Do you people still not realize that Natal is meant to appeal to the millions to even billions of people out there that do not even game on the Wii because they are not good with using controllers? So many people out there are intimidated or frustrated with controllers. If you don't believe me, that's because you are a traditional gamer surrounded by gaming friends. Find some non-gaming friends and see how they fare. They usually end up getting mad or upset because they can't use the controller very well. Natal is meant to appeal to the Wii audience and BEYOND that. Then adding the ability to navigate the dashboard, voice commands, facial recognition, etc. this will open up the 360 and NextBox to media enthusiasts as well. The Sony approach is very limited in that it is trying to directly mimic the Wii with much inferior technology. Trying to adapt the PSEye to be used for Wii-mote like experience will not work in every situation. Sony is going for the "hardcore persons motion control" while MS is more focusing on motion control that EVERYONE can enjoy and pick up on. Also to the people above, you do realize Sony's PSEye can only do more than 30hz if it shrinks the capturing resolution by half, right? That means less accuracy in the tracking. And while you are right in assuming that it is much easier to have a system track 2 points rather than 48, there is nothing being said that Natal has to use all 48 points. What if a developer makes a game that just wants to track your head and hands? They can do that and perhaps in those instances the "lag", which is less than the input lag in Killzone 2 by the way, would be even less noticeable. |
no, I honestly didn't know that. a question for you though: where were these millions and billion of people when this tech (although a bit older) released on THE BEST SELLING SYSTEM OF ALL TIME? I sure didn't see all these non-controller gamers rush to the stores because they were finally able to play videogames without controllers. Natal will not fail, mainly because of massive hype, but there are certainly not millions and billions of people that are intimidated by controllers. if there were, eye toy would've sold much better.
and natal is doing what? not trying to mimic eye toy? please... when did eye toy release? 6 years ago? maybe even more. for a company like MS with all their resources I would expect a MUCH BIGGER IMPROVEMENT from the eye toy than what we have saw at e3. and ps3 wand is inferior to the wiimote because?? the wiimote is crap..
and i agree with this statement.

At the end of the day, that's how most things that become big in gaming do. It's not about being first, it's about doing something at the right time and shouting in loud enough. By the time Natal launches, it might have over 3 times as many games as the PSEye has, and that's after the PSEye having 3 years on the market. How many retail games are there again after two years? Eye of Judgment and Eyepet? Whoopdie doo. The technology doesn't matter. The dedication to the hardware is the difference maker. |
