I love user interaction so much that I even chose an education in this area. The Natal hype brought me to this forum of curiosity to see what people were expecting from Natal, but to my disappointment it would seem that none of those hyping Nathal have bothered to make any constructive/deep thoughts about its possibilities and disadvantages.

Even worse, those hyping it as a huge selling point seem clueless about what will put Natal apart from the PS3Eye. When 3'rd party developers get a neat idea, what would prevent them from doing the same with the eye?

 

EDIT: Just wanted to add that people already hyping Agent as a huge selling point are just as bad.

Well the reason they haven't thought of its possibilities yet is because no one really knows what Natal can do. All we've seen so far is the (edited) Ad that was shown at E3. I've recently seen some other videos of it, but these did indeed contain really basic stuff, not much better than the Eyetoy. But relying on a product, without even knowing what it can actually do, and praising it as a saviour of sorts is just.... not healthy IMHO.

Yes the very same can be said about Agent at this time. Although Rockstar has established itself as a successful video game developer, so those behind this game's hype aren't entirely wrong in doing so.

All in all, this new standard of hyping games or new products, upto a year or longer before their actual release, just doesn't seem right to a lot people out there (myself included). I honestly fear where the industry is going.
