| nightsurge said: Hmm lets see. You mean that French blog post of past worries about Natal that were never confirmed? I think I trust the dozens of news stories that have come out since then about the finished Natal product. The ones claiming perfect body mirroring, no lag issues, etc. As for your last thing, obviously an Eyetoy with Wiimote would be better than just an EyeToy. But Natal would be better than both of those. The EyeToy can only track 2D color changes and what not. Adding the "wiimote" as you call it (otherwise known as PS Move), lets you track 2 points in 3D space, but direct view of the wands must be available and decent lighting is recommended. This does have some drawbacks. For example, if you watch the PS Move commercial showing off the fighting game, the elbows tend to get confused and not match up with the persons movements because nothing other than the 2 hands are tracked. With Natal the full body would be tracked and mirrored. Natal can track up to 48 points per person in 3D space and mimic even complex human movements like break dancing. Add in that Natal can work in complete darkness and I think it is clear which is more appealing and more advanced. Natal. |
Not confimered doesn't mean instantly its wrong. Unless there is good reason to distrust the site, there is no reason to dismiss what it wrote.
Links to the articles saying how good Natal is?
Plus I was explaining Natal and Move through how the non educated buyer and retailers will view it. Either get a movement kit with just a camera, or one with a camera and control. Not to mention Natal is similar to Eyetoy in the sense of no button control.
Also Move doesn't need LoS - look back at the E3 demo. Also at a recent tech demo, the technician (same guy at E3) mentioned how it uses the accelerometer to figure out its location in real time space when its out of the view of the eyetoy.
Also if Natal is so awesome, why did Sony pass up on it & choose Move? Let's not forget which won out of bluray and HD-DVD....
