It's a fair point that people should question the technology Mike but the main point of this thread was Nintendo would have been flamed for releasing this technology. This is not true as is now clear from the Nintendo crowd trolling the Sony and Microsoft threads saying it's crap and will not work without having actually experienced anything themselves. I personally think the threads point was proved early on when the only answer people had to the OP question was to flame Natal. I don;t see how this thread as anywhere left to travel now and there are other more relevant threads to Sony and Microsoft's new devices.

well, let's summarise

i said that what Natal has shown us until now is 90% family/sports/party games, so i don't understand why core gamers like it.  Yes, this is why memebers of the press were able to play Burnout on it, and why MS plans to release COD & Halo

if Nintendo had shown that instead at E3, they would receive even more hate than now, gamers would look at it with a more negative eye let's say.  Erm, no, thats just the fanboy in you crying because Wii hasn't recieved enough attention this time round

ironman says that core gamers are hyped because MS said it will work will Halo and Call of Duty

me/some people say it's impossible and that Natal is very limited for core games and that WM+ has more possibilites. I already explained how NATAL would work with "core" games...three times. You doubt... I guess I will just have to feed you crow. 

ironman says it can work for all games, through speech recognition, commands same commands for all games, walk on place, say cover left, jump in real life to jump, crouch in real life and so on, say the combo you want to use for fighters (english lesson basically) : P How is that an english lesson? Also, did I not say that what I proposed is not necesarily what MS will do in terms of commands and such? They will use the way that seems to work best with their applications. 

seems speech recognition can work, but most games would require different commands and action games/fighters need fast gameplay, so commands wouldn't work because until you say cover left you'll be shot. 

also, walk in place can be cool but walking, jumping and speaking let's say for one hour can be tiring

and personally i'm back at the conclusion that, without a controller it cannot work for most action/core games (maybe a swordplay or karate game, not much more)

and i still can't understand how Natal can work so perfect for core gamers (or most of them suddently became casual), and therefore, why are they so..... fans of Natal!? because they want it to kill Nintendo/Wii  (i don't speak about ironman, generally about more than 50% of core gamers, and we watch it on other sites as well)

and i still belive that if Nitendo had announced Natal instead, people would see it with a more negetive eye, my opinion. Read my second statement. I believe you are wrong.
