Common people. there is only 2 months untill e3. MS is a damn big company, and they can fund Natal untill it gets perfect I doubt that they will totally screw this up, seeing how much time, money and effort they put in its promotion

The only thing I find extremely questionable (beyond the rather questionable article as a whole) is how he states that the initial $50 price tag is considered to be INCREASED even after they removed one of the chips in Natal.

Not surprised, it is made by Microsoft.

The article just infers a lot of its information. It really seems like nothing new is contained, just a lot of guess work.

I really expect for Natal to be in good shape by E3.

How about we actually see the tech for ourselves people instead of running around and bad mouthing the product. Could Natal be revolutionary? Quite possibly. It could also end up being a huge failure but lets wait until we actually get a good look at the new build and software before drawing conclusions.

My fellow VG user ben, you state that Natal could very well be revolutionary. Do you mind telling the rest of us how? I don't mean to single you out, but other than hype from the media and from Microsoft, we havn't seen anything to show that Natal is anything better than an improved eyetoy.

While some people may down play Natal as i just have, by you saying that it could very well be revolutionary, with absolutely no evidence at all, you are just as bad.

That ball game is one of the most idiotic things the industry ever produced.

First - it's impossible to win.
Second - you look like an idiot playing.
Third - even though there's rule 1, you'll try to win no matter what, thus looking even more idiotic with time.

First- is the objective to get a higher score than another person? 

Second- true, but i imagine that it is pretty fun and can get addicting trying to beat another persons score. (if high score is the objective of the game)

Third- true, but if it is, then it is doing its job and keeping its user engaged. 

 

I see the ball game, while being idiotic to a point, being a great joy to play.

Well, somebody correct me if I'm ignorant, but: do we know ANYTHING about Natal? I mean, final specs? how the thing actually works with OFFICIAL data? What Natal games we know about? It seems to me WE HAVE SEEN TOO LITTLE of Natal.

It's been weeks since a full-fledged "let's scour the interwebz to find some random anti-natal news and make a thread about it so we can all fap together at how smart we are to support anyone but MS!" thread has surfaced. Mostly people have just been making "LOL fail!" comments in other threads. I was starting to think we might have moved on, oh well, too much to ask for on teh chartz.

Ha ha, this makes me think of the I Am Legend scene where the dog runs inside the building, and Will Smith follows him and stumbles into a room full of infected that look like they are having a circle jerk.

I completely agree with this, it's fun to speculate, but we need more info before we can really say ANYTHING about it.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Rather than place the burden on another user to explain things that should be obvious, you might consider why you don't make the same observation.

There is zero doubt that NATAL has the POTENTIAL to be revoluationary.  Will it?  Who knows, but its potential shouldn't be subject to debate.
