- 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. |
First point is a software problem. The reason that this wont ship until fall 2010 is to perfect the software.
Second point may have some merit, but it isnt like this is the first camera for a console. Console manufacturers and WebCam manufacturers have been working on these issues for years.
Third point Milo itself again is software sitting on top of Project Natal. Milo failure or success has little to do with Project Natal. Project Natal having a real good SDK will help Milo be developed, but that is the extent of it.
Fourth point is pure speculation. It will certainly depend if the buzz for Natal continues and how good the SDK's MS puts together. Neverthelees I expect MS to drive the software development of the first generation of Natal titles.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
