Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft: Researchers Already Working on Natal II

I feel like there's a lot of either ignorance, or blind dislike of MS in this thread. How many companies develop something, then tell their R&D to go to Jamaica for 6 months? Natal's hardware is done and ready - yes they could continue making it more advanced for 2 more years before releasing it, but the same can be said for ANYTHING. You develop a product, you improve that product. That is normal. And if you're confident enough that it will be a success, you don't need to wait and see how it pans out before continuing development. The team that designed it would be the best team to continue making it more advanced. Why put them on something else? or tell them to twiddle their thumbs? Soon as Natal is (or was) finalized, they began working on the next generation of it. Makes sense.

there is a difference between a company researching and a company saying " WE ARE RESEARCHING " on a new version of something that didn't even finish development

A NEW VERSION  = Something better than what we will sell to you.

since they are working on two different versions why don't they focus on one of them instead? , some of you people take everything way too personal, its not like some random PS3 fanboys are going to murder the R&D developement team with their forum posts.

Natal is prett ymuch developed - they may be tweaking the software, but the capabilities of the hardware are there, and they're focussing on reducing costs and developing titles in preparation for the release. They can't just decide to push back Natal a year or two to bring all the advancements they're planning for Natal 2, this forces all the developers working on Natal games to go back to the drawing board, as well as suddenly having nearly developed games become unreleasable. People call it a ripoff, but what's the alternative? Wait a year or two, screw everyone who supported them with a launch release, and then release a more expensive product way too late in the game? Anyone who doesn't want Natal now doesn't have to buy it, but wanting to wait for Natal II means there are no winners, and a lot of losers.

 

And I don't take it personally, it just seems that people look for a reason to criticize, when their points look at 10% of the picture and judge the whole thing.

Yeah, it makes sense to keep your engineers working, but don't undermine your product by telling potential customers that it's going to be obsolete soon. What a rookie mistake.

^THis. It's like saying don't buy Natal 1.0 yet cuz 2.0 is in the works lol Horrible PR

Well you all fail because that's not what they are saying.

  • THEY ARE NOT WORKING ON NATAL 2 YET, THEY ARE RESEARCHING
  • ALL HARDWARE COMPANIES ADMIT THIS (THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON THE NEXT ITERATION AS OF OR EVEN BEFORE RELEASING THE CURRENT GENERATION) BOTH SONY AND MS HAVE SAID THINGS ALONG THESE LINES IN REGARDS TO FUTURE PLATFORMS.
  • FORZA 3 WAS NEITHER RUSHED NOR DID IT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS

Another 360 thread bites the dust thanks to rampant Sony fanboyism on VGChartz!

And no mod in sight once again

"Welcome to VGChartz, Home to the Playstation Community. Here at VGChartz you can troll the 360 or even make bogus claims and get away with it, but the second you mention the Wii. Well i would finish this sentence but im already banned"

 

OT- Everyone knows that people are always researching even if a product is launching, quit trolling Natal.



*Remember when the world was supposed to end on May 21st, 2011? Well click here to see our short parody video of it [not]ending*

You guys are readin way too much into this, he doesn't mention any timescales for a start. This is simply a case of him saying the company believes the technology has a big future and they're looking into future implementations.

Too many haters in this thread already, mind you its expected whenever a thread opens in the Microsoft section with Natal in the title. You may as well just name a thread "diss Natal" and put it in the Sony forum and make it easier all round for everyone.

Lol look everyone!  He posted a picture of all the Sony fans in this thread! LOL!!!!

Sony start working on the PS4 years ago...

every company starts working on their products way in advance but this like we are gonna release the older version now even though we are thinking of replacing it after some time with newer tech.then you will have to spend money twice and we will be rich

 

Sony release their consoles every 6 years and even then they support the old ones.

 

its like MS is not putting their whole strength in Natal and thinking of what will be next.

I didn't take my advice after my last ban, I'm pretty much done now, the forums have become a joke.

 

@Maverick - I'll not answer a blatant  troll, its such a shame I'm liable now to get banned for calling you what you are.  You were reported yet here we are several pages later and you're still around.
