Kodu said they will have the input lag down to around 100ms. This is comparable to many games that use controllers.

Actually if true, that would be better than most games which use controllers.

I believe 100 ms refers to the lag Natal introduces, not the total lag from input to game code to rendering.

 

Either way, it is going to be improving from the videos we have already seen.

I was thinking about that actually... did anyone measure the lag on those videos? It's probably easy to do by playing frame by frame.

 

Digital Foundry did.  They are the ones that actually said it was similar to Killzone 2.

 

I see. I wonder whether motion controls make lag more or less noticeable. If it's something like IR aiming or mouse control, lag should be very noticeable, and in the Natal breakout videos it looks noticeable, but of course that's not from the perspective of the person who's playing.
