| DM235 said: I still don't understand any of the hype surrounding Natal. Aside from an interesting way to navigate menus or pick movies, why would anyone care about playing games without a controller? Do you play tennis by flapping your hands? Do you drive a car without a steering wheel? Maybe there are people out there who have deep aspirations to becoming a mime can finally live out their dreams, but I'm not one of those people. I agree that a 16-button controller may be intimidating for some people, but I think the Wii's approach with steering wheels and tennis rackets, where the standard controller fits inside them, is more "natural". Besides, I can see Natal backfiring when you do some sort of hand gesture to rub it in to a friend after beating them, only to have Natal misinterpret it and either cause you to crash or lob a hand grenade at yourself. Maybe Microsoft will amaze us all, but I'll believe it when I see it. |
Natal can scan objects, so insted of releasing about 50 different peripherals, you can scan in your own bat, skateboad, tennis racket, gold club, ect and use that.
yes the main aim is "no controller" but obviously Microsoft are giving options (as they always do)
