 I also like how there was no furniture in that room,


That's my concern for Natal, i doubt the majority of households barely have all that free open space. And if players have to constantly move furnitures around to get the space needed would just seem ridiculous.  I'd like to see it being tested on a normal living room space with furnitures.


exactly, lets just say there are 5 people in your family and your in an average sized living room two people are up playing the red ball games, do the other 3 sat in the room watching have to keep perfectly still? can you imagine kids between 5-9 keeping still while others play.... it just wont happen, or say if someones just passing through the room to go the toilet and it goes into the camera vision slightly will it effect the game? also is there some sort of action to pause a game? or do you actually need the controller

My (parents) house is a fairly big single house and all the living room space i have between my TV and couch is like 7 feet by 9 feet wide (mite be less) and if thats the avg free living room space in a house of that size, image the free space in a smaller house? 

Yea i wonder if the people behind would have to sit still for the camera to not detect them? there can be alot of distraction if there are alot of kids and even pets.  I can imagine some girl trying to play and a dog comes up and tries to hump her XD  I wonder what the camera will detect from that lol

Im going to guess there'll either be a button on the screen for pause, or have voice commands where you'd have to yell out pause.  But if it's voice i can imagine some annoying kid yelling out pause constantly lol

BTW, how did you kno that i quoted you like an indication on VGC that lets u know someone quoted you or did you just check back on this thread time to time?  I know for the old version the text of the forum on the side changes color.  But is there a way to know for the new format?

yeah the voice activation could be annoying with kids lol
I did just happen to come back in and find ive been quoted, yeah it use to turn red, im not sure how you can tell if you've been quoted in other threads tbh, I know sometimes an exclamation mark appears highlighted by my profile pic at the top of the page, maybe thats it.. im not 100% though

You see I really don't care how good Natal is. I just want to point out that playing Natal will make you LOOK like a retard. The Woman in the video proves it all.

I'm just sayin. It makes you look retarded.

Well both the latest playtests have said when your there watching someone playing it, it's amazing to witness. It didnt feel wrong or awkward. But the most Natural experience yet with a game. And that only based on Riccochet. 

Worth reading if you saw my thread on it. 

Experiencing apparantly is the key here. 

Hence my sig is taken as a direct quote from the recent playtesters.

Flailing my arms around and wailing is not a very natural experience for me. Except if maybe i am getting attacked by a swarm of evil death wasps (it happens sometimes...)


Wait until you try it. 

The whole quote of Natal a skeptics worse nightmare came from hands on. Basically saying it's easy to hate on Natal when all youve experienced is watching videos of Riccochet and M$ press releases. But playing instantly makes you realise just how much you cant fault it. All hands on from May 27 say it's the most natural experience they had with gaming. 

So I guess it's in the playing it we will feel the difference.

Read them up. It's a good read.

But yeah, dont judge before you play.

I didn`t realise it was so important to look cool while playing video-games........

are you kidding? i get all dressed up and put my cool shades on.

when i'm playing games i don't answer to anyone unless they refer to me as 'Mr Awesome'.

>.>

I also have my tuxedo ironed for these sorts of occasions, you have to look "tip top"

No Sol you don't have to look "cool" at all but I don't want to look like a sweaty idiot either

maybe it would be, but i'm stuck lying down most of the day due to a back injury and my gaming space isn't very big.

maybe in the future when i recover and i hav a larger living room it might be a possibility.

I'd still think that flailing my arms around is not exactly the way i see myself playing games in the future but each to their own, hence the Wii doing so well.

a lot of wii games make you look like that too and it didn't stop it from selling, that's the crazy thing about gaming now, you no longer need to look awsome while playing



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
