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.


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. 

It should be obvious how natal could be revolutionary? I realise this has been discussed to death, however it doesn't change the fact that there has been no evidence of natal being revolutionary that i have seen.  As i originally stated, we havn't seen the natal tech doing anything more than very basic things.

The reason that some people are saying it will be revolutionary is simply because microsoft has told us all this, and we blindly believe.

Sigh, a proper response would probably get me banned again since the mods seem incapable of distinquishing artfully applied logic from trolling.

Short version - it might be helpful to read the definition of potential

Ehh... your trivial responses bore me.

Potential is based off evidence/facts, maybe YOU need to look up the definition of potential

Not surprised, it is made by Microsoft.


Sorry for going offtopic, but I was banned for calling L4D an exlcusive and this is okay? I reported him but for the mods on this site, this seems to be just fine.

How more obvious can trolling get? Do I need to insult someones mother first?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Seems pretty low light to me.  You can tell, because the TV is actually illuminating the person standing there.  And this is on the E3 version of Natal.

From the article "The system would function properly in direct sunlight or in total darkness, butwould have trouble in low light (not weak enough anyway to switch to infrared)."

 

I think the video you've shown would come under 'total darkness' rather than low light - I got the impression the author was saying that either extreme is fine, but the middle is difficult.

 

PS - I'm not trying to defend the article in any way :P Just on this one point I don't think it was making the claim you thought it was. That said, with the google translation from French it's hard to know what it was saying about anything

 

I'm pretty much trying to forget Natal exists until E3 - there's a lot of pro/anti Natal news flying around and I don't believe anyone knows what they're talking about.

Natal never switches to infrared.  Infrared light is always bathing the scene.  Infrared, is in fact, the most critical part of Natal.
