Natal's tech looks cool, but not for gaming.
That video of the girl hitting the balls with her whole body looks like torture. Like the most un-fun.. impossible bullshit ever.
who wants to race by holding their hands out in front of them... not me unless i am actually holding a wheel.
Natal does not imitate realism through motion.. it simulates nothing, it is an alternate way to create games that is unlike anything else.
without anything tangible or tactile, it seems like playing games will literally digress into waving your hands around in the air like an idiot.
Natal does seem cool for facial recognition, menu navigation and very basic gameplay elements of games, but you know what will happen is a good game will integrate both standard controls with natal. seems cool but when i am holding the controller, then i have to set it down to twirl my hands around to play halo reach, i think i might scream
its all just a wait and see at this point. It has proved nothing yet though which is why i am being overly critical about it.
Seems like a mis-management of resources by Microsoft imo, and nobody asked for this. MS is telling us what we want. I do have to give kudos to MS for trying something real for a change, this sort of creative passion and resource devotion is more typical to something Sony would do.
