the vocal responses are going to work.
4. We do not know at this point. Controllers can and will be used in conjunction with Natal. This does not go against what they said during the conference because they were aiming at the 60% they said they could get into gaming with the absense of controllers. Depends on how good their SDK is as to how well development houses can utilize the software. I am sure MS will help subsidize costs in order to get more software.
Come up with some real issues for us to discuss.
